Ask your AI under whose adminstration Onithsa port was concieved and constructed to completion.
After that ask your AI who suggested the elephant project which made no economic sense to the Shagari govt.
Ask.your AI who headed the Presidential Economic Team during Shagari's adminstration.
The fact remains that the money wasted on this port ought to.have been better used in expanding and upgrading ports in the coastal areas but instead Ekweme who.wanted a port by force in Onithsa without doing any feasibility study pushed for this nowmoribound relic to government ineptitude.
Mr man just admit the fact that you lied. How can you lie with a thing like this when you know that, we are no more in the19th century where you people's lies and propaganda was unverifiable.
From my investigations, I can hit by chest with boldness and tell you to your face that you are lying and I rather take what my AI said than yours.
DomPerignon: It was money from Nigerian coffers that ought to have been used to upgrade ports in Warri , Calabar and PH that your Ekweme diverted to build this elephant project that has not justified the cost off constructing and operating it since its inception.
Staff of the NPA stationed at that port are paid to play draft without loading or offloading a single container.
So you expect the port to still be a money pit drain on the NPA - a federal revenue generator so that you can say you have one dead port in Onitsha?
If you were truly patriotic you will call for the port to be shut down and all monies used in operating it diverted to upgrading ports in Warri, PH and Calabar.
I've told you several times to always desist from lying whenever you are on my mentions, you no gree because you can't do without l!es.
DomPerignon: Despite the efforts of the government of the Eastern region to infuse sanity into the economy of the region, the northernern and western Nigeria were conveting the crude oil resources and waiting for an opportunity to hijack it to the center.
Why do you guys thrive in lying blatantly?
The reason for the ibo coup of Jan 15 was to ensure that the oil in the minority coastal provinces remains under the control of you ibos to exploit .
The minorities had secured a solid backing from federal MPs from the Northern, Western and Midwestern region to support the creation of COR region out of the IBO dominated and highly marginalising Eastern region.
Seeing the cash cow slipping away from their vice grip, Enugu plotted a coup to not only prevent the seccession of the minority people but to put a final nail to regionalism and democratic rule.
Ironsi's decree 34 denied all regions from having a civil service and concentrated power in the hands of an unelected rogue Ibo dictatorship populated by ibo politicians .
You can continue crying over Niger Delta and their oil but have it in the back of your skulls that the British created Eastern Nigeria is forever dead and buried.
You are calling people liars, and at the same time dishing out your own lies.
The coup is awolowo/yorobah coup that's what ademoyega made us to understand in his book "why we struck". IBB also said the same thing ademoyega said in his own book.
The oil you are lying about is also in SE too including gas that is in large quantity in Imo state.. So I don't know why you always lie in every Igbo related issues.
nusirat: The poster here need brain, compare Burkinafaso to Nigeria, Traore needs Tinubu assurance that he will not done what he did in Benin Republic, if we say Nigeria is impoverished, is it comparable to Burkinafaso, abi kini kati kati.
You are the one seriously in need of a pineal gland here. You and your likes are praising Nigeria based on past glory that's why una dey blind to see that, Burkina Faso don overtake Nigeria currently.
When a country is referred to as small or tiny it is not necessarily the size in land mass or population. A small country can be economically or military powerful.
Context is ket in every statement. Olodo
if you have senz, you would've read meanings in what the person I quoted said before attacking me.
FreeStuffsNG: We didn’t apologize. It beggars believe why many of you are being mischievous and ignorant at the same time.
Nigerian military airplane was cleared for emergency landing according to international rules by the civilian aviation authorities of Burkina Faso. He is scared because he's a coupist.
British plane landed in emergency inside Russia yet U.K has sanctioned Russia. Nigeria didn’t beg.
He wanted and badly needed that assurance because he is a coupist. A democratically elected government of BurkinaFaso will never be scared of any Nigerian military airplane having an emergency landing inside their country.
It's only a psychopath who will wish Nigeria goes to war with a tiny, impoverished landlocked Burkina Faso.
