Hmmm... let proper investigation be done and any erring party found be charged and tried by the courts not browbeaten by security agencies with their penchant for endless detention.

If they need training then they should get trained on how to pursue investigations to logical conclusions. Finally it is not everything that should hit the news even when nothing has been done. For once they should present a finished job at least up to d point of trial...not every time they are seeking or set to.

The question you have to ask yourself is why exactly corruption is more moderate in Spain, and even more so in places like Singapore - and one major factor explaining the difference is that in Nigeria and most of Africa, it is all too easy for crooked politicians to hide behind tribalism. It's really quite mystifying that it is the very people from whom the politicians have stolen who rush to their defense for free, but it is what it is. Call it tribal Stockholm Syndrome.

Which is why it is better to split so u deal with ur fellow countrymen of same origin and no one can accuse anyone of whipping up tribal sentiments since it's obvious oneness is not happening in Nigeria.

Again?! They better do a good job this time and justify their pay. I also hope they'll have copies of the CONFAB to guide this review. It will really be a great joy to have a complete departure from this military relic called a Constitution and have a real people-oriented Constitution.

TonyeBarcanista is using style to win his way back in apc folds not knowing he's making mockery of himself

I am shocked at his about face honestly. I don't know how he does it...so fickle minded!

People think everyone is taken in by the show of shame being put on by Buhari, the EFCC and d Aisha rice consumers. Well done Snailspeed for standing tall and saying what many think in their hearts but deny by their words because they seek favour somewhere.

The evil they propagate today in the name of fighting corruption will surely consume them and in that time there will be no one to speak for them or even accord them the courtesy of hearing their side of the story.

Since it is now fashionable to detain and torture people under the guise of criminal investigations, deliberately truncating the procedures of arrest, arraignment and trial, if care is not taken it will get to a point where any one is guilty at the behest and conviction of the President and powers that be.

Nobody is asking what d Ministry of Health is doin and Lassa fever is slowly spreading with a damning mortality rate of almost 44%. Yet a serving APC Senator deemed fit to suggest breeding of cats. They are not scandalised by such ineptitude and are busy egging impunity on in the name of fighting corruption.

Do things the right way and don't turn the law on its head to bring about tyranny which only secures at best a pyrrhic victory. The moment the law and courts are seen as mere inconveniences that can be dispensed with at will then such clandestine operators like GMB and his attack dogs are the epitome of corruption which they claim to want to fight.

]I fuuccking hate biafran bastards because they are hateful sons and daughters of biiittches. There I said it

Oh dear! Hate harder...drives u faster to d great beyond!

Some people on this thread are so odd! How does it all boil down to Biafra? Can u not stay on topic? Do u sleep and breathe Biafra? Does it relate to u in any way? Why would you allow mischief dwell in ur heart so much that u do not know where to draw the line and ur objectivity is shot to hell?

Exactly! So let everyone come up with theirs as he has done for the Igbos and let there be healthy competition with common goals! If they trail behind they simply go back to the drawing board and restrategise! Is there anything he said there that is a lie or impossible? Is self-determination a crime? Efforts made were truncated to d detriment of a people and u say it's not marginalization? What is it then?

Can the current Nigerian structure make any reasonable strides when people are constantly put down to make room for some less-qualified people in the name of federal character? The same federal character that is thrown aside at will to favour any tribe in power?

MayorofLagos:
In fact the poster that brought this Nwakanma poet here is delusional as well. This is no response to the issue of marginalization. This Nwankanma exposed himself as a sympathiser of the defunct Biafran movement and a supporter of treasonable actions against the nation.

If every society list what they have done to move their society forward all these items he listed will have the Ibo trailing the rest.

Facts were laid bare and u call it chest beating. Is the current status quo any good? The simple gist of what the author stated is that the Igbos function best on a level ground where hard work n merit are respected n rewarded. The other developed countries did not get to where they are by the sick kind of Federal structure operated in Nigeria.

It is best to work with people of like minds and beliefs. This pull-him-down syndrome u just manifested by ur comment is what makes u see achievemens n possibilities of the Igbos as bragging. That is why an Igbo man will go somewhere, establish n develop his business and expand. Years later,after land owners have willingly exchanged their lands for money in simple business transactions u turn around and call Igbos land grabbers with expansionist tendencies. Meanwhile they never killed or forced anyone out to occupy an area.

