OLADD:
Hey! Did you just say nagging? When did setting a record straight amount to nagging? Go through the statement released from office of the VP where it was expressly stated that the N5000 stipend had started in 9 states. Are you trying to take us though English lesson on the obvious? If the FG wasn't ready to finance the project in Ekiti why did they list it among the pilot states? Are you not even ashamed that only 3 out of 36 states are ready ,yet the Fed govt went to town shouting to the rooftop? Pls stop defending the indefensible.

Mr Man, wait for your turn, it will eventually get to your people. There's no lie about saying a programme will be implemented in 9 pilot states, and then payments have already been received in 3 of the states. Except you have a new definition of the word 'lie.' Thanks!

OLADD:
Stop been crafty my friend and don't bring Jonathan into this. The Fed govt told us that the N5000 stipend had started in 9 pilot States of which Ekiti was among. Why did they have to specify on 9 states when only fewer states were practically ready in terms of finance. Don't you get it? Mentioning Ekiti as a pilot state when the reverse is the case was nothing but false claim and that was what elicited Fayose's disclaimer. No other words can be used to describe it other than LIE.

Stop nagging like a neglected wife bro... The govt said it will start the programme from 9 pilot states, I dont remember seeing anywhere where it was said that the money has been paid to these 9 states; as a matter of fact, I even had no clue any of the states had received anything at all until this morning. Why don't you wait for your turn instead of rushing online to shout 'LIE'?

If you have any argument to the contrary, kindly post us a link where the govt said it has PAID people in Ekiti?

OLADD:
When the Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose told the nation penultimate week that his state indigenes were yet to receive a dime from the Federal Govt N5,000 monthly stipend he was dressed down by many Nigerians including the govt at the centre. However, appearing on Channels TV Sunrise Breakfast programme, Laolu Akande, Senior Special Adviser to the Vice President on Media and Publicity owned up to the fact that amongst the nine states chosen to pilot the Social Security Scheme, only three states namely Borno, Bauchi and Kwara had received cash backup from the Federal Govt and commenced its implementation. The question now is; why did the APC led govt lie that Ekiti was one of the pilot states? Is it to score some cheap political points and counter Fayose's homegrown Stomach Infrastructure and N10,000 monthly stipend Programmes thereby preparing the ground to "capture" Ekiti in 2018? Only time would tell.

Sometimes one wonders why some people must reason like children in order to drive their political point.

@OLADD, What exactly is the lie in what the govt said?... Or is there now a new definotion of the word 'lie' which is known by only jonathanians?... Did the govt say anywhere that they had paid people in Ekiti state?... Last time I checked, the only thing announced is that the programme would start in 9 pilot states, of which only 3 states have received money at present. Once again, what exactly is confusing about that?...

DjAndroid:
Na him and im family wey no dey read.

8 radio stations dey Abia state.

16 radio stations dey Anambra, 3more to open this year

3 dey Ebony

12 dey enugu

9 dey Imo

If these radio stations are not enjoying massive listenership, why is their business booming? And why this number of stations?

Okoroawusa Oya take am

Ayam not understanding this your comment... The report said 'read' but you are counting number of radio stations?

seguno2:
Life is not about absolutes but rather about COMPARATIVES.
Do I take it that you are saying Jonathan did not do much unlike Buhari who has done NOTHING?
What of Obasanjo and his eight years?

OBJ clearly has more measurable and tangible achievements than any other Nigerian president, but that is not to say he should be hailed because he could have done more. OBJ just didnt exist at a time of political fanaticism as we have it today, so there was never a need to start counting his achievements as we do today with GEJ or buhari.

seguno2:
Is Dasuki also called minimum wage that moved to N18,000 in 2010 from N7,500?
Or they are separate people?
Is Dasuki also called the Nigerian railways that was revived?
Or maybe Dasuki is the same as the revived airports, automotive industry, agriculture and roads built?

BTW, if truly Dasuki did anything serious why is he yet to be tried and convicted?
Obviously, he is detained simply for arresting Buhari in 1985 when IBB kicked him out of Dodan Barracks.

DAsuki in my statement was just figurative and it actually refers to plenty people and events which represent leakages. Compared to the money made, the measly list which you presented isn't commensurate with the money which went down the drain.

Yoiu mentioned roads and I ask, is it enough to announce on news and on paper that you have awarded road contracts yet a kobo isn't released to contractors beyond the original mobilisation for 5 years?.... No wonder a short 'very' bad section of a road like the Benin to Sagamu road was fixed and this short section had to be commissioned with so much fanfare even though it represents less than 5% of the entire road needing repair. Abeg help me name one or two of the roads which were completed close to your domain which really explains the trillions?

