gidgiddy:
All the more reason for you people to support Igbos having a seperate country of their own

But unity beggars no go gree

gidgiddy:
It's not for Igbos to grant anyone independence, Igbos don't own Nigeria

But I don't see any Igbo complaining about an ethnic group, but still fight to be in the same country with the ethnic group they are complaining about

If anyone feels that any ethnic group has a supremacist agenda, support that ethnic group to go their way as a seperate country, rather than insist on being in one country with them, and keep complaining forever

Makes no sense

Is this negligence?

The Pan Niger Delta Forum has cautioned proponents of the Biafra Republic against including communities in the Niger Delta or South-South geopolitical zone in their secessionist agenda.

PANDEF issued the warning in a statement released in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, signed by its National Youth Leader, Donben Donyegha, and sent to journalists.

The apex socio-political body of the Niger Delta distanced itself from the Biafra agitation, emphasising its commitment to a united Nigeria built on equality and justice for all citizens.

“We therefore warn that the continued inclusion of PANDEF areas or communities into the so-called Biafra Republic is provocative and tantamount to an insult to the leaders of the Niger Delta region,” the statement read.

Donyegha stressed that the youths of the Niger Delta would resist any attempt to incorporate the region into the secessionist agenda.

“Any further attempt to disregard or belittle our leaders with provocative publications or pronouncements about the Biafra Republic, including Niger Delta towns or territories, will meet strong resistance from us, the youths.

“They are hereby warned to desist from it. The Niger Delta is not Biafra. PANDEF believes in a united Nigeria where no citizen is treated as second-class,” he added.

The forum reiterated its vision of a Nigeria where subnational entities control their resources and remit taxes to the federal government for essential services, including homeland security, territorial integrity, and international diplomacy.

“We strongly believe that Nigeria can only achieve her potential through these principles. PANDEF remains committed to engaging both federal and state governments to ensure the vision of our founding fathers is realised,” Donyegha stated.

Highlighting the region’s historical stance, he noted that while the 1964 Constitution provided a framework for true federalism, subsequent military coups and the 1999 Constitution represented a departure from those ideals.

The forum also praised its National Chairman, Ambassador Godknows Igali, describing him as an intellectual of international repute, underscoring PANDEF’s credibility and dedication to its cause.

In conclusion, PANDEF called on Nigerians and the international community to recognise and respect the Niger Delta’s stance against being included in any secessionist agenda.

“We believe this caution and warning will serve as a wake-up call to agitators, whether within Nigeria or abroad, to act responsibly and refrain from provocative actions and behaviours,” the statement added.

Dele Farotimi has enough evidence.

The cases cited are cases which involved Dele Farotimi in person and he had always waited for this to happen.

Afe Babalola just fell into a trap.

False and senseless statement.

Is this supposed to be one of his dry ass jokes?

MadPolitician:
Telling millions of struggling igbo traders that they have to show a tax ID before opening a bank account is evil. Tax is essential for a country to grow. But when we have a government rooted in nepotism, a government that concentrates its work on some favoured sections of the country against others, paying taxes to such government becomes a foolish act.

You concentrate the activities of the bank of Industries in the south west. You take all the juicy positions in government, in civil service, military and co, then when the igbo graduate that couldn't get a job in any agency finally sells his father's land to start a petty business, you show up for tax! That is after you might have mocked him for his "2 by 2 shop".

Thunder fire you dia

Tax Id has always been one of the requirements to open a corporate or business account in every part of the Country.

Meanwhile, hundreds to thousands of victims of the bandits are in IDP camps.

Any End of Year Forex Contest?

I don't think it's reversed, but withheld.

The Transport Service management may need some reorganization.

The former chairman of the Bank of China, Liu Liange, was on Tuesday sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for corruption and illegal issuance of loans.

He was found to have accepted bribes worth over 121 million yuan ( $16.8 million), a court in Jinan city in China's eastern Shandong Province said in its verdict.

Liu was deprived of political rights for life, all of his personal property will be confiscated, and all his illegal gains must be recovered and turned over to the state treasury, the court sentence read, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

The court found that Liu had taken advantage of his various positions at the Export-Import Bank of China and Bank of China, respectively, to assist others in matters such as loan financing, project cooperation and personnel arrangements -- while illegally accepting bribes in return.

Moreover, he was found to have knowingly facilitated the issuance of loans totalling more than 3.32 billion yuan to unqualified companies in violation of legal rules, resulting in a principal loss of over 190.7 million yuan (about $ 27 million), the court said.

Liu was the second prominent Chinese banker to have been punished for corruption.

On November 20, China's ruling Communist Party expelled Lou Wenlong, a former vice president of the Agricultural Bank of China, from the party for corruption.

