It was unfortunate that Giwa was killed by Abacha. A very sad event my brother! Though I think the Mr Nice Guy is still needed but this time with intelligence

There's a saying that "freedom is not given, Freedom is taken".
The Mr Nice-guy period ended with the death of Saro Wiwa and rightly so. The mr nice-guy quality of GEJ didn't help either, imagine if GEJ was as ruthless as Obasanjo?

50% derivation or we give them nothing at all let them go to hell lol!!

Truth234:
You should have written this during GEJ administration, at least he grew up in that region and have first hand information of the situation. Yet failed to institute a permanent solution to their struggle or is there more to this than we are been told? 18% derivation is no joke if put to good use.

All the money that has been allocated to ND area since 1966 be it 1% or 18% is enough to develop that ND. The people of Niger Delta should start holding their own people accountable, not only the government. I don't believe 100% resources control will change the situation.

OrlandoOwoh:
Sanusi said $20 billion was missing. Okonjo-Iweala said it's $10 billion. How come PWC is saying it's $1. billion? Why is it that the PWC only carried out forensic auditing? Why not a probe? Heads will roll.

Na your head go roll

1995 Environmental activist Mr Ken Saro Wiwa was killed by Gen Sani Abacha.

I still remember how sad my dad was when this happened. Now they have the likes of Asari and Government Ekpemukpolo to deal with, No-more-mr-nice-guy attitude.

Bring it on.

barcanista:
That one just de yarn nonsense.

Can't stand that slowpoke.

barcanista:
That really irked me. As in how did they even imagine that such a request will be granted? It was only to spite the SS region

Lets just hope Buhari is not as steww--pid as we think. They destroyed their region using boko haram, let them foot the bill.

yousouphe:
Temitemi1 & mogidi come and see what ur onechance Hero and role model have done ooo

Bros point me to the $48billion dollars Sanusi said was missing?

Jesusloveyou:
as i alway say-gej fail nd bigtime,if ur son fail to develop ur region,did u want outsider to do it,what happen to pib and resource control,even to clear-up d environment,gej fail woefully,he make us suffer more than what other region wil do to us.we are not suppose to clamour for what wil benefit few family but d region,what benefit did gej presidency bring to south south,just for militant and his cronies.

Were you expecting President Jonathan to develop only the ND because he comes from the ND, have you taken time to find out how governance works?

I normally don't reply id.iots but heck its Tuesday.

The North wants 5% derivation for producing jackshiit, what era do these people live in? They should request the 5% from boko haram, they supported the sect initially.

torkaka:
. . . . . . . . . I am not against the ND, read my post again . . . . . . . . . . .I am against green snakes like the OP who want to make themselves relevant at all cost with selfish intent . . . . . . . . . .Jonathan from the ND was president the past 5 or 6 years, don't you think the period would have been the best time to bring up all these ND nationalistic talk? . . . . . . .why the sudden realisation after the loss of Jonathan? . . . . . . . . .should we tolerate incompetence because he is 'brother'?

If Jonathan had done it he would have been seen as the president of the ND. The best time to agitate for resource control is now, it's our prerogative to start agitating for resources control when we feel like it. We don't need outsiders telling us when to start fighting for control of our resources, its our prerogative. Harness your useless views alone, this thread is not for your type.

Asari carry go, nothing do you, let Buhari fly boko haram flag at Aso rock from MAY 29th.


If I can find the Biafran flag I would fly in it my house in Edo state, we were conned in the Mid-West to support one Nigeria in 1967.
"One Nigeria" is the biggest scam of Nigeria's minorities to date, the Hausas (to a lesser extent the Yorubas) are the ones that need one Nigeria.

The Mid-West had a plebiscite in 1963 and voted to leave the Western Region, we should have had another referendum to decide if we wanted to remain in Nigeria.

He deserves to be impeached, let him live on the billions he reportedly got from Tinubu to decamp.

He deserves to be impeached, let him live on the billions he reportedly got from Tinubu to decamp.

How can Buhari share power with Tinubu? Did Nigerians vote for Tinubu?

He deserves to be impeached, let him live on the billions he reportedly got from Tinubu to decamp.

The national Assembly budget for 2015 is N120bn, enough to pay the salaries of 555,555 people at N18,000 per month.

This was why Tinubu installed Remi Tinubu in Senate, if Remi can't be made Lagos state governor, Remi can be made a NASS member, another Tinubu son inlaw is in the HOR.

Buhari should start his corruption drive from NASS.

barcanista:
That is very good. Baba remember that you must seriously audit the NNPC books and let's see who between Mallam Sanusi and Allison was truthful. Meanwhile a reputable audit firm categorically said that the "unremitted" fund wwas little over $1 billion. "Note the word unremitted and not missing".

Meanwhile, remember to probe Petroleum Development Trust Fund of which Obasanjo and Atiku were both indicted by the Senate.

Baba you should also probe Transcorp Deals perpetrated by Obasanjo and his corrupt allies.


Baba Be prepared to work with Nyesome Wike in probing Amaechi when evidence start coming.

Baba remember the Saraki case. The allegation against Fashola by True Face of Lagos. That against Sylva among others....


Baba we are wtching...

Pricewaterhousecooper already laid the issue to rest with their audit report. The senile Daura President still believes Sanusi who initially said a whopping $50billion was missing.

I wish him luck on his witch hunt journey.

MzJackBaueress:
Moses,what was the useless topic about again?

You sure say you don eat today?

This memory loss taya me o, abi Buhari no dey pay you again?

