Fayose will go down the history of Nigeria as one politician who confronted the menace of Fulani herdsmen by introducing the ban on open grazing

Funny enough, the policy seems to be very very effective in Ekiti. I wonder what other crying southern (and even northern) governors are waiting for...

But for crying out loud, what exactly is the benefit of being a Jew?... What's all this campaign about being jewish or not got to do with anything?... If DNA test proves a positive link, would it then force the fiercely racist Israelis to love the Igbo ethnic group or would it make Israel come down and start developing alaigbo?

As weird as it may sound, a lot of people were obviously excited over the sad incident, especially with the hausa/fulani narrative; such sad incidents serve as a booster to the ipob campaign...

No wonder a lot of ipob adherents seem very sad over the new 'drug lord battle' narrative and wouldnt be having any of that. It just has to be hausa/fulani by all means; anyone who thinks something else must be a fool.

And then comes FFK, he definitely has to give his new magas something to masturbate on.

kirchofff:
Imagine the amount companies spend on power generation, its so outrageous. But why hasn't our power be fixed all this while, is it that there's not enough money or no go contractor could figure it out? I also notice we still use hydro power plants where other advanced country use nuclear energy to generate power. We need serious restructuring in this nation.

The power problems we have in Nigeria isn't because we use hydro plants. Hydro plants are also as viable as nuclear plants; it just depends on the capacity you have.

Benefit of having a lawyer and administrator as the minister

NOETHNICITY:
And what if the chief rejects them too?

And if the boys father surfaces later how does the guy explain the kids whereabout since he did not collect the village chief's number?

And if the boys re not found when their dad comes back it cud become a police problem.

If he is going to

If you read the guy's story, you will notice he never consented to take the kids. But the kids ended in his house anyway. The same disappearing trick the dad of the kids played is ehat I suggested; the chief doesnt need to agree. But then again, it doesnt even have to be the chief (who is unrelated), he can play the disappearing game with another relative who is closer to the kids. The guy who avandoned the kids must have parents or direct siblings. Hence why I termed it 'the heartless option'.

Uwa mmebi...

laurelbae:
I don't understand what u stand to gain with all these stories. Just last month u posted that ur neighbour accommodated and fed you.
Oga which time u take get house ,pay house rent?
Kwontinue!

Lol... abeg leave the guy. He's got a creative mind specialised in creating problem stories. Abi u no dey enjoy the stories?

stressedout:
I am a hustling young nigerian and although i am comfortable, i cant afford to cater for another. One of my relation from the village visited me last 3 weeks here in calabar. I dont really know him well but i have met him just once in a meeting back in the village.

He came with his 2 boys of 7 and 11 years, begging me to take one and school him while he helps me with house duty. As i am a bachelor i declined and said i did not have money and also did not need a help. He begged that they cant even see food to eat and such things but i still refused. I dont even know how he got my address. I allowed them to sleep over since it was late and told him to go back the next day.

When the next day came (a saturday) he said let him go to the atm to get money to transport them back to the village. He left the boys and went out. Afternoon came and i started getting worried as he had not returned. He wasnt picking calls until 10pm when he called me and said i should not be angry that let the boys just do holiday in my house, that he will pick them the next day and then switched off his phone.

i havent been able to reach him since then. He just disappeared and abandoned his sons with me. Its more than 15 days now. I have called people, nobody knows his wearabouts. Nobody in the village agreed to collect the boys. They said he and the family moved to PH years ago. The boys are finishing my food and they are not telling me where they live. I even threatened to throw them out but they still refused to talk. I am just confused and angry. What do i do? this man has disorganized my life

If the situation chokes you too much, then you can play the heartless option: Take them to your village, and since no one claims to know the children, just take them to the front of your chief's house and play the same disappearing game their father played.

This sounds so much like a fictional report from the stables of IgbereTV.

BraniacX:
And your own dismissive narrative holds water and would survive scrutiny right? well, according to you anyway, a bit busy now, later in the day I'll give this debate the attention it so really deserves

Would love to see how you can dismiss those things I pointed out and then enthrone the 'Buhari policy' narrative as the sole cause of recession.

