case about to close.

goodness me the minister has escaped.

He said, “It is now clear that the calls for Oduah’s sacking were politically motivated. I can confirm to you that a serving South-South governor is among those leading the witch-hunt against Stella Oduah.

apls tell us who is remaining among members of anti oduah that is not yorubas.
say it out why are you making South South name open while coating the name of Southwest.
this yorubas nawaaooh

sagaciousone: Protesters supporting the embattled Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, have accused Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State of being among top government officials spearheading the “witch-hunt against the minister.”

The pro-Oduah protesters, who gathered at the Federal Secretariat, Abuja, where the aviation ministry is located,  alleged that the Rivers State governor was against the minister because his aircraft was grounded earlier this year by agencies under the ministry.

The National Coordinator, Grass Root Movement for Unity and Stability – a rights group, Mr. Edisemi Yiki, alleged that calls for the sacking of Oduah were politically motivated.

He argued that his group had investigated and their findings revealed that a serving governor from the South-South region of the country was leading the campaign for the removal of the aviation minister.

He said, “It is now clear that the calls for Oduah’s sacking were politically motivated. I can confirm to you that a serving South-South governor is among those leading the witch-hunt against Stella Oduah.

“And this is because one of his aircraft was grounded by agencies under the ministry sometime this year. But what they fail to understand is that the minister has done well and must be allowed to continue the good work we see at our airports.”

SUMMARY: Careful reading of this report by dailypost shows how desperate the yorubas can be against SE folks. mind you am not from either tribe am a middle beltan but truth must be said. too many hatred is going on in nigeria yet we remain one nation. what pains me most is that the fulani, yoruba and hausa people that shouts too much of one nigeria are the most tribalistic people we have.

the worst media report we ever heard is "anonymous said so and so":
on the case of mandela's death: anonymous has reported his death so many times yet he lives.
on the case of Ojuku anonymous said he died many times and years back before he died.
tell me how do we blv dailypost on the issue with the so and so anonymous report.
anyway am sure dailypost knew that their report will not change a thing but they must say something to keep yorubas alert about ibo domination

english is not my mother tongue.

it matters little to me.

Oduah: Groups plan nationwide mass protest
October 27, 2013 by Leke Baiyewu and Allwell Okpi 86 Comments



Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah
SOME civil society groups have said unless those found culpable in the N255m — armoured cars scandal rocking the Ministry of Aviation are investigated and prosecuted, they will take to the streets in mass protests.

The groups include the Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, the Campaign for Democracy, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, the Joint Action Front, the Civil Liberties Organisation and the Committee for Democracy and Rights of the People.

In separate interviews with our correspondents on Friday, the groups said only a thorough investigation and prosecution of those indicted, including the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, would stop them from protesting.

The National Coordinator, CDRP, Mr. Amitolu Shittu, told one of our correspondents that civil society groups had met and had started mobilisation for a mass protest.

Shittu said with the way President Goodluck Jonathan handled previous cases of corruption and misappropriation of funds by public officials, he was not likely to punish Oduah, even if the probe panels indicted her.

He said, “From the look of things, it seems Jonathan is trying to exonerate her. But, we will not let that happen. There was a meeting in Osogbo by the civil society groups two days ago on this issue. We discussed, argued on it and we decided that we are fighting these people to a standstill. We are not keeping quiet on this.

“As part of the plan, there will be protest, but we want to come out unannounced. We are not afraid of arrest and detention. We will not announce the date of the protest because we don’t want hoodlums in government and those on the streets to take advantage of this.”

Shittu added that apart from demanding the sacking and prosecution of Oduah, the planned protest would be in solidarity with the striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

“Mobilisation is ongoing. Some people are in schools making adequate preparations because we are in support of ASUU. It would be a combined protest, both to show support for ASUU and also protest against that woman (Oduah). It’s going to be a very strong protest,” he said.

