CFCfan: Ngama said the rate in which the non-oil revenue was declining on a monthly basis would surely pose a threat to allocations to the three tiers of government.

tomakint: Especially that 'Koro owu' guy you are quoting, he could be so irritating in his assertions most times! You can easily tell, he is a psychopath, haba people can die on top nothing attimes sef

alexchiny: SENSELESS POST FROM A KNOWN BIGOT!

Sincere 9gerian: When reports of rising unemployment rate appear, they blame GEJ. When reports of rising poverty appear, they blame GEJ.

But when reports of factories springing up here and there, and creating jobs appear, they say it has NOTHING to do with GEJ.

Clearly, these HATERS are CONFUSED.

tomakint: ...and this is happening under the watchful eyes of Jonathan (the one haters branded retardeen, Jonathan etc) while their Fashola with more than N30 billion naira monthly revenue cannot even address the flood menace in Lagos, many Lagosians are even relocating to other states all as a result of frustration from the capitalist-tendencies of the 'so-called best Governor' a.k.a Mr Eko oni baje, the same man who jerked up the school fees of LASU (a state-owned University by more than 200% hmmmn, may God delivers many bigot-minded whiners on Nairaland ooooo (Amen)!
Welldone Sir, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, tell your detractors and those desperate rogues that you are a 'Moving Train' anyone wey get two heads make e stand your way, na peme be dat oooo, Jonathan all the way 2019

shymexx: I don't care about political parties, politricking, and realpolitik... and I'll give accolades to anyone who deserves it irrespective of the political party/platform he/she represents...

If you understand politics, you'll know that you could take money from "lucifer" and pledge your allegiance to "Jesus." That's how dirty the game is... I can cite different examples, if you want... The crux of the matter is the manifesto of the new political party and how the stakeholders involved would implement everything on this manifesto... He already spoke about welfarism, free education, free health care etc. and that's enough to give him the benefit of the doubt... How many ACN governors have the same vision apart from the Osun governor? They just stay implementing elitist crap that the average commoner can't afford....

Anyway, what happened to the light rail project in Lagos?

solomon111: Nigerians already manufactures space satellites.
Nigeria also have one of the best space centres in Africa,yet some idiotts are doubting these news because of bigotry and chronic pessimism.
Decades of bad governance has really done a number on most of us.

shymexx: Anyway, welfarism is quintessentially part of Yoruba culture, tradition, and spirituality... and if UPN can bring that back to Yorubaland, they should go for it... We need leaders with astute Yoruba-ness and those who actually understand what it means to be Yoruba and the Yoruba consciousness of being your brother's keeper... Only the state of Oshun is doing that, at the moment - we need more people like that... However, a party with a manifesto based on the virtues of Yoruba people and welfarism won't be a bad idea...

ACN and the way they're running the darn place collectively isn't just it!

UPN it's for now...

Jah bless!!!

Nigeria’s Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta said it will start a bombing campaign against mosques and Islamic institutions, a week after the rebel group said it killed 15 security personnel in the southern oil-producing Bayelsa state.
“The bombings of mosques, haj camps, Islamic institutions, large congregations in Islamic events and assassinations of clerics that propagate doctrines of hate will form the core mission of this crusade,” MEND spokesman Jomo Gbomo said in an e-mailed statement today. The campaign, codenamed “Barbarossa,” will start May 31, it said.
MEND may consider a cease-fire if the Christian Association of Nigeria, the Catholic Church and the group’s suspected leader Henry Okah intervene, according to the statement. The threat comes as the government of President Goodluck Jonathan battles Islamist militants in the mainly Muslim north and the capital, Abuja, in which hundreds of people have died since 2009.
MEND, the main rebel group in the the area, destroyed a Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA) oil well in Nembe in southern Bayelsa state yesterday as part of an operation it calls “Hurricane Exodus,” Gbomo said.
Precious Okolobo, a Lagos-based spokesman for Shell’s Nigerian unit, said he couldn’t confirm the attack when contacted by phone today.
Claimed Attack
MEND said April 3 it would resume attacks in Africa’s largest oil producer after Okah was sentenced last month to 24 years in prison in South Africa. He was found guilty of 13 counts of terrorism, including a bombing claimed by MEND in which 12 people died in Abuja on Oct. 1, 2010.
On April 10, Nigerian authorities recovered 10 bodies of policemen killed four days earlier in an attack on a boat by gunmen in the oil-rich Niger River delta, Bayelsa state Police Commissioner Kingsley Omire said.
Three policemen and the boat driver jumped in the river in the southern state when gunmen opened fire and were later rescued, Omire said. The attack was claimed by MEND, which said it killed all 15 people aboard.
Shell, Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), Chevron Corp. (CVX), Total SA and Eni SpA (ENI) run joint ventures with state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. that pump most of the country’s oil. Nigeria depends on crude exports for more than 95 percent of foreign income and 80 percent of government revenue, according to the Petroleum Ministry.
While Okah denies being a leader of MEND, he has said he commands the support of many armed factions in Nigeria’s oil region.
Attacks including kidnappings and bombing of oil installations by groups including MEND cut more than 28 percent of Nigeria’s oil output between 2006 and 2009, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The violence declined after thousands of fighters accepted a government amnesty offer in 2009 and disarmed.

