Fine point you make here my brother. Whatever happened to Northern Solidarity and being your brother's keeper regardless of what he has done wrong? So what if many died because of the looting of these individuals? Does Buhari not know this is the Nigeria way? Why should he be insisting people pay for their corrupt looting of our treasury and wealth? Northerners must now be regretting their vote for "change" because Buhari is now prosecuting their elite rather than giving them each brand new and freshly cut keys to the CBN vaults. This Buhari sef !!! What a nuisance.

\why pour sand for people garri ? Why can't Buhari just learn from GEJ and mind his own business? Why not look the other way and let 'awon boyz' eat? Is school fees in top UK and US schools peanuts? Does the man not understand the billions that must be stolen to fund that lifestyle? Northerners and "Yaribas" una see ya life? The man you voted in is demanding accountability and you are the major victims being hounded left, right and centre. Non of this would be happening under GEJ but you stubborn people insisted on change. Oya enjoy your 'change' then. Yeye people.

Unfortunately for the as usual misguided, self self serving, attention seeking OP and his hateful, bigoted, caustic and abusive friends, freedom of speech is not absolute, it doesn't guarantee you the right to incite, promote violence and hatred.

1. In many advanced democracies especially in nearly all of europe, they have laws on their books against hate and defamatory speech, incitement and promotion of violence which is what the lawless biafra agitators do on NL all day and everyday on NL.


2. FB is a global online platform, but they don't tolerate or allow hate speech and incitement on FB so why should NL allow you to promote such ugliness.?

3. In Canada, you get 2-14 years in prison for hate and incitement.

4. In South Africa, hate speech (along with incitement to violence and propaganda for war) is specifically excluded from protection of free speech in the Constitution.

5. Sweden prohibits hate speech, and defines it as publicly making statements that threaten or express disrespect for an ethnic group or similar group regarding their race, skin colour, national or ethnic origin, faith, or sexual orientation

6. In the United Kingdom, several statutes criminalize hate speech against several categories of persons. The statutes forbid communication which is hateful, threatening, abusive, or insulting and which targets a person on account of skin colour, race, disability, nationality (including citizenship), ethnic or national origin, religion, or sexual orientation. The penalties for hate speech include fines, imprisonment, or both.


Again, freedom of speech is not absolute and it doesn't arrogate to you the right to hate, incite and promote violence against other people.

I'm not sure if this is a reflection of the OP's well known inability and lack of capacity to differentiate between right and wrong or he's just trying to pander to his hate based congregation on NL., either way, his unfortunate write up spells ignorance, intellectual laziness and poor judgement.

Some oil marketers in Abuja
have predicted intense cases of
fuel scarcity in the coming days
across the country as well as
pin-pointing the major reason
behind the fuel shortage.
The fuel crisis took a dramatic
turn for the worse, yesterday, as
massive queues were seen in
almost all the petrol stations
selling the products in Abuja,
according to the Vanguard.
Also, some oil marketers, who
spoke to a correspondent, blamed
the prolonged scarcity on the
insincerity of the Federal
Government and called on
Nigerians to expect a further
worsening of the situation in the
days ahead.
This was after a slight
improvement was recorded few
days after the Senate approved the
supplementary budget which was
to be used mainly for payments of
subsidy claims to oil marketers.
Some marketers who spoke to a
reporter blamed the renewed
intensity of the crisis on the fact
that they are yet to receive
payments for their subsidy claims,
a situation that had made it
difficult for them to purchase the
product.
Specifically, one of the marketers,
who spoke on the condition of
anonymity, wondered what is
delaying the payment of the
claims, while he accused the
Federal Government of not
showing concern for the plight of
Nigerians.
The marketer disclosed that
Nigerians should expect tougher
days ahead, stating that if the
subsidy claims are eventually
paid, it would take days for oil
marketers to access the funds,
place order for the products, get
the consignment and start
distributing the products to all the
nooks and crannies of the
country.
He said:-
“Nigerians should hold the Federal
Government responsible for the
sufferings they are currently
passing through. This government
was aware of outstanding subsidy
claims from their first day in office,
but they had to wait for six
months, until Nigerians could no
longer bear the suffering in silence,
before they took any action”.

Because he destroyed all records of his looting when he was head of state.

wirinet:
I know you are just using sarcasism. You are not only Igbo, you are IPOB Igbo. You look for the slightest opportunity to attack Yoruba people and culture, even in topics that have nothing to do with Yoruba. Only Kanu's people have such hatred for Yorubas.

It is a lie that many Igbo fathers would rather educate their daughters instead of their sons, the Igbo society has an obvious bias towards male children. The problem is that more female children prefer to go to school than their male counterparts. Many young males are in a hurry to make it and opt out of school to join business.

