The answer, unfortunately, is NO. Especially dented by his ministerial nominees, most of whom epitomize corruption/impunity he purports to fight. A former governor without previous means of income now owns a jet-plane, fat bank account, is nominated minister; what change does he bring? Nigerians expect the short-changing anyway, being himself the first corrupt oil minister under whose portfolio a whopping 2.8million naira was stolen. Without accountability then, is he expected to be president with probity? The leopard cannot change its skin, neither is Gen. Muhammadu Buari going to drop tribalism/corruption/nepotism - the roots of corruption. Imagine reneging on his inauguration rhetoric: “I am for everybody, I am for nobody” just in under 4months!. Buhari wasn’t in charge of his military dictatorship, even though he was the head-of-states. Credit his deputy, Brig. Tunde Idiagbon, in whose past glory Buhari won the election. Sacking workers to replace with cronies, witch-hunting/imprisonment of political/religious opponents, segregating against parts of the country out of hate, aren’t way to fight corruption. Single-handedly Buhari took $2.1million loan and has made sure justice/electoral/inland/customs departments are under his kitty. Nigerians expected the CHANGE he promised, but they have religious fanaticism instead. Which’s why boko-haram was born and persists to-date.

ABUJA — President Muhammadu Buhari won a historic election victory in Nigeria this year in part by pledging to tackle corruption. But nearly five months after he took office, some are skeptical that he’s doing enough to make good on his promise.
As he campaigned for office earlier this year, supporters of Buhari often reminded the public of his term as a military head of state in the mid-1980s, when corrupt people were put in jail and whip-wielding enforcers kept order on the streets.
He pledged to put an end to the billion-dollar corruption scandals that plagued his opponent, President Goodluck Jonathan, and which allegedly drained the national treasury while nearly half of all Nigerians remained in poverty.
Headline-grabbing measures
Buhari has kept up the anti-corruption rhetoric since taking office in May. He has made several headline-grabbing moves like publicly declaring his assets, axing the heads of the state oil company and announcing he will handle the responsibilities of petroleum minister himself.
Clement Nwankwo of the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre in Abuja says real institutional reforms are needed to prevent graft.
“Beyond arresting or prosecuting previous government appointees, it’s unclear to Nigerians what new systems are being put in place,” he said.
The former National Security Advisor has been arrested and is facing trial on money laundering and weapons charges. British police searched the London home of the former petroleum minister and confiscated a few thousand dollars.
Lawal Shuaibu, deputy national chairman of Buhari’s All Progressives Congress party, predicts lengthy court battles for those who are accused of corruption. He says the defendants will be able to outspend the government’s more modestly paid lawyers.
“They [government lawyers] operate within the budget approved for them by the national assembly," he said. "The corrupt people being investigated will hire the senior lawyers and pay them in billions.”
Government contracts
He says the next phase of Buhari's war on corruption will come once his Cabinet takes office. Buhari only appointed ministers this month and they are still being screened by the Senate.
Nwankwo says with no leadership in the ministries to issue contracts and inaugurate projects, it’s hard to tell if the way of doing business in Nigeria has changed.
“And it’s only when you spend this money that you can tell whether you have worked out a strategy to deal with corruption or not,” he said.
The global drop in the price of oil has strained Nigeria's budget, lending increased urgency to the fight against graft and waste. The government gets about 70 percent of its revenue from sales of crude.
Buhari has begun reviews of government contracts.

It is not by mere words we all know who are slaves that were conquered by women of hausa fulani's, even your state Akure plus others were taken and to Northerners without any retaliate, that's slavery personified cowardice.

Hello House,

I need your candid advise on what business I can do with 10 million naira. I have been able to save this money over the years and I don't want to waste it anyhow, I need to engage in a form of business asap.

I ventured into poultry farming last year but so far, it looks like its NOT a profitable business.

Please advise....

a company here pays 8% on your depisit in every month as long as your deposit is with them, and you can withdraw your initial capital whenever you like. I am with them for over 2 years now, they pay ur dividends on the exact date into your account.