Goddex: But between Faseun and the Billionaire Tinubu, who is deserving of followership?

Neo-XVI:
No one is saying the SW isn't better off than it would have been under PDP. But that's only because we have very low expectations from our leaders. They certainly could have done a whole lot more.

So you guys should stop howling and crying. I doubt the man even has enough money to make the party viable sef. Tinubu and ACN have long excluded him from the largesse so he's looking for a way to hammer too

Vado: I feel fasheun on this one. I mean shoutout to the likes of fashola, rochas, oshiomole, amosun, they are all reppin the party well but Lai Mohammed is a piece of shit with mouth diarrhoea. This is the same fella that contested on AD's platform for Kwara state Governorship in '03 and lost. He has since abandoned the state, no social-economic contribution whatsover than just sitting in lagos making noise up and down. People don't even know he's from kwara sef. Being an opposition doesn't mean yarning dust at every slight opportunitiy most especially when you can't get your facts straight.
Lai is a thirsty man. He should sit his a$$ down and have a chilled glass of water.

adegeorge: The National Space Research and Development Agency, NASRDA, yesterday, said it will produce the first Nigerian astronaut in 2015. Director General of the agency, Dr. Seidu Mohammed who disclosed this
at the 2013 national space dialogue and media conference, said the plan was part of the agency's 25 years roadmap for space and technology development in Nigeria.

gunuvi: Some of you amaze me with your one sided arguments. Did I say anything about corruption? I only said I was pained that we lost the speakership. Mention one politician in Nigeria that is clean. Mention just one! Also, tell me what has tambuwal done for us south west. You people always blame others without looking at yourselves in the mirror. Are your ACN not corrupt too??

gunuvi: Ok, so what will you say about your Tinubus romance with Buhari, Tambuwal etc? If he romance Ijaw, is there a problem with that?

gunuvi: Fasheun has bared it all. It is true that ACN used their own selfish interest to sell out many Yorubas. The speakership of Mulikat that we lost still pains me till now, all because of ACN selfish interest.

eggheaders: in your bigoted mind.faseun is just been used by gej.he will soon be dumped.concern your self with the imbrigo in apga .who be the chairman self na umeh abi the new guy??a party of charlatans.

Dede1: I am the authority on my facts. There is no need to copy and paste junks from obscure sources. One of your fellow disciples of Nowa Omoigui who goes by handle –Koruji cited Awolowo’s rant that included 35,000 soldiers of northern region origins that had occupied western region in 1966.

Eko Ile: Funny enough, the rotten Abuja stadium is the eagles home stadium, but the eagles can not use this stadium or welcome any foreign football team for any game or friendly at this stadium. Right now, they borrow borrow stadiums to practice all over the country.

This is the same eagles they are showering millions and gifts on all over the place while they care less about their home field.


Just imagine... The African football champs don't have a functioning home stadium...


only in Nigeria.. smh...

Tony Spike: The US needs to test their newly produced arms, hence, they need to provoke another war somewhere, somehow. It's all about the doctrine of premptive action, the same clause used to attack Iraq and Afghanistan.

Unfortunately, this is another set of diplomatic bluffing. Any country that declares either A-bomb or H-bomb attack is openly trying to start the chain of reactions. This will inevitably lead to WW3.