What Nigerian railway are you even talking about exactly?... Is it the pre-1960 narrow gauge rails that were refurbished that you are flaunting as the legacy project which gulped trillions?... Ancient refurbished narrow gauge train tracks that can only support trains moving at 40 km/hr max, no wonder it takes 2-3 days for the trains to run from Lagos to Kano and this is supposed to be what gulped trillions?... We know Buhari isn't doing anything but please dont insult us with this nonsense GEJ glorification cos the man squandered a glorious opportunity to turn Nigeria around. Quit this yeye glorification of GEJ matter before una make person vex this evening.

Civil war loading... but how come no other news site has this news? :

dazdilijae:
its so easy to blame GEJ for the waste of our resources but exempt this administration where people like Ameachi and Fashola who took GEJ to court for saving is praised for their lies.

This argument isn't about ECA or savings, it is simply about how the oil windfall moneys realised under GEJ's time were 'spended' (apologies to Dalung ). If we must talk of ECA, then this overused excuse of "Amaechi made GEJ squander the money" is very stale and ridiculous, it even further indicts GEJ. Without much ado, the big question which no one giving this same lame 'Amaechi and Fashola' defence has been able to answer is, if GEJ really had any single political will whatsoever to save, how come he could not save the FG's lion share (51% of total) of the money?.... Was it also Amaechi and Fashola?

Stupidity is when we blame teacher for not covering the syllabus but forget we were given the same syllabus at the beginning of the term Ameachi said he didnt know the trains were working. was surprised the rail lines were working few days as minister while Fashola said GEJ constructed more roads than any other govt few days into office so to me all this after noise of no infrastructure is political lies cos APC has seen it can never achieve a third of GEJ's achievement in their four years in power. point of reminder GEJ constructed Abuja- Kaduna railway in his 5years in office but Fashola and Ameaxhi couldnt finish their shorter distanced train project in their eight year in office in both states and till date.

We are talking of 21st century trains, you are talking of those pre-1960 narrow gauge trains which run from Lagos to Kano in 3 days?... FYI, the only real rails built is the one from Abuja to Kaduna, kudos to GEJ for not abandoning that one, but the point being that it does not still reflect the massive oil windfall which the administration received; even OBJ built a much longer standard gauge rail from Itakpe-Ajaukuta-Warri and there was never any noise about that.

Fashola said GEJ built more roads?... So in 2017 we still have people who still believe the trash churned out by political bloggers?.. Chaii!

“President Goodluck Jonathan said he constructed 25,000 kilometres roads in the country. Now, the distance from Lagos to London is just over 5,000km. What the claim by the President means is that they have constructed a road from Lagos to London five times. But the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway that is 404km and has not been done. So where did they see the 25,000km roads?" - Fashola

Above is the exact statement from Fashola when he heard a ridiculous report before the elections that GEJ had built 25,000km of roads in 5 years. How the statement above was again twisted by bloggers to deceive people like you still remains a mystery because even a kid should know which is the lie and which is the truth.

leadership is delegation of powers and every1 who misuses the power given to him should account to the law simple
GEJ is blesses and did his best PMb should do his ad leave so the country grows enough of the politics elections are over

GEJ did his best but his best was so so not good enough as he squandered the oil windfall blessings which Nigeria got during the time he reigned with nothing tangible 'enough' to show for it.

ceejay80s:
Its not even about monopolising, let him just make it cheap and affordable and same time the quality should remain same or increased and never decreased and sold at same price, u don't expect me to buy dangotes own when other imported ones are cheaper and beter in quality and quantity

It will not be cheaper or better than the imported ones, at least not for now; this is something we should all have in mind. It is this lure for cheaper and seemingly better quality products that led a giant Nigeria to being a crippled begging nation which imports everything including toothpick, palm oil and petrol. If we must get it right again as a nation, we must be prepared to just manage/tolerate whatever rubbish we can produce for now. It will get better with time.