Similarly, the Executive Chairman, CACOL, Debo Adeniran, said, “We have written to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission; we submitted the letter on Wednesday and we gave them seven days. After that expiration, CACOL is taking its independent action.

“We are going to hit the roads to protest the issue.”

In her submission, the President, CD, Joe Okei-Odumakin, said impunity should not be encouraged. She described Oduah’s trip to Israel for pilgrimage in the heat of the crisis as an affront to Nigerians. She said it showed the aviation minister was not remorseful and not in tune with the masses.

Okei-Odumakin said although Oduah had the right to fair hearing, she, however, said the panel set up by President Jonathan was only for “administrative purposes.”

The CD President said the group would take to the streets, if the investigation panel was found wanting.

The Executive Director, SERAP, also said Adetokunbo Mumuni, the group was waiting for President Goodluck Jonathan’s action on Oduah’s response to the query issued to her.

He said the group was also waiting for the outcome of the probe by a presidential panel.

Mumuni said, “We’ll support whatever other civil rights organisations are ready to do in respect of the matter (scandal). We may take it a little bit further by filing a court action, once we are able to make up our mind on the substance of the case before the court.

“If no action is taken by the President, we may be compelled to go to court.”

Likewise, the Executive Director, CLO, Mr. Ibuchukwu Ezike, said the group would take necessary actions, if the Federal Government failed to punish all those indicted in the scam, including Oduah.

“The President has set up a committee to investigate the matter and the House has asked its committee to look into the matter. One thing we know is that Nigerians are not happy with this and we will not allow them to sweep it under the carpet.”


by the end of these bruhaha the two groups will loose,
i mean oduah will go down along yoruba leaders in ncaa.

cKaiser: You forgot to append your signature "I am from middle Belt"

SILENT IS THE BEST ANSWER TO A PAID TINUBU AGENT.

am not here to defend madam aviation minister but i hate it when some group are out to bully others wit their fulani hausas alliance.

if mrs oduah is guilty let her face the music but if not let the truth stand.
but those who want to throw stones at her HOA should watch themself if they too are righteous of the said act said by JESUS.

the poster with the name ckaiser is one of TINUBU'S online warriors from southwest just ignore him.
they are all the same with tinubu and fashola their messiah that does no wrong.

Fani-Kayode vs Oduah: Yoruba youths side with minister
By staff 16/10/2013 07:19:00 // News | Africa | Nigeria | Fani-Kayode vs Oduah: Yoruba youths side with minister
// Font size:
The National Committee of Yoruba Youths, NCYY, has accused former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani- Kayode of politicising the recent plane crash involving the Associated Airlines’

http://www.africanseer.com/news/african-news/nigeria/314763-fani-kayode-vs-oduah-yoruba-youths-side-with-minister.html

Pan Yoruba youth group, the National Committee of Yoruba Youths (NCYY), has commended the Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Odua, for the giant strides and array of accomplishments of the Aviation ministry under her watch.

The group also reiterated its support to the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
A statement signed by Hon. Oladimeji Odeyemi and Alli Bello Bashiru, NCYY’s president and national publicity secretary, respectively, noted that for the first time in 30 years , the nation’s aviation sector is wearing a new look with the scaling up efficient service delivery and 21st century modernization.
The statement said: “The array of accomplishments that the Aviation Ministry is hauling into its kitty, is a testimony of a determined, focused and inspiring leadership style of the Minister, Princess Oduah which she has deployed in large measure, to turn the aviation ministry around.
“In her (Odua) quest to put Nigeria first, the Minister ensured that airline passengers are not excessively taxed or exploited by agencies, airlines or those who are into bilateral agreement with the Aviation Ministry.
“The various achievements of Princess Stella Odua include the simultaneous reconstruction and remodeling of eleven airports fitted with modern equipment, manpower and machineries. GAT, Lagos, Benin, Enugu, Kano, among others, have already been commissioned and in use.
“She has equally secured approval for the construction of five brand new international terminals including cargo terminals and plans have reached advanced stage, to float a new national carrier that will be completely private sector–driven.
“Through this medium, we advice some of our leaders who are being used by some former concessionaires who took pleasure in exploiting the travelling public, that the issue of the Aviation sector is beyond ethnicity or religion.”
The group passed a vote of confidence on the Minister and urged all Nigerians to support her in transforming the sector, even as it reaffirmed the support of its leadership, to the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Ok here is the source http://championonlinenews.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=11013:yoruba-youths-drum-support-for-aviation-minister&Itemid=393&lang=en

