Na so!

NOETHNICITY:
I beg defer with you on this bro.
Unless someone comes out to claim ownership of those yams or a mutilated farm or something to show that some farmers ve been robbed of their farm produce, I prefer not to jump to any conclusion

Bro, pulling out tubers of yams from yam barns, cutting them to size and feeding cows with fresh yams?... Who feeds cows with full yam tubers (and not yam barks) besides someone who stole the yams?...

Are you by any means insinuating that those herdsmen in the video brandishing AK47 assault rifles are also yam farmers who planted and harvested those yams?... or are you suggesting that they bought those yams with money?... Or are you saying those are waste yams thrown away by the real owners (who even neatly arranged and covered them in barns)?

Bros, we not in a court of law where only submissible evidence or a number of testifying witnesses can be accepted. This one na common sense matter and what's in the video is very obvious in black and white; this is what farmers in the middle belt have complained of for decades about their farm produce being destroyed by armed herdsmen, and which actually leads to all the conflicts. No point being all defensive or legally right about this one cos we're not in a court of law where .

Nigerian Police: Okay, Mr Man, you see that tree over there?... start running towards it

Suspect: Abeg sir! abeg oga!

Nigerian Police: I say start running before I fire you!

*suspect starts running and 3 seconds later, Gbooaaaaaa!!!*

Breaking News! Suspect killed while trying to escape.

NOETHNICITY:
But there is no way we can confirm if that was what happened in the video
As much as I detest the disaster brought about by the maurading herdsmen, I think we need to sometimes interrogate the poisonous campaign against them.

Of course we cant say for a fact that it's Benue, it could be anywhere else. But what we all know for certain is that those yams dont belong to the herdsmen.

Hopefully Chief Umeh would be vocal when he gets to the chambers.

NonsoWow:
Ipods fabricating stories all the time. Where is the proof that this is Benue?

Even if it's not Benue, I don't think you need a soothsayer to tell you those yams dont belong to the herdsmen. Those yams definitely belong to farmers who were either chased away or killed by the herdsmen.

OKDnigeria:
It is a shame Buhari has proven to all that it was late Tunde Idiagbon of esteemed memory that was to be credited with all the successes of his 80s stint. Buhari has unwritten his legacy. 2019 soon cometh.

Sad...

But to whom shall Nigeria go to in 2019?

NOETHNICITY:
I m a Muslim but not a northerner and I do not hate the shittes
Although I do not believe in some of their doctrines but I pray along with them whenever I'm opportuned.

Yeah but I meant, why do northern hausa/fulani Muslims hate and disregard the Shiites so much?

Your eyes don open. Please, use your intellect to support restructuring or possibly disintegration. We are not one with these people.

Sorry there was never a time when my eyes were closed; my narrative has never changed.

amnesty7:
These are the kinds of policies of live and let live that are needed. Much as we condemn all these violence, the governor of Benue State was very immature in handling the whole issue. Banning an unforgiving set of people unilaterally, without exhaustive consultation outside the state or thought about possible consequences was the immediate cause of the violence. Matured minds like David Mark would never be that careless.

Nonsense! Absolute nonsense! The fulani marauders already killed thousands upon thousands ever before the banning of open grazing; now the devils are back to do their known stock in trade and you claim it's because of grazing ban?.... Kindly enlighten me on what is different between the killings pre-grazing ban and the killings now?

I have a piece of land on which I allowed you to graze your flock. You take advantage of my welcoming gesture and harm my family members and destroy my properties. I get fed up and then expel you from my land. What exactly is wrong in that?... Do I no longer have ownership or authority over what I can use my own land for?

The boldness though... and Benue elders are still 'WAITING' for govt before they form a state's vigilante group and flush the marauders out of their lands. Kontinuu waiting Pa Unongo, kontinuu waiting Pa Ortom!

These guys arent serious yet, they're still 'thinking', still giving conditions and still waiting for central govt when they should already be doing something.

There goes Nigeria's power supply...

DMathematical:
What you described is a reactive public relations strategy. It is not to be applied everytime. The media aides of the President are doing a very poor job in communicating his intentions if any.

Absolutely, the media aides are as clueless as they can be and have no business being in publicity. Even on twitter and nairaland etc, I've seen a lot of more sensible ordinary citizens who are 100 times better at govt publicity than the so called presidential aides.

Campusity:
Is Sagay not admitting the failure of the Federal Government under his idol PMB? The man who is in control of the military, the police, the SSS? Who does Ortum control? The boys the army arrested yesterday?

Sagay receive sense!

Those boys arrested by the army, if Ortom is a real leader, do you think he cant secure their release in less than 24 hours?

Wiseandtrue:
I hope all Nigerians can read this


Sagay welcome back! Thank you for resigning your post under Federal GOVERNMENT!

You are back to your normal self. Respect!

Sagay hasnt resigned from anywhere... Sounding the truth into the ears of Ortom doesnt mean he has resigned. If Fayose whose state is hardly affected by herdsmen crisis can set up a vigilante, what on earth stops Ortom from doing so and expelling all the fulanis in his state?... What kind of dirty eye sevice is he playing ehile his people are being killed everyday?... Why does he need to run to the FG fot help ehrn he can actually use his security vote to set up and arm a pseudo state police?

DearPeople:
Dear People,

Can you all see the dummies we have as leaders? Can we all see that Buhari is nothing but a plague to Nigeria and Nigerians?

Can you all see that these people would rather continue to give these herdsmen rooms to kill by blaming Jonathan? I am very sure Jonathan is responsible for the accident Yusuf had. In short, he bought him the power bike just so he can kill himself

There's a very simple and commonsensical reason why the current govt always makes comparisons with Jonathan; and it's because the loudest critics of the govt almost ALWAYS criticise by unconsciously relating every issue with GEJ amd 2015 elections.