Hahaha.. I doubt this news but if true, na wa for politicians. Oga Ifeanyi should really leave politics and focus on expanding his business to empower more people. You mustn't be a governor to help people, Dangote isn't a politician but has hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people in his employ. With his vast wealth and exposure to the oil business, I expected Ifeanyi to be building a modular refinery somewhere in Anambra presently. If care is not taken, Dangote may drive him out of business by 2019 when his refinery comes on stream.

ceejay80s:
Dem don press button, now the importers can't import there's anymore cos its now banned, na only dangote own go dey sell, I am not against it but they have to sell it to us at an affordable price, e.g if imported ones cost 400naira, angote's own should be 200naira

The govt has said it will ban tomato paste imports completely this 2017, but everyone folds their hands and waits for only Dangote and Erisco to produce everything (I even hear erisco has moved his production out of Nigeria to China where production is cheaper). Very soon when tomato paste importation is banned and Dangote becomes the only one, people would start the usual lamentations again about how Dangote is monopolising everything.

africanusvu:
This is too shameful,you stand and watch 800 of ur felow christians got slaughtered and you ar waiting for Buhari to say something.it is eighther u ar lying or you ar a bloody coward.seems only disabled christian lives in this soo cald southern kaduna.i am begining to hate them.they ar to weak

What would you have them do?... Spend the rest of their lives sleeping with one eye open with guns?.... You need to understand why the marauding herdsmen are a problem, they have no address and they live from bush to bush and are blood thirsty vampires who are happy to kill at the slightest opportunity.

idupaul:
The bible says when the righteous leads prosperity shall flourish over the land but when the wicked is in power there shall be grinding and gnashing of teeth ..My God has never been wrong sir

No doubt, the reign of GEJ was laced with good luck for the country, but the righteous man squandered the blessings which God gave Nigeria (because of him) on people like Dasuki, etc. If the good fortunes that accrued to Nigeria within those years of plenty were utilized properly, Nigeria would have had at least one or two functional refineries (at least one new one should have been built + resuscitation of the old dead ones). Also we would have had at least one or two major roads completed or one or two power plants built and completed to balance our power problems. We would have at least had a major high speed standard rail completed and functional within that period and if those were in place, we wouldn't be so much affected by the crisis in the oil industry today.

Yujin:
Everyone is entitled to his opinion. I have no problem with an opponent telling me he wants no good for me but when an enemy disguises as a brother to hoodwink my relatives, it becomes imperative of me to expose and keep him at bay from our gathering. You are a hypocrite. Any day I stumble on any post of yours where you claim to be Igbo again, I'll lay the curse and you shall see it come to pass before your very eyes. You can investigate me too.

Lol.. What if you lay the curse but you were actually wrong about me all along?... I hope that curse would reverse on your head?... Cos I would love to see that happen

Did you say I should investigate you?... sorry ooo, i got better things to do with my time. Meanwhile I'm waiting for you to present to us the result of your investigations on my origins; you only just told us the result and claimed you arrived at that result because you see me being in support of the current govt against the wish of 'real' Igbos. Please what else led you to your conclusions that i'm not Igbo?.. cos the reason you gave is very wack and empty.

Yujin:
Insult all you like but you are an impostor who got pained to investigate and prove beyond doubt that you are a hypocrite. I'll advise you for the last time to stop claiming Igbo. You are a hypocrite and should gladly come out open like some of your brothers to antagonise Ndigbo. If you insist, I'll lay a curse here to such false claims and mind you, my words are strong. Keep away you hypocrite.

Lol... Go hang yourself if you don't like my opinion on national issues. You will lay a curse? Ayam not understanding this one oo

Like i said, just call me the Yoruba Muslim like most of your colleagues do, a lot of them feel better after they do that.

Yujin:
I did a research on you since you claimed to be Igbo but don't support Biafra. My research showed that you were lying and a hypocrite. Your thread on the claim by SEners' of marginalisation in Buhari's rail and power projects being baseless exposed you. Honestly, I have no stomach for hypocrites even among my own relatives. I openly keep away from any of them. It is enough crime to keep things away from me, but attempting to take away from me what I've been labouring for is what I won't accept nor tolerate. It is enough to leave Igboland unattended but stopping biafra is another ball game. Thou hypocrite, stay away.

Wow! you must be quite jobless to go around snooping on people's lives trying to prove whatever. You must also be quite unintelligent to think that everyone must reason in a particular manner and have certain general opinions and attitude for the person to be of a particular tribe. I've been a member of this forum for close to 10 years (probably before you knew what the 'internet' was) and I haven't changed my username, I'm not a fool to fake who I am for almost 10 years because off some stupid clannish arguments online.

