Political Activist!

What exactly is the definition of political activist?

Meanwhile regarding the case, any sane mind knew the case was dead on arrival. The so called 'killer punches' relied upon by PDP were just too lousy. Imagine hoping to upturn a presidential election on the basis of some cooked up results which were admittedly stolen from a fake inec server? And then the second punchline being that Buhari has no WAEC result so therefore should be disqualified (meanwhile he has certificates higher than WAEC).

Even the lead PDP counsel in the person of Ozekhome was even heard few months ago explaining how the cabal would prevent Osinbajo taking over from PMb in 2023; with such a comment, did anyone still need special cerebral intervention to know the supreme court case was a waste of time and resources?

Nice one! Efe can't even afford bicycle after the show!

You no dey see wetin Mercy carry for back?... What does efe have?

Buhari has since overtaken GEJ for that position as the most insulted Nigerian president; pmb took over the record in less than a year of his presidency.

Meanwhile GEJ received so much fire because he was the first democratic president to have real opposition.

I am not Flabagasted it is still this Op with a Nomenclature of a wanted Terrorist. Always writing Jargon and Sh!ttious things. Smh

I swear down! When I opened the thread and saw the write up, I was first disgusted by the fact that of all the things any preacher or teacher should teach about in this endtime, it is this nonsense. And then I saw the name of the OP and lo! it is the same ol 'Pastor Baghdadi' guy who's fond of coughing up weird biblical concepts and insulting everyone who disagrees. That dude is a special case.

omenka:
But why do you presume those two arent legit hustlers?

There's not a chance in God's green earth that those fellows are legit.

Where has the federal government trying to black mail them
Second Niger bridge is a Right not a privilege ...these are Igbo's threatening them won't work
That's all I said

Oga stop this your continuous tribal chest beating nonsense, it's disgusting. All over Nigeria, when projects are carried out by state and federal governments, host communities always make demands for settlements. Nobody comes out to label it a fight between the FG and their tribe; stop sounding ridiculous by making it a tribal contest with this your "you cannot intimidate Igbo" statement you keep repeating. You keep making it sound like someone is waging war against you, that is just absurd and childish.

Meanwhile you keep talking about FG usurping people's land to build this road, but can you substantiate this claim? Cos when I visit google to check, all I see are host communities demanding more employment for their indigenes or asking Julius Berger to donate one project or the other to their communities. This nonsensical sense of entitlement needs to stop, especially when it begins to involve halting project work; we can't be asking for development and then when development comes, we begin to harass contractors for stipends.

mrvitalis:
The villagers are demanding to be compensated for their land taken ...and if I don't feel that's the right thing to do then u have a problem

I'm Igbo not ipob ...threatening Igbo's for demanding their right ( compensation for land ) makes Ipob look right after all

First of all, I asked you why you had to keep tribalising this. This isn't the first time or first place we would hear of host communities complaining of either lack of compensation or insufficient compensation; so I'm not exactly sure why you keep making it sound like it's an Igbo thing, or a deliberate attack on Igbos. All I see in all your comments in this thread is the unfolding of an IPOB reasoning pattern.

mrvitalis:
Oga I'm Igbo first before Nigeria ...I can't allow my people to be intimidated

Yes! keep chasing and harassing contractors carrying out infrastructural projects in the region. I guess that's the wisest idea you could come up with to defend Igbo land from perceived enemies #Iberiberism

mrvitalis:
If u can't see the hatred of APC towards Igbo's then u are blind

Would u be happy if ur region is treated like south east

And the FG complaining of communities disturbing contractors is what you now cite as tribal hatred? This is actually coming from a fellow that has spent years casting aspersions on IPOB online warriors; now your reasoning is even becoming worse.

Besides appointments, can you please highlight the so called treatment being meted out to the SE which other regions are not suffering from?

mrvitalis:
They never said they are not open to negotiation ...the company has opened dialogue but if FG think they can push Igbo's around then they are joking

Stop this your Igbo this, Igbo that, Igbo, Igbo boasting and chest beating thing; it's needless, it's sickening and just disgusting. The issue here isn't an inter-tribal contest so quit making it look like some inter-tribal war.

mrvitalis:
They are demanding for compensation for their land ...their land

Not settlement ..government can blackmail all they want settle them for their land

N50bn compensation for a N130bn bridge all because a 3 lane road crosses your community? How much of land is actually even taken to build a road through a forest? And for this minor reason, a bridge that has been the subject of protest and demand for several decades is about to be jeopardised and we are yet to see the governors, senators, reps members etc making any comments or encouraging common sense to prevail.

