My friend I am from Niger Delta and so don't try telling me that this administration only hates the SEnwhen we know what he did immediately after being sworn in by ordering a military raid on a riverine community which obliterated every living soul.

Compare the total votes from the SE to that of the 5 Niger Delta state. Which gave Goodluck more votes? Where Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Delta were raking in over a million votes but Jonathan only got 500,000 tops from Anambra.

The 5% is the Niger Delta so stop trying to make it an Ibo thing when it wasn't

Don't tell me that the new military division being set up in the Niger Delta is to fight IPOB


Don't tell me that Buhari loves us but hate igbos.

We are not fools and know that if not for oil we would have been wiped out by the north.

So don't deceive anybody here with that crap.

ZombieNation:
This administration did not mince words on how he hopes to treat the so called 5 percent population in the SS and SE.

And what did Buhari's party do in Osun, in Imo and in Ekiti??

Did Fayemi - former Ekiti governor - not borrow #3billion Naira to build government house at a time when he was already owing 3months salary!?? Did aregbesola not run Osun into so much debt till he couldn't pay salaries for over 9months and even after billions of Naira in bailout funds he is still owing 4months salary till dateb!?? What about Rochas Okorcha that has sacked over 2000 workers, a man who is touted to have said that salary is a priviledge and not a right!!??

Has all the talk of change Buhari has promised made any meaningful impact in the lives of These people?

Does that nullify automatically whatever truth that Buhari has to say in Abuja!!

U see why I called you an unhealthy bunch of contradictions!?

I hope you are not a teacher in any school anywhere Ooh!! And for the sake of a bright future, please do not teach your children wrongly!!

The truth even in the mouth of a fool is still the truth; and a lie in the mouth of a wiseman is still a lie!!

The Messenger is not the message!! Learn to understand/distinguish the message as well as the messenger!!

As for the alleged "Sentimental PDP affiliation", its nothing but a myth. I don't have an affiliation to any party because no party in Nigeria has core, clearly stated principles that are unwavering - be they Umbrella wielder or broom carriers, or pineapple holders.

ehissi:
For the record, I am not a PDP supporter or an APCrian - for crying out loud I have never voted in any election in this country - so technically I may be tagged as politically neutral!!

This is His latest facebook comment!! Superior arguments and practical steps and not sentiments will get us there

"Are Nigerians aware the British PM only gets an annual grant of £30,000 for upkeep of his official living quarters? #‎BudgetCommonsense‬
How does Nigeria looks when we seek to borrow from UK to fund 2016 budget yet our expenses are higher than theirs? #BudgetCommonsense
I said except the President, we should all use personal cars because we look like fools if we spend more than our creditors #BudgetCommonsense
If the 2016 budget is passed as is, we will borrow ₦5 Billion daily. It will be irresponsible to spend debt on luxuries #BudgetCommonsense
Isn't it embarrassing to fly a Presidential jet to a country we want to borrow from and whose own leaders have none? #BudgetCommonsense
I practice what I preach. In chambers and publicly, I call for reduction in pay. I share my allowance with my Constituents #BudgetCommonsense
My name is Ben Murray-Bruce and I just want to make Commonsense!"

Love him or hate him; the truth is bitter!!

While under the jackboots of General Abacha not too long ago, the southwestern elites, led by pa Abraham Adesanya, Sole Soyinka, Bola Tinubu, etc etc, were all crying/wailing for a sovereign national conference to discuss and restructure the Nigerian federation.

fistonati:
The man aluko is a disgrace not just to himself but also to Fatherhood, his familes, parenthood, political institutions and to his conscience. If he had been made d Chief of staff he wouldn't have say ds against the party dt elevated him to d post of secretary of d party.

PDP may have had its flaws but believe me its everywhere but how u handle it is d most important as APC is having a piece of its own on Kogi state.

Aluko's singing to d camera because of threat or money may not take him anywhere but I pray the decisions he's made take him to places beyond his imagination.

Not only a soldier must remain a soldier even in threat but a civilian must remain a civilian but having a glimpse of commitment to what it does as soldiers do.

God bless Nigeria
God bless the Masses
God bless our hustles

From clean energy, to environmental pollution to the stella oduah scandal; Ben Murray bruce dey submit better parade Oooh, as far as balanced views and opinions on National issues is concerned.