So because an Igbo man choses to educate his daughter should make the daughter a worthless slave to the father?
In order to give away the daughter, the father must recieve the refund of all the money he spent educating his daughter in the bride price. As if that is not compensation enough, the man still demand his daughter should still help him solve his financial and material problems for life, just because he educated her. Then at the end of the day, she is not worth a single inheritance from him. Meanwhile all these conditions are not placed on the sons, whom the same father spent money to educate and deemed worthy to inherit all the his properties.

so u want business to shut down first before u know there's fuel scarcity. ..apc goatees

FreeGlobe:
najoke

I don't know why you people are very foolish. I said provide a credible source like a national daily or popular online newspaper like I did. Until then, I stand by my statement. I'm not foolish like you to believe every junk news from shady blogs

FreeGlobe:
Fuel was never sold 400 naira per litre during PDP's 16 year rule. Buhari is a disaster. The worst president ever

NigerianEye also gathered that black market fuel sold as high as N10,000 for 25 Litres on Lagos Island

In Sango Ota, only NNPC opened on Thursday but fuel is been sold in the black market with 5 litres costing between N2,000 and N2,500.

Dear Boko Haram member,
The Russian pilots survived the missile attack on them by your Turkish counterparts by jettisoning their aircraft.
They were then summarily lynched to death by mob of peaceful muslims who showered them with so much kindness.

Yours' Truly,

Boko killer

RevDesmondJuju:
The dumb ass Erdogan wannabe sultan and financer of ISIS has biting more than he could swallow.

Here is a video posted on line by people of the religion of peace lynching to death the Russian Pilot that was shot down by Turkish jets today.


https://twitter.com/allsory_allhor/status/669093496624689152


I have always known that Erdogan was a jihadist Sultan wannabe, I just didn't know he was of the suicide bomber grade.

You can expect Putin to accidentally drop a few bombs in Ankara in and around the presidential palace any time soon.

ziccoit:
I watched the video over and over again and there was no evidence that people that gathered around the soldier "lynched" him. Their utterances and tone even show they are sympathizing with him. They seemed to be crying. Unless @op has evidence beyond this video, there is nothing in there.

This is not the kind of news ,we are expecting from a change mercenaries like buhari, tinunbu, ameachi.
But unfortunately, we have been scammed.
The zoogerian is crumbling faster that u can imagine.

Despite the continuous clamour and crusade against corruption by this administration. The real employers of labour are laying people off like mad.

Is Buhari really doing the right thing ? I am discombobulated.

That's the change for you

Oil rout: Chevron, Shell set to sack 8,000

Nigerian members of staff of Chevron and Shell are among the 8,000 pencilled in for sack by the two oil companies worldwide as falling oil prices take a toll on the firms’ profitability. A report yesterday by New York Times said that Chevron would lay off 7,000 staff in addition to the 1,500 it announced early this year.

Shell, according to Reuters, plans to sack 1,000 more staff different from the 6,500 it announced in the first quarter. Although the two multi-nationals did not give a breakdown of how many staff in their Nigerian operations will be affected, Chevron said on its website that Nigeria is “an important part of Chevron’s business globally,” while Shell, which is also the biggest oil firm in Nigeria in terms of assets and production, “produces substantial volume of its global output from Nigeria

IGBOPRINCE:

I read that statement twice bro. So funny.

and YOU EVEN READ IT TWICE AND STILL COULD NOT COMPREHEND ....GUY YOU NEED TO REFUND YA PARENTS.....

CHOI...IGBOPRINCE!!!!!!

"My grand mom told me that my dad was less than 7yrs old when the war broke out, and as little as he was then, he carried my uncle on his back and ran for more than 10 kilometers".
Is it that you guys can't comprehend this fellow or you choose to misinterpret & misrepresent him?
His UNCLE is his father's brother who is probably younger, maybe an age difference of 3-4 years, so it is reasonable for the Op to state his dad carried his own younger brother on his back.

Ramnon2:
If according to you an Igbo man like me no get common sense, na him be say an awusa/Fulani/yoruba man like you don die patapata

Ramnon2:
That question is for northerners to discuss. I am talking the one wey concern me, as an Igbo man. Not about drinking panadol for an hausa/Fulani man.

"My opponent, Ejiogu, took the floor when I had finished, and what did he say? "Ladies and gentleman, this is a crucial time in Nigeria when we should not allow a vocal minority to rule an obvious majority .
These words still ring in my memory because, as my opponent put it, they are crucial not only to me but to my people, the Ijaws. Most of the alien students walked out of the hall and it seemed as if a spell was cast on the atmosphere. The campaigns ended solemnly and the result of the election was again one way. Ejiogu won with his majority. The last minute strategy. A Cameroonian friend of mine, John Ngole, promptly resigned his secretaryship of the Historical Society in protest."

bettercreature:
It seems something is serious wrong with PMB because I wonder why only South/East has no INEC commissioner Because we 6 geo-political zone in the country....He gave the names of the national commissioner-nominees as: Mrs Amina Zakari from Jigawa representing North-West; Dr Antonia Okoosi-Simbile from Kogi, North-Central; and Alhaji Baba Arfo, Borno, representing North-East.

Others are Dr Mohammed Lekki from Edo, representing South-South and Prince Soyebi Adedeji Solomon, Ogun, representing South West.

segalex:
Bros, you should have done your research well rather than displaying your ignorance here.
The National commissioner representing South East still has some years to run on his tenure hence the reason why no new commissioner was chosen for the zone.

The problem we have is that wfollowers can't distinguish between sycophancy, Zombi-ism and followership. Hence, you see people applauding "whatever" is done by those they follow. So unfortunate
