Let me tell u whats about to play with tompolo and d bombings.
The Fg wants to stop amnesty, and maybe from informations they got Tompolo seem to be the richest and smhw d most influential ex militant general plus stubborn in the Niger Delta, they no longer see asari as a threat because of his waterless noise.
How do u stop amnesty without anybody standing up to revolt or challenge u... Simple=
1- take down any potential threats,
2- reduce there influence,
3- cause division amongst them like whats happening now some are for and some are against tompolo,
4- halt the amnesty.
By the time this is done nobody wud be strong enuf to pick up arms or return to the Creek.

I gave you that "like"

1. Obasanjo, rejecting the blueprint for a functional uranium enrichment programme offered by the North Koreans in 2002 in exchange for some Oil.

2. Failure of the 1966 young turks to kill Col. Hassan Katsina...( he eventually turned the whole coup into a tribal affair and heralded the subsequent progroms that culminated in the civil war).

3.Failure if the Ghanaian Military Contigent to evacuate Samuel Doe in the face of Charles Tailors Advance.

4.Failure of Montezuma to declare war on the Spaniards instead of paying the biggest ransom in history.. the Spaniards would have been annihilated by the Aztecs.

5.Hitlers decision to forsake Moscow to attack Leningrad when Moscow was within Artillery range.

6. When Afonja called Alimi to help him rebel against the Alaafin.

7. The Killing of Boko Haram's founder Muhammed Yusuf.

8. The shooting down of President Habyarima's plane in Rwanda

9. Paris not returning Helen to the Greeks

10. Africa not developing a sophisticated System of written History.

Hey NLs,
I grew up in the 90s when things weren't too good because of IBB's SAP and subsequent sanctions on the Abacha regime..times were hard, and It wasn't uncommon to see civil servants doing home businesses to supplement income.
From Kerosene, Ice block, to Provision to Poultry. These small businesses paid some bills, bought us new bags, shoes, Sunday rice etc!
For me...My Mum sold Soft Drinks to complement her income..brahma, fanta, coke, satzenbrau etc

Let's honour Home business
Put up yours!

So after receiving the items at beniniois ports, they intend to smuggle it into nigeria? Or how do they intend to recoup?
Hameed Ali, Over to you!

:oI didn't hear anything about arrest and prosecution of these murderers!
Do the problems he listed justify the genocide fulani herdsmen carry out yearly?
If Buhari tackles this menace with 0.1 the enthusiasm he's putting in this anti-corruption war, there would be relatively successful !
ops I forgot! How can I ask a man to turn against his people? Pardon me...(even though he expects others to turn against their people in this his government)

Smh!

Very Practical Points OP
No Religious Self righteous brouhaha that characterizes NL Sunday Threads.

The commissioner of police in that state us sleeping...the cultists in lagos are becoming too daring for my liking...when did it become S.O.P to raze down residential buildings in turf wars?

Time to draft in the crack squad that pacified calabar and Owerri in 2004

Useless old men

Which kind mumu celebrity is she? It's basically on nairaland that she's a celebrity. If I see her outside,I won't even recognize her. The word celebrity has been so bastardized to the extent that every Tom,Dick and Harry is now a celebrity. My immediate younger sister participated in 3 beauty pageants,came out tops,qualified to represent Nigeria in an international pageant(but ended up not going). She's gone on to bag a B.Sc and a M.Sc in maths and economics from one of Nigeria's leading federal Universities,has worked with a few organizations and has just gotten a job with a federal
govt parastatal.

My baby sister won a pageant,has bagged a B.Sc from a leading Nigerian federal university,and she's currently doing a Pgd at a leading private university in the country.
There are several other ladies who have won pageants and have moved further in life to better their lives

academically and otherwise. Nobody counts them as celebrities cos they aren't.

Someone should advice this lady to get her life off social media and go find something meaningful to do with her life and time before it gets to late. I can't see the celebrity in her;I'm sorry.

Bros no vex abeg, e get any of this ur sisters wey dey single? Whether u fit help me with dia number make I try my luck for their side. I'm a man of Honest means.

Godfullsam:
If I become the president of Nigeria for just one hour the first thing I will do is to scrap the Nigerian police force and replace them with the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps.

The Nigerian police force is a big disgrace.

Bless u bro

Polizia!

UjSizzle:
The stupiidity of this excuse is appalling.
So the police would have accused ALL of you for trying to kidnap a baby obviously in a carton far away from home? Interesting. So why weren't the police called?

See, wickedness is not only when someone accuses another falsely. Wickedness is seeing the helpless and doing nothing.
Nansense!