If Igbo communities want to adopt this madness that has perpetually retardedd development in the niger delta, then so be it. I wish I were buhari, I will divert the funds to other numerous uncompleted projects in other areas where the people prefer infrastructural development to payouts. Development cannot be forced!

tiwiex:
I agree. It looks high handed for the FG to ignore the existence of people on those hands and at the same time screaming people welfare. Person wey u don evict get welfare? 100b is a fraction of the project and sounds as a fair demand for compensation. Dem no plan compensate before?

Building an expressway through a community, and then a bridge over a river. The highway may cost roughly N5bn and the bridge costing N130bn. But you want FG to pay compensation of N10bn to 5 communities (i.e. 5*10bn = N50bn) for a N140bn bridge project?... You want more than a third of the project cost to be paid as settlement to communities because a road is built through their land?

mrvitalis:
Lol u expect Igbo man to give u his land for free ?

Which government takes peoples land without compensation ?

That might be their only land ...we don't have luxury of land like west or north

Who ever told buhari and APC that threats moves an Igbo man is lying to him .,...the more u threaten n intimidate the more determine the Igbo man become .

If u can't compensate the land owners leave the bridge

Bros Vitalis what nonsense are you talking about? When did this directionless ipob styled irrational retrogressive chest beating start from you?...

How does any human encourage or defend this madness from communities demanding settlement from contractors?... You were once an ardent apc man, but your parting with apc isnt a reason why you should throw common sense to the wind and start reasoning from the bum like we've seen some ipob members do here frequently. This matter has nothing to do with apc or pdp or buhari or any politician; this is a matter of infrastructural development in a region and a sensible people do whatever it takes to drag development to their region, even when it means making sacrifices.

Go to Warri and see how that once thrivung city has now become a glorified shithole all because of this senseless sense of entitlement by youths and community chiefs making endless demands from companies, individuals and governments before carrying out projects. Wake up tour senses bro.

BuhariAdvocate:
That is very wrong.Government should know that the issue of community chasing away contractors that refuse to compensate them not just started today. Its a long tradition in our society. I'm expecting the contractor's to settle the community also government should wake up to their responsibility by providing job to the youth Because if they are living fine they will not ask contractors for money .

What exactly do you mean "contractors should settle communities"? How exactly in 2019 do we still have anyone encouraging this bastardic behaviour?.... This is exactly the reason a once thriving city like Warri is now a shithole withh all companies deserting it by the day; you want to build even a hut and 1000 lazy youths foolishly invade your site demanding millions in "DEVE" claiming the govt did not give them stipends for doing nothing and here we have enlightened people still glorifying this retrogressive madness?

Are they the only communities in the country where their youths dont have jobs? Why dont they go and look for jobs? Must government do everything for you? Govt wants to build a hospital in a community lacking a hospital and the youths and chiefs block the contractor asking for settlement first before the project can proceed. How can any normal person support this kind of retardedd behaviour?

I wish I was the president. I would make it very clear that if any community disturbs contractors, that is the permanent end of that project; the project will be moved to other communities where the people have a sound mind and want development not 'settlements'. The communities loosing projects can wail till thy kingdom come; development will never be forced on FOOLS.

ijewejones:
This man performed well in state level as a governor..

I wonder what & why he isn't performing well @ the federal level

Is he afraid to voice out as against wen he was abducted or is there too much money in federal level for him to stay mute

A governor is an independent emperor who reports to no one. A minister is a mere appointee and subject of a boss.

What exactly do you want Ngige to do as a mere employee? Does he have to pick a megaphone and placards and start protesting against his employer before you will agree he's doing some work?

Bundaweber:
can we compare the people who are living above or in poverty with those countries to Nigeria?

How exactly did the governments in those countries build the vital infrastructure with which they lifted their people out of poverty? Did those governments do it without revenue? Did they achieve all that with the people paying no tax?

Opyz:
That's how I received this message from my network:

"Please note that from Oct 21, we will charge N4 per 20 seconds for USSD access to banking services. Thank you"

This man is determined to make life extremely difficult for the common man and very soon he would be asking for charges for the air we breath. Is this the next level he promised? Buhari, God pass you!

