yoruba ma when ll you start thinking of otedola's fraud tinubu the highest land owner in west africa fashola two sets of borehole worth millions of naira oh! No don't talk about them they are saints but any other person from other region,bring him let kill mtcheew I just sometimes don't wanna share country with you guys

Yoruba? Guess again nwanee! Did I condne any of those crimes? NO! Stop deflecting. I don't want Mazi Kanu killed. Where did say he should be killed? Please no more assumptions.

It doesn't work like that. If this were the US he'd be buried under the jail. They would have hit him with a RICO charge off his World Igbo Congress speech alone. I'm all for peace but seriously why are we acting like he didn't commit a crime?

I thought it was forward ever. Why are we going backwards?

Nice development.

That is what happens when European boundaries and intervention continue to be upheld and celebrated till date. The land known as The N.igger Area, or the Area around the Nigg.er River or dark area or what have you, the people still answer that name proudly and you wonder why there can never be steady light

Your etymology is incorrect.

Never forget WILLIE IS WORKING!

Are u aware s off to Egypt today ? Tomorrow he will be in Jamaica .. Last week he was in france and UK. Baba should chill for a while and address the issue of the budget. All this junketing all around the globe is not the solution. $1 is now #400 pounds 505

Judging by your excellent writing skills and grammar I can almost rest assured you're no fool. As such I can presume you are well aware of the fact that one man doesn't run the government.

Moreover it's been stated Osinbajo is in charge of the economy. Buhari is repairing the country's image at present so as to allow the facilitation of foreign investment.

The economic downturn isn't only a Nigerian phenomenon but rather worldwide. Look at Japan and China both are in a quagmire and I doubt anyone would dare compare our monoeconomy at present to what they are achieving.

I liken our present predicament to lifting weights. First you get exhausted. Then you get sore. But then then you look gooooood. To quote 7time Mr Olympia Robnie Coleman,"Everyone wants to get big but don't nobody wanna lift these heavy ass weights."

Right now we are getting exhausted and soon we'll be sore. But before you know it we'll look goooooood. Life is downright unbearable somedays but we've gone too far. We must win. This isn't about PDP, APC, MTV, FIFA or anyone else this is about us surviving and thriving.

Ngige has to deliver on employment so these people can go to work instead of wasting their lives on Twitter.

This is an apt illustration of problems at hand.

just a suggestion..u have the ans bro

Nah fam I'm cool on that but thanks for asking.

rummmy:
you need formatting I am sure.

Why the insults amigo?

The pastor is wearing an Audemars watch Ha! Keep tithing!

If no one else will say it I will. This is a terrible waste of time. A bunch of young men and women arguing over the sins of people who have long since passed or will shake hands today. This isn't fixing any of our present problems.

But continue on as you were.

Who are the "we" that are about to get a mere bridge?

We would be the SE. Mere bridge? If you say so. I know what kind of gains we will achieve with that mere bridge. Everything in life isn't a fight. Save your energy for your real enemies.

Don't look at the monetary breakdown. Look at the number of capital projects. SE got the most. The allocation monetarily can't be equal to other regions due to a smaller land mass. We're about to get the 2nd Niger bridge.

We neeeeed this and then a reduction for a rebound in the price.

Overswag!

Port Harcourt — Impementation of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Report on Ogoniland is buckling under the weight of political manoeuvrings.

High financial stakes in the clean up might explain the intrigue that characterised the last election of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) and its face-off with other interest groups in the area.

The Minister of Environment, Mrs. Amina Ibrahim, had recently blamed lingering internal issues among the Ogoni elite for seeming procrastination in actualising directive by President Muhammadu Buhari for fast tracking the exercise.

A United Nations special rapporteur who visited Nigeria in 1999, four years after the extrajudicial murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa and his Ogoni kinsmen by the General Sani Abacha junta, had recommended an environmental audit of Ogoni.