On the thread you pointed out, I still stand by my words, crying over the Calabar-Lagos rail that it passes over only 1 SE city, that was a needless and pointless wail (probably borne out of just an addiction to complaining which seems like the only thing we now do everyday); likewise, crying over the financing of the Mambilla hydro dam (an over 3000mw renewable energy project which has the capacity to turn around the power fortunes of the entire country), crying over the financing of the Mambilla project instead of something in the SE, I think that was clearly another pointless and needless wail and I wasn't going to keep these thoughts to myself because I'm trying to impress some 'nobodies' that I'm Igbo. Anyone who doesn't like the way I see things differently from the pack can do themselves a favour by ignoring me or better still, you can simply join your friends and call me 'Yoruba Muslim' if that makes you feel better. Thanks!

wite111:
Here is what they won't tell Nigerians about the FG N5, 000/month stipend to the poorest and most vulnerable in the country through the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) of its Social Investment Programmes (SIP).

1. It is N5,000 per household, not N5,000 per person.

2. Meaning that if a household is TEN persons, it will be N500/person.

3. World Bank is contributing about $500m (about N25bn) to the scheme.

4. FG is constributing N5bn.

Now you have been told and it is left to you to allow yourself to be deceived.

What exactly is the LIE which you claim to expose here?... You simply just gave a breakdown of the programme and titled it LIE EXPOSED. Did the FG say something contrary to what you just typed?

People always disgracing Nigeria in public...

Oblang:
Is that the only thing the govt is doing?

There are just better ways the money should be utilised other than just dishing cash out to people.

Oblang:
I guess u would have preferred the free money be shared with the likes of metuh,ffk and others through ATM dasuki...

Is that the only alternative activity that can be executed with money?

efeteb:
Pressure at the same depth is equal across that depth. 3 fills until it get to the inlet of 4 then both fill up simultaneously until 4 is full then 3 will now allow 2 to fill up before 1. So the sequence is 4321

Absolutely!... 3&4 rise in unison and fill at same time.

Bigsteveg:
The third tank. If the third tank isn't full, the fourth tank can't fill up

EWAagoyin:
yes it the 3rd one but this how u all fails examinations how will answer such question without backing it up with explanations
anyways.....
Solution:
the 3rd will first gets filled up because 1 and 2 doesn't need force to distribute water to next tanks but some amount of force is needed for number 3 to distribute to number 4 because of the way the pipe that connects both of them is, hence number 3 needs to first get filled up then weight of the quantity of water inside number 3 will be the force to make water passes to the upward pipe down to number 4 .... once number 3 reaches half filled up distribution will definitely begins to number 4 but the more the distribution the force needed from 3 to supply number 4 but at the end 3 definitely needs to be filled up before 4 then 2 and lastly 1 which brings us to =3,4,2,1

It depends on what you guys refer to as FULL from the image. By the word 'FULL', do you mean 95% or do you mean 100% (i.e. full to the brim)?

From the image, the water would start sipping into Tank 4 once Tank 3 is about 95% full. Consequently, Tank 3 can only rise above 95% (to get to 100%) after its level has equalized with Tank 4.

So in summary, the answer to the question is that 3 & 4 would get filled to the brim (100%) at the same time. The only exception to this simple physical law above is if the liquid in question isnt ordinary water but rather some higher viscosity liquid. Strange why almost everyone on this thread sees it differently.

tosyne2much:
Bros, I'm thinking 3 will get full before 4, because the 4th tank will rely on the pressure of 3

Im not a physics student tho

For tank 3 to get full to the brim, 4 must also get full to the same level.

The water in 3 rises constantly until it reaches the level of the connection point into 4. At this point, water level in 3 stops rising while 4 fills up. The water level in 3 can only continue rising (i.e. go above the connection point into 4) after the level in 3 and 4 have equalized .

Sharing money to people still remains madness... Campaign promise or not, it's a silly idea to share free money to anyone and this would definitely end up as another sure avenue for vultures to loot money. Whatever happened to implementation of the school feeding programme instead of this bazaar to waste scarce funds?

3 and 4 will get filled up (to the brim) at the same time. Weird that no one else has figured that so far.

This is commendable! I see no reason why every single oil producing community shouldn't have an initiative like this.

pazienza:
New year, yet your old lying habits persists.

SE rejected Buhari in 2003 and 2007,even when he paraded Igbo Vp just like we rejected Awolowo in 1979 even when he too paraded Igbo VP.
Of course, we also rejected Buhari in 2011, 2015, and will still reject him come 2023.

The reason is simple, Buhari is an Igbophobic entity, and it's not a co incidence that all lovers of Buhari are inherently Igbophobic, birds of same feathers flock together.

