It's not about making Nigeria ungovernable for The Dullard. It's all about the eventual and inevitable balkanization of The Zoo. Zoo Nigeria is precariously hanging on a precipice and it's simply a matter of time before it crashes. I can't wait for the day. I'm definitely ecstatic!

The Zoo Must Fall!

The evil or good you wish 170 million ordinary Nigerians will befall only yourself and your family.

All of a sudden, providing steady electricity supply has become rocket science.

Of course it is not rocket science, you dont even need formal education to know that electricity cannot be generated when there are people on standby with dynamites waiting for gas pipelines to be fixed so they can blow it up again.

And the Jonathanians are ecstatic... now Nigeria is being made ungovernable for buhari, but the folly lies in the fact that blowing pipelines affects the entire citizens of Nigeria, not just some villagers in the north east.

An individual is considered not guilty, until proven otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction.

So far I cant see any where in the report where it says anybody is guilty..

Why not zero?... is there any power plant which produces only 65mw?... Where is the 65mw coming from?

Borno-born billionaire, Mohammed Indinmi, is the lead donor of Lynn’s newest faculty, the $14m Mohammed Indimi International Business Center.

The university is a private, coeducational institution located in Boca Raton, Florida. Founded in 1962.

The centre was dedicated in 2014 and is a state of the art facility, outfitted with technology systems to enhance the students’ educational environment , with 11 classrooms and a wealth of other areas such as a Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (CEI), a Venture Lab, an Investment and Trading room and a new Career Preparation and Internship Centre.

15 other new spaces also provide conference and meeting areas for collaborations between students, faculties and corporations.

He also received an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters from the university on May 12, 2012 and a gala was held to recognise Indimi’s business and philanthropic achievements

Mohammed Indimi was born in August 1947 and founded Oriental Energy in 1990, of which he is still chairman. He is an in-law of former Nigerian president and retired Nigerian Army general Ibrahim Babangida.

Oriental currently has three projects offshore of Nigeria’s Niger Delta region. Six of his children serve on the company’s board. His net worth dropped from an estimated $670 million a year ago due to ongoing low oil prices.

His children are known to be fabulously weallthy and flamboyant, the topic of many blog posts on several top blogs including Linda Ikeji. One of his daughters once dated popular crooner Dbanj.

Ahmed, a son of his gained respect and notoriety after he posted his ATM balance of $100 million on social media.

What sort of fuckery is this?... na dis kain tin dey make avengers dey blow pipeline throwing the entire nation into darkness.

But seriously, during the next bidding exercise, why can't state governments set up state owned oil companies and bid for oil blocks?.. Why does it have to be individuals and mushroom companies?

The Edo State House of Assembly comprises 24 members. One of the Assembly’s principal officers, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Saturday PUNCH that [size=13pt]the issue of grazing reserves would not be mentioned on the floor of the House let alone being discussed.[/size] According to him, creating grazing reserves will provoke a bigger problem that will be difficult to address.

This was the icing on the cake

cktheluckyman:
with what we are seeing today,obviously those pipeline contracts were worth it.Today were are losing hundreds of billions

I think a better approach has to be followed instead of just splashing billions on belligerent miscreants. Splashing millions on militants any time they feel they've run out of cash can never be a sustainable approach; what about just developing the freaking communities and getting the real suffering community members appeased?

Have you ever been to Gbaramatu or Okrika or some of these communities where those big warlords come from?... If you've been to those places, you will understand the futility of paying criminals money.

. What is wrong with we yorubas. Must we always talk about SS/SE everyday! Nawa ooo

Only slow brains always think everything has to be tribalised, and only slow brains assume people's tribe based on political leanings... You do not know who i am kid, and i dont know who you are... so mind your business and shut up if you dont have any sensible thing to say.. thanks

rozayx5:
yaradua started amnesty not gej. with all his military experience obj cud not do sh!t buhari thinks he is god. he will eat the humble pie.

Yaradua gave amnesty, but gej resorted to giving all the bogus security contracts through which billions were paid monthly to the big militants to protect pipelines. Giving those billions to those guys is the genesis of the problems we will forever suffer from; the more you give them billions, the more the thirst for billions increases. The govt should have spent those billions in uplifting the lives of the villagers and communities - building clean schools, hospitals, badass road networks, water, free steady electricity etc. The core oil producing communities are not plenty, developing them shouldnt be rocket science and when they are developed, some money seeking miscreants wouldnt have an excuse to come hold the whole nation to ransom.

I think the FG should find a way to dialogue and overwhelmingly appease the affected communities and not the miscreants. It really shouldnt be a big deal to appease these communities the proper way, but paying out billions to miscreants without paying any attention to law abiding community members, that was the biggest mistake of the last administration which should never be repeated.

You are comparing yesterday's news with today's news?.... abeg make una dey try use sense small na?...

peaceuntous:
And this govt removed crude swap deals.

Bring back crude swap deals. Give foreign refineries crude, free. They give u refined product free
Stop gap measure. Permanent solution is our own refineries, in privAte handsooo. Not govt. More people like dangote.