cKaiser: Once you see a poster with "I am from Middle Belt", "I amYoruba", "I am Ijaw", "I am Niger Delta" in every post

[/quote]Leave Stella Oduah Alone – Niger-delta Group by Manchidede(m): 3:00pm On Oct 24
WARRI- THE Niger Delta for Peace, Credible and Visionary Leadership, NDPCVL, rose in robust defence of embattled Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah, saying, she should be left alone.

NDPCVL in a press statement by its national president, Mr. King-jerry Prebor, said, “She is the best thing that had happened in the aviation industry in regards to new looks, renovation, equipment, trainings of staff, among other things in our airports.”

“The House of Representatives should be concerned with laws that will better the lives of the people, such as the ban of air crafts above 30 years from date of manufacture. It is an open secret that the air crafts bought and used by our air line operators are far above 30years.

The death rates are as a result of old age of the planes brought into the country. Why are the lawmakers looking at only one side when it is obvious that the neck will ache? It is their failure that has cost the nation millions of lives, they failed to move a motion to save the lives lost, but instead are shouting about cars bought by NCAA, not even for the minister’s personal use,” he said.

Prebor asserted, “It is true that the Central bank Governor Malam Sanusi and the former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili raised an alarm that law makers will shut down the country, why did they not raise a motion to look into that.

“The motion moved by Hon. Samson Osagie, seconded by Hon. Shehu Gusau of APC failed to include why our refineries are not working, casualization of workers in the oil industry with peanut as salary, ASUU strike, low salaries for the military, police and civil servants.

“We, the NDPCVL are watching with keen interest the activities of the lawmakers; we urge them to live up to expectation as it will not be business as usual. They should make enabling laws to force air line operators to buy brand new air-crafts to make the air space save for air users,” he said.

According to him, “The major problem affecting the aviation sector is too many unnecessary interference, the ministers in the various ministries should be allowed to take charge absolutely and that that will bring productivity,” he added.

NO YORUBA NO IBO AND NO CORE NORTH AS CBN GOV THIS TIME

IT WILL BE PURELY THE TURN FOR SOUTHERN MINORITY AND TO BE ASSISTED BY A NORTHERN MINORITY.

true medicine for naija illness

oLA AbEf€:
South east are d foolish here not western nigeria

what is wrong with you yorubas? for God sake

NOTE: Middle belt are not among the north mentioned in this article

the fulanis and hausas see mb and south as same. so we are in this shit together with the south.

this is the reason ibos and yorubas should unite

Topic: 33 reasons why southern Nigerians are foolish than the northerners (Read 16106 times)


The North have ruled the country legally(democratically) and illegally (military) for 37 out of the 53 years. The South is very comfortable with this inequality.

Sadly, 80 per cent of Southerners who see this article will not read it!
Note: This article was not developed to ascribe to the entire Northern Nigeria the selfish antics and machination of a few individuals who belong to the region. It would be unfair to do that. Also, this article was developed not with the intention of causing incitement, but if it does – so f__king what?!

1. An average Northerner acquires a cheap transistor radio-set in order to gain political awareness from broadcasting structures such as BBC (Hausa Service), Radio Nigeria, etc. This practice has made the region the most politically-aware region in Nigeria. On the hand, an average Southerner, typically, acquires expensive smartphones equipped with FM radio receiving capability. Instead, they would rather listen to inane songs like “Your Waist”, “Skelewu”,“Ginger Your Swagger”, “NoGede”, etc.