Buhari had demonstrated his Igbophobia many times in the past and continue to do so presently.
Buhari was part and parcel of the Northern counter coup junta that killed many Igbos.
He rejected an Igbo candidate in favour of a Fulani Man from Niger for the post of Sec general of OAU

Buhari out of hatred for Igbo decided to jail Ojukwu in the 1984, because he knew what Ojukwu represented to the Igbo. It was paramount that he disgraced Ojukwu, to please his Igbophobic Nigerian supporters.
https://www.nairaland.com/2084360/why-did-buhari-arrest-ojukwu/1

Buhari currently holds in prison an Igbo freedom fighter, who is loved by millions of Igbos, without any real concrete evidence against him.

Buhari had made it open that he considers Igbos 5% and would marginalize us to statisfy his Igbophobic Arewa-Oduanistan sychophants.

What old habits exactly are you talking about? Speaking the simple truth? I'm sorry there's nothing I can change to, the truth does not change. The hate and bile the SE has for Buhari is primarily rooted in the love the zone has for GEJ (there's nothing to be ashamed of in admitting this); every other thing fronted as a reason is only secondary.

To clarify what you wrote up there, Buhari wasn't rejected in 2003 and 2007 by the SE because he was hated, same way in which Ojukwu/APGA wasn't rejected because of hate. Rather, the SE wasn't really interested in those elections (especially presidential) at that time and there wasn't really any candidate in those elections loved enough by the SE to change that trend; not especially an old Hausa soldier (irrespective of his running mates). The disinterest of the SE in the presidential candidates at the time made it easy for the PDP to do their usual rigging to grab all SE votes, and that was why even APGA with Ojukwu as its candidate couldn't still take substantial SE votes.

The summary of my point is that the conscious hate the SE has for Buhari today stemmed from the GEJ era and it was purely due to Buhari's opposition to GEJ.

Emekamex:
Under Buhari:
1. SE has the lowest government positions.
2. SE has the lowest capital projects.
3. SE has the lowest road projects even when it has the worst roads in the federation.
4. Igbos are killed while protesting peacefully while Fulanis are compensated with money for killing people.
5. SE was called 5% and it was made clear there will be punished for not supporting APC even when there is freedom of choice.
Should I continue...

You should ask Buhari why he hates the SE.

SE also had the least capital projects and least road projects under GEJ, so this isn't necessarily a valid reason. On the other hand, while No 1, 4 and 5 are valid reasons, the strange truth is that the hate the SE has for Buhari stretches back to just before the 2015 elections when No. 1, 4 and 5 were still non-existent.

Without mincing any words, the biggest and most fundamental reason why the SE hates Buhari is because of the love and allegiance to Jonathan. Every other reason given is just a conjured justification/excuse; unfortunately, Buhari by his actions and inactions has been lending credence to these excuses.

cjrane:
Nigeria is a Satan republic.

They would rather stay in darkness and poverty than use coal to boost electricity generation if the coal in question is in Igboland.

The same people are celebrating coal discovery in Sokoto as if it is a discovery in a new country! What informed their abandonment of the coal already in Enugu which is reputed to be about the cleanest coal in the world and rejoicing for the one to be discovered in Sokoto?

One indivisible Nigerea indeed

Sokoto people (and other northerners from that zone) were celebrating the discovery of coal in their domain and honestly, I see no reason why they shouldn't. They believe it would favour them somehow and who knows, it actually may.

On the other hand, I'm not sure I underatand your logic of comparing the little coal found in Sokoto to the proven massive coal reserves in Enugu. What exactly is stopping Enugu from exploiting the coal in it's domain presently?... Is it the Hausas from Sokoto?

So these babies aren't yet tired of wailing about this their election loss from over 1.5 years ago?.. They keep refreshing their malice with everyone that didn't support their candidate GEJ during the last election, and any of such person who suffers any setback, they begin to rejoice about how God is fighting their battle against their imaginary enemies. It must really suck to be a wailer.

christejames:
He is young and already leading a society. How I wish our anachronistic leaders will take a leaf from him and allow the youth to man the affairs of this country.


Happy New Year, and congratulations to the new king, I pray the good Lord bestows him with wisdom; the 'solomonic wisdom'.

Because the mentality you exhibited above is very widespread amongst Nigerian youths, that is the exact reason the grandpas are still ruling this country. Youths sit down, fold their arms and are waiting patiently for the day when the competition (i.e. the grandpas) would smile and hand over power on a platter of gold to suckling youths and then ALLOW them to rule. Ah ah! that day will never come, leaderships is taken, not given. The nation isn't practising a monarchical system where power can be given to someone who hasn't worked for it all because of his/her bloodline.