Nigerias crude production has dropped from over 2.1 million barrels per day to less than 1.4million. There isnt even any crude to swap

rodbel:
As a country, we need to be serious on returning our refineries to topmost state of performance else these faceless and useless marketers will continue to hold us ransom.

To think we have some crazy fellows in d name of militant also sabotaging easy access to the one and only raw material needed to power the country.

Greed and Corruption has eaten deep into our system

Even the 30% that the dead refineries were producing at, avengers went and blew up the pipelines returning the refineries to 0%, and some people rejoiced. Nigeria is cursed with useless leaders and more useless citizens.

Another Chibok Scam victim.
So it's because of Chibok Scam Rescue you went to dig up this shít?

Since some people for some silly political or ethnic sentiments have decided to feign ignorance about how bad our education system is, since some people have decided to feign amnesia about the fact that students from the far north even have 2/200 as cut-off point for unity schools, then it becomes necessary to dig up threads like this to remind some people that have refused to reason objectively that even university graduates from the most educationally advanced zone can still be found wanting.

Lol.. 10% salary increment every year, which company (especially oil companies) does that especially in these times when several oil companies worldwide are sacking workers massively and our militants and disgruntled political supporters are even making matters worse in Nigeria?...Meanwhile some olukus don already begin call out buhari

kabman:
thank god the average man will feel no pain in this madness.only the government and multinationals

Sometimes I wonder the essence of the education some people have. You think the common man is not affected? ...

Are you aware the bombed pipeline is what supplies gas to several power stations?...

Are you aware this same pipeline has been bombed about 3 times in 2016 alone and that is purely the reason why power supply has been next to zero since 2016?

Are you aware that all the sufferings of the masses today are linked directly to the FG being broke?.. ranging from the high fuel prices to the crippling fuel scarcity to the high cost of food that has been on for some months now are all effects of the lack of forex in the country?

Now with the above, you think it is the big men who already have billions, drive around and live in airconditioned mansions that get to suffer most from a crippled economy?... How old are you?

Naughtysite:
Working for Exxon mobil does not make you rich but owning an oil well does.

The 85% he mentioned refers to list of Nigerian who own oil wells and oil companies.

And the 85% figure is rubbish..... Here's a full list.

Beadex1:
judging from the well tailored list it is important to note that even with this multinationals northerners and westerners are still majorities... should it Be so? i love northerners and westerners the same way i love Other tribes but my issue with them is cheating on us.... can u tell me why all the headquarters of exon mobil , chevron and the rest are situated in lagos state .....also can you tell me why ibaka sea port is not on motion up till now just becos the top shots wants only lagos seaport to work what about epz in cross river state .... the list is too numerous.... Bros federalism and regionalism alone will solve this lingering issue. united state re practicing it why can;t we emulate from them too

Dont let yourself be deceived by the theories and propaganda of some devilish deceivers; the people responsible for the woes of the niger delta are right there in the niger delta.

Firstly, most companies prefer lagos as HQ because lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria, this is not a Nigerian thing, it is a global trend in business, businesses sit close to economic and political power bases.

Secondly, the security climate is a major reason why even companies that setup their business in the ND eventually flee. I will use Warri which I am very familiar with as my case study. When warri used to be a hotbed for violent clashes in the late 90's and early 2000's, do you know how many companies fled warri to PH and Lagos for security reasons?... Do you know how much it cost to provide mobile policemen security for your staff 24-7?.... Even a massive company like Shell (which could even afford the security bills) just recently moved it's HQ to PH and stopped all operations in its western division (delta state) because of this same security issue. Do you know the amount of life blood that was drawn away from delta state because of that move?... Hundreds of other smaller companies feeding off Shell would also leave.

Some months back, Shoprite opened its first branch in warri with all the funfair. The shopping complex became the only attraction in a town which has become a shadow of itself (since shell left). About a month after its opening, some stuupid youth group invades the complex, chases everyone away, vandalises properties and loots valuables forcing the closure of the mall. http://www.lailasblog.com/2016/01/embarassing-delta-yoths-attack-and-loot.html

Now I have no idea if that mall has been re-opened since then, but this is the exact reason people take their businesses away from these places. Or have you ever heard of Shoprite being attacked for no reason in any other part of Nigeria (even in the volatile north)?

Now you raised the issue of seaport, the security is also the exact reason why business men from as far back as the 90's preferred to bring their goods in through Lagos (which is a coastal port) instead of the ports in the ND which are inland. No business man will spend millions and billions importing goods only for his goods to be ransacked and stolen by miscreant pirates in internal waterways. The low patronage of those ports by importers is what killed the ports. However, some anarchists have successfully polluted the minds of people claiming it is sabotage by some particular tribes. Sometimes

Finally, you asked why ibaka seaport isnt being built, and then I wonder why typical Nigerians cannot just sit back and think for themselves but always wait for some political or ethnocentric manipulators to manipulate their minds. The reason ibaka isn't being built is the same reason why we have only 4 dead refineries in Nigeria since the 70's, its the same reason why roads built by colonial masters decades ago cannot even be maintained, its the same reason why all federal institutions are dead across Nigeria (not only in the SS & SE as some diabolic manipulators have succeeded in poisoning the minds of many with) and it's the same reason why a country of 170 million people still struggles to generate less than 5000mw of electricity.. Just incase you are still not clear on what this reason is, it is called bad leadership.