BraniacX:
yeah true, you're absolutely right but still, devoid of the messenger, the message remains valid

Valid message right?... What's so valid about the message?

obailala:
He made what points?... Made points that Buhari's presence caused recession and not oil price crash?... Made sense in what way exactly?... That it was Buhari who squandered reserves from over $60bn to $30bn (even at a time the country made the highest income) ensuring there was virtually nothing in terms of forex savings to bail the country from a surprise oil price drop??... That it was Buhari who ensured Nigeria damaged all its refineries and ensured we spent half of our forex importing petroleum products?... I'm sure it was also Buhari that made sure Nigeria became a dangerously import dependent nation where just about everything from fuel, toothpicks, polythene, clothes, glass, steel, sugar, palm oil etc was imported over the years in massive quantity?... It was probably also Buhari who ensured that an import dependent nation like ours sourced over 93% of its forex from the sale of a volatile commodity?

A narrative might be made for too long and it might be supported by even intellectuals in order to nudge the govt to sit up (after all Buhari and his men were voted into office to clean the mess), but that doesn't necessarily mean the narrative makes complete sense. The only actual statement NOI has made about the recession is that "Lack of political will to save during times of high oil prices" was the chief cause; NOI is an intellectual who wouldn't let her intelligence and integrity be messed up by ignoring the truth and throwing political jabs instead.

Read below and find out why Nigeria has been bad news for Igbos.


History

1966:- Over 50,000 Igbos, men, women and children massacred all over the North

1967-70:- Over 3 million souls lost in the civil war in the name of 'one Nigeria'

Other situations where Igbos have been killed are:

This is the cost of "One Nigeria"

Unfortunately, most of the people killed were killed because they lived within enemy territories. But the real sad news about all these is that even if Biafra is carved out today, it will not still stop Igbos from living all over Nigeria and all over the world, including within enemy territories; it is a cultural thing for Igbos to travel far and wide, how would Biafra change that?

Kenny4lyfe:
Ok! You've made your point. Biko chop knockle!
I wasn't aware that this post has been in circulation for the past 8 months (thanks to my prolong absence from NL politics section). Haven said that, I apologize.

BUT

Whoever concocted this criticism of PMB even though he hid under the cloak on NOI's popularity (a mistake on his part), made valid points. That was a poor tactic to drive his message closer home but the facts stare us in the face still.

My 1kobo

He made what points?... Made points that Buhari's presence caused recession and not oil price crash?... Made sense in what way exactly?...

I can already see two brain dead zombies who have absolutely no iota of shame in their systems still masturbating over their collective stupidity which has already been busted; you obviously feel pained that your foolishness has been laid bare... You and your ilk created an obviously false publication, impersonating NOI to discredit people; your lie was exposed, but you still have the faces to come throw insults around. 'Idiots and pigs' can certainly never be washed.

Economy: Okonjo-Iweala denies criticising Buhari

A former Nigerian finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has denied reports that she made scathing remarks against President Muhammadu Buhari.

Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala made this disclaimer via a post on her Facebook wall on Tuesday.

Reacting to the social media reports which alleged that she faulted the present administration, the ex-minister said the reports were false.

“My attention has been drawn to a spurious and nefarious story circulating on the internet,” she wrote.
“The story makes false claims of utterances against President Buhari.

“I had earlier debunked the same fake news on Jan 5 , 2017, but it is obviously in some people’s interest to see this falsehood circulate again,” she wrote Tuesday.
PREMIUM TIMES observes that the January 5 disclaimer was posted on her wall and signed by her Media Adviser, Paul Nwabukwu.

“The comments on the performance of the Nigerian economy being circulated by unknown persons and attributed to Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala were not made by her,” Mr. Nwabukwu had said.

“Like the previous fake audio by an imposter pretending to be her , this is another desperate action by mischievous persons.

“The former minister doesn’t need anyone to speak for her because , as everyone knows, she is very capable of speaking for herself . We urge the media and Nigerian public to ignore these petty gimmicks.

On Tuesday, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala again urged the Nigerian reading public to ignore such fake news.
“Kindly ignore this. These junk news outlets are hereby warned to cease and desist,” she wrote.

Above is the response of NOI to silly concoctions contained in this thread:
https://www.nairaland.com/3956996/how-president-buhari-plunged-nigeria#58998817

Some pathetic PDP/Jonathanian losers just sit behind their computer day and night conjuring silly lies and propaganda and falsely attributing their nonsense to distinguished personalities in order to gain validation.

