predictable...so many young people too..that's whats sad about this

diegwu01:
We all have lived fake lives during our times of Plenty, Nigeria is returning to its Default mode. this is the Change we've craved for.
We sympathize with Jumia,
Nigerians have decided to look inwards and patronize our own "made in Nigeria" products, this would be the best way to grow our economy,
Nigerians have decided to become Producers and manufacturer themselves rather than Consumers, The era of our lust for imported good is over, jumia exploited this opportunity and made insane profits in their early years, they could restructure like Konga has done and encourage marketing of local products and promote young and upcoming Nigerian entrepreneurs and products and their profits would stream in in no distant time

correction @ Bolded ; JUMIA has never made a profit since inception in Nigeria, plus the article reflects a Pan African report of the parent company's financial position

the twitter op and the fellow who posted the topic here are known trolls, there's absolutely no truth to the BS posted... i doubt the unfortunate woman whose picture has been used to peddle a lie is aware.

Cool

Misleading title

Adadio:
This is politics at very high wire levels. Why did Bulgari donate $10 million to the Clinton campaign? You think Obama is a fool not to order the FBI not to arrest her. Fellow countrymen think.

dense negros pulling dung out the anus again ...with the size of the load coming out your behind,you will likely rupture your sphincter.

he should wear a hard hat and ditch the agbada when inspecting sites like this. hes a smart man, i expect better haba baba.

StOla:
The leaders of the Biafrans have always been known for making mistakes.

From Ojukwu who realised life is important after sacrificing 20million Igbo souls, and ran with his own 1 life to Abidjan, enjoying the comfort and company of different women while there. Then we had Uwazurike of MASSOB, who after numerous arrests decided he was too old not to enjoy the little life he has left. Then we had the Director of propaganda, that one they call Kanu, who thought because he had watched all the seasons of Spartacus, he can also lead an insurrection of trader gladiators.

Finally, Fayose the one who they love because they have a mutual enemy in the President. Who campaigned vigorously to install a fish bone in the throat of the gluttonous PDP.

Now the bone is stuck. The only way out is to behead the party to remove a stubborn bone that was on its own way to the dustbin of politics, but the greedy wouldn't let a fish bone be.

effin hilarious

wow, i wonder how far up the rectum this one had to dig to pull this load....

if the report is true then the DSP has really taken a disgraceful action... a case that is already before the courts?... shameful indeed.

Lere ... is that you?

An exercise in futility.

omenka:
Baba looks slightly emaciated.

Whatever ails you sir, receive God's grace and healing in Jesus name- amen.

It is well with you sir.

PMB has always been of slender build, plus he is fasting, at his age and the responsibilities of governance this is not surprising.he is evidently not in a coma or bedridden or dying of cancer as a number of ill wishers have speculated...lets continue to support him and Nigeria.

Mr President is due back later today or tomorrow,he has been observing the Ramadan fast just like millions of Muslims around the world, he is in good health and high spirits...leave speculations.

yet another piece of fabricated garbage from yet another click-baiting zero principled hungry blogger.... one of several false reports on the politics thread of Nairaland lately ...moderators have to seriously step up their game, or allow for all new thread submissions to be vetted for accuracy first before allowed on the forum... Nairaland will inevitably become a dumping ground for false reports ...its disgusting

Omooba77:
I belive you went to school and you can read and write. PMB himself said a fight against Boko haram was against the North. The CDS in question is a muslim and knows more than you do. Please stop reasoning politically and do as functional homo sapien

please can you provide a credible link to the bolded?...this is an oft repeated assertion but never backed by any credible evidence..so please kindly oblige us a link.,thank you

90 bodies, given a "mass burial" in a Nigerian military barracks that also houses thousands of everyday civilians,traders, students,corpers and nobody else has come forward to corroborate? ...I call shenanigans

8 pages in and no robust riposte to the poser....shame

texazzpete:
you must be joking.

This whole act is geared towards crippling those institutions (or at least ensuring that the Senators and Reps escape any censure by the CCB.

I hope Buhari vetoes this

he most certainly will, the idea is to remove executive oversight of the CCB and pass it to NASS control, this is where they goofed, had they suggested the NJC for instance it would have appeared more altruistic , as the judiciary can and should exercise censory oversight in this case.

TBankxx:
GEJ will never do that. This old man is not behaving like a father.. too sentimental, full of pride & arrogance for my liking.

When u ruling a big nation like Nigeria u learn tolerance or else u're dividing the country already.

Some mofos will still support Buhari on this. absolutely rubbish!!

nothing new here... BMB should learn to respect himself, you cannot make a hobby out of running me down on social media then expect me to shake your hand in public like its all good, thats deceptive and PMB as we know is not a man given to deception as a way of life..The President refused your greeting and you comme crying to us? like WTF are we supposed to do about it?

The Headline is misleading... the post doesn't contain any reference to the amount he may or may not have posted for bail

"our son"

ganisucks:
Define FORCE MAJORE. So Exxon will tell Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ that they are running away. Keep on giving yourself hope.

