No responsible Government would do this in the face of current Economic crisis, wedding ceremony for like 3,days ....This administration has lost it....

In general, Hausa weddings, whether rich or poor, starts Wednesday and ends Sunday; speak not of what you do not understand.

DropShot:
The Senate is a congregation of thieves and criminals who will do anything to have a corrupt EFCC chairman instead of an upright Magu.

I am inclined to agree with you.

One thing that comes across as unfair was failure of the senate to confront Magu with the allegations against him and therefore give him the opportunity to defend himself (therefore denying him his fundamental human right to fair hearing) they instead chose to quickly accept the DSS report on its face value without further scrutiny.

I beg!

Can he explain what happened in Angola to the latter detail?

In war, so many sides suffers casualities not because they deserve to die or go hungry but because they are victims of circumstances.

It's a fact that atrocities has been committed by govt forces n BH but, does he know the atrocities committed by supposedly patriotic citizens?

Try selling that also to IPOB youths concerning the causalities of the Biafran war.

All these Igbos representing core northern states, some of them even wearing Fulani attire of the ppl they so much hate; the hypocrites will not shout marginalisation or quota system now that they are occupying other ppl's position.

sammyj:
This may be a bad decision because it will put more pressure on the Niara when we start the importation of this products without any much means of sourcing for more dollars in the economy. Anyways we are watching this development if the government will not end up making a U turn because of lack of dollars to import this product!!!

Quite on point, the govt was wrong to yield to pressure from such criticism, it should have resisted and in fact expanded its list to include more unnecessary imported goods.

Raph01:
Them allow boko haram pipu sef 4 dia?? that woman covering her face in the first pic

It wouldn't surprise me if you actually invested money to buy such ignorance SMH

Black belle ppl just full dis ground; some are calling it a lie as if they can wish it away; others are wrongly quarrelling with it as non diversification; expecting the government to stand still doing nothing and allow the ND to hold the rest of this nation to ransom, without exploring alternative solutions to the ongoing blackmail.

Some of them will commit suicide by the time Sokoto and the Benue oil & gas rich trough finds are confirmed.

Let the saboteurs continue, soon they'll be buying refined petrol from the Kaduna refineryl; while they'll watch in envy as the local economy picks up along with the creation of many jobs and industries - in fact, their hate is our motivation to develop and prepare towards self sufficiency; so let them hate some more.

Good development, let them unmask their sponsors - justice must be served.

It is easy enough to condemn but not as easy to justify; she should have also provided the evidence in to allow ppl make their own decisions from an informed position.

0b10010011:
They will let go with time, they just want to diversify before they do that at the end of the day, they will have nothing to lose

Oboy, e be like say na only you get sense pass; make I kuku dash you two cups of kunu sef. Yes indeed, the north is consolidating its gains and preparing to squarely confront the unending threat of breaking this country along with insults from southerners from a position of strength, so that when the time comes it would have nothing to lose whether we stay together or go our separate ways - anyone who can't see that must be blind.

Baba mai farin jini kenan.
He is respected even among his enemies, no more booing the president in the national assembly as is the case of the last administration. I salute you sir

True talk my brother.

eLcastro:
so because one "northern" as u said was beheaded in the south probably cause he wanted to rig an election.,heaven should fall....u really not well.,i have said let the appropriate authority carry out an investigation nd deal with the culprit....also i asked a question u didn't answer was he the only dsp on Saturday why was his case diff they should look 4 answers...now am asking you another about 28000 police and 15000 army were on ground that saturday yet they allow a group of hoodlums behead a dsp..what were they doin protectin people orr riggin election...u sharing pix of a beheaded man 4 me to see...u really a kid.,am from onelga we see that on daily basis that we start thinking if onelga is no longer under the jurisdiction of this dullard govt...#goodnyt

Oga, I no fit argue with persin wey be like e done forget im brain for one ogogoro joint.
And as for the violence; well you just proved my point by admitting that violence is your way of life.

Chikelue2000:
Untill they invade ur home n beat ur ppl black would u then believe. What has gone wrong with our youths?

The allegation is yet to be substantiated; deal with it.

eLcastro:
...u really don't get it.,The man might end up goin free,we don't care...what we the rivz people of pdp hav achieve is jus Lettin the world know...cuz we only prepared 4 a calm free fair election..buh 2019 won't be lyk dis....we won't only defend our votes then..we will defend ourselves 1st b4 our votes

Pls don't patronise me with that bullcrap of free and fair election in Rivers (and Bayelsa); in fact no section of this country is know for the ugly election violence than your domain, where ppl are killed and beheaded, without the help of outsiders but the same ethnic group killing themselves.
In fact what would say about this northern police officer that was beheaded during the just concluded Bayelsa election, what did he do to deserve such treatment?