Yes, the Nigerian police has been known to arrest and detain many "heroes" before!
I am a witness to that!

Has the Nigerian Police ever assured Nigerians of objectivity in investigations?
A big man in the society can do that, but the average man who knows the police can turn on him at any point in time!

coldasice11:
I totally agree with you, we can even look at it this way, the Nigerian govt and Nigerin business men should build refineries in the west african sub-region , send their crude to these refineries and sell refined products at rock bottom prices to the whole of west africa and some central african countries, pay tax to the government of these countries and repartrait the proceeds back to nigeria. These countries will have no other option than to buy and use your refined products. The money repartraited back to the country will be used to develop other sectors of the economy like agriculture, tourism and mining just to mention a few. That is what a call a true giant.

God bless you!
I don't know why we don't wanna be an ambitious in Nigeria! Our Soldiers have died in more conflicts in West Africa than elsewhere, yet we don't even want to fully subdue the subregion economically!
Foreign Businessmen should see Nigeria as a gate to West Africa (just like Dubai and formally Beirut in the ME)
Russia is throwing tantrums in Europe unchallenged because they have gotten European countries to rely FULLY on CHEAP RUSSIAN Gas to survive Winter..it's just too cheap to gamble away on the alter of ideological sentiments (sorry Ukraine) .
I don't see the entrant of Iran and US into the Oil Market as a bad thing. It only made the market more competitive..whoever sells cheapest and provides the sweetest deals takes home the customer's money!
See Angola na!
Nigeria and Saudi being Older Exporters should have experience in their side whole navigating these new market challenges!
Go back to the basics!

Who said China doesn't give Loans no more because it's experiencing Slow Growth?
What do you do when your Economy Stagnates? Your Spend more to get it kicking! America did this!
China has and will keep giving loans to strategic partners! Will you say all the Assets our Military have been acquiring are based on CoD?
Look at the Amount China is Spending in East Africa, (Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya etc)...

What's in for China?
Expanded Trade and Geopolitical Clout!
More over seas jobs for Chinese engineers etc and lots more!

Nigeria's Oil Fields operating at a Loss?
Hehehe! Upgrade your technology for cost effective production or Cash Out to younger vibrant new entrants into the market!

Militants will blow them up!
Arm up the Navy, Set up a robust Coast guard system,
Review our Amnesty Agreement and bring serious ND sons to the table ( shoot the criminals)

How will we fund the Loans?
We are selling Oil to West Africa daily right? So what happens to a sharing Formula as conditions attached to the bank loan provided by Exim? ( A serious Economic Lawyer can negotiate us a good deal)

Alternative Income Source is the Forward!
I agree entirely that we must diversify! But we cannot diversify overnight when we had 50+ years to do that...it should be phased!

Alternative Energy Sources are gaining ground at alarming rate, if we do not maximise the benefits of Oil, we'll one day see Foreign Soldiers in our Lands telling us to stop drilling and selling Oil,cuz it's polluting the World and causing Climate change!

#letsdebateconstructively

Nonsense!
We can boost the domestic market in Africa For our oil.
Secure a low interest loan from China and build a west Africa gas pipeline extending all the way to Gambia...then sell at rock bottom price, govt to govt..
Russia did it in Europe...we can do it

Everyone wants to be heard!

Hassan Katsina the Snake

Amen Sir! Amen!

Lolzzzzzzzzzzz @ " they don't put their guns on the left side"
So all DSS personel are left-handed shooters?
Interesting
!

The holster sir!
Damby isn't strange to such courtesies as a former 4 star general...however, he should remember he's now a civilian!
A warning from Bubu should be enough!

Not entirely true! BH has been known to decimate residents of some of the islands in the lake Chad region..infact, BH's deadliest attack so far is Baga, a fishing settlement with water all around! As to dirty appearance, almost all fighters in the front lines have that, even our soldiers, ..no tym to baff!
Methinks most of the things you mentioned are restricted to the BH on the battlefield, the urban bokos are clean, well groomed and ride flashy cars here in abj...
Nice piece sha

Omagzee:
Oyi Wetin those edumoga(Okonobo) guys do me ehn. Sha its all in the past now.

We're from a minority ethnic group in Nigeria and the need for, Should i say 'pure breeds' cannot be over-emphasised. My immediate elder sister got married to an Owukpa man last year, although she had both Egbo and Ogbemi suitors.

Yes, gone are those days, dead are the stereotypes. Alo jorkpa, Alo nyi'norkpa, so why shouldn't we invest all these mental achievements on our Idoma sisters?

My brother, your quest is justified and you will find that 'Ochanya' of your fantasy very soon.

Amen Sir, Amen
