Why is it difficult to show these wonderful igbo technological inventions that is greater than that of the US in this age of the internet? Are you guys hiding these technological inventions from the world?

Like I said, take a trip to Umuahia, no one is going to do your job for you.

dokyOloye:
Tsav is a shameless,unrepentant fulani arse licker.
I don't believe he said this.

Shameless and unrepentant Fulani ass licker because he spoke the truth? Isn't rapture about to take place?

I may have issues with Tsav on some national issues, but on this one, he's spot on. Listen, it doesn't matter if you're Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba, the truth is that Nigeria lost the opportunity to leverage on the gaint strikes of Biafra after the war. If those ammunitions (even as crude as they were then) had been developed, we won't still be relying on South Africa for ammunitions to face Boko Haram.

Sometimes, we need to tell ourselves the truth hoping that we may learn from our mistakes.

wirinet:

Where are these ammunition? Let's see the technology you guys have been boasting about that would have been better than than the US.

Take a trip to the National War Musuem at Umuahia and the Ojukwu Bunker, you will see them. It won't cost you much from Ogbomosho brother.

The elegance and brilliance of this 'star boy' should be rubbing off on Nigerians but unfortunately his civility begins and ends at the As Rock Villa.
Human life has lost its value under the govt the star boy serves and he carries as if unaware of the hundreds of lives lost daily to the cluelessness and ineptitude of the govt.

I don't hate Prof Osibanjo (God forbid I do), I like him as a person but tomorrow he will be remembered as the vice president to the most clueless and inept president ever produced by Nigeria. That to me isn't a complimentary legacy.

Private visit indeed.

chukel:
When i read the comments of those who actually argue for atiku, I feel pity for this country cos they are many. It shows how stupid, ignorant and dumb vast majority of Nigerians are

Atiku has his case in court, stop rambling and wait for the court to decide.
It's even more worrisome that some people think the runaway dullard won the election.

TempleHouse:
How much was generated in the year ?
How many operation conducted ?
How are the foundation being run ?
Fake photo shooting to deceive gullible Public
All the observation and accusation by Charity Watchdog that the Charity Funds is being used for Personal Needs are yet to be addressed.
It's a damn Scam Job. Period !

You and the Charity Watchdog should produce evidence Kanu is using the Foundation fund for his personal needs.
Tell us how much was generated in the year and prove it hasn't been judiciously used. The onus is on you now.

Chimaokigwe:
Atiku should go to WAEC office at Yaba and ask his stupid questions there.

Stupid Camerounian pickpocket. Does he think someone without certificate would attend Sandhurst?

I swear, Atiku is being advised by his enemies.

What disgraceful comment. I'm sure you don't have a certificate for if you don't you wouldn't have posted this shameful and disgraceful comment.
It's not Atiku's duty to produce Buhari's result and he has no business with your WAEC, if Buhari has a certificate, he should present it and save us all all this stress.

Again, what's Sandhurst? A military training school which anyone can attend if recommended by the military authority of your country. Do you need a certificate to qualify? Hell no.

In a sane society, Buhari won't be anywhere near State House. He lacks integrity.

advocate666:
Op, will you change that title. The man has no nigerian passport but has Igbo DNA.

A nigerian didn't win. An Igbo Canadian won.

Kelechi Madu is a Nigerian through and through. He only left Nigeria in 2005, had his primary and secondary school education in his little village of Okrika-Nweke in Ahiazu-Mbaise LGA of Imo State.
Studied at University of Lagos where he obtained a degree in Law.

And how many people can the salaries of the president, his vice and ministers pay?

Ray97:
not only kano. The north in general. If only pdp presented a credible candidate in the presidential election, they would have won.

What makes the PDP candidate not credible?

netpro:
It is no news that the entire plan of Atiku for Nigeria and our economy has now boil down to Selling 90% of NNPC and other National Assets like the Railway, Port Authority, etc to Private Operators and Investors.

I find it very surprising that many are not weighing the impact and implications of handing over 70% Nigeria's revenue sources to Atiku's Friends and Partners.

Here are some of the Implications and fallout of Atiku Plan:
1. Revenue and Monthly Allocations to the 36 States and FCT will now depend largely on what Atiku and his partners remit to Government.
2. 13% to Oil Producing States will vanish as the new Oil producers will now be Atiku's selected Investors.
3. States and National Budget will depend on our 10% stake in NNPC, what the new Owners remit and funds generated from other revenue sources.
4. Automatically, Atiku and his Friends will be richer than Nigeria as they will own 70% revenue source of Nigeria.
5. Federal Government infrastructural development and welfare programmes will now be at the mercy of Atiku and Friends.

I strongly believe what we need in establishments like the NNPC, NPA, Customs, FIRS, etc is to block waste, ensure efficiency, engage qualified personnel to run them, continue the Single Treasury Account implementation and use the funds judiciously for critical project development - Rather than hand it over to Atiku and his Friends Plc.

NOTE: Atiku is not proposing allowing other players in the sector like was done in the Telecomm. Rather he want to sell 90% of the NNPC and Government will only retain a 10%. Also NNPC is not only about Refineries.

