SHINJA: What the people of Ebonyi need is good food and jobs not airports..How will airport help the poor people of Ebonyi state?
Instead of providing jobs for them you are busy building airport while most of the youths from Ebonyi state are busy hawking lacasera and gala by the road side of Lagos...
Aufbauh: God is indeed not ungodly! I've said it time without numbers that if the crude oil deposit we've had in the Niger delta was to be in SE, these people could have burned down Nigeria by now.
If it were to be in the North, nothing could have happened as they would have freely shared with other part of the country without noise.
Apart from religious intolerant, the North is not known for greed, shortchange, cheat, selfishness etc.
There was an agricultural revolution those days, the North did not keep back. Have you ask yourself why most Nigerians from other part prefer doing business with them? It's simply because of their openness.
We saw their generosity towards our collective good played out most recently during the Covid-19 donations (CACOVID). How many substantial donors come from your region? If it's unhealthy competition among yourselves then they'll like to show off small cash in their villages.
you mean the way they are sharing GOLD in Zamfara state
Kaandi: Earlier I had to 'hurry' to Abuja for something very important. Considering the hike in flight fares, I reasoned that the cost of a return ticket could take care of some other exigencies, and decided to go by road.
About 30km from BN Ceramic Industry in Ajakuta in Kogi, we saw a queue of vehicles parked by a small village and we had to join. We learned that there was a kidnapping operation in front, and while trying to question the intel, we noticed there was no vehicle coming from the opposite direction.
About 45 minutes later, we heard a gunshot followed by sporadic shootings and the Locals advised us to take cover as the kidnappers may be fleeing and can shoot on sight.
It turned out that an escort Hilux with armed police officers accompanying a Prado was passing and the armed officers were shooting to 'clear' the road.
As the Prado and Hilux drove pass our vehicles, the officers made gestures that the road was cleared, as well as drivers of other vehicles that followed from the opposite direction.
Less than a Kilometer from where we queued was an empty Sienna with the doors left open, and there was a lifeless body.
I already had a panic attack when I heard the gunshots, and up till now, I'm still thinking of the empty Sienna. What if the driver was a father who may never get home to his family? How about the others in the vehicle? Their families will probably wait in anxiety until the bandits call and demand for ransom. Some may make it out, some may not.
Probably if the 'big man' in a Prado with escort Hilux wasn't passing, we would have had to wait longer for a patrol team to show up. Or what if the bandits had decided to advance towards us in a middle of nowhere?
My beloved country is fast becoming the Somalia we used to hear of, and it is sad that in Nigeria, no one takes responsibility for anything. It is sad that instead if seeking solutions to the devastating insecurity in Kogi, someone like Governor Yahaya Bellow is defacing the entire state with Billboards of his Presidential aspiration. It's sad that in 2023, we may end up voting in another senile dullard. It is sad that we're almost helpless. I'm sad, I'm angry and worried if this is the country my children will come to grow in.
mine was in PH. I was kidnapped in egui in Eche, River state on 29th of September last year. It was a terrible experience I never wish an enemy. I don't always like to talk about it because it was terrible. Rainfall would have killed me in the forest. The most anoying this is police reaction. Pls be security conscious now. No one is ready to protect you. Be your security I tell you there are many unreported case of kidnaping in this country
Raxxye: The lawmakers inserted that controversial section not because they love Nigeria or Democracy, or really want to get things right, but obviously out of their own characteristic selfish interest.
Good one. That is what you see when the people trust their leader. But I think we should identify one project like electricity or sea port and finance it instead of just contributing money
FreeStuffsNG: Most of the Senior Nigerian Army Officers I know have this handwriting. I am not surprised. I once asked one of them if they are taught to write this way in Nigeria Army or NMS.
There are so many things those low self esteem negative-minded unpatriotic Nigerians do not know about Nigerian institutions. That handwriting is the handwriting of Major Gen Muhammadu Buhari(Rtd).
stop disgracing yourself this is not buhari's handwriting. Propaganda don't help our economy. Below is his signature
DaveHarry: Joe Igbokwe, an aide to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday, March 22, disclosed President Muhammdu Buhari's handwritten message at Ibeju Lekki, Lagos, where he commissioned the Dangote Fertiliser Plant. President Buhari wrote the note after the tape cutting ceremony of the multi-billion dollars project which will unarguably act as a catalyst for Nigeria's economic boom. In the message, Buhari said the project very well aligns with his administration's drive to better the lives of Nigerians economically, especially those of farmers. He added that the commissioned plant proves that with visionary and enterprising citizens, nothing is impossible for Nigeria. The brief message written in legible but cursive handwriting read: "The Dangote Fertilizer Plant I just commissioned is consistent with the effort made by our administration to transform the lives of the farmers, increase their incomes and save the country precious foreign exchange."
Nigerians react However, a lot of Nigerians on social media have reacted to the post by Igbokwe with varying concerns and takes. But some other persons believe the president is a man of integrity and as such, cannot lie with some as petty as handwriting. Read the reactions on Facebook:
Amb Kuseme: if he should write this beautiful then why the country this way? Is there anything we are unaware ♂️ i’m asking for my brothers in Igbo land." Arome Attah: "Without light, fuel and the general hardship for naija, na who good writing dey epp? Ehn, na who?" Samuel Omolola Edema "Hmmm. I thought the quote is "nothing is impossible with visionary leaders..." Our president said "nothing is impossible with visionary citizen like Dangote ... " Isorite." Ralph O. Ahanonu: "Samuel Omolola Edema. Dangote is both a visionary leader and visionary Nigerian citizen and entrepreneur. "That's not in dispute. If PMB had set out to quote the author verbatim, he would have used inverted commas/speech marks/quotation marks to denote this. He preferred to write something slightly different. I hope you re not insinuating it is a slip/mistake." Segun Fagbemi: "This is the handwriting of a septuagenarian? This is too perfect."
why do Nigeria love propaganda. This is not buhari hand writing. Go to online and google buhari's signature, pay attention to where buhari wrote YOURS SINCERELY
What will be the faith of our children in the future? I think we need to start dealing with our leaders (African leaders) to seat up and start planning for the future.
Let me predict the future for our leaders since they don't have Sense.
In the future and very near, the continent Africa is going to be taken away from the indigenous people of Africans. There is going to be another çolonialism.
Please watch this video to have an idea of what may befall Africa.
they know this will happen that is why they want to use governor umahi to deter others from decamping. The should first cost problem and factions in the party before decamping so that the law will not hold them
gidgiddy: This is the politics section. When someone never discusses politics, but only comes to the politics section to talk about IPOB, then you dont need to be told that the person is just an online miscreant
udele is playing politics 101 with the north unknown to him that the north can never trust him. They are only using him to achieve their goals and after they have finished using him, they will throw a hook inside his throat which he may find difficult to vomit. They will settle his case and blame it to ESN. The people that are using him can never trust him. Even the drug lord kill their business partner.
The problem with udele is that he don't read good book. I want udele to read the THE PRINCE and some of ROBERT GREEN BOOK. I forgot to say IT IS ONE THING TO READ AND ANOTHER THING TO UNDERSTAND.
Stevenson1: Why No be Anambra money him use build am abi na him own money?? Soludo better behave oo. Make him no allow all those money hungry bastards spoil his tenure for him.
I think I support it. Let all politicians build legacy for themselves. Infact I think every politicians should start naming his project after himself so that the future generation will compare there performance