In compliance with the recommendation, the Federal Government evoked the polluter pay principle, which compelled Shell to fund a $9.5m detailed study of the Ogoni environment, which outcome is today popularly referred to as the UNEP Report on Ogoniland.

UNEP said its key findings revealed that in at least 10 communities, drinking water was contaminated with high levels of hydrocarbons. One community at Nisisioken Ogale had been drinking water from wells contaminated with benzene, a known carcinogen, at levels over 900 times above World Health Organisation guidelines.

Last December, two factional presidents of MOSOP: Mr. Legborsi Saro Pyagbara and Mr. Mike Lube-Nwidobie emerged.

The factions subsequently submitted to the Federal Government different lists of nominees for appointment into a board that should oversee implementation of the Report. This resulted in confusion and impeded government's determination to pull through the exercise.

Former MOSOP Public Relations Officer, Legborsi Esaen, who was suspended by the Pyagbara faction, prior to the crisis rocking the organisation, was selected as chairman of a parallel electoral committee.

Esaen stated that Nwidobie had distributed copies of a petition against the entire electoral process. According to him, this stalled the election, as even security operatives present advised ‎that the exercise be called off.

"This led to an emergency congress (as a doctrine of necessity) where the Prince Biira-led electoral committee was dissolved. Four others and I were mandated to ‎conduct fresh elections 10am the following day, December 31, 2015, to forestall a leadership vacuum.

"I had initially turned down‎ this offer to chair the committee, since I no longer wanted to be identified with Mr. Pyagbara's MOSOP. This is not the first time this doctrine will be applied, like in the setting up of a caretaker committee (which the MOSOP constitution does not have provision for). The election held. Chief Mike Nwidobie emerged winner,‎ having scored 821 votes over Mr. Legborsi Pyagbara who had 186," said Esaen.

But according to Fegalo Nsuke, publicity secretary of the Pyagbara faction, the crisis threatening the clean up is politically instigated and aims at short-changing the Ogoni people by grabbing funds earmarked for the project.

There are abundant facts to show that the cause of the problem was the $1bn takeoff grant for the planned exercise, which is being eyed by masterminds of the controversies bedeviling MOSOP, Nsuke alleged.

The Pyagbara faction has been accused of aligning with the governing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state. An example often cited was that during the 2016 Ogoni Day celebration, politicians who attended the event were mainly PDP members in elective positions in the state. Ogoni political leaders with affinity to the All Progressives Congress (APC), therefore, moved to thwart Pyagbara's hold on MOSOP, feeling he could not be romancing with PDP elements, when an APC government at the centre is embarking on the much anticipated clean up.

Worried by the ugly development, some past leaders and activists of the Movement, leaders of thought and elders from Ogoni met, recently, to resolve the crisis and reposition the body.

At the end of the meeting, a resolution committee was set up comprising Ledum Mitee, Professor Don Baridam, Dr. Meshach Karanwi, Rev. Dr. Abraham Olungwe, Lenusikpugi Kpagih, Chief Monday Abueh and Ms Rose Nwigani.

The meeting appealed to all sides to cooperate with the committee and refrain from actions or statements capable of undermining the peace initiative.

During the January 4, 2016 Ogoni Day celebration, Pyagbara had commended the President Buhari-led Federal Government for the renewed interest in the Report. He, however, stressed: "The ongoing delay on the part of the government will continue to be seen as an act of genocide against the Ogoni people."

Contribute you tithes to your communities and use the money to build it up.

That is what community based development can do for you.

All is not well in Naija. I've never been for this agitation and I've openly stated my contempt for Kanu but this is no way to treat human beings. Unless the present government comes out to condemn these abuses of power their silence makes them culpable.

This is unfortunate to say the least. RIP to the dearly departed. Ndo to those whose loved ones transitioned.

Buhari needs to get his men in order. I've seen what people are capable of when backed into a corner please don't push them. Let peace and black love prevail.

Did you see his shoes? I know y'all see the shoes!! TOO SHARP!