2. Unlike the South, the North understands the importance of numbers in politics. This is why, by all strategic means necessary, the North ensures that they have a larger representation at the National Assembly.

3. Northerners don’t shout, scream, vent and speak “big grammar” to prove that they are politically intelligent on political programmes on TV and radio. Instead, they shout, scream, vent, kick, punch, taekwondo, etc on the floor of the National Assembly to promote a cause that is in their favour. The reverse is the case for the Southerners.

4. Southern graduates/job seekers consider the public sector (government institutions) an unfashionable place for employment. Meanwhile, the Northerners massively recruit and entrench themselves into the public sector and manipulate themselves up the ranks. While all these are going on, their southern brothers and sisters spend years languishing in the labour market for the elusive jobs in blue chip organizations. Yet, Southerners complain of marginalization in the public sector.

5. For some weird reasons, the South is always frightened when the North make political pronouncements. Even weirder – for some inexplicable reasons, Senators and House of Representative members from the South appear to be too timid to oppose their northern counterparts during legislative sessions.

6. According to the gospel of the North – the Northerners were born to rule. That is, leadership (of Nigeria) is their exclusive preserve. By extension, the Southerners were born to be led! Interestingly, certain actions of some Southerners support this belief.

7. The North has more (unrated) billionaires (in Dollars) than any region in Nigeria. For instance, a certain Alhaji Mai Deribe (an oil well licensee) would certainly laugh each time Forbes releases its ratings and his name is not listed.

8. The North doesn’t produce crude oil, but the Northern Senators had the temerity to oppose the 10% host community funds. The Southern legislators find nothing wrong in that, so long as it doesn’t affect their “constituency allowances”.

9. {Singing}Come and see Nigeria wonder! (2x) Statistical absurdity of the grandest order is stating that Kano is more populous than Lagos! Dear friends, even science have proved from simple demographic distribution patterns across the globe that population increases as we move from the hinterland (desert/Savannah region) to the coast– but in the case of Nigeria, the North which lies in the arid zone, is more populous than the South – by a deviously doctored census report. Okay o! We dey look.

10. The North have ruled the country legally (democratically) and illegally (military) for 37 out of the 53 years. The South is very comfortable with this inequality.

11. The North is the chief proponent of the“quota system” and “federal character” principle – a system that was crafted to sacrifice merit on the altar of “national oneness”. In simple terms, even the most unqualified gets a slot in sensitive national projects.

12. Northern law-makers at the National Assembly- typically – rally amongst themselves to promote legislations that favours their region (e.g. pedophilic laws). Southern law-makers typically rally amongst themselves to promote legislations that will increase their salaries and constituency allowances.

13. To the Northerners – the census exercise is not just a statistical evaluation exercise. Instead, it is considered a key political exercise. Meanwhile, the Southern folks see census exercise as atemporal job opportunity for its largely unemployed undergraduates. In the words of Chief Festus Odimegwu (recently resigned Chairman of National Population Commission) “There has been no credible census in the country since 1816 because of manipulations”, Punch Newspaper, 18 October 2013.

14. When it comes to regional unity – religion,politics and language are the common uniting factor for the North. Southerners(especially the South-Easterners) are never united for any course. (Oh, well, Soccer sometimes offers some measure of unity among the Southerners!).

15. The North is the region with the least education, least resources, least development and pervasive poverty – yet, they have ruled Nigeria for 37 years out of the nation’s 53 years of independence.

16. Only the North understands the logic behind establishing a national refinery (the Kaduna refinery) thousands of kilometres away from the point of extraction of crude oil.

17. When it concerns the north, a new standard is always invented. FG or else, how does one explain how Sani Abacha – a near-midget –escaping the “standard height” rule of the military. Even, rising to be president.