In the thread above, I rightly mentioned that there was absolutely no way NOI would use such language, but of course, that didnt stop the target audience from masturbating over the obviously false and senseless publication.

Helicopter kwa!

Ever8054:
sabinus..,how you take know...

Just because I know

This particular picture caused wahala during the 2015 election campaigns, and the true origins was traced.

coptic:
Someone mentioned it as being the Abuja, Lokoja, Okene Road, but I know it's not because I frequent that road.

Computer model of a proposed road in Cameroon.

See the chronic hate filled losers as they litter the front page unnecessarily hating on a man who doesn't give a fvck about their existence.

Nbote:
She was simply broke before... Nobody ugly, na owu dey do make up on ppl...

HAs nothing to do with brokeness, she was just 11 years younger in the old pic and the old pic was also taken in a poorly lit environment with a wack camera. What were the cameras of 2006 like compared to today?

I see no changes... All I see is a make-up free home picture taken 11 years ago with a horrible camera in a poorly lit environment vs a made-up face taken today with a good camera in a well lit environment.

Then again, its always boring when people shout 'surulere' or 'money good' at the comparison of pictures taken over a decade apart. Was the person expected to look the same at 14 and 25 years old?

DutchBrah:
We don't steal as much as the elders

Because you havent been given the same opportunities... What did people like Dimeji Bankole do with his position besides proving to the world that he as a youth could match the oldies in the game?

Bro, whilst it is good for younger more vibrant chaps to be in leadership, that isn't necessarily an assurance that anything will be different with regards the mindless greed and lootocracy. What we really need is good leaders that are accountable; and that has nothing to do with age, sex, tribe, religion or political affiliation.

Including Ijaw attires?

DutchBrah:
Lets find a way to make this trend. Youth make up 70% of Nigeria population. Yet the same thieves that have been ruling since 1960 still occupy leadership positions in the country.
Let Youths refuse to vote for any candidate above 45 years old in the 2019 election.

The only sad thing about this is that the youths are also thieves with exactly the same mentality as the oldies. So how exactly does youthfulness help change anything?

ofai:
You are always excused whenever you are done okay? Chukwu gozie onwa November naabia bia

Goodluck!

ofai:
It's obvious you are feeling quite uneasy and insecure.

You keep repeating lame and pointless points

Go and face UPP, PDP, APC and co. IPOB shouldn't be your nightmare.

I'm actually frustrated at how unteachable a person can possibly be; and I'm sure you aren't a child. I had to explain a simple point like 6 times and up till now, I'm sure you still have no clue what I'm talking about because you keep repeating ipob and some political parties. Ipob has to be the only thing imprinted in your head, hence why you keep spitting it out in unrelated discussions.

ofai:
You dodged the Massob analogy, only to run back to reenact it.

Whether you want to be deceived or not, revenue sharing whether through census or otherwise was tailored to favor the north. If you claim you are twenty million, kano will double theirs to forty million..... Jeez....Aren't you teachable?

What da hell is this man talking about?... Are you confusing me with someone else?... Take your time and go through our trail of exchanges and this time, try and read everything I wrote slowly (not just the first sentences cos I suspect you havent read anything I wrote)... I would be glad if you can point out where or how I dodged any massob analogy, you obviously arent paying attention.

Now to deflate your point again, if kano claims 40 million, is that a reason why you should deliberately carry out sabotaging acts to reduce SE population?.... Does that make any sense to you?... Is Kano (or the north as a whole) the only zone in Nigeria?.... What sort of victim mentality driven self-inflicted injury is that?... What sort of defeatist attitude pushes a man to deliberately sabotage himself because he feels someone else somewhere is playing a fast one?...

How I wish there were pills out there to replenish a person's self esteem, cos I strongly believe you and many others need it.

ofai:
You keep revisiting this "shooting at the foot" without proving anything.

The fear of IPOB is indeed real.

Revenue sharing formula in Nigeria is based on population figures. When you engage in any activity/campaign which is capable of returning a lower population figure for your zone, such a detrimental act amounts to 'shooting yourself on the foot'. Even a youngster wouldn't find this point difficult to understand so I wonder why I have to keep repeating the same thing over and over again.

And yeah, I'm talking about the order by Massob some years ago for its members to boycott population census. By God's grace, you will understand my simple point one day before Jesus comes.