NETPRO

Cheap blackmail.
Doesn't our revenue and monthly allocation today depend on what Buhari and Maikanti Baru remit to the FAAC?
Has there ever being a month the state govts don't complain about NNPC and her shady deals?
Do you know how much Buhari and Baru make every month from NNPC and their fraudulent 'under recovery?' The corruption Buhari and Baru are superintending at NNPC will blow your mind off when it's finally revealed.

Viergeachar:


But he sacked Lawal Daura

He sacked Daura and replaced him with Matthew Seiyefa, tell me where Seiyafa is now.

Zeemam:
When they say Buhari doesn't like Igbos, show them this list of 20 Igbo men and women appointed by President Buhari to high profile positions in the Federal Government Agencies and Parastatals:

1. Ms Marilyn Amobi – MD, Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc (NBET)
2. Engr Chidi K. C Izuwa – DG, Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC).

4. Amb Chiedu Osakwe – Chief Trade Negotiator / DG, Nigerian Office of Trade Negotiations (NOTN)
5. Mr Osita Okechukwu – DG, Voice of Nigeria (VON)
6. Mr Henry Ikem-Obih – COO, Downstream, NNPC
7. Mr Chidi Momah – Secretary to the Corporation (NNPC)
8. Mr Jasper Azuatalam – ED, Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF)
9. Mr Uche Orji MD/CEO, Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA); Reappointed for second term by President Buhari

19. Melville Ebo – ED, Finance and Corporate Services, Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN)
20. Prof Charles B.U Uwakwe – Registrar, CEO, National Examinations Council (NECO)

And these are enough to justify his 'love' for the Igbo isn't it?
How about Chiefa of Defence, Army, Air and Naval staff?
How about Minister of Defence, Interior and IG of Police?
How about CGs of Customs, Immigration, Prisons?
What about Corps Marshall NSCDC?
What about the NDLEA job and others?

Aren't Igbo qualified and competent to hold such offices?

Before you all start shouting wicked and callous govt remember that the appointment in the first place was political. The man was appointed for political reasons and can also be fired for political reasons.
Sometime last year, Lai Mohammed said they (FG) are going to sack all close confidants of Saraki in FGs appointments.
Prof Bichi Baffa was sacked as TETFund Executive Secretary because of his opposition to Ganduje in Kano and replaced by a loyal person.

I don't in any way support nor condemn the sack because it's political to start with. The sack can sack a political appointee for they are his to hire and fire. Same right he doesn't have over other civil servants.

The man should have been a bit more circumspect. A kiss in the ass is what many people don't condone.

SocialFinance:


Before you shout Buhari and APC;


PDP CREATED POVERTY.....

This analysis below is important to common man.... who are majority Voters in this 2019 elections.....

1. They said when Buhari took over from them a bag of rice was N11,500 but they took over when it was N2,500

2. They said when Buhari took over from them ltr of petrol was N87 but they took over when it was N11.

3. They said when Buhari took over from them $1 was N235 but they took over when it was N20.

4. They said when Buhari took over from them a bag of cement was N2,000 but they took over when it was N400.

Really?
Is that how you see it?
1. When PDP took over in 1999 a bag of rice sold at #2500 but left it at #7500 in 2015. That a period of 16 years but in just 3 years Buhari has taken it to #22500. With PDP there was a #5000/increment in 16 years but with APC there's a #15000 increment in just 3 years.
Tell me who's more rascal and clueless.
At this rate a bag of rice will sell for #100000 should APC spend the next 16 years in power.

Do the same for the other items you listed and see how bleak the situation is.

Bighead9:
This lie, lie man dey always target illiterate market men and women to show case his lying skills.

If you to take a census of that Ariaria market, you will discover that many of the shop owners and business operators have some form of higher education. It's not like markets in the South West and North populated by stark illiterates without even basic education.

I have never read an article most fitting of the true Buhari, an article that aptly captures the mess Buhari is than this.
In his pretentious self righteousness, he has driven himself to a height he's most undeserving of, allowed his supporters to elevate him to a status he doesn't merit.
How can a mere mortal claim and pretend to be perfect and without reproach? It's the highest height of intellectual foolishness and deceit to brand yourself a messiah when you know you don't have the 'resources' to effect a change.

If Nigeria is a land of honest and objective people, Buhari won't get up to 10% of the total votes cast.

Sunmolar:



declared by who. pls your references should be highlighted.

Google World Poverty Clock and you will see who declared Nigeria poverty capital of the world.

While Ghana has overtaking Nigeria as the choice destination for FDI, these ones are erecting the world tallest broom. What a shame.

E don happen!
One of their star boys banned from entering the US?
Let's see the moral standing he has to stand before Atiku and Nigerians and talk about corruption.

This is about three times the crowd that attended the PDP rally in 2015. Taraba is fully articulated.

While I do not wish your father dead I must also say that his life isn't more important than those that have died in Benue, Taraba, Adamawa, Zamfara, Plateau, Enugu etc to the neglect and wickedness of the govt your father serves as the no 2 man. They are people's fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts, children you know and didn't deserve to die.