Nigeria can do better as separate countries entirely or autonomous federating units...it's time to do things differently for a change.

MayorofLagos:


I swear, even the highly trained and academic elites of Ibo society are immature compared with their peers, say amongst Yoruba or Hausa.

What is this This professor or Dr or whatever he is wrote this chest beating and braggadocio as a show and tell to communicate how Ibo is marginalized. Really

So if you have the biggest diamond mine in the world that makes you marginalized? If you own Port Harcourt, Aba, Onistha, Asaba, Owerri, Enugu...that makes you marginalized? If Onitsha and Aba is the only place in the world where Fulani Emir can buy electric bulb then it makes Ibo marginalized? If America comes to Abakaliki market to purchase their aircraft carrier that makes you marginalized

Geez...this dude is mental!

They are wetting their panties because of 2 guns? Yet Fulani marauders walk d length n breadth of Nigeria toting guns, knives and all manner of deadly weapons while visiting mayhem n death in communities they set their demonic feet upon! Yet the DSS doesn't consider them a threat to national security. They are ranked among the world's deadliest groups yet it's all fine ad dandy because their fellow nomad is at d helm of affairs.

Hypocrisy will kill these security agents and their overlord. For those saying Nnamdi Kanu will be hanged next year, u will certainly go the way of ur ugly thoughts n words before him!

dustydee:
Was the article not referring to the location of the illegal refinery and not the entire community?

It referred to lands in the area which would be seized or forfeited by the community. The activities of d FG should be limited to seizing or destroying bunkering facilities not overreaching itself to steal lands from the people.

akajos4real:
When we see them in our communities, let's go and report them to the authorities instead of collecting land rent from them to operate such illegal refineries in our villages. Nobody should complain when government takes their action. QED

In a situation where someone like u probably works and lives far away from ur hinterland hometown with poorly educated people at home, would u say this when u come home and see that ur people have been dispossessed of their traditional homes because the FG was too lazy to proactively apprehend criminals? In other words, u exonerate those who do not do their jobs to investigate and arrest criminals but just swoop in to seize lands....some of d security agents might even be in the know and share d proceeds! So will u be there to 'see and report'?

This is why state policing has been advocated cos indigenes of an area who better understand d terrain and culture of d ppl will work more effectively but this has been rejected. This will be a direct offshoot of regional autonomy but those who benefit from the sick federalism we run have trashed all efforts to remedy this including the CONFAB report. U are talking of d community maintaining vigilance when they are unarmed and without any protection so who saves their arses when heavily armed men come in reprisal for setting security forces on them?

U forget that a lot of security officials and highly placed politicians bankroll these people and so they even leak their intelligence reports thereby placing members of d community in harm's way. What has d govt done to clean itself up before venting on the people with federal might of seizure?

Atk1nson:
The idea is to get the community to maintain vigilance of their price heritage and not allow it to be used for criminality, just the way a landlord is expected to keeped vigilance over his priced property and not allow it to be a den for criminals.

if the community values its land, it should do the needful and maintain vigilance on its land. if not, a more competent person (FG) would administer it, just as they do for abandoned properties that become a threat to the safety of society

So the 'great' thing he can do is to threaten innocent people with seizure of their ancestral lands because someone committed an offence in the area? I asked, why are we not hearing d same threat against those that carry out illegal mining operations in the North?
Important laws like d Whistle Blower Protection Bill have not been passed to assure people of some protection if they successfully report oil bunkering agents so what do u expect them to do?

Is this the proper way to fight crime? When the FG wants to do something 'tangible' it will do so without threatening and impoverishing the people it is sworn to protect. In fact, when it provides infrastructure and invests in agriculture with sound people-oriented policies to pilot d affairs of the nation then such criminal activities will be easily checked cos people will be gainfully engaged/employed.

It is rather people like u that make Nigeria more rotten because u endorse draconian and ill-thought out policies that backfire because they impoverish d masses for d benefit of a few.

What else do I want Buhari to do? I want him to think beyond military action and forceful acquisition. I want him to look beyond sectional interests and work intelligently. If that is beyond him then he should hire young qualified people, form a think-tank then marshal out and implement workable policies that promote d interests and prosperity of the common man.

Weeee:
People like you is the reason why Nigeria is in the state it's right now. The federal government can't do anything tangible because people like you will always come out to criticize and what pains me most is that you guys don't criticize constructively.