There is nothing wrong with taxation; Nigeria's tax to GDP ratio is extremely low, one of the lowest in the world. We keep comparing ourselves with developed nations but aren't ready to pay a microscopic fraction of what people in those developed nations pay in form of taxes.

4 naira or whatever isn't really going to kill you or make life "extremely unbearable" as you claim, I dont see how that makes anyone a devil. The only thing I am worried about, and which you should be worried about, and which we should talking about is whether the money collected can ever be used efficiently..

IVM is okay please... no need for any change.

Are you are saying the power stations you mentioned above were started and completed by GEJ? FYI, every single power station you listed above was started under OBJ!

Some were fortunate to have been completed and commissioned by GEJ, but several on that list are still incomplete and haven't added a single MWh to the grid. Was my English grammar difficult to understand? You said Buhari is the only president who hasn't started and finished a power project and I simply asked you to mention examples of such projects started and completed by GEJ; I didnt ask you to list projects started by OBJ and completed by GEJ.

Meanwhile Aba power station is a private investment by Geometric which was started during the OBJ days and was completed in the GEJ days; keyword there is 'PRIVATE'. Till date though, it is yet to be commissioned (for whatever reason). How exactly is this then a project started and completed by GEJ?

Or is it AFAM VI? that power project was started in the days of OBJ and it is owned and operated by Shell. I remember personally visiting the site in 2007 when it was already at an advanced stage. How then did this project which has been in operation since 2008 make your contrived copy and paste list of projects started and completed by GEJ?... You obviously get too excited from the numerous 'likes' you get from our bunch of ignorant lazy Nigerian youths who don't know how to use Google to verify info.

FarahAideed:
Gej initiated and built more power plants than all other presidents combined ..Please research

What kind of falsehood is this?... Is this the result of ignorance or intentional sycophancy?

Kindly name the power plants INITIATED by GEJ, and then we shall talk of the level of progress otlf the plant till date.

FarahAideed:
This is what Buhari couldn't build a single one in 6 years ..Fact check : Buhari is the only Nigerian leader without a single power plant to his name despite being Head of state in the 80s and democratic president for 6 years .. If that's not failure I don't know what is !!!!!

Name one nigeriqn leader that has started and completed a power plant.

donbachi:
Stop sounding wicked..they says [b]"when one door closes,another one open[/b]s"...buhari did not open another one.

The above statement doesnt say the person closing the door will be the one opening the new one. It only says another will surely be opened. One thing about the statement though is that the new opening is usually better and will be for the good of Nigeria.

The hatred most of these northern elite have for Igbos is bizarre.

My problem is someone committed treason (picked arms against the state ) and tell me they have repented ...what happens to the people they killed ...what happened to the of fence they committed ...

Repentance now frees u of crime ? ....someone explain because this is rubbish

U treat this ones like this that has killed civilians and army

Then shiits,IPOB and sowore that has not killed a soul are criminals right ?

judgementyard:
I weep for you NIGERIA

Unfortunately, that's how civilisation works, you cant be too emotional about it. Or what do you guys suggest? That their throats be slit? Or that they be put in a gas chamber and gassed to death?....

The mistake started from having them captured in the first place instead of killing them in battle. From the beginning of time, when opponents surrender in a war, some silly war rules says you have to treat them well as prisoners.

What the foreign countries Nigerians are doing to Nigerians warrants that the boarders be closed. At least they will know how important we are in promoting their market and in boosting their economy. PMB all the way....

A little correction there.

Why do people always feel the need to make this statement whenever they see throwback pictures? What do those pictures have to do with money?...

He looked very well fed and clean in that picture but was probably 10-15 years younger then. Do you guys expect a person not to change with age?

komekn:
So what happened to Ph, Warri and Calamari ports that are TOTALLY UNDER UTILISED.

This makes no sense WHATSOEVER beyond the usual siphoning of public funds to politicians with very deep and corrupt pockets.

Are you suggesting that the Cross Rivers state government should spend Cross Rivers state funds in building seaports in PH and Warri?

The people unhappy with the vehicle should go knock their useless heads against a wall... Maybe if they all die, Nigeria may be left with reasonable humans who understand the importance of patronising Nigerian brands.