MzJackBaueress:
I didn't say anything o! You are the one assuming nonsense. Did I tell you I was planning to harm him?

Anyway,[size=15pt]when it happens[/size],make sure you fight for him.

You didn't imply anything yet you retorted "when it happens", why are you so sure something is going to happen to him if you were not privvy to information you're refusing to share with me?

kITATITA:
He didn't raise any issues. If he wanted to draw comparison; he might have compared Buhari with his principal who came to government without shoes but leaving after stupendous and voracious acquisition; including appropriating government lands in Abuja. He stated that Buhari has houses in Kaduna and Abuja after being Petroleum Minister, GOC, Head of State and head of PTF. [size=15pt]Let Barcanistar state how much his principal has acquired.[/size]

Why don't you do the research yourself and show us proof that GEJ acquired wealth beyond his means?

MzJackBaueress:
you haven't answered my question Moses. Will you be there to fight for him when it happens?

I would be there to assist the police with evidence.

I go tell olokpa say na berem.

Anyway why would it come to violence? Are you Buhari supporters already irked by the criticisms he's getting? This is just the beginning, get used to it.

SeverusSnape:
I'm already my own man. Defending someone else doesn't make me another man.

Na badbelle dey worry egift, he won't get over barcanista's defection.

MzJackBaueress:
when it happens off nairaland,I hope you will be there to defend him.

[size=15pt]SEE PAINMENT[/size]
Are you planning on kidnapping barcanista?

Hold berem responsible if anything happens to barca.

kITATITA:
Barcanistar is losing objectivity and balance in his analysis. I tell analysts to avoid emotions in their work. Buhari is NOT yet the President and Barcanistar is already dressing him on corruption toga; making false analogy between him and Mr. Obasanjo. Buhari has not failed in any campaign promise because he is not in power yet. Barcanistar seems to be on a free fall; and his reputation is being shredded with every word he writes. Good thing is that he has enough friends on Nairaland to help him in his redemption.

[/s]

barcanista is not the subject of debate here, counter the issues raised.

Anyone expecting Buhari to govern without any criticism have another think coming. We will be here to remind him of all his promises, just waiting for Buhari to wave his magic wand and fix all Nigeria's problems.

daresma93:
please expatiate on the favor buhari is extending to him by appointing head of the transition commitee because [size=13pt]as i see it ahmed joda is the one doing buhari a favor by heading it commitee[/size] because he can turn him down but he did not which is a virtue hard to come by these days

So Nigeria is so bereft of experience and ideas hence Joda was called upon to provide his experience and expertise? Seems like a perverse incentive for 90yr old Shagari to make a triumphant return.

Baba Shagari we need your experience and expertise please.

Go find out the age of Senator Kennedy of the US when he died, and the number of tenure he served. Go check the faces of the men in the UK House of Lords.

Kennedy came from from "America's unofficial" royal family, dude used his family name to boot.

As for the U.K, half of the "peers" in U.K house of Lords are people who inherited those titles.

Unlike the elected House of Commons, most new members of the House of Lords are appointed. Membership of the House of Lords is made up of Lords Spiritual and Lords Temporal. There are seats for 26 Lords Spiritual who sit in the Lords by virtue of their ecclesiastical role in the established Church of England.

PDPwayoo:
F0.0lish man. Lagos state is one of the states with highest revenue for federal govt. Taxes from cooperate and multinationals companies as well as tariff from wharf is more than what Asari state can produce.

Alright feed on the revenue your region generates and don't come begging for monthly allocations.

PassingShot:
With all the pipes blown up already coupled with the oil bunkering going on in ND, why has the economy not gone up in flames?

How much do you really know about how things work?

Stop bloviating, the level of pipe vandalism could be increased if he orders it.

arbitter:
When you basically create a thread ranting about Buhari everyday before he even assumes office then you are DEFINITELY not giving any constructive criticism, you didn't do it before the election and you certainly aren't doing it now.

Here's a tip, no one 'reasonable' cares about your rants, they didn't before the election and they certainly don't now. So you can keep accusing Buhari of sponsoring BH or whatever (as if we never heard that before the elections) , calling him names or mocking him (this is actually the lamest because it is expected and actually NORMAL for any leader), and whine about $1, free feeding or whatever that still wont turn his supporters against him, its all just to makes you people that HATE him (and yes its definitely hate) feel good about yourselves. Your votes didn't make him win so don't come here telling us how you expect him to do wonders or you'll stone him or vote him out because i am willing to bet my House that even if Buhari does well you people WILL still hate him.



I'm totally confident in Buhari and couldn't care less about you or any of your fellow 'haters' telling me how i have been scammed or how Buhari will fail, besides all you ever kept posting before the elections was how GEJ will win blah blah and how did that work out for ya ?

[size=4pt]Note to self: Copy paste this on any thread created by this gang of PDP apologists.[/size]

Next time you need to preach, do it at your local mosque.

OrlandoOwoh:
Na cement or weight lift them dey carry for transition committee meetings?

But the task requires some modicum of being in good physical health, this guy is a geriatric that would be wheeled in at close of discussions to rubber stamp the committees input.
Monkey dey work baboon dey chop, Buhari is only rewarding his friends from the 70s, I don't think Nigerians expected that.

PassingShot:
A sensible man judges the outcome and not the input. And if you must judge the input, judge the quality as represented by qualification and wealth of experience not age.

Hope you learn.

Are there no capable hands to head the transition committee rather than this octogenarian?
