kingar:

What is this one saying. When has review become defamation. Don’t you buy things online? How else was she supposed to give a honest review of a sugary tomato

Kusu12:


I have lost count of other tribes including Igbo who are permanent secretaries and working in civil service in Yoruba land. You can take your economic stake to your barren region! As if you are forced to leave in Yoruba land.

bejick:


That have been working in Anambra since his youth service days. I tired of this Nigeria. Separate No, stay together No.

Pristine664:
Finally one Yoruba permanent secretary...


And there is a reason why this is a news. 😂

Mr. Comprehension, how did you glean my region from the comment?

Tragedy struck in the early hour of Friday in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital when gunmen reportedly killed five police officers.

According to sources in the area, the unfortunate incident occurred around 5 am at Ebyia Bridge, along Hilltop/Nwoke road.

The Ebonyi State Police Command has yet to make an official statement regarding the incident.

thesicilian:

There's nothing sensational about it
The content supports the topic
Eastern men are dying in droves from unknown gunmen and the women are sex starved.

It also noted that thousands of young people had been killed in Igboland since 1999, when restiveness became pronounced in the region, just as many had fled the rural areas

Anambra1stSonTV:

Gov Soludo is dualizing, Iweka road, Ekwulobia, Okpoko road, Unizik temspite to Isuaniaicha, Arroma to Ifite, two flyovers etc

mrvitalis:

Like how u ignored the great depression, world War and china question

Mayflowa:


You cannot even read few sentences but you want others to do full investigation. Typical Nigerian

Sleekfingers:




Did you read the post at all?

mrvitalis:

Bros ok when u govern your state borrow n invest in fine infrastructure

Leave me alone

I don't why Africans are so stubborn

After during the great depression how did America recover it's economy? By building infrastructure?

After the world War the money America gave Europe was used to build infrastructure?

Did China start by building infrastructure? Or helping it's businesses grow first then built infrastructure as demand increased?


See eeh let Africans continue to build infrastructure then end up paying people to use them

Tinapa failed, obudu failed, all free trade zone failed Lmaooo

mrvitalis:

Infrastructure doesn't cause development
Infrastructure comes as a symptom of development

Another thing is you don't grow by allowing foreign investors in to your country

You grow by supporting local industries to become multinationals

I get this things are difficult for u to get

Akwa ibom have one of the best infrastructures in Nigeria yet is depends on Abia with one of the worse infrastructure in the old eastern Region... This is enough to prove my point

mrvitalis:


Africans want to do what developed nations are doing... Instead of doing what they did when they where in our stage of development

You don't need national grid electricity to industrialize at all go and look at what caused each of the industrial revolution those are what you need

Machines, gas, and internet that's all with gas any serious company can produce electricity cheaper than national grid ... I have proven this in my factory over and over I have debated here on naira land... Yet people who don't own a business think you need power you don't


If the infrastructure is needed and their is a market for it the private sector can come in and build

mrvitalis:

Firstly I have ran a factory for 6 years, and I have never been connected to nepa.. It runs on diesel... There is little or no advantage of using national grid over your own generator

Problem with you guys us you don't think, you don't read, you don't research

You don't create and industrial hub by building trains with borrowed money... How many free trade zones do we have in Nigeria... Why are they empty?

Aba it's what it is today not because of government but because of a group called People's club of Nigeria who decides to invest in the people by training and settling them

Yes I know it's completely over your head to comprehend I get not everyone is smart enough

Infrastructure is good sure but borrowing money to build infrastructure is suicide you would never recover from the poverty trap ... That's exactly how Africa got this poor

mrvitalis:

Providing cheap and easily accessible credit for businesses SMEs to access use to expand and grow

As thru grow they employ more and pay more

This is what obi has been saying

mrvitalis:


Yes sir you don't develop by building infrastructure you develop by improving the average earnings of your people

When your people are rich enough, infrastructure would naturally follow as they would pay enough tax to easily build needed infrastructure

mrvitalis:

Nothing happened, just a project done without business environment study

Nigerians are too poor for such project, the percentage of Nigerians that can patronize such business are too small and widely spread to make such business a success

Is like building a 5 star hotel in say Osun or ebonyi or sokoto village and asking what killed it

Nigerians like shinny projects and don't care about their viability

Cocoa house, Buhari rail lines, Lagos blue and red lines, most state airports... Same rubbish Otti wants to build in Abia

Nigerians need to go and watch 2019 Osibanjo vs Peter obi debate again... That was were obi won me over

You don't develop by building infrastructure, malls, rail system etc

You develop by investing in your people access to credit, building basic needed infrastructure like few roads, hospitals and schools

Once the population is rich enough infrastructure would naturally come up

If Nigerians GDP per capita was $15k n above tinapa won't fail, in fact we would have 50 more

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Thursday said the December 15th judgment of the Supreme Court regarding its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, was not a unanimous decision of the judges.


Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB, said the delay in releasing the Certified True Copy, CTC, of the judgment revealed the discovery.

The apex court dismissed the Appeal Court’s judgment that dismissed and acquitted Kanu of terrorism charges.


In its ruling, the Supreme Court had ordered Kanu’s case transferred back to the Federal High Court for continuation of trial.