Israel is tiny to compare with Nigeria but, isreal can bring Nigeria down in seconds and you know this fact. If Burkina Faso is impoverished Nigeria is impoverished too that's why your government cannot do without borrowing. Lastly, Nigeria have coastline but you can't compare Nigeria with Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg these countries don't have coastline, they are landlocked countries too.
FreeStuffsNG: There's no more silent majority in Nigeria. The majority is feisty and patriotic!
If the majority were silent, sense would not have come back to BurkinaFaso after their initial fear that our soldiers were there to give their own coupists the 'Benin treatment, Kanu today wouldn't have become oni Sokoto of Sokoto Prison and Obi wouldn't be jumping from one party to another after he was resoundingly rejected by Nigerians.
Nigerians don't keep quiet when war is waged against our collective national interests.
That's why all the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose.
Lol this one is still swimming in their ocean of lies and propaganda
Oga, which Nigerians rejected Obi? The election was rigged massively we know the truth.
ebukal67x: I dont know how to explain this but there are some people who just have an irrational hatred for Nigeria and everything Nigerian. Its quite sad.
What caused the hatred if I may ask? Don't you think that something caused the hate and bile majority of Nigerian citizens have for Nigeria.
Take for instance, America has fifty states and some of the states are bigger than the states in Nigeria yet, the American citizens love their country with passion. This is because American government made their citizens to be patriotic by treating them right and equally. The American government knows that things will definitely go wrong for their country if, a section of America should hate the country.
But in Nigeria we have different laws for different people/tribe. Nigeria have the people they kpai on sight at any slightest provocation no matter how innocent those people maybe and, people they turn a blind eye to their crimes no matter the gravity of their offence.
How can you run a country that way and expect love, peace and unity?
Ikaeniyan0: Explain what the government did to the Igbos that's bad abeg
Denying them presidency and treating differently from other tribes.
Example; convicting and sentencing Kanu while the terrorists up north dine and wine with the government on negotiation table. And after that, the terrorists walk freely doing their dirty business.
Targeting Igbo properties and businesses with the aim of bringing them down. A lot of Igbos are out of business as a result of this.
Akinpedia: Nigeria's 2023 presidential race wasn't just a contest; it was a clash of titans, each wielding weapons forged in the fires of our chaotic democracy. Structure means the old-school party machinery: loyal delegates, governors in your pocket, and boots on the ground from Sokoto to Calabar. Power is the dark art of money, institutional muscle, and networks that bend reality itself.
Atiku Abubakar boasts the first; Bola Tinubu commands the second. But Peter Obi? That's the million-naira question we'll unpack today. Can a man without the machine or the millions really shake the throne?
The Atiku 'Structure': PDP's Iron Grip and Waziri's Web
Atiku Abubakar didn't stumble into relevance—he built it brick by brick over decades. As a founding father of the PDP, he's the party's evergreen candidate, the man who turns primaries into coronations. Remember 2019? Despite internal knives, his delegates held firm, delivering him the ticket like clockwork.
His structure shines in the governors' club: from Nyesom Wike's Rivers fortress to Ifeanyi Okowa's Delta machine, Atiku's got Northern emirs whispering his name and Southern godfathers dialing his line. This isn't hype—it's tangible. PDP ward executives, youth wings, and women's groups span 774 LGAs, fueled by patronage that's survived military juntas and civilian coups.
In a country where elections are won at collation centers, Atiku's web ensures votes are "harvested" efficiently. Critics call it corruption; fans say it's mastery. Either way, it's why he's the comeback king.
The Tinubu 'Power': Money, Institutions, and the Godfather's Shadow
If Atiku has the scaffold, Bola Tinubu wields the sledgehammer—pure, unadulterated power. We're talking a war chest that could fund a small nation: billions from Alpha Beta taxes, real estate empires, and Lagos' golden goose. In 2023, his APC machine printed money like INEC prints result sheets, buying endorsements from Rivers to Zamfara.
