Law is not so stupid.

Rivers election cost many human lives.

Anyone, lawyer INEC, judge thinking of rerun is most evil minded.


I am not from Rivers state

They can make Shekau Senate President.

But sure, We shall survive Buhari with his most caustic presidency.

yarimo:
That is very commendable from president BUHARI, just take your time and make Nigeria great again.

By the time he takes his time, Chad would have overtaken Nigeria.

Lugard, why did you put some people and some people together into one Nigeria?

PrettyCrystal:
A young man couldn't be happier after a posionous snake which invaded his residence, was caught, killed and used to prepare a meal.

According to Benjamin who hails from Enugu state, the reptile invaded his house by 12.14am today and was spotted on time before it could wreck any havoc.

The snake was immediately captured by the young man with the help of his brothers.

That did not end there as the boys turned the snake into a meal after killing it. It was used to prepare a "sumptous" meal of pepper soup.

Snake seems to be the most stupid and dangerous animal.

Why? It frequently leaves bush and enters into human habitations.
Other dangerous animals mind their own habitats, don't enter human habitations.

Snake is stupid and dangerous. Kill it anywhere.

Na them be the most active on Nairaland politics sef.

By the time PDP zone Vice president to South South in 2023 their eyes go clear Pata pata

If you had known that democracy is not winner takes it all.


Cruelty in APC population is making APC redefine democracy in Nigeria.

PDP did not deny the SW region its rights, as the SW was in opposition then.


In the USA, once winner of presidential election emerges, no body discriminates against the losers.

Okorocha is poorly educated, that's why he believes in the bunkum he says now. Just like lots of APC members who believe in winner takes it all in a democracy.

What did Igbos get from Buhari govt all the time Rochas Okorocha was in APC?


Instead, Okorocha used the federal allocations of Orlu and other local government areas to build federal government prisons and police headquarters in Owerri, to expand his dream mega city, Owerri.

Floods still wreck Orlu, as Okorocha blatantly refused to complete the Orlu urban drainage project started by a former governor of Imo state.

KARMA has caught up with Rochas Okorocha, he now makes incoherent speeches.

No governor who thinks of the future would treat the area he received the highest number of votes the shiit manner Rochas Okorocha treated Orlu

KARMA IS DOING WAR AGAINST OKOROCHA

Okorocha, go and do atonement by asphalting the more than 15km of roads you maliciously scrapped and abandoned in Orlu where you scored highest number of votes in 2011 to become governor.

Did you not except KARMA after treating Orlu like shiit for six years, after your showmanship of widening four streets and put street lights on them, ran away to Owerri?

@ubdavis

Ha ha ha.

If you had known how well educated teachers teach, and the differences in the products of well trained and badly trained teachers...

Why did we earliest have Teacher Training Colleges, and later, Colleges of Education?

Those citing Venezuela are on cheap blackmail.
If America wants to turn Nigeria to another Venezuela, it's easy, Atiku factor can't be the simulator.


Kenyan Supreme Court just annulled Kenya's presidential election results.


Why blackmail Atiku to stop going on with challenging results of Nigeria's presidential election before the courts?

urchmanio:
visited futo last week, was surprised to see the proximity between two federal institution ( FUTO and FedPoly Nekede )

Yes. Three govt universities and two govt polytechnics are within range of six kilometers in Owerri, in a senatorial zone of nine local government areas in Imo state.


There is no govt university or tertiary education institution outside Owerri, no govt university in Orlu senatorial zone of twelve local government areas.


Yet Owerri people have the heart to covet Imo state University temporarily located in Owerri by a former governor of Imo state from Owerri. They fight to finish any govt that talks of permanent location of Imo state university outside Owerri zone.

Evil things are happening in Imo state now reduced to Owerri state.

Abagworo:
Easy with your imaginations. Okorocha built Imo State University of Science and Technology at Umuna in Onuimo LGA and also built University of Medical Sciences at Orlu. This is in addition to University of Agriculture at Aboh Mbaise and Ngor Okpala, Eastern Palm University in Orlu and Imo State College of Education at Ihitte Uboma.

Most importantly he did it without noise like Ugwuanyi that called the entire village to celebrate foundation laying for just administrative block.

Abagworo

Do you think the new gov can convert Eastern Palm University in Ogboko to a full government university?

If he does, that's the only way to have a needed govt university in Orlu zone of twelve local government areas.
Imo state University teaching hospital with less than 500 students population is a mere training institution for health personnel.

Well done gov Ugwuanyi.

But if Enugu state were to be Imo state, the new university must be located in CAPITAL CITY, as Owerri people call it.