Lou was found to have deliberately resisted the investigation of his case and violated the Party's frugality code by attending banquets that were paid for using public funds or that may influence the fair execution of official duties, the statement said.

Also on Tuesday, a public prosecution was initiated against Wang Yixin, former vice governor of Heilongjiang Province in northeast China, for allegedly accepting bribes.

The Heze Municipal People's Procuratorate in China's eastern Shandong Province filed the case with the city's intermediate court following an investigation by the National Commission of Supervision.

Prosecutors allege that Wang abused his positions in Hainan and Shanxi provinces to secure benefits for others in exchange for bribes described as "extremely large," Xinhua reported.

Since he came to power in 2012, Chinese President Xi Jinping has carried out a massive anti-corruption campaign in which over a million officials, including two former Defence Ministers and dozens of top military officers, were punished.

Kukutente23:
When did Reno become Yoruba

Same ancestral origin.

'Yoruba' is a relatively more recent identity adopted by some of the people from the same origin.

There are many 'tribes' or groups who may not be called 'Yoruba' today, but are of the same ancestry.

Instead of Engineers

Fumigate your house and environment.

Keep your mattress under the hot sun also.

It appears you develop hypersensitivity reaction (Type1) following bites from bed bugs or mites.

Whenever you get such reaction (wheals +/- pruritus) go to a clinic for evaluation and treatment.

Another common cause of this reaction is ingestion of food items to which certain individuals may be hypersensitive.

RealLordZeus:
FG shouldn't pardon them after the resignation
..
Write to their respective embassies to demand their punishment or extradition

Wickedness must be met with appropriate wickedness

Modified..

The Nigerian Collaborators should also be jailed
..coz the scam won't be possible without an internal collaborator

The annoying part is these set of hypocrites will be lamenting about how spoiled Nigeria is abroad despite being the sole beneficiary

That was how one guy took specta loan from sterling bank and japa..

After many writing to him and he refused to pay, they wrote the Canadian embassy and the idiot was deported back to Nigeria and place on visa ban

You can imagine the effect this would have on the already high unemployment rate and low productivity.

I've always maintained the average Nigerian needs a mind/orientation reset.

The world saw images of severely malnourished detainees in court the other day.

Which other evidence are the suegbe lawyers making noise about?

This video is over two years old.

Make una calm down.

False info

I'm yet to see any worthwhile investor who would take risks based solely on lies.

Besides, multiple investors come into the Country at various times to make assessments; see things first hand.

Rather than bother those who speak the obvious truth, the so-called leaders (and followers, if useful) should focus on basic things: insecurity, poor infrastructure, wanton corruption.

Kaido:
He was my lecturer back in Uni days.

At FUGUS?

These louts can't carry their stupidity to Abuja.

2027, dem plus their oga go pack their kaya dey go back.

Extradition loading ...

Most Generals and senior officers I know abhor such behaviour.

The so-called general in that video is a huge disappointment.

Disciplinary measures should be taken.

This one has to be the worst IG so far!

1.3 million!

Rubbish! Obasanjo's administration has been the best so far.

Lol. Colonise? Using the likes of MC Oluomo?

Kwankwaso, calm down!

Well, indiscipline on the part of some members of his congregation.

He even requested phones be set aside earlier.

You can imagine such indiscipline inside the church where the individual(s) may be seeking 'unwarranted favours'. These are the same set of people who would for whatever reason refuse to join queues in the mall, fuel station, disobey traffic laws, etc, but expect their leaders to sacrifice for them. Some even carry their kids along while acting irresponsibly.

The average Nigerian needs thorough reorientation.

Your phone should be mute/silent when in places of worship, lectures, meetings, when you visit official/office spaces.

This separates the enlightened/cultured individual from the average mediocre!

Mille:
Because of Oranmiyan, Son of Oduduwa. The authority of all the Obas of Benin were based on being a direct descendant of Oranmiyan and Oduduwa. Hence the Benin monarchy carries the bloodline of Yoruba ancestry.

True.

In addition, historically, the major Kingdoms in what is called 'Yoruba Land' today were the five listed: Oyo, Benin, Ife, Ijebu, Egba.

Even Taliban no dey kidnap reach like this.

In your own Country, held captive for 6 years within same Country?



NB
She even escaped, not rescued.

What's going on with our military?

Bobloco:
Sworn in yesterday, and flagging off a road project today without contract bidding, no contractor, no environmental impact assessment, etc. Just like that.

Monday Okpebholo should stop playing to the gallery and cool down. He doesn't need to engage in this kind of razzmatazz just to be seen as working. He has four years ahead.

All that had been done during Obaseki's administration. It would be a waste of scarce resources to re-embark on such exercise.
For reasons best known to Obaseki, actual work on ground had not commenced before the end of his administration.

Good