You should be more concerned with those who have denied your father the use of choppers in the presidential fleet which he is entitled to use than the rest of us who have no control over his life.

Nobody wishes your father dead dear Kiki but they just want him to be more responsible, be more responsible to the plight of the common man who looks up to him.

Why the fight? I thought the APC said that the Igbo is insignificant and inconsequential to Buhari's plan?
Thought they said the 11m million registered voters in the South East is too small to make Buhari win or lose.
7 million Igbo in the north knows who guarantees a better future for them and won't be distracted.

disturbedman:
The fact is there’s nothing Buhari can do about Ganduje who has immunity. And he cannot afford to be at loggerheads with the governor of the most populous state during this election.

My take is that Gandollar will have his days in court after expiration of his immunity. That’s exactly what happened in the case of Fayose who could not be touched until after he left office.

While he has immunity from prosecution, he doesn't have immunity from investigation. You're right to the extent that Fayose was not prosecuted until he left office but he was investigated.
Remember the EFCC placing him under security watch while he was still governor, remember the several comments by the EFCC against him while he was still governor.

The thief you cannot say what he stole, isn't that stupidity on your part APC?

chloride6:
"it won’t be the first time I will lose election,”.

How does this not qualify as a concrete answer?

It doesn't qualify as a concrete answer because those times he lost election he wasn't in power. Now he is in power and has the power to 'retain power' by all means. Then he wasn't in control of any agency but today he controls all and can use them at will.

That's why that answer he gave isn't reasonable at all. Jonathan gave a straightforward and clear answer to same question which he kept to. Can buhari be that straightforward too?

ArmedRobber:
the question should be if the accused is guilty as charged

It's only the court that can determine if he's guilty as charged and not Buhari and until he's convicted he remains the CJN.
Nowhere in the constitution is it stated that if he's accused and charged, the CJN must resign.

Chasing bad luck away? Please remind me what Yayha Bello is.

Photo- Amina Zakari

The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has urged politicians and parties to focus more on how to realise their electoral goals in 2019 rather than paying attention to unnecessary issues.

The Lagos State Chairman of IPAC, Mallam Shakirudeen Olofin, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Friday.

Olofin was reacting to Thursday’s appointment of Mrs Amina Zakari by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as its Head of Collation Centre for the 2019 elections and to the criticisms it generated in some quarters.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has faulted Zakari’s appointment, saying it was a step by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to subvert the will of the people in 2019.

In a statement issued by the PDP spokesman, Mr Kola Ologbodiyan, on Thursday, the party alleged that Zakari was a blood relation of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Zakari’s new role, the party alleged, was to protect the president’s interests in 2019.

Olofin, however, said that the criticisms that had trailed Zakari’s appointment were unneccessary and mere distractions.

He said politicians and parties should rather spend time perfecting their strategies on winning the general elections rather than being pre-occupied by issues that should not concern them.

“We think the criticisms and controversies that have trailed the appointment of Zakari are unnecessary because it is not within the powers of political parties to appoint people for INEC.

“In a football match, the teams do not decide or bother about who the referee is. It is never done. Rather, they focus on how to win the match.

“The parties should be more focused and leave all these distractions. They should be on the drawing board planning for victory.They should leave INEC and Zakari to do their jobs,” he said.

Furthermore, Olofin said it was unfair to claim Zakari got the appointment because she was the president’s blood relation.

He pointed out that the she had always been in INEC where she even acted as the Chairman of the commission after the exit of Prof. Attahiru Jega.

Olofin added that IPAC believed Zakari’s appointment was not an aberration as she had also headed the commission’s ICT Department, which, he said, was related to her new responsibility.

The IPAC chairman urged political stakeholders to co-operate with INEC to deliver credible elections and refrain from acts that could create tension ahead of the polls.

Olofin also advised all eligible voters to actively participate in the electoral process to ensure the emergence of leaders of their choice.

And that's why FIFA, UEFA, CAF, NFF etc do not appoint any official with a known link to a club to officiate a game the club is involved in.

This crap would make a good script for Enugunwood

I wasn't expecting you to say otherwise. But like someone said, in the fullness of time, we shall know the truth. 2019 or 2023 isn't far away.

Did I see Onitsha-Owerri road? How many times will that road be constructed? A road that was done by Obasanjo is still listed as Buhari's project. I tire ooo

When did Ogoni became a city in the South East? And when did the clean up start?

Okigwe-Afikpo road is a project that was done by Jonathan just like he did the Ogoja-Abakiliki and Abakiliki-Enugu roads.

Even the construction of the Enugu-PH road started under Jonathan and several portion of the road had been completed as far back as 2012.

It's unfortunate he listed the PH-Owerri road again. The truth is that before Jan 2015 the Rivers end of the road had been completed while the Imo end stopped at Umuagwo in Ohaji LGA. We know the money for that road was part of the 2015 budget but surprisingly, that portion between Umuagwo and Omerelu in Rivers remain uncompleted till today. At least I was on the road on the 26th. So Frank Eze should not tell me nonsense.