Imo is the only state in Nigeria with all three govt universities in the state located in the state capital.

Any attempt by any governor to locate one university outside the state capital has been resisted like warfare by indigenous people of Owerri zone who make rent profits from students

fykes:
war and insurgency is a big global business... Check military budgets and know why I surgency have come to stay. And now there's a 55bn NEDC. how do u want the handlers to justify their spendings if Boko Haram does not attack?

Insurgency has come to stay in Nigeria.

It's for politics or for money or truly religious faith.

Pity the sets of Nigerians who would have loved to progress under a different peaceful country carved out from Nigeria, but are delayed that inevitability for now.

wink2015:
Only a restructuring and or the creation of an autonomous state for boko haram will end this insurgency

A new country for the 12 states that adopted Islamic Sharia criminal laws. That's the only solution.
Boko Haram says it is fighting for a country to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal laws.

Ndume seriously going for Senate President; Ndume who was fingered for sponsorship of Boko Haram.

Buhari is president.

Attack on Boko Haram is like attack on the north - Buhari.

I shall not relent until Islamic Sharia criminal laws are used all over Nigeria - Buhari.

Twelve northern Nigeria's states, beginning 2019, adopted the use of unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal laws, including stoning women to death for adultery, cutting off the hands of thieves, death for blasphemy, etc.

Boko Haram fighters now recruited into Nigeria's armed Forces.

Bandits (Boko Haram) advance in from far north.

Fulani herdsmen are all over the place.

Did Othman Dan Fodio not instigate his descendants to never stop until...?



Muslim military dictators who supervised Nigeria's constitution refused to allow Sharia criminal laws in the constitution.

SarkinYarki:
is the Buhari govt not also treating and releasing Boko haram fighters? is the Buhari govt not the primary financial sponsor of Boko haram today under the auspices ransom payments

Boko Haram fighters absorbed into Nigerian army is another indication to who sponsor Boko Haram and their Jihadddi objective.

Too early.
What has he been doing all these years?

Well, he was never confirmed by Nigerians in the National Assembly to be the country's economic and financial crimes fighter.

mbos:
WHILE YOUR TRADE MARK IS CONSTITUTIONALLY STEALING NIGER DELTA OIL.

From a constitution supervised by northern soldiers without a plebiscite.
That's no constitution. It's a constitution to steal from south to develop the north.

Who loves Nigeria now colonized by herdsmen, Bokos foreign fighters, Bandits marauding all over Nigeria?

Neither the Edos not the Igbos.

Otemwen no ghan. Egua tuo!!!

This is a symbolic court case, does not show enmity between the two groups - IPOB and Edo.

If it were enmity, both groups would have been fighting there.

Edos are no enemies to Igbo.

Develop more sense. You never can tell, both groups might even have conspired to bring up the case in court for publicity on BIAFRA

ernieboy:
you can come with other flags but the ipob flag is a symbol of rebellion against an established state.

Established state?

Nearly most of European countries came out from established state.

Stop deceiving yourself because of smell of crude oil.
It's no rebellion to ask for a new country from an existing country.

AbaLion:
Let Yorubas carry popcorn and watch as these two tiny parasitic tribes tear into each other.
They have been clogging together to insult Yoruba lately but God has sent a bug of enmity in their midst.


-Lion

Tufia. Bini can easily put up with the Igbo, not as much as with Yoruba who call fellow Nigerians strangers in Lagos where those Nigerians have landed property, in Lagos built with oil money.

MetaPhysical:
Why is Ipob taking them to court? Is that not the flag Ojukwu put in their land in 1967? As an ex-biafran territory they are entitled to it!

This case should be thrown out of court. You dont steal what is your entitlement.

No. Biafra Forces declared Republic of Bini when they captured Bini Kingdom.

Biafra or Ojukwu never took Bini Kingdom as part of Biafra.


Bini Kingdom as proclaimed Republic of Bini would have developed better than today if Oyibo did not put hand in the civil war then, you know it.

LuciferYaweh:
They don start again.

Flattino Osu chest-beating gorilla Jews always causing commotion everywhere they go.

Don't be surprised when they lose this case and their leader tries to escape through the courtroom window wearing female Aso Ebi & gele plus lipstick.

Develop more sense.

The sense you were born with must have been washed away by smell of crude oil.

Osagyefo98:
Even outside, edo is afraid of biafra

Your fear of Biafra restoration is beginning of your wisdom.
But you don't know that crude oil is not all there is for a country to survive on.
If not for crude oil in the Niger delta, won't you have looked away while Biafra is restored now?

gurunlocker:
Our leaders are just fond of traveling to developed countries without bringing the blueprints of development they saw into the country.