ILLUSTRATION
Once upon a time in Aba, precisely in 1996, a well constructed and beautifully decorated 3Storey building housing tenants and a warehouse for packing imported goods was gutted down by fire, destroying houses within the building plus goods worth billions of Naira. A panel was set up to investigate the possible cause of the fire, but every attempt to unravel the puzzle led back to the conclusion that the fire was a mysterious one. At least it made sense from the context of African mentality, and the matter rested.
Few months after, 3 kids were playing within the vicinity and one of them said to the other 2: “This man has come again to burn another house”. The statement drew the attention of an older man and a meeting was called. Some youths were sent to bring the madman that the children accused.
During interrogation, the madman denied making a fire that burnt down the house. His next line of defense put everyone into confusion when he said: “I don’t know what you people are talking about”. He put his hand in his trouser pocket, brought out a matchbox and trucks a stick before concluding. “I just started a little fire besides this house, you people can go and find the person that started that big one”. That was all there is.

Nigeria was built on a tripod of lies, deceit, and hatred .
When Britain conquered the North, the Northerners refused to send their children to school because they believed in the system where one man is supposed to be the shining star (The Kings), while the rest comes to do “Rianka dede” and eat food or any other pecks. But the Biafrans were libertarians who believed in equality. They sent their people to school to learn the Whitman’s ways. After the Colonial masters left, the Biafrans held almost every clerical and administrative post in Nigeria as the educated folk, which was where the deep-rooted hatred started. The Suaduana of Sokoto in and interview said: “If there is any work to be done and there is no Hausa person to employ, we will give the job to an expatriate like you (referring to the white interviewer), but if there is none, we will consider other people like the Yoruba’s, but for the Igbos, No! They are too domineering, if you employ them today as a laborer, they will try to rise to be the manager” That tells you all you need to know. This same idealogy was the cause of massacre of the Biafrans in the North from in 1945, 1966, 1967-1970, through even to today both silently and openly. All they use it a good media story to bury it.

The discovery of oil and the supposed continued interest of Britain made them to handover Nigeria to the Northerners and reminded them that if they allow the Biafrans to go on their own, the Northerners will die of hunger because they were the poorest part of the country. So when the war broke out, reintegrating the Biafrans was the only option to keep the North surviving and the oil flowing to the Britain.

This write-up is not a history lesson, but an attempt to x-ray the main reason why Nigeria has never been one, and can never be one. Even Frederick Luggard in his report to the crown of England stated that: “Northern and Southern Nigeria are like water and oil that can never mix”.
Many years after the war, Nigeria continued to duel on the fire of lies lit by the British. They decided to hate the Biafrans for no reason. To achieve this, they started lying to the Biafrans in the Riverine areas that their problem was their brothers in the hinterland – the Ibo. It caused a division that made the Biafrans lose the war, while the North and the Yorubas gained everything, the oil and the glory. Then after the war, Biafrans were further divided with more lies of calling some parts Niger Delta, South-South, South East, Oil Patch, etc, and it has kept them divided for as long as possible while the cabals from the North keep sharing the oil money among themselves, leaving the Biafra lands undeveloped and in abject poverty. The deceit of the Nigeria government and their inhuman policies has made it impossible to survive in Biafra lands, same reason why the people of Biafra are scattered all over the world suffering untold pains, scavenging for a means to survive. Yet in their countless lies, the Northerners through the help of their Yoruba marksmen - brought an idea that the Ibo’s love money. With the help of their lying newspapers and media preponderance, they killed the brain of every Biafran and kept telling them that they hated each other. ONE Nigeria became the biggest of all the lies, because they all know very succinctly that the only thing keeping Nigeria one is the oil flowing from Biafralands and the continued oppression of the Biafrans, their subjugation and subjection to perpetual, abject poverty.

MEDIA PREPONDERANCE
One of the ways the Nigeria government has continued to spread hatred of the Biafrans by other Nigerians is in the craftiness and clear-cut interweaving of countless lies with the truth. They have over the years exercised total media blanket on the main issues of – Lies, Propaganda, Gang-up, Hatred, Tribal bigotry, Ethnic Bigotry, Sectional divides, Religious Divides, Insensitivity to people's plight. They keep saying the Ibos are corrupt, but it will surprise anyone to know that the greatest thieves of Nigeria had been the Hausas and the Yorubas that ever led Nigeria, whereas the newspapers cover their tracks for them. The examples abound. IBB, OBJ, Umaru Dikko, Buhari, Abubakar, Abacha etc are all confirmed looters with Dollars abroad, Tinubu, Atiku to name but a few are all under the covering of the countless lies of Nigeria Media, they all still walk free upon the weight of evidences against them. But every Biafran - man or woman that has ever looted are either languishing in jail in Britain or still being hounded. The British has been a very good madman in escalating the fire they had already started, even as the 3Storey building is almost fully burnt.

