Eziokwu...... and your wonderful camera that was capturing DMGS junction since 25th May could not capture it.

You should ask around and you will find out that SS3 students are writing NECO exams already since 21st May. That does not translate to schools opening.

Schools are on MID TERM BREAK IN ANAMBRA. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT

They have now abandoned Borno Oil wells, is now bidda Niger State.

In Akwa Ibom, we don't search for oil, the oil search for us...

Akwa Ibom Crude alone can take care of Africa.

Not to talk of...

Rivers
Delta
Bayalsa
Akwa Ibom

Produce 80% of Nigerian crude...

Imo
Anambara
Edo
Ondo

Makes up the remaining 20%

The North produce 0%
But keep parasiting on the oil.

Resources control is the best way to go.

meccuno:
you can never get 80% oh! not just possible.

"The greatest fraud/theft the world has ever know was perpetrated by the romans and the British"

Pls Britain, bring back all our stolen artifacts. You are still keeping thousands of them.

Is it your own?. Ehn answer me?

You took us slavery, took our territory and now you give us freedom. True Freedom is not given.

If we are free then why are you still stealing from us?... Why can't you leave us alone?

Must we be gay like you?.. Is it by force? You also want to steal our morality?

Please you have your own sculptors.. Pls return our piece of art before I.......

I can bet the doctored video and the "leaks" are all emanating from Saraki.

Yes the IGP stammered embarrassingly, but the video was looped for sure. The speed with which it leaked...

The IGP and the SP are in a tussle, SP has given him some nasty uppercuts.

Transient Global Amnesia : A person having an attack of TGA has almost no capacity to establish new memories, but generally appears otherwise mentally alert and lucid, possessing full knowledge of self-identity and identity of close family, and maintaining intact perceptual skills and a wide repertoire of complex learned behavior. The individual simply cannot recall anything that happened outside the last few minutes, while memory for more temporally distant events may or may not be largely intact.[1][2] The degree of amnesia is profound, and, in the interval during which the individual is aware of his or her condition, is often accompanied by anxiety.[3] The diagnostic criteria for TGA, as defined for purposes of clinical research, include:[2]

The calls for amnesty for extremist group, Boko Haram, received a boost yesterday.
The Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, implored the Federal Government to consider the possibility.
Though the cleric gave some conditions that must be met before the amnesty is granted, he urged the government to address poverty and corruption before a meaningful turnaround can be achieved.

He warned the government on the precarious nature of state pardon for some convicted persons.
Onaiyekan, in his Easter message, said: “As regards the case of an offer of amnesty to Boko Haram, I believe that we should not discard the consideration of such amnesty.
“Faced with an intractable problem, we have to explore all possible avenues of solution.
“The security response in terms of arms, gadgets and trained personnel is useful and necessary, but obviously not enough on its own.
“The Federal Government will do well to reach out to all political forces and currents, so that the nation can be on the same political page and jointly address this common menace.

“Poverty and unemployment, which are cited as excuses, need to be addressed – and this boils down to the critical issue of good governance at all levels.
“The call for amnesty would seem to me quite appropriate and even necessary.
“I see the call of the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, as an invitation to further discussion and dialogue among Nigerians to sharpen the focus of government action in this matter.
“That discussion has started, for which we should thank the Sultan and his courageous proposal.”
He listed dialogue as a condition to be met by the group. This, he said, include repentance and amendment.
“Before it is eligible for any amnesty, Boko Haram must at least admit that it was wrong to kill innocent people, whatever may have been its grievances.
“If this is not done, it could well continue to feel that it did the right thing and perhaps, it is the rest of us who ought to beg it for pardon.
“As for amendment, it is impossible to bring back the dead.
“But at least a gesture of repentance and apology goes a long way to assuage the sorrow, the hurt and wounds of those who have been hurt and bereaved.
“In such a dialogue, government would be well advised to involve the right kind of people, across board. It should certainly include religious leaders.
“Furthermore, we need not wait for every terrorist to surrender before engaging those who are ready to repent and reconcile,” he said.

On state pardon for convicted persons, the cleric opined that it is an issue that must be carefully weighed by the government in such a way that the laws of the land would not be compromised.
Moreover, he posited that to grant state pardon, some level of genuine repentance and sincere readiness to make amendments must be established.

“Boko Haram may claim to have all kinds of grievances. But the fact is that it has killed innocent people.
“How does the state forgive murderers? How can the government grant amnesty to people who have killed innocent citizens, some in their places of worship?
“The pardon to politicians who have been convicted of criminal misuse of power and massive corruption raises the issue whether the state should pardon someone who has stolen public funds.

“Obviously, the state must handle very carefully whatever powers it has to forgive criminals, otherwise the whole structure of law and order in the society will be seriously compromised.
“There may be political considerations but these cannot be allowed to overthrow moral imperatives.
“This does not mean that the state cannot forgive moral wrong doing.
“It has been done in other countries that claim a high level of democratic culture.

“But it seems to me that in order to do this, there must be at least two conditions, namely genuine repentance and a sincere effort to make amendments.
“Let us see how this applies to the two cases under discussion.”