If terrorist herdsmen equally killed so many under GEJ, let's be honest here, what do you expect the current govt to respond when its loudest critics always allege that herdsmen are killing today cos a fulani man is president?

Not exactly a statement tjat should be made by a govt official at this sensitive time though...

Why exactly do most typical northern Muslims hate their own Shiite brothers so much?... I may be wrong but I've never heard of the Shiites cause any major trouble.

omenkaLives:
What manner of nonsense is this?

Must everything be made public?

How about pictures of them smashing?

Smh.

Some bloggers recently released divorce rumours, I guess that's why she's had to release this.

erico2k2:
Amaechi started this share matter just as Ibori started the Oil derivative %. But loads of people here do not know the money was shared, and refuse to ask their own state govt what they did with their own share.@ 52% for FG, where did you get that from?? GEJ built power stations and we did not see any power improvement OK cool, so now do we have improvement? from what power stations? cos from last I checked, PMB has not built any power stations so far.

Sorry maybe I got the 52% figure wrong, can you kindly remind me what the correct FG's cut is in the revenue formula?...

Regarding power, the thread talks about huge sums of money being owed road contractors, it also talks about the bulk of the debt being inherited from the previous administration. Someone raised a question asking what all the large sums of money spent by the last admin was spent on seeing that most contractors were still being owed. Another person responded that a chunk of the money was spent building power stations. It was at that point I came in and mentioned that over $8B was spent by the last admin on power specifically, in addition to the $16B spent by OBJ, yet Nigeria still hasnt seen any considerable improvement in power supply. I dont remember mentioning anywhere that power has now improved.

SalamRushdie:
Ì

I hope you are aware that GEJ built more power plants thatn all our past leaders combined #fact

Lol.. Smh... another unsubstantiatable fable from the stables of the jonathanian ogogoro parlour bureau for statistics. In actual fact, Jonathan also built the 4 existing refineries in Nigeria; and lest I forget, Jonathan also built Murtala Mohammed International Airport.

SalamRushdie:
He built rail lines , power plants ,Paid subsidy which we refused him to remove, fought boko haram which northen leaders refused to condemn and Ameachi and co went to court to share the rest

The rail was built with a loan (which Nigeria is still paying for today), over $8billion was spent in the power sector (but Nigerians didnt see any power improvement), the chunk used for bokoharam war was looted by evil men in the corridors of power (we seem to have forgotten how soldiers kept lamenting of lack of common bullets), 36 state governors (not Amaechi) asked GEJ to release the share of ECA belonging to states cos GEJ was clandestinely dipping his hands into the funds for God knows what; at the end, FG still retained almost 52% of the ECA funds which it eventually still blasted on ghost projects, so that your Amaechi excuse is pointless.

So then, what exactly was all the money used for? Okay sorry I forgot to mention, Nigeria became the private jet sales capital of the world in 2013/2014 (even the president at the time bragged about the exploding number of PJs in Nigeria).

After the death of Rivers Notorious Kidnapper/Cultist Don Wanny, his Multi million Naira mansion has been destroyed.

Nigerians are just obsessed with destruction destruction and destruction!

There are numerous things that edifice could have been used for after being possessed by the government; but all we know how to do in this part of the world is destroy wealth.

Take it EAZI dearie..

Straight to mgbuka..

Freeze should be careful not to overstep boundaries into irrelevant territories. There's a thin line between being an objective critic and a hater who just feels a compulsion to criticise everything. I see nothing wrong with religious organisations selling religious literature (for profit) if they so wish. Besides, the sale of some of these materials is actually the main income earner of the authors besides any gifts they receive from their followers.

All these strange masqueredes sef...

LordAdam16:
How is it inconsequential?

If Buhari had done it, would you term it inconsequential?

Give Yar'Adua his dues. He nipped a disaster in the bud. Unfortunately, his hands were tied when it came to the NIPP. I'm certain he would have axed OBJ's flawed plan, and we wouldn't have had to spend $20+b to generate 2500MW.

What you termed inconsequential could have been abhorrently costly if Yar'Adua wasn't diligent.

It's like saying if Buhari did due diligence on GEJ's ATA and found it to be shambolic, trashes it, then setup a workable plan. Then what Buhari did would be inconsequential.

I don't know why you like to sound ret*rded.

-Lord

Look mister, I promised myself not to ever bother engaging you on this forum anymore cos I realised you are nothing but a troll.

So kindly carry on; you win, I lose, OBJ didnt initiate the railway modernisation masterplan, and he never negotiated any deal with the Exim Bank, Yaradua initiated it all... Bye!

LordAdam16:
The contracts OBJ signed was not the contract used for the actual project. OBJ's contract was trashed by Yar'Adua. Yar'Adua worked out another contract from the ground up. Read the article again.

-Lord

OBJ originated the project, brought in the chinese and negotiated the loan deal with the Chinese EXIM bank for the Lagos to Kano standard gauge rail line of which the Abuja to Kaduna stretch is just a part if it. Whether the contract was reversed or revamped or revived or redrawn, that's inconsequential and doesnt in any way change the story.

Facts of the matter:
1. OBJ conceived the idea and signed the loan contracts.

2. GEJ paid the counterpart funds and the Chinese came in and executed the project. So in summary, going by Nigeria's political logic, GEJ is simply the one who built the Abuja to Kaduna rail.

3. PMB paid off the final compensation sums and other miscellaneous sums and commisioned the project.

It is worthy of note however that with Nigeria only providing only about 47% of the total project cost at the time, PMB and other successive administrations are still the ones paying off the 53% loan chunk for the project. However, if PMB wants any of the praise (according to Nigerian political logic), then his government should try and expedite the Lagos - Ibadan track which he started.