18. The North conceived and sold the “Boko Haram” concept as a pointer to the fact that the South is incapable of ruling the country. The South has wholesomely bought the idea. “Yes, automatically Boko Haram will disappear if the north gets the presidency by 2015. I am sure”. Excerpt from the interview granted by Lawal Keita (2nd Republic Governor of Kaduna State) to the News magazine (October 2013)

19. An “instant enemy” of the northern region is any appointed public officer (especially a female one) from the south who has the temerity to oppose their common cause. Or, one that is standing as a clog in their continued dominance in the Oil & Gas/public sector. Some southerners gleefully and ignorantly join in the attack on some of these public officials.

20. Poverty, ignorance, lack of education,religious bigotry and fanaticism, etc. are some very powerful tools needed to effectively manipulate/control people. The Northern oligarchy is very aware of this. Hence, their manipulation of the masses in the north (using these tools) for their selfish interest.

21. Of all the regions, the North is the least supportive of resource control, Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), and the entrenchment of true federalism. The South finds nothing suspicious in that.

22. It is unbelievable to believe that some WISEMEN (in a certain political party) from the South were party to a bizarre arrangement for “power shift” or “power rotation” between the North and the South – when, clearly, the south is home to 2 major ethnic groups and – by far – more ethnic groups than the north.

23. The North offers the most opposition to the privatization of public (government) institutions. Opposition to privatization is principally to prevent the likely disengagement of their largely unqualified members. (BTW, till date, some people still earn salaries of close to N1m monthly from the comatose NITEL. Now guess what region most of these people are from? Note:This fact is verifiable.)

24. The South produces the crude oil (Nigeria’s economic mainstay). However, amongst the regions, the North owns majority of the oil blocks, oil prospecting (OPL) and oil mining (OML) licenses.

25. Northern leaders (political and religious)have never come out, unanimously, to publicly condemn the menace of Boko Haram. Southern leaders (political and religious) that publicly condemn the methods of Boko Haram attract criticisms and are described as self-seeking or seeking attention/relevance.

26. Political power means just one thing to the North – control of the nation’s economic mainstay (Petroleum resources). Little wonder they are vehemently opposed tothe implementation of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).

27. While the north was too busy attacking some Federal Ministers from the South for “ineptitude”, they failed to notice the atrocities of Northern Ministers who were on a mission to inflict callous disparity within the sectors they were meant to oversee. Please, kindly check out the bizarre disparity in cut off points (quota admission) into the 104 Federal Government Colleges (FGCs) aka “Unity Schools”. It was published in January,2013, by the Federal Ministry of Education under the careful supervision of Prof. Ruqayyah Ahmed Rufa’i – a “once upon a time” Minister of Education from the North. Note the disparity between cut off point for southern and northern students. · Abia Male(130) Female (130) · AkwaIbom Male(123), Female (123) · Anambra Male(139) Female (139) · Benue Male (111), Female (111) · Bayelsa Male (72), Female (72) · Cross Rivers Male (97), Female (97) · Delta Male (131), Female (131) · Ebonyi Male (112), Female (112) · Edo Male (127), Female (127) · Ekiti Male (119), Female (119) · Enugu Male (134), Female (1340 · Imo Male (138), Female (138) · Kogi Male (119), Female (119) · Kwara Male (123), Female (123) · Lagos Male (133), Female (133) · Ogun Male (131), Female (131) · Ondo Male (126), Female (126) · Rivers Male (118), Female (118) · Osun Male (127), Female (127) · Oyo Male (127), Female (127) · Plateau Male (97), Female (97) · Yobe Male (20), Female (27) · FCTAbuja Male (90), Female (90) · Kaduna Male (91), Female (91) · Nasarawa Male (58), Female 58) · Niger Male (93), Female (93) · Kano Male (67), Female (67) · Katsina Male (60), Female (60) · Adamawa Male (62) Female (62) · Borno Male (45), Female (45) · Gombe Male (58), Female (58) · Jigawa Male(44), Female (44) · Bauchi Male (35), Female (35) · Kebbi Male (9), Female (20) · Sokoto Male (9), Female (13) · Taraba Male (3), Female (11) · Zamfara Male (4), Female (2)

28. Contrary to the general belief – the biggest unifying factor in Nigeria is not football , but “Crude Oil”. Now note this: The very moment crude oil (in significant commercial quantity) is discovered in the North, that day will mark the beginning of the North’s agitation for a breakaway from the entity called Nigeria.