However, a statement by Powerful reads: “The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great and indefatigable leader Nnamdi Kanu would like to take the unusual step of publicly commending the three brave justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria that sat on the panel that considered the case of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for their refusal to sign the written judgment.

“The judgement read on 15 December 2023 was not a unanimous decision as the world was led to believe. It has subsequently emerged, following the unlawful delay in the release of the CTC, that three justices are in disagreement with the tone and wording of the verdict so declared and have declined to append their signatures to the written judgment.


“In effect, the judgement as read on the 15th of December 2023 is a minority judgement and therefore illegal. A Supreme Court panel comprising five justices can not allow the issues under contention to be determined by only two justices.

“The courageous decision of these dissenting justices will go a long way in repairing the colossal damage done to the image of the Judiciary when it held that present and future Nigerian Governments can continue to violate the sanctity of the territorial integrity of an independent sovereign nation, kidnap, torture and extraordinarily rendition political activists, contrary to local Nigeria laws, international treaties, conventions and covenants which Nigeria is signatory to.

“According to a knowledgeable and highly dependable source within the Federal Ministry of Justice, the three resenting justices, despite enormous pressures from Aso Rock and leadership of the Supreme Court, said they would not wish or want their names associated with a flawed judgement that purports to announce to the whole world that Nigeria’s Supreme Court is a supporter of executive lawlessness, impunity and international banditry.


“Their concern for the sanctity of the rule of law and rules based international order precludes them from exposing themselves, and the Supreme Court of Nigeria to international ridicule and possible sanctions, because no court of law anywhere in the world has allowed its government to put on trial a kidnap victim extraordinarily renditioned from a foreign country since 1973, over half a century ago. For a Supreme Court to ask her government not to obey international law and treaties is a dangerous precedent which does not bode well for the advancement of natural justice and quality adjudication in Nigeria.

“One of the justices went as far as to say that he does not wish to be tagged a terrorist because there is a law in Nigeria that criminalises disobedience to validly signed treaties. Section 2, subsections (3)(f) of the Terrorism (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022 is quite clear that disobedience or refusal to obey any international treaty or resolution to which Nigeria is a party, is an act of terrorism.

“This law was written in simple readable and understandable English. Any justice or judge that seeks to encourage the Nigerian government to ignore her own laws and treaties, as the judgement read on the 15th of December 2023 purports to imply, is a terrorist. That is the position of a key provision of the law. This is the simple reason why we have the unlawful delay in the release of the CTC by powers that be at the Supreme Court.”

Aloy Ejimakor, the Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has accused the Supreme Court of violating the constitution by failing to release the Certified True Copy, CTC, of the ruling involving the agitator.


In December, the Supreme Court had ordered Kanu’s case remitted to the Federal High Court for consideration of trial.

Quoting Section 36 (7), Ejimakor said the Supreme Court should have released the CTC within seven days.


In a statement he signed on Wednesday, Ejimakor said: “Today makes it Thirty-Three (33) days after Supreme Court delivered the final judgment in the case of Federal Republic of Nigeria versus Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“Following the delivery of said judgment on 15th December 2023, applications were filed for the release of Certified True Copies (CTC) of the Judgment and the enrolled Order. But to this day, the Supreme Court is yet to comply.

“This failure to release the said CTC is a flagrant violation of the Constitution that entitles Nnamdi Kanu to be issued copies of the judgement within seven days of the delivery of the judgment on 15th December 2023. It is a fundamental right and thus enforceable.


“Section 36 (7) of the Constitution provides that: “When any person is tried for any criminal offence, the court or tribunal shall keep a record of the proceedings and the accused person or any persons authorised by him in that behalf shall be entitled to obtain copies of the judgement in the case within seven days of the conclusion of the case.

“It will be recalled that the Supreme Court had, in the said judgment, ordered that the case be remitted to the Federal High Court for consideration of a trial.

“To be sure, the Federal High Court cannot proceed with consideration of any trial without the certified judgment and enrolled order. Similarly, Kanu’s lawyers cannot proceed with his defense without the CTC of the said judgment and the order.”

The performing artist recently was a guest on the latest episode of the podcast, Tea with Tay Podcast, where she candidly shared insights into her personal life. With a smile on her face, she described what it was like living in a blended family with a Yoruba father and an Igbo mother.


To her, home was simply home, and her parents were just "mum and dad." Growing up in what she called a "shielded" environment, young Yemi Alade did not realise the cultural disparity between her parents. At the time, she said she was completely unaware of the stream of differences between both cultures outside her home.


She began, "I didn't know that there was a difference growing up. First of all, I just had my mum and my dad. We were one of those families that had uncles, aunties, and cousins living with us. My dad was that kind of person, so we had people around."

Continuing, she recalled how people outside tried to categorise her into either ethnic groups and not always in the nicest ways.

"I was not aware of the cultural differences until later, especially when people started arguing if I was Yoruba or Igbo. Some people would say 'Omo Yoruba' or 'Omo Igbo,' and it wasn't said as a compliment. That's when I noticed that there was a difference in cultures, and being born into a Yoruba and Igbo family isn't so common. But one thing I got to enjoy about being in a multicultural family is the food. I get to eat both Igbo and Yoruba delicacies," she added.

The singer attributed her deep appreciation for cultures and Africa to coming from her blended home.