Anyone believing TK ALUKO is probably on a long thing, UNAD ALUMNUS know better

2 things I noticed here; either you are a very unhealthy bunch of contradictions or you are not quite sure about what you are talking about; let me broaden your understanding!!

For the record, I am not a PDP supporter or an APCrian - for crying out loud I have never voted in any election in this country - so technically I may be tagged as politically neutral!!

Also Ben Murray Bruce is a Senator; and in case you are confused about what his job description should be as a senator.

Senators represent the interests of their states’ citizens, write and support legislation and vote on bills. They ought to divide their time between their home states and F.C.T and spend considerable time meeting with constituents and fellow lawmakers and attending Senate sessions.

In this age and time when Social Media is revolutionizing how we communicate; what better way to communicate ideas, relate with constituencies than twitter and facebook, instagram etc.

Ben is a known advocate for issues that affect not just his constituency but the country at large.

From scrapping of the Presidential Jet System, to cutting down the Senate budget, condemning the move by FG to place a media blackout on Dasuki's trial via a closed trial, Certain points of the 2016 budget e.g. The high budgetary provision for the Villa health centre compared to teaching Universities etc.

Wasn't it the same Ben who raised a motion for the payment of #5,000 monthly stipend for the unemployed that was viciously opposed by APC senators?? To the extent that even Lai Mohammed denied that Buhari ever promised to pay that stipend!!

If what you say in the first fews lines of your commentary is true - which I doubt very greatly - then we can count Buhari to be the most irresponsible leader. Why??
He is now the president and leader of this country but till now - 8 months after swearing-in - he has continually passed the bulk for the state of the Nation to Jonathan and I guess we all know and have noted his opinions which is why folks like you may have voted him in. Right??

At least we all know that he promised to make the dollar equals to a Naira but we are still working with him naaah; even though the pound is #400 and the Dollar is #297, abi no be so?? He also promised to pay #5,000 monthly to Unemployed graduates nor be so!!?? He also promised Nigeria, in his address given at Chatham House in London, that nobody who is corrupt or has issues of corruption will serve in his government - I guess that excludes Amaechi - abi nor be so!!??

For the record, in the context of public opinion or human interaction, the definition of noise is relative. What one person will call noise made by a baby, another may call a cry for help or hunger.

The same applies, what a politician may call noise, a trial judge may call facts of a matter. This informs why opinion must be rated outside the realm of sentiments, so as to get a balanced perspective of issues as discussed.

Fact!! Ben Murray doesn't make noise. The fact that someone doesn't share your views/opinion on a matter doesn't make what they have to say noise!! That is actually the exact definition of someone who isn't open-minded.

Incase you are still not sure what noise means. See below: -

noise  (noiz)
n.
1.
a. Sound or a sound that is loud, unpleasant, unexpected, or undesired.

b. Sound or a sound of any kind: The only noise was the wind in the pines.

2. A loud outcry or commotion: the noise of the mob; a lot of noise over the new law.

3. Physics A disturbance, especially a random and persistent disturbance, that obscures or reduces the clarity of a signal.

4. Computers Irrelevant or meaningless data.

5. Informal
a. A complaint or protest.
b. Rumor; talk.
c. noises Remarks or actions intended to convey a specific impression or to attract attention: "The U.S. is making appropriately friendly noises to the new Socialist Government" (Flora Lewis).
tr.v. noised, nois·ing, nois·es

I'm very sure that with this your comment, you dont have any tangible contribution but,to just comment and get 'likes or share' from the traffic of this platform. This man was just a common man like you and me during Jonathan's government. So, now that he his an opinion leader,try to grasp at least,common sense from his perception.

ehissi:
Obviously you forgot that Ben Bruce just became a senator in 2015 here; I can understand your seemingly strong aversions to the person of Ben, but I believe the issue is not whether ben bruce said it or lai mohammed said it. The issue is, is it true? Yes or No?

The fact that ben bruce or PDP said it, doesn't make it a lie. And if at all you are current, then you would have known that even Ben bruce has once queried the senate budget; so keep calm and recognise a man who does it right!!

An average yoruba thinks that Abia state is far away from their imaginary SS; not knowing that Abia is a walking distance to Rivers and Akwa Ibom. Many of them don't even know that Abiriba people in Abia trace their origin to Akwa Ibom...Ibibio. Ask them what people are in the picture attached? They will tell you...SS.lol. These are Abiriba Igbo people oh. Yoruba...keep wasting your time and energy dividing us
