Egbe Oloun tobi jamooo, Allah A'k bar!!!
Truth is scarce, latter the repetant ones will do more havoc then before. It is like when Jesus said, when an evil spirit is driven out, he will check back if there is space to occupy. It will then look for seven more devilish demons. Olorun Eledumare, oro Nigeria dowo yin, ase Edumare!

nairalandankrah:
The Minister of Police Affairs, Mohammed Dangyadi, on Tuesday, said the federal government has began the process of accepting and reintegrating repentant Boko Haram terrorists and bandits who voluntarily surrender to the federal government, back into the society, because they are Nigerians.

Dangyadi, who was a guest on a Channels TV programme, said the Buhari administration was listening to surrendering bandits and is ready to receive and reintegrate them into the society.

It doesn't matter the extent of their crimes “those that surrender would be received and reintegrated into the society.”

“Of course, they have committed atrocities, committed crimes. But, when they surrender they are not to be killed or maimed. They should be allowed to have their say.”

Bishop4real:
Story for the gods. How can an organization whose leader openly boasted of going to behead a sitting president f a sovereign nation be termed peaceful? How can such an organization that openly threaten those opposed to their ideology with deaths be termed peaceful? Abeg, tell us another story

Powersurge:
Fulanis don't have regrets. Ask Hausas.

Moferere:
How do you explain these scenarios:

Beer is an Haram in the North, Hisbah will destroy any beer destroyable but VAT generated from the consumption of beer in the south is not an Haram to them. They even take a large chunk of it.

Lagos and Rivers contributed at least 75% VAT to the federation account in 2020 but got less than 45% from FAAC.

I am enjoying the steps taken by Lagos and Rivers. Let restructuring start from there.
This feeding bottle federalism must end

Moblux:
This sweet me die o. Lazy governors.

Must you ipobs always try so hard to never make sense?

NGpatriot:
Question.

Who is suffering the effects of these insane sit at home and lunatic orders? Hausa Fulani or igbor men, women, children and businesses..?

Mikecold:
Who is in charge of the north Iswap/BokoHaram/Bandits or the governors?

Iswap have constituencies in north

Boko Haram has more than half the territory 2hrs to Abuja

Bandits have take over north west telling them when to farm or not and collecting VAT

Sirjamo:
See these fools, your Commander in Chief wants to visit one of his territories, you're making useless noise, ### it's like you people have death wishes. ###

Even ordinary Joe Igbokwe went to Nnewi and nothing happened.

matm:
If the sacrifice is on the days of his trial,then it sounds reasonable.But sitting at home every Monday won't make the court to fastrack the date of his trial nor set him free.
The October trial is for reading of more charges and adjournment for hearing after his counsel prayed for bail which u know won't be granted considering the nature of his crimes.
Again, even if he is released,he will only continue with biafra struggle as usual which is not bringing d biafra anytime soon.It might not even be in the next decade considering the nature of Nigeria..
It's practically impossible for the fg to say,Biafrans go.
And if u resort to war,the fg through aerial bombardment will leave the south east in ruins.If u are in doubt,just declare biafra now and set up ur govt architecture and see what happens.Why not begin to cry over marginalisation letting the world know how and where.It will draw the attention of fg easily than resorting to killing and destruction of govt structures which ironically are ur properties.
So,stop all blood shedding,use diplomacy and rely on God for his will to be done.
It's only God dt can answer ur prayers.

Emperormartin:
95% of Biafrans aren't complaining of sit at home. They're simply enjoying their Biafran Monday holidays

rosinkkit:
He is not a fool. He is a snake trying to ruin the economy of the south east for God knows what selfish reason.

johnmartus:
They should be arrested.

Machinegun91:
DSS will still arrest them

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

•African cross-border informal trade worth about $93b annually
•VP off to Tanzania today

While the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) offers limitless opportunities for the industrialization of Africa, authorities across the continent must take the right policy actions to actualize them, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

He stated that such actions include the protection of local industries and improving value chains.

Prof. Osinbajo stated this in a message delivered today at a ‘Roundtable on Industrialization in Africa themed “Positioning African Industries for Economic Transformation and Continental Free Trade”, organized by the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) to celebrate its Golden Jubilee.

According to the Vice President, “for certain, the AfCFTA is indispensable if industrial development is to take off in Africa because it offers wider markets and economies of scale which are essential for manufacturing to be competitive.

"We must take policy actions to create an environment in which businesses can thrive. To start with, we must adopt the right type of macroeconomic and industrial policies.

“It is important for African governments to provide a stable macroeconomic environment which avoids and smoothens out volatility in prices, sharp deteriorations in the current account and budget deficits and of course, rapid accumulation in debt burdens.”