THEN ENTERS NNAMDI KANU
Kanu is the director of London-based radio station, Radio Biafra, which he founded in 2009 with the help of members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Kanu explained the station, which the Nigerian government deemed illegal, aims to "bring hope, enlightenment and knowledge to our people".
The Nigerian government claimed in July that the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) had managed to jam Radio Biafra's signal in Nigeria. But they only lied.
One thing the Nigerian government can’t condone is the TRUTH. When Nnamdi came with the truth to educate the people, it took just a little time for him to win the peoples’ mind because the truth came on air for the first time in Nigeria.
He says the things no one had ever said in the history of Nigeria, those truths that had been systematically buried and left to rot away. Nobody speaks about the Biafran war and the genocide so that the war criminals like Yakubu Gowon, IBB, OBJ etc will continue to walk free after committing countless heinous war crimes against humanity. It takes the courage of one courageous man to liberate thousands of courageous men. Through his truth telling courage, he brought his people into light and dissected bit-by-bit the many years of media lies of the Yoruba gutter media. The truths in his lessons include:
1. That our current President raped a 9years old girl when he was 45 (A fact nobody ever knew before then).
2. That Buhari on BBC Hausa Radio said: “an Attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North.
3. That the Northerners bring nothing to the table of Nigeria.
4. Our leaders – past and present are the real criminals and enemies of Nigeria.
5. That the people of Biafra were never at any time enemies.
6. That Buhari said that Abacha was not corrupt.
7. That Obasanjo said just recently that they would deal with Boko Haram the way they dealt with Biafra.
8. That Britain helped the Hausas to commit genocide of killing over 3million Biafrans while the world look the other way.
9. The list is unending and there is nothing he ever said that was not the truth.
People can only follow the light, not darkness.

CURRENTLY
The arrest of Nnamdi Kanu has continued to cause protest in the Biafra lands. In the normal way of the Nigeria oppression, they are shooting innocent women on a peaceful protest and clamping the protesters into prisons. To what end I ask? Why is the world still looking the other way? Are the Biafrans really part of the world where the Amnesty International and United Nations operate?
The British Government came to West Africa and put a little fire, went back to Britain and whatever that is happening in Nigeria now, Nigerians should go and find the cause.
The only problem now is that the crop of Biafrans leading this campaign is educated to the rightful meaning of the word education. As a result, the outcome of this impending doom will be completely different from the one in 1967, unless the world rises up to its responsibility. Freedom is an alienable right of every indigenous people on earth and Biafrans belongs the earth as well.

hayzee545:
My candid opinion: The struggle for self rule has and will never be a sin. At least that's how our nation got her independence. But, when such a struggle takes the format of treasonable offences e.g calling your Nation a zoo and giving her President disrepectful tittles, then it becomes a threat to national security. I have never heard the leader of the Catalunya independence struggle insult the King or Prime Minister of Spain. Why then does Mr. Nnamdi Kanu thinks inciteful statements will help his cause. All those who want Biafra should continue their struggle but, through legitimate means. As for me I remain proud of my Nigeria.

little brat, the question should have been, have you ever listened to the leader of the Catalunya during there independence struggle.

NOC1:
A group of former militants in the Niger-Delta region, under the platform of the Niger-Delta Coalition, said a fight against Rotimi Amaechi, the former governor of Rivers state, is a fight against change.

The ex-militants described Amaechi as the ‘Lion of Niger Delta’ who represented the ‘Change’ the All Progressives Congress (APC) stood for, Daily Times reports.

Led by their president, Young Piero and secretary, Toriomo Excel, the former militants on Tuesday, October 21 said they supported President Muhammadu Buhari during the presidential election because of Amaechi

The ex-militants said: “We supported Buhari-led APC because we wanted change. The Senate should know better that a fight against Ameachi is a fight against the progressives; a delay to screen Ameachi is against the peace-loving people of Niger-Delta and millions of Nigerians.