Force Majeure
[French, A superior or irresistible power.] An event that is a result of the elements of nature, as opposed to one caused by human behavior.
The term force majeure relates to the law of insurance and is frequently used in construction contracts to protect the parties in the event that a segment of the contract cannot be performed due to causes that are outside the control of the parties, such as natural disasters, that could not be evaded through the exercise of due care.

now that i've schooled your dumb ass ..can you point out the part of the definition that equates to fleeing or shutting down of operations?

Declaring a force majore does not equate to closing operations and " fleeing" as the op so fraudulently tagged the title..nowhere in the piece provided is that ever indicated... Read before you comment

Cuteamigo1:
I watched the video and apart from him not denying what is obvious he was also very sarcastic about his answers.

you (unlike a number of others here) have seen the attached video and made the right call...kudos to you. i wonder why people do not, cannot or will not read or in this case "watch" before they post garbage

the headline is misleading..,there's no "withdrawal" or apology anywhere in the quoted statement

it is abundantly clear a lot of you do not or cannot or will not read...the man has indicated that investors and not the govt will be responsible for building the proposed refineries and these locations were selected specifically for asset and resource sharing considerations ... read first,comment after... you fackin imbeciles.

The Title of the post makes no sense @OP

[quote author=Proudlyngwa post=45367430]For some time, I decided not to write anything on Nairaland political section, because either the first ten posts is buhari is a dullard or after the first ten sensible posts, it becomes insults and tribal bashing, the days of analytical reasoning on Nairaland seems to be coming to an end.

On Thursday the fifth of March, Vanguard Nigeria reported that an oil platform belonging to chevron Nigeria was blown up by the Niger Delta Avengers, they promised taking the fight to gbamaturu kingdom, if he didn’t apologize via national dailies, as well as cripple Abuja and Lagos.
Did they stop to THINK:I doubt if the thought their actions through, except they had inside collabo with the Chevron workers, who shut down well heads before their operations, did they think of the immediate environmental effect it will have on their communities, that is if that is their community. Do this people know the byproducts of crude, do they know how the underground water system works?

Their DEMANDS might be Met; but it will take longer for their attack on Nature to wear off, that action was wrong and is highly condemnable.
THE EFFECT ON THE ECONOMY: According to a report, 1.5 billion naira will be lost daily. Will it stop the salaries of the President, Ministers, Governors or Senators?. Primary school teachers in Delta state are allegedly being owed 4 months, why do we always make the mistake that hitting public infrastructure always affects top government officials, it only attracts lip service.

THE MISTAKE OF THE FIRST AMNESTY PROGRAMME: America and Israel have a reason why they don’t negotiate with Terrorist. It never brings positive endings. Giving the militants monetary incentives was the worst mistake by the Nigerian government. WHAT ENCOURAGEMENT ARE YOU GIVING A GRADUATE OF THE SAME STATE WHO CHOSE PEN OVER GUN AND ITS STILL JOBLESS, WHEN A YOUTH LOOKS AT MILITANCY AND EDUCATION WHICH BECOMES MORE ATTRACTIVE? Establishment and empowerment should have been the norm.

THE STUPIDITY OF MULTINATIONAL OIL COMPANIES
My conspiracy Theory: An Igbo adage says, it is the rat in the house that shows the rat from outside the way. Whenever there is vandalization on oil installations, repair contracts are won by the indigeenes, who subcontract the jobs to bigger companies who have these oil workers and some politicians as stakeholders. Tenders are raised and different departments prepare budgets expecting kickbacks, the money goes around………
What stops these companies from taking preventive measures instead of reactive measures? Are we being told that in this period of unrestiveness , such an important platform was left unguarded.
Is the Chevron management telling us, they can’t afford long range night vision cameras with gprs capabilities? Are the oil companies letting us know they can’t employ bunker tactics to protect their installations? Abeg make we hear word. A big shame to CHEVRON TOTAL AGIP MOBIL AND SHELL.

BACKWARD AND INEFFICIENT POLICE: I don’t need to say much , other than Nigeria needs to disband its entire police force and contract policing to either Ghana or anybody else, they are just useless, lack digital footprint, moral bankrupt, embodiment of cluelessness and laziness, and I hope I added useless.

SO CALLED NIGER DELTA YOUTHS: Some of the Niger delta youths and IPOB members are always happy with this sort of news, my advice; see a psychiatrist. Asari, Tompolo, Ateke are millionaires today, you are busy wearing low waist and playing SCORO (Street cult). Your lands are being destroyed by your kinsmen, oil is losing its value as more nations discover crude. You are hailing them to scare investors away. POSTERITY WILL JUDGE YOU.

Lastly I would rather wish topics does not go beyond two pages and have meaningful contributions , than exceed ten pages and be filled with hate speeches, we need solutions not insults.
THANKS AND GODBLESS
YOURS TRULY PROUDLYNGWA
GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

http://www.nigerdeltaavengers.com/?m=1[/quote]at the bolded..nairaland 06-2011 now appear like the golden years on this forum, access to cheap phones and data ha had a surprisingly negative effect on the quality of intellectual discourse on this forum..when you pay 120k a month for vsat connection you tend to be a bit more measured in your contributions...sorry for deviating @ OP