Speaking on actions that will boost manufacturing, Prof. Osinbajo said “on the industrial side, policies like tariffs, quotas, subsidies and non-tariff barriers which protect our infant industries so that they can create jobs and enable learning are vital.”

He then added that “well negotiated rules of origin are important in the context of the free trade agreements as they are key to preventing trans-shipment and the deflection of trade. Without them, firms from non-state parties could set up simple labelling operations in one member State with a view to shipping already finished products to another member State without really adding any value.”

Prof. Osinbajo observed that it is important for MAN to involve itself in an advisory capacity to government negotiators "as we go further into the rules of origin negotiations (these rules negotiations have, of course, started), but I think as we go on, we should get more contributions and advise from MAN.”

“Our manufacturers must also strive to become competitive after clearly specified time periods so that they can withstand the ever present danger of stiff competition from imports. In other words, while our manufacturing industries must be nurtured and supported, they cannot remain infants forever,” the VP added.

Emphasizing the point about enhancing industrial competitiveness, Prof. Osinbajo noted that “one of the ways to increase the competitiveness of African industries is to develop and deepen regional value chains wherein production systems starting from conception and design right through to supply of raw materials, processing, transport, storage, marketing and sales take place within our countries and continent.”

Citing examples of Nigeria and South Africa, the VP explained thus: “when we export commodities to the rest of the world, we are also exporting jobs and the positive spillover effects such as learning that come with manufacturing are lost.

"Happily, we are already beginning to see some green shoots emerging in this regard as Nigerian fertiliser blenders obtain phosphates from Morocco for blending with urea produced in our petrochemical plants. Similarly, South African car manufacturers already buy leather for car seats from Botswana. We however need much more of such activities.

He said there are a number of other things that need to be put in place quite quickly "if we are to see the kind of manufacturing activity that we desire. First of all, we need to develop a strong infrastructural base. Extensive, cheap and affordable infrastructure is vital for the success of our economies.

“We must build a network of roads, bridges and rail that will facilitate the movement of goods and people just as we build the electricity plants to power our factories and the broadband networks that lubricate modern business. It would also be essential in the interim to develop sites with dedicated infrastructural and regulatory structures like Special Economic Zones and Shared Facilities for small businesses.”

Prof. Osinbajo added that another major objective of policies aimed at preparing industries for AfCFTA “must be to ease payments across borders and implementation of the protocols on free movement of persons”.

Continuing, the VP said in the pre-recorded message “it is particularly important in this regard to rapidly operationalise the effort by Afreximbank to establish a Pan-African Payments and Settlement Platform. This will go a long way in creating the desired continental payments system and also in facilitating cross-border informal trade which is estimated to be about $93 billion per annum.”

Meanwhile, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN is leaving Abuja today on a short visit to Arusha, Tanzania where he will be received by his Tanzanian counterpart, Dr. Philip Mpango.

While in Arusha, Prof. Osinbajo would visit the African Court of Justice and Human Rights (ACJHR), an African Union agency in Arusha, among other engagements before he returns to Abuja on Monday.

Sunday Igboho will sue the DSS N10billion for chasing him into benin republic prison

proeast:
The earlier Southerners break away, the better for them. The North will never recover again, I mean THEY WILL NEVER EXPERIENCE NORMAL LIFE AGAIN. There is currently hundreds of thousands of bandits currently operating in the North and millions hoping to join them.

There is an organized syndicate that is responsible for the limitless flow of AK47 rifles proliferating across that region, particularly between Libya, Mali, Niger, Chad and Northern Nigeria. Put all these together and add the massive illiteracy and poverty in that godforsaken region, then you will realize that the situation will only continue to deteriorate.

Once the North becomes saturated and awash with the hobbesian state, the competition will become unbearable for them and they will naturally start moving South for better prospects. Even Lagos won't be safe and no one would dare use our highways anymore. No one will dare go outside the cities anymore. Then gradually again, they will start infiltrating our cities. I don't need to be a CIA agent to decipher this, no because any careful observer can easily deduct it. Winter is coming o ye Southerners!

Lastly, don't think that when Buhari leaves aso rock that all these will stop, no it wouldn't because the "cancer" has metastated. The only way we can save ourselves down South is to severe our links with the North. They chose this path and must go it alone.

BiafraInc:
Buhari's son, yusuf wedded his love about a week ago. It is every LIVING father's dream to grace their children's wedding and to give them their father's blessings but buhari was not seen at his son yusuf's wedding. Can anyone tell us the reason why buhari was not seen at his son's wedding?

Most of you don't even know indictment simply means Accusation , allegation , it's not an arrest warrant