“It is time for the Senate to recognise him and some others who worked for the peace enjoyed during the last general election. The Niger Delta Coalition does not see any reason why he (Ameachi) has not been screened by the Senate. He is a leader, a coach, an instructor, a mobiliser and a motivator who put his life, family and the lives of many that believed in the struggle to bring about the change Nigeria is talking about today.”

They called on the Senate to waste no time in screening the former governor for his contributions to President Buhari’s success and for the benefit of Nigerians and Niger Delta.

The Senate has been deferring Amaechi’s screening since last week due to the inability of the committee on ethics and privileges to conclude investigations into petitions brought against him by senators from his state.

The screening of the former governor was scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, but it was deferred once again. Report has it that he will now be screened on Thursday.

According to a section of the constitution, unless the Senate confirms or formally rejects him by Thursday, October 29, Amaechi would automatically be sworn in as a minister upon the expiration of the 21-day constitutional deadline allowed the Senate to confirm or reject a ministerial nominee.

too cheap and stupid

mulattoclaro:
This is how to put an end to these cankerworms once and for all:

1. Use live ammo to quell tension

2. Any protester caught should be given a minimum of 10years imprisonment.

3. Give Nnamdi Kanu a public execution. Preferably by hanging or firing squad.

4. Deploy military men, fighter jets, tanks and some heavy artillery to the SE region.

5. Give a shoot on sight order for anyone holding the biafran flag, chanting biafran songs or even caught protesting or even found with anything biafran.

6. Block all supply route that these ipob youths might have access to. Whether land, sea or air.

7. Use air-strikes when the need arises.

P.S This is only for ipob youths and those biafran protesters and not for those hardworking or innocent igbos who do not share these foolish biafran dreams. Not all igbos are enemies of the state. I've been opportune to meet some wonderful igbos. Bit this treatment are for those biafran terrorists.

You were right, it has been moved to tomorrow (Thursday)

so I won

In the 80s, the ABS FM Stereo, Enugu, (Anambra State Broadcasting Service) adopted a “rising sun” as it’s logo. It had a flag with that logo. There was an order “from above” for them to remove it immediately!
I think that the word “Biafra” scares a lot of people especially those in power. It is a stumbling block to “One Nigeria” which is a cute way of saying “unimpeded oil flow”.
I would always say Biafra on my Facebook wall.
I still believe that I have the right to push for justice and for every people’s right to self determination. You cannot mistreat a man and then dictate to him how to react or how to vent. It is not by force!
Marriage is not by force. A forced marriage is doomed from the beginning.
Let me say without fear of sounding like a broken record, that I do not believe in One Nigeria as presently constituted. If subjugating me in Nigeria is the best way of keeping Nigeria one, then I would not subscribe to that.
If making a people live like slaves in a union would water the seeds of unity, I would then continue to stress that I have a right to disagree. I would support those that call for separation from Nigeria. You can’t continue to enjoy the suya when it is my flesh that make the suya possible.
You cannot take your dog to kill a game in the forest, only to come home and offer bones to the dog instead of meat.
One Nigeria should not be a slogan and a mantra of maintaining oil flow. It should be with terms. All must be at the table to hash out all grievances and gripes.
If Nigeria must survive in the 21st century, all must be carried along, and all terms clearly stated in a document called the Constitution.
You can’t tell Igbos (South East) that they can only have 5 states when every region has 6 and even North West have 7 states.
You can’t isolate Igbos from government, their children given limited slots in Unity Schools when they score highest in exams, qualified people playing second fiddle in ministries to ones with no qualifications etc and you look at me funny when I complain.
You cannot come to the South South, prospect for oil and leave their environment in ruins, pollute their drinking waters, farmlands etc and still isolate them from the proceeds of their oil; and not build schools, hospitals and other social amenities for them. Then you wonder why they agitate even violently.
This is not rocket science.
Like I said, if Biafra scares you, do the right thing. Eliminate the issues that make the call for Biafra and other quests for self-determination inevitable.
Justice must be done and seen to be done.

This is just saying you are no good

I think the first thing in one's life is to tackle foundational or primary problems b4 arranging the secondary. certifications, qualifications are all secondary, and mind you Biafrans are amongst the best brains you can remember, quote me anywhere. I respect anybody or group of people who know what they want and go for it.

If at all u cowards like this GOD forsaken country as u claim to, the best thing to do is to wish us well, because d more u wish evil d rugged we become and the international communities are observing.