Very useless people!!!

How many times have we heard Buhari govt talk of providing pipe borne water to Nigerian cities and villages?

Buhari and other leaders go outside Nigeria, see citizens drinking treated water from pipes.

They return to Nigeria to expect citizens to drink from private water boreholes or sachet/bottled water of unknown source.

Buhari doing what he missed when he was head of a military govt seen as illegitimate by the saner world then - touring the world, shaking hands with foreign leaders.

Who says Buhari is not for himself, but for betterment of the quality of life of Nigerians?

Our lady foreign investment has still refused to give us her product, a product of her invention with Adams in a close encounter, close wrestling match, why?



Look at this photo very well. She refused to open her mouth for a kiss even on the wedding day, while Adams was mouth agape, waiting for her cooperation.
In other words, right from Day One - she was determined for no product from our investment.

Gov Okorocha. Go first to mend fences with people of your senatorial zone who you offended gravely, before talk about your going to Senate.

Start by completing the urban roads you scrapped in Orlu.

What type of politician would leave the roads he deliberately scrapped in Orlu where he got the highest number of votes to become gov?

NaijaRoyalty:
Less than two months to the end of his first incumbency, it is now beyond doubt that President Muhammadu Buhari loves to bask in the short-term escapism of foreign trips. In the past week, the President has been to three different capitals in West Africa and the Middle East. With misery, insecurity and economic implosion escalating at home, it is provocative that Buhari is junketing around the world.  After his second election victory, his priority should be the home front.

First, he was in Dakar on April 2 to witness the inauguration of Macky Sall as president of Senegal. Two days after the Dakar trip, the President headed for Amman, the Jordanian capital, for the World Economic Forum on the Middle East/North Africa. From Amman, he hit Dubai on Sunday for an investment meeting where he was a Guest of Honour. There is nothing bad about heads of state engaging in strategic foreign trips, but it should not be at the expense of pressing domestic issues.

Despite being re-elected, Buhari’s first term in office is an unremitting parade of mediocre performance.  In yet another blistering report on Nigeria’s poverty trap, Bloomberg has highlighted Nigeria’s misery and “poverty time bomb,” inflation, insecurity and economic misery. The editorial says the government led by Buhari bears a grave responsibility: “His record over the last four years is discouraging. Economic growth has barely recovered following the 2014 crash in the price of oil, which remains Nigeria’s biggest export and source of government revenue. Per capita Gross Domestic Product is less than it was when he took office. Joblessness has more than tripled. Efforts to spur agriculture and other non-oil parts of the economy have failed. Foreign direct investment has fallen by more than half since 2010.”

Truly, on Buhari’s watch, the economy is still drifting: inflation, at 11.31 per cent in February, compounds the credit and exchange rate crises and amid a severe energy crisis where, says Bloomberg, “…decrepit refineries force Africa’s biggest oil producer to import 90 per cent of its petroleum products,” and “electricity generation is less than one-sixth of South Africa’s, though its population is three times bigger.” Ranked 146 out of 190 countries in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index in 2018, FDI has tanked: Buhari’s re-election victory triggered additional capital flight, with investors pulling $2 billion from the bourse; N86 billion vanished in mere six hours. Over 30 per cent of the youth are jobless, the ports in disarray and infrastructure in ruins. Like the 21.3 per cent unemployment rate, the mess at the Apapa seaports, and unmerciful interest rates — are partly because of Buhari’s rudderless handling of affairs.

Other reports on Nigeria are no less comforting. Hanke’s Annual Misery Index 2018 rates Nigeria the world’s sixth “most miserable” country. The country’s displacement of India as the global poverty capital with 91 million extremely poor as ranked by Brookings Institution’s World Poverty Clock, is made worse by a joint research by Oxfam and the Development Finance International ranking Nigeria bottom — at 157 out of 157 countries surveyed — in the commitment to and progress in addressing poverty.  Just how adrift the country has become  is further demonstrated by the Commitment to Reducing Inequality Index finding that Nigeria’s social spending is “shamefully low,” tax policies and labour rights dismal, while its number of out-of-school children has risen to 13.2 million to retain its dubious world’s highest rank. The World Bank’s Human Capital Index rates Nigeria 152 out of 157 countries; it has the world’s 21st  highest HIV prevalence level (2.9 per cent) and remains, along with Afghanistan and Pakistan, one of only three countries that are polio-endemic.

