Look and see if you recognize some of our corrupt and greedy "bastar'ds" you are talking about.

Who is deceiving who? I hope your Aunty showed up for last night's own.

A Bell 429 Helo (with EMS config) for over 2 Billion Naira (not including the 500 Million Naira local currency component) !!!!


NIGERIANS WE ARE FINISHED.

These politicians deserved to be hanged.

Nigeria is Africa's largest crude oil exporter and while the majority of the country's 150 million [/b]residents live below the poverty line

there are [b]hundreds who have a large share in billions of dollars from the continent's biggest oil industry.

They look like Nairalanders. Has anyone been missing of late?

charges presented by the prosecution was defective and shoddy.

ACN wondered how the government of President Goodluck Jonathan can honestly seek a consensus on burning national issues, as he is reported to be planning to, when he is denying Nigerians access to federally-funded media to air their views simply because they are in opposition.

lol  

All bold faced lies, factual inaccuracies, and myths will be busted with 5 page epistles.  

Also, I don't think Yoruba or any other group has to be linked to Egypt, the Sudan or Western Asia to be considered "a powerful civilization" in ancient times.

Pa Clark would have rather prodded on President Jonathan to just conduct elections and hand over to a tested Northern performer. Thereafter he would negotiate for power transfer to the South-South. That would give them the opportunity to groom the RotimiAmaechis, Pat Utomis or ItseSagays for the presidency.

Insisting that anybody be made president simply because it is “the turn of Niger Delta” is a mockery of privilege.

@ Kilode?!

No one, including myself said that the Army is perfect. Everyone knows it has its flaws.

BTW, can you please list instances when the Nigerian Military got its Bottom whooped by the genderms of cameroon? are you refering the same Cameroon that were actually scared of us and viewed us as imperialists? Even the then NAF squadron in Calabar had FAR more planes than the whole Cameroonian Airforce . Maybe you missed the news where Nigeria VOLUNTARILY handed over the peninsula to Cameroon based on the ICJ ruling that favoured the later. Seriously, spend less time on movies and more time watching the news. You'll learn a lot.

In 1992-1993, the Cameroon government continued with aggression against Nigerians by openly killing some Nigerian civilians in Cameroon during the time when Anglophones demanded their autonomy from the Francophone’s. At this time, some Nigerians were even ousted from Cameroon as the harassing tax-drives went on.
From January of 1994 to May of 1996, border clashes between Cameroon military personal and the Nigeria military continued to occur, this time on a more serious manner.

By the 6th of May 1996, diplomatic representations reported that over fifty Nigerian soldiers had been killed and some taken to prisons in Cameroon. Although Nigeria is much bigger in population and military size, it is said that Cameroon did not have any casualties in the battle. (NY Time, May 7th 1996, p. 5)

@ ocelot 2006

You did not answer the question
The young man asked of fighter jets and you answered with military transport junks all non combatant except for a few light helos

I saw in your previous post where you mentioned
Vlc's,steyer, octar abi na wetin as military hardwares during the delta conflict and you shamelessly added Augusta 109
Lol

Pls do nairalanders a favour, list out the capabilities of these hardwares you mentioned above then i will post a picture of the terrain so you can tell us exactly how your boys could utilize them,

You sounded like a fat general drinking cofee at the army headquarters while your boys were slaughtered in droves in the delta.

You dont knw what you are saying a thick mangroove chopper competent for that crises will definitely need a downward thrust aim of less than 45 degrees, a modern Apache will qualify i dont know about that lunch box you called Augusta 109

Till you explain how your ocotor lol or steyer can fight in a creek of swampy mangroove, i may have other things to tell you.

I told an officer guarding our facility then that the NA needed just 2 serious hardwares for that conflict
A military spec hovercraft with minimum of 50caliber machine guns
And a millitary spec transport boogey to flush those guys, unfortunately your men came with life jackets, AKs and your Augusta 109 lol

Lemme remind you that the honda 300hp patrol boat arrived in the delta in 2010, you can imagine what happened to your boys hitherto at the onset of the crisis.

I am aware you may have gotten the report on how the ND boys hijacked those toys in the delta before the Honda's arrived.

Lastly, about the crack down on tompolo, the main tompolo boys have already accepted Amnesty before the crackdown that alone has weakened his formations also during that time he was more a buisness partner with the military than enemy so i believe he let his guard down.

The buisness i am talking about is the fact that tompolo uses military to escort his bunkery barges,so my dear, enspounge that instance from your success story and brief us from 2005 to 2009 how your lunch box Augusta 109 dropped oil production from 2m bbl/d in 2005 to a paltary 450,000 bbls/d in 2009.

Im neither for the miscreants in the delta nor for your inept millitary but i stood as a discerning mind who watched as events unfolded, those ND boys fu.cked the military that they had no go areas in the delta.

Yaradua salvaged a national disaster.

hassymo5:

The divide in the House of rep might seem minor to the onlooker, but it isn't. Tinubu's rhetoric is sweet on the surface, but you only need to scratch the surface to find his motivation which is strongly anti-people. Tinubu connived with IBB to instal Tambuwal so as to trip the FG, if all Southern leaders had the same progressive goals, that unthinkable link up would not have occurred; if we would have lost, at least we would have done so as a united front. Today the House of Rep is split into the IBB/Tinubu and GEJ factions; a recipe for running on the spot. I do not see anything getting done by the House of Rep in the next 4 years.

As for Tinubu's rhetoric about true federalism, pay close attention to the details and you will find that he is arguing to further strengthen the unitary system (which will benefit him more personally), rather than for true federalism. There have been two giveaways so far.
The first is Tinubu's call for even more funding from Abuja, a position that is antithetical to true federalism. If the FG gives more money, then it must exert proportionally or exponentially more control; he who pays the piper dictates the tune. The calculation for Tinubu is simple, he gets more from milking Lagos and the benefits of true federalism can be buggerred.
The second, is his outright rejection of GEJ's suggestion that LG's be empowered, while the states and FG are weakened. Any supporter of true federalism would have welcomed this. LG's are the power houses of development and service provision (fire brigade, policing, certain areas of taxation etc) in all developed countries. Of even greater appeal for a country like Nigeria, is the fact that an LG based system would go very far to decentralising power in ways that directly loosen the rampant ethnic / religious bigotries that are ravaging the country.

If there is no unity in the South, there is slim hope for any fundamental constitutional change. The two stumbling blocks to immediate national dialogue are IBB and Tinubu; without these two highly moneyed men with low morals, all other power blocks would since have crumbled.