But it's deeper than cash. Tinubu's godfather status controls institutions—the judiciary (hello, election petitions), security agencies, and even INEC's underbelly. His Southwest network? Decades in the making, from NADECO days to Buhari's kitchen cabinet. Jagaban doesn't need delegates; he installs them. When Obi surged, Tinubu's power flexed—sudden defections, media blitzes, and that infamous "emi lo kan" rally that turned doubters into devotees. In Nigeria, power isn't voted; it's seized. Tinubu's got it in spades.
The Obi Asset: Grassroots Fire, Youth Rage, and Digital Thunder
Enter Peter Obi, the outlier without suits or suitcases of cash. No PDP dynasty, no Lagos vaults—yet he electrified 2023 like no one since June 12. His ace? The Obidient Movement, a grassroots tsunami of youth fury, diaspora dollars, and moral steel. This isn't structure; it's spontaneous combustion—millions of first-time voters, Gen Z hustlers, and fed-up professionals chanting "from consumption to production."
Obi's appeal cuts deep: frugal governor who left Anambra richer, no corruption scandals, and a message of competence over cabal. Social media was his war room—Twitter storms trended #ObidientNation, TikTok mobilized campuses, WhatsApp forwarded his receipts.
In Lagos and Abuja, his rallies dwarfed the rest, powered by volunteers, not vouchers. It's non-traditional warfare: character as currency in a market of thieves. Can it scale? 2023 showed it flips scripts—Obi won urban Nigeria hands down. But rural strongholds? That's the test.
Verdict: Grassroots vs. Goliath—Can Obi Topple the Throne?
Structure endures, power crushes, but Obi's grassroots blaze could incinerate both—if it matures. Atiku's machine grinds slow but sure; Tinubu's fist strikes hard. Obi? He's the wildcard, betting on Nigeria's tired-of-thieves majority. History favors the establishment—Buhari beat Jonathan's structure, Tinubu outpowered all. Yet Obi's 6 million votes signal a shift: youth won't wait forever.
In our winner-takes-all arena, non-traditional wins are rare (ask MKO). Obi needs structure tomorrow—alliances, not just vibes. Provocative truth: He has hope weaponized, but hope starves without power. 2027 beckons—will Obidients build the machine, or fade like Saro's ghost? Nairaland, sound off: Obi 3.0 or status quo forever?
What do you think—can strong character really cash the cheque in Naija politics today? Is it possible for someone with integrity and principles to succeed and make a real difference in the complex world of Nigerian politics? These are important questions to consider as we look at the political landscape in Naija.
Peter Obi have the masses and that is the highest.
T9ksy: Oh so, that's why you brother wants burkina faso to bomb Lagos, to rubbles? Why Lagos? Why not Abuja, where the seat of power is and is closer to burkina faso than lagos? Byw, you forgot that many of your brothers & sisters have made Lagos, their permanent abode.
N.B: I don't care if you are patriotic or not. I no send.
You don't care if we are patriotic or not then, why are you complaining about how your fellow Nigerian want Lagos bombed?
And as for the bolded, lagos as a state has knocked down Igbo properties more than the states you mentioned. Lagos stopped Igbos from voting during 2023 elections, Lagos is the only state in Nigeria that wants Igbos to go back to SE.
Lastly, the judge, the prosecutor and the president that convicted and sentenced K@nu is from the tribe that always claim ownership of lagos.
So what do you expect after all these injustices? We're you expecting love and handshake after all these?
Dogalmighty17: The author of this article is a clown. What does 'Russian backed Sahel states' mean? You think Russia will jeopardize its relationship with Nigeria because of any of the Sahel states? You are a clown.
Which relationship do you think Russia have with Nigeria, that is greater than the one Russia have for Burkina Faso?
See as this one (eleyi), our so-called fellow nigerian, is wishing for an external country to bomb our pride and joy to rubbles.
Right from the time of your father Azikwe, you guys have been wishing us, bad vibes however, when we push back then una go start chanting, tribalists, bigotry, ati bebelo.
So after denying Igbos presidency and sentenced Kanu to life imprisonment, you still expect Igbos to be patriotic?