I recall the death of a few corpers in the post 2011 election violence in the north; since then you guys from the south have not allowed us rest, it was as if this such a thing happens on a daily basis; yet northers like this policeman are being killed in the south without the same uproar.
Just take your double standard and shove it where the sun doesn't shine

One of these days I must go and greet you there; biko give me your cage number, I mean your address.

Ighotago

LOL, a visiting animal - ok oOh

CallMeNJay:
That video was aired on Chanels TV.
The SARs commander is already in Abuja for questioning

Case is still only an allegation, airing the clip on TV or the officer being recalled for questioning doesn't prove anything at this juncture until after full investigation and verification of the evidence - remember the Enugu massacre when the Police Commissioner went on TV to say the killings had nothing to do with the Fulani but due to communal clash only for him to later recant his earlier story.

Not yet fully convinced; video appears to have been edited - no voice and made up of several short joint clips that could have been put together to tell a different story.

It is also especially peculiar that an officer on such alleged illegal mission would clearly allow himself to be interviewed sitting in a vehicle in an open compound while conscious of his voice being recorded speaking into a cellphone.

This alone cannot stand as evidence of any significance without additional corroboration from e.g. eyes witnesses or confessions of the accused.

In fact it could even be argued that the whole thing could have been staged managed and sponsored by Wike & Co with the complicity of the accused in order to malign the APC - in Nigeria anything is possible.

Aguntasolo1:
These are the relevant constitutional provisions:



Also section


Does she even merit to be a minister? Does she have education of any kind?

Well, it would appear that the constitution went to further qualify what a school certificate means.
Accordingly, based on paragraphs b) which speaks of education up to secondary school certificate level and d) which speaks of any other qualification acceptable to INEC; therefore a person vying for any elected office or ministerial position does not need a certificate of any kind at all to qualify for that office - I believe this was why GEJ and the PDP gave up on their mission to disqualify PMB from the presidential election.

Considering the above, it is therefore safe to say that Aisha Mohammed was more than qualified for her ministerial position and no doubt ridiculous for anyone to fault the UN for independently deeming her qualified a job within its organisation.

GudluckIBB:
You will rant in public, secretly, you will send your traditional rulers to come and beg Buhari.

We are waiting for you to spill the secret.

Don't mind the empty chest beater; what is he waiting for?
He should have revealed the secret to destroy Nigeria immediately so that he can free his Biafra.
After all, wasn't that his idea in the first place and reason why he was encouraging his gullible IPOB youths to take up arms to destroy Nigeria?
What is he therefore waiting for when he could have easily destroyed the country in court without firing a single shot or loss of life and property?

I bet by now many of his gullible followers would be foolishly pumped up by these hollow empty threats - as if he achieved a landmark victory.

nextprince:
The fulani violence is a consequence of rustling, stop the rustling and the violence will follow naturally. The cattle of a Fulani man is his treasure. Attempt robbing a man of 10k and see if he wouldn't take ur life if he can.

So far, the only sensible objective person that understands the problem and is willing to enlighten a bunch of mofos blinded by bigotry and hatred.

Okeikpu:
Zoological republic of Nizooria
The story I was hearing since I was a kid
Now am almost 40 n still dey hear d same story
Up NEPA then n uptil now

And apparently a fool at 40 for insulting this country by referring to it as a zoo - maybe you are one of the animals in the zoo, unlike the rest of us human beings.

Blue3k:
Lol I'm talking about geological region so get out of your feeling. This isn't about individual persons. That's why I talking about systems not tribes. That's I say region aka geopolitical regions.

Who do the oil companies higher to do work in Nigeria. Nigerians. Who typically work their south nigerians along with many others. Where is productivity be it igr or gdp south. Where are all the major business located lagos which is in south.

Now argue stats since you can't argue definitions. You switched goal post after you proven you don't know definition of Synonymous or synonyms of lazy. No what do you want now?

You claim to be speaking of regions not individuals; yet you inadvertently switched to individuals when referring to hiring by the oil companies (note the correct spelling of hiring - olodo) - talk of shifting the goal post.

BTW, if you talk of a region you inevitably also have to be inferring about its ppl because the two are virtually inseparable .

Remove the contribution of oil and the attendant benefits of the industry to the local economies in the south; revise the stats again then come back and talk to me.

Just like oil, Lagos has the advantage of the ports; remove this factor and imagine how that economy would suffer.