29. The Nigerian constitution was deliberately flawed and crafted to benefit the North.

30. Strangely, for a nation with vastly more ethic nationalities situated in the South, it is rather suspicious that Nigeria is divided along just regional lines – The North and the South. Now, of course,we all know which region this strange dichotomy favours.

31. The North is the region with the least education, least resources, least development and pervasive poverty – yet, they claim rulership of the nation by right (the “Born to rule” philosophy). In other words, the north must maintain all the undeserved advantages handed them by the British colonial masters and fortified by the North-controlled military political class between 1960 and 1999.

32. In the thinking of a typical Northerner, Arewa Northern Nigeria (not Nigeria) won the Nigerian civil war.

33. In defending a northern interest, if political logic fails, then religious antics and sentiments are stirred up by the Northerner leaders. BONUS The relocation of the nation’s capital from Lagos to Abuja was a deliberate plan of the Northern oligarchy (using the military) to situate the nation’s seat of power at the door-step of the Northerners. They, cleverly, gave Nigerians and the world the impression that everything was irreparably wrong with Lagos as the capital, and that to correct the impression, the capital would need to be situated in the heart of the northern region of Nigeria. To fulfill this arrangement – and give the relocation project an unbiased outlook – reputable Southerners (e.g. Late Justice Akinola Aguda and Tai Solarin) were recruited into the panel set up by the northern oligarchy. WORD ON MARBLE: “This new Nation called Nigeria should be an estate of our great grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must RUTHLESSLY prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the north as willing tools, and the South, as conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over the future.” Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto & Premier of Northern Region: The Parrot newspaper, October 12, 1960. Now, who is the real fool here? (10)

Juan_De_Dios: I'm surprised you accept the report as detailed but reject the line about "forcing" the agency to acquire the cars. Maybe you know something I don't. I read SR and I don't have a very very high opinion of them, but I think accusing them of ethnic bias is inaccurate. In fact, I think it's low. You can accuse them of many things but "tribalism" is certainly not one of them. It's those who have been asking Nigerians to leave Mrs Oduah alone and calling her the best aviation minister rather than call for a thorough investigation by the security agencies that I find to be riding the ethnic bus in this matter.

What we have here is a prima facie case of wrongdoing. What we need is an investigation - by the police or EFCC of ICPC. Not the panel Jonathan is setting up since administrative panels have no power to investigate criminal matters under Nigerian law. Why am I even bothering? This is Nigeria.

PS: Your post contains some baseless allegations.

investigate who ? Stella ODua or NCAA boss.

"More importantly I gave more sons and daughters of Ife and indeed Osun state indigenees more jobs in the various parastatals of Aviation and Culture and Tourism when I was Minister in both than ANY other Minister in the history of our country. If you doubt that go and ask the people and the families from Osun that benefitted or the Ooni of Ife himself and the local and political leaders of that ancient community who were all fully aware. I gave those young men amd women those senior managerial jobs only because they were encouraged to apply for them and they were well qualified for them and I have no regrets about doing so. As a matter of fact I was very proud of doing so because some of them had not worked for years or since they left university. I made so many efforts for those from my ''home region'' that in 2008 the Senator Anyim Ude-led Senate Aviation Commitee on Aviation wanted to ban me from public office for 5 years simply because I put ''too many yoruba people in the aviation parastatals'' from FFK.

how do you want us to blv and follow such group in the name of majority

Tolexander: continue in being deluded!