Even if Buhari leaves the South and kills all the people in the North, people like you would still come out to say rubbish. When Buhari tries to do something great to make Nigeria better, guys like you don't hesitate to compare everything he does in the North with the South and vice versa.

What else do you want Buhari to do?

This had better not be true!

And all those terrorism/boko haram sympathisers that harbour d criminal elements or have been overpowered, how many have been threatened with d seizure of their ancestral lands? With all the illegal mining operations in the North who has threatened them this way? Is it even mentioned or recognised as an offence? Why does this government want to kill itself on oil and petroleum? To think there are half-assed creatures that support this...u are mistakes for human beings.

Do u not realise that those individuals are heavily armed and do not hesitate to kill those in the way of their business? Is it not the same reason a ministerial appointee during his screening baldly refused to talk about boko haram because he claimed to have family to protect? Someone with government protection o! Why then will d govt, with all machinery at its disposal to carry out investigations, arrest hoodlums and protect lives n property then seek to foist more hardship on the people?

It is high time supporters of this govt remind the General and his agents that this is a democracy and he must run the affairs of this nation with a humane face. If the govt and it's security parastatals cannot carry out their jobs without further destroying homes thereby engendering resentment and unrest then they better quit!

These Dangote trucks are a menace to road users. Amaechi had better wake up and see to the revamping of Road Safety operations so that vehicles are actually road-worthy not just having a paper that says so!

Some kind bras sha! Dem dey issue federal warning @ the lady in white in d 3rd pic. Cossy isn't quite decent yet in ds pic but she's getting there... I hope

Chibok was a major scam. Madam large lipz aka Oby Ezekwesili made sure she championed a dead cause, fighting against her own in the interest of others who will kill her at the slightest opportunity or provocation.
She parted those humongous lipz to proclaim that the former administration denied her 6 international appointments and I wonder how!

GEJ is long gone and now she's too ashamed to admit the truth of her treacherous ways. She rather feels it is more important to announce her leaving social media like it serves a purpose.

Kudos to Ena Ofugara for telling her the truth! How a woman of her pedigree sank so low I can never understand. Even those supposedly affected didn't show themselves like she did cos it was all a big, fat lie. I only blame GEJ for not getting his act together and exposing their lies and disgracing the hateful elements that used such propaganda to perpetuate themselves in power like it's their birthright.

Time alone will tell...

Naijacitizen:
That is how you people calling every man a kid nd I am not surprising because this have been capricious of nowadays online ladies.

Then act like a man cos grown men don't go around saying people reason from the anus due to their opinions or refer to personal lives like u did calling ur wife to ride ur dick cos u were wild n ready...certainly not on a public forum.

Behave like u want to be addressed. Have a good morning.

Naijacitizen:
Your husband's rooster is growing hard. Go and give him your pussy. Bitch!

Still proves me right...nothing but a silly kid with a smart phone.

Yep, ur rudeness and dumbness is legendary...ride on. If it is not a fight between the islamic sects of d sunni n shiites what is Iran's business? Silly kid...u do reason thru d anus

Naijacitizen:
Another coward from Biafra creek.

@bold, how do you come with this statistic that it is between Sunni versus Shiit? Are all military that carry this attack sunni?

No wonder Biafra always reason through their anus.

An unfortunate but true situation @op... We watch n wait, hoping that for the sake of those who refuse to sell their consciences to the devil, d situation will not become as severe. Some here will call u a naysayer and others in zombie-like fashion will remain asking how many barrels of oil ur compound produces, forgetting that it is way beyond that now...

So unfortunate...

#WhoWillTellThePresident that he has surrounded himself with d same criminal contents of PDP and that APC has no cleansing power to save?

#WhoWillTellThePresident that apart from 'fighting corruption' that there are other areas which must be addressed and that the rule of law is not his to be toyed with? That he cannot pick n choose which judgment of the courts to obey or not to obey?

#WhoWillTellThePresident that corruption in Nigeria started from when numbers were falsified to give the North numerical advantage and not just from 2010?

This is d reason why it is best to be divided so as to be separate from crap like this when it begins to get funny. People that don't understand the importance of Biafra continue to put it down...

Pray tell, what is d business of a Christian especially in d southern n middle belt areas of Nigeria with this pissing contest bw sunni and shiites? This is how they brainwash those who don't know better n b4 u know it, an Igbo man in Sabon gari will be killed and no one will be held accountable.