Bottom line, oil and the port are blessings from God, which have nothing to do with any special effort of the ppl (or if you insist, a region) and cannot therefore be used as an excuse to justify insulting or discrediting others without such advantage as lazy or parasites.

Sylverbox:
That leg looks nothing like its indicated for amputation. Wish him quick recovery sha.

Me also think the same.

Blue3k:
Lol my use of word was talking in economic unproductivity which I told you. I back it up with data. Now run along child. I explained this to you then you admitted it. Now today he admitted the words were synonymous like I said.

Sad illiterate. I shall bring your quotes.

You must have the most wildest of imaginations.
My bone of contention with you has always been the use of the words lazy and parasites to describe northerners along with the ridiculous reliance on oil revenue that cannot credited to southern effort to buttress this silly position.

Pidgin2:
Lol let her not disgrace us there, that's my only request

Pls just drop it - have heard enough bigotry from you in one day.

Blue3k:
They are close enough. Im glad you admitted you did not know difference til I gave you the information. They are close enough to be used the same like I did in that context. Now go get get your reading lesson with other primary school kids. (Your quote exposed you)

I call you illiterate as an insult you mental defect only you would take it literally. This emphasizes fact you don't grasp english language well. You wouldn't have argued that point with me if you did.

Ps synonymous doesn't mean exact same. The words don't need to be. Funny you just proved you don't know definition of synonymous either. Lol you make the to easy @MeAboki

adjective: synonymous
(of a word or phrase) having the same or nearly the same meaning as another word or phrase in the same language.
"aggression is often taken as synonymous with violence"
closely associated with or suggestive of something.
"his deeds had made his name synonymous with victory"

What a buffoon; then you were obviously being disingenuous and deliberately ambiguous in order not to be caught out in an argument - because you can always fall back on any of the alternatives as your intended version.
Try as much as you want to wriggle out of your earlier statement; you cannot take away from the fact that your choice of the word lazy and the context in which you applied it to refer to northerners was very clear in intention and quite inappropriate, disrespectful and most importantly utterly baseless.
As for the above (in bold), you must be out of your mind as I have never admitted to anything, let alone being tutored by you of all ppl - you were clearly lying.

Pidgin2:
FYI the average illiterate in my area speaks better English than both Buhari and Aisha. I was troubled by this news as many folks back there have issues with the proper use of English language. She is good, so I won't be embarrassed listening to her speak, nice one. Up Nigeria.

Pls pls stop advertising your ignorance and bigotry; if the UN is about spoken English then Ban Ki Moon wouldn't be its Secretary General - you obviously have never listened to him speak.
Your username already speaks for itself.

Blue3k:
Lol you stop being a fraud before I quote you illiterateaboki. I told you were talking about economics then you brought dictionary. I hot you with thesaurus. You're pathetic if you want to lie now.

You obviously do not fully understand the meaning of the word illiterate, because if you could review the drivel you just wrote, you wouldn't be applying it to others so liberally.

BTW, I don't need a thesaurus to successfully argue that LAZY and UNPRODUCTIVE are NOT entirely SYNONYMOUS - the former is directly related to lack of willingness to apply effort while the latter is related to the outcome of applied effort.
Yes, they are related but not entirely the same; though I don't expect a brain like yours to comprehend.

Blue3k:
Another pathetic reply come back with argues to what I said mental defect. 4 replies bUT you won't elboate on anything you claimed. You and MeAboki are probably brothers. That guy argued with me lazy and unproductive being synonymous til I hit him with thesaurus.

Lol is your next reply going to be an argument or did you give up on your points since you won't defend anything you.

Nonsense; I ignored you after I realised it was a waste of my time arguing with a brick wall.
How do you get through a mind that is like concrete: all mixed up and permanently set?

jpphilips:
I will be the last person to call the Northerners parsites not because I love them but because I understand how the system works. please stop typing in caps, its irritating.

If you had followed the thread and my earlier posts carefully you would have understood why.

jpphilips:
Nigeria does not sit like a landlord waiting for taxes, Nigeria pays her own fair share of all exploration, investment, distribution, maintenence and development costs, Nigeria pays higher than the companies that is why it is called a JV.
obviously you have no idea what cash call means, you may wish to read up "Cash call" to have an idea what Nigeria's role is.

I will gladly concede the point you raised on joint venture in order not to digress away from my primary bone of contention; which is:

HOW ARE SOUTHERNERS RESPONSIBLE FOR GENERATION OF THE SAID OIL REVENUE TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY SHOULD FEEL JUSTIFIED IN CALLING NORTHERNERS LAZY AND PARASITES - (which according to you is by joint venture partnership between FG and the Oil Companies e.g. Shell, Chevron etc)?