Minorities love the igbos, goodluck Jonathan can deem it fit to vacate the presidency in 2015 to give igbo chance to rule instead of going for the second term.

Who doesn't know if the southerner rules till 2019, then the next mantle should be to the northerners?

These people don't like you, it is just a pretence to solicit the support of the Igbo to vote for Their own son.

am from a northern minority group myself do you want to know what we use to discuss sometimes about naija.

the love of the ibos is growing by the day among us bcus they are the only group that invest in our land among majority groups.
2) inspite of the war with them we have never recorded any killing of our ppl in iboland.
3) the ibos in our MB state never fight nor pick quarel agaisnt us the host like fulanis/hausas does.
4) some ibo groups sponsors our people in education,
5) most churches in our localities are built almost by the ibos. do you think we will forget all of these.

i can go on and on to issues you will not blv.

WARRI- THE Niger Delta for Peace, Credible and Visionary Leadership, NDPCVL, rose in robust defence of embattled Minister of Aviation, Princess Stella Oduah, saying, she should be left alone.

NDPCVL in a press statement by its national president, Mr. King-jerry Prebor, said, “She is the best thing that had happened in the aviation industry in regards to new looks, renovation, equipment, trainings of staff, among other things in our airports.”

“The House of Representatives should be concerned with laws that will better the lives of the people, such as the ban of air crafts above 30 years from date of manufacture. It is an open secret that the air crafts bought and used by our air line operators are far above 30years.

The death rates are as a result of old age of the planes brought into the country. Why are the lawmakers looking at only one side when it is obvious that the neck will ache? It is their failure that has cost the nation millions of lives, they failed to move a motion to save the lives lost, but instead are shouting about cars bought by NCAA, not even for the minister’s personal use,” he said.

believe me if yorubas continue in their quest of Mrs Oduah must go, what will happen is that she
wil vacate that seat but yorubas will also loose their grip on NCAA and aviation ministry.

A Heavy price to pay if you ask me but many cant see it coming.

yorubas should pretend for once, do you know that ibos are counting the numbers of ibo ministers who lost their job because of yoruba fulani hausa attacks. do you think they are happy.

pls yoruba ppl wise up a bit, we have noticed that ibos never championed a dethronement of any yoruba minister or federal worker.

i said it because i saw it coming. minorities are now having pity on the ibos knowing fully well that ibos are still paying war price.

if yorubas and fulani/hausa are not careful i see their grips on ibos and minoties craashing sooner than later.
i have not been a lover of ibo people till i came to NL and see pure hatred from yoruba and fulanis against ibos,
as a christian pity draws me into an ibo defender.

leave stella odua alone because revenge is always bigger than the initial offence.
becarefuo bewarned and beware.

i loose nothing in this war against ibos but if you guys like continue one day you pple gonna say we wouldnt have.

It is their failure that has cost the nation millions of lives, they failed to move a motion to save the lives lost, but instead are shouting about cars bought by NCAA, not even for the minister’s personal use,” he said.

Prebor asserted, “It is true that the Central bank Governor Malam Sanusi and the former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili raised an alarm that law makers will shut down the country, why did they not raise a motion to look into that.

“The motion moved by Hon. Samson Osagie, seconded by Hon. Shehu Gusau of APC failed to include why our refineries are not working, casualization of workers in the oil industry with peanut as salary, ASUU strike, low salaries for the military, police and civil servants.

“We, the NDPCVL are watching with keen interest the activities of the lawmakers; we urge them to live up to expectation as it will not be business as usual. They should make enabling laws to force air line operators to buy brand new air-crafts to make the air space save for air users,” he said.

According to him, “The major problem affecting the aviation sector is too many unnecessary interference, the ministers in the various ministries should be allowed to take charge absolutely and that that will bring productivity,” he added.