Sadly, too, Buhari is barely breaking a sweat over Nigeria’s many killing fields. There is no reasonable argument to explain Buhari’s recent foreign trips when insecurity has overwhelmed the Nigerian landscape. Apart from Boko Haram’s deadly campaign, scores of helpless masses are being slaughtered by bandits, robbers and kidnappers in many states, especially Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, Benue and Plateau. In other parts of the country, life has become so cheap as violent crime pervades the country.  Buhari’s statement that it is ridiculous and unfair to suggest that he is not concerned about the situation in Zamfara is as trite as his earlier responses to the carnage.

Where is the President getting it wrong? It is said that the costs of vision-free leadership include inconsistent programmes, policies that have unintended consequences, and sheer drift. Buhari is failing woefully due to his laid back style and preferences. This government lacks a clear-cut vision to pilot a 21st century society. The economy is adrift because of the overbearing presence of government in business and security has broken down as a result of an over-centralised police system. A statist, he has refused to take the common sense route of liberalising key economic sectors and privatising the monumentally corrupt state enterprises headlined by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. He is yet to demonstrate sufficient capacity to strategise, supervise or attract and use talents. His insufferable aloofness and condescending attitude are undermining public trust in government. As President, he hardly connects with the people or takes charge even in the face of unprecedented insecurity. He hardy visits the states, even when people die in tens from disasters of violent attacks. Buhari’s cold and uncaring attitude and some of his officials’ inertia have fuelled the Fulani herdsmen killings. Over 5,000 persons were killed across the country in the first six months of 2018, say civil society organisations. We cannot continue like this.

But what should Buhari be doing differently now? Meritocracy offers a solution. In “The Qualities that bear on presidential performance,” Fred Greenstein, a Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Princeton University, writes, “A president’s capacity as an organiser includes his ability to forge a team and get the most out of it, minimising the tendency of subordinates to tell their boss what they sense he wants to hear.” The President should put together a strong, detribalised and competent cabinet that is capable of thinking outside the box. He needs also to pursue market-friendly policies.  Africa is seen by the West as the last investment frontier. Nigeria, its biggest economy and population, should take advantage of this development.

Between his May 2015 inauguration as President and May 2016, Buhari made 30 overseas trips. Undoubtedly, the home front was at the receiving end. Worse, Nigerians do not feel his energy when he is around. He ensconces himself in Abuja like a hermit. This lethargic leadership should give way to purposefulness. Instead of his unprofitable foreign trips, Buhari should steer the economy in the right direction.

His government will need to attract investment for infrastructure and job creation: UNCTAD’s Global Investment Trends Monitor noted that “relatively diversified economies as Egypt and South Africa saw more stable and increasing inflows” of $7.9 billion (a 7 per cent rise) and $7.1 billion (up from $1.3 billion in 2017) in 2018 respectively, FDI in Nigeria however fell 36 per cent to $2.2 billion the same year. Pathetically, it lost the No.1 FDI recipient in West Africa status to Ghana that drew $3.3 billion. Britain opened up its aviation services to FDI when it ceded Gatwick Airport and London City Airport to Global Infrastructure Partners. Heathrow Airport has also been liberalised. As a global trend, Brazil put up 54 of its airports for privatisation in 2017, and four of them fetched it R$3.72 billion. Nigeria should subject its airports to this model of economic liberalism.

The mounting economic distress and grave security situation at home demand that the President spends less time outside the country. Foreign direct investment is not blind; its eyes are open only to safe jurisdictions that can fetch it good returns. And to ensure that the protection of the people of Nigeria is one of his primary responsibilities and functions, as he claimed, the President should accept the inevitability of state police.

Punch editors.

Why not ask yourselves this simple question:

Why would a man like Muhammadu Buhari emerge as Nigeria's president twice, in a country with hundreds of thousands of younger, less corrupt, better educated and more qualified presidential materials than Muhammadu Buhari?

Answer is: the 36 states and Abuja political structure, with 20 states sewed like seeds by northern military dictators in the former northern region, but only 17 states in the former two southern regions, that's what makes the Buharis of northern Nigeria easily emerge president of Nigeria.

A presidential candidate must win 25% in 24 states before proclaimed winner.
It's thus easier even for a cow from Buhari northern region to win a most qualified presidential candidate from the southern regions.


Truth is, there should have been more states in the two southern regions than in the one northern region, because in a country formed by different regions, land mass or population is never used as yardstick to determine where new political units like states or local government areas can be created.

Equity between the regions that formed the country must be the yardstick in creating new political units.

Restructure Nigeria politically in a democracy, else, there are more to moan for in Nigeria.