Returning to regional governments would be the only solution, at least we wouldn't have some people deceiving others that it is the next tribe or ethnic group or zone that is hindering their own leaders from doing the right things.

Hehehe... No. 1

Oga forget masses are used to the hardship from time immemorial, at least we chop akara and pap and we don't complain anymore, we know who will complain more in this situation ,when they can't fly private jet freely again,when their mistresses can't get enof for now then it hit them, 80% of oil blocks are own by northerners.....

Beadex1:
well maybe not in the exon mobil i know of which is situated at Eket . This new avengers are not like other hungry militants . what the required from the federal government is to retrieve license from the 90 percent northerners that owns oil blocks in their region and implement true federalism. What we have now is unfair and unacceptable it has not happened any where before for pete sake.....enough is enough

From 80% to 90%, no doubts, some dubious northerners control some juicy oil blocks, but it is meaningless to filter out some northern names only (some others have even created reports and filtered only northern and SW names all to play some dubious tribal divide politics with the minds of the gullible). But now please, why don't we do a simple name checking exercise to point out the full list of the 'big men' exploiting the Niger delta oil.

cckris:
The unfair imbalance in favour of the Northwest & Southwest will continue to raise discontent until the imbalance is resolved. No intimidation can stop the discontent.

The story of unfair balance is largely the creation of some political jobbers and some ethnic anarchists. It is usually amusing how these anarchists always say SW and north enjoy niger delta oil most, but tactfully omit the SE while they nudge the SS to view the SW as their enemies.

The truth is that the 3 big tribes in Nigeria are fleecing on Niger delta oil contrary to whatever ethnocentric propaganda some dubious anarchists are peddling. The thread below gives a more comprehensive list of oil block owners in Nigeria, kindly view and point out how the north and SW are the ONLY ONES fleecing on ND oil, kindly tell us how the SE and some others are not ably represented in this list of exploiters?

EasternActivist:
You mean in all of this you only gained peace??
Is it the fulanis herdsmen maiming in agatu and Enugu..

Or the mile 12 saga..
Or the militancy.?
Or the economic downturn which has weaking currency, petrol price rise, inflation, and high electricity tariff??

My guy if you wanna zombie use your senses... You wailed for the anti grazing bill and anti social bill, kindly use ur senses once again... And stop being stingy with the truth...

Zombies have not benefitted from this government rather reverse is the case just that you guys are being foolish and used.

Like i said, I was opposed to the antisocial media bill and the grazing reserves bill and many other buhari outspoken supporters were also openly against it . I don't have to keep running back and forth to prove anything to a faceless emotional person on NL, the records are easily available. When I see something which isn't right, I would not speak in support of it because of political affiliation, that is common sense 101; common sense comes before some stupiid tribal or religious or political allegiance. i don't know if this can be said for most of you disgruntled jonathanians and ethnocentrists.

By the way, Fulani herdsmen massacre has been happening ever since even though it was hardly ever reported nor given any attention by past govts and Nigerians in general; and when you dont nip things like that in the bud, they only get more daring. It is silly for anyone to claim it started under Pmb or because of buhari. It only became more popular because it is now seen and used as a sweet political tool to bulldoze buhari, just the same way the bokoharam menace was used as a political tool to bulldoze GEJ. Similarly, most of the other unrests you mentioned are things that have been happening so I wonder why anyone would want to tie it to pmb.

ovieigho:
economist teach me what I already know ,befor the Niger Delta avengers attack are we not lamenting price hike in fuel ,food stuffs,transport? or are you just coming into the country from Togo? masses hav been lamenting bitterly as long as I know. even when all money stolen by abacha was returned to obasanjo! still no effect on the masses......

When you cut down the tap root of a tree, it takes a couple of days at least before the leaves begin to wither. Nigeria was producing up to 1.8million barrels per day but all those price hikes and dowturns you pointed out were happening because of the low oil prices. Now oil production is almost getting to below 1million barrels per day and the prices are still low. If you think you were complaining before, just be patient, the real problem is coming soon. We can all cool off by insulting buhari though, someone just has to be blamed init?

Beadex1:
ignorance you said is a disease, i will implore you to visit any of this oil producing comminity and see things out for yourself. this guys have been pushed to the wall and the have no other option than to resist as humans. A hungry man is an angry man wont be surprise if more groups emerge. True federalism we want

I can assure you that the people bombing these pipelines and throwing the nation into darkness are not from those suffering communities. And you know what?... just like before, when these miscreants are EVENTUALLY paid, they would squander the moneys in wild living while the real indigenes of the suffering communities would still remain in their penury. We still have fresh examples like the Asaris and Tompolos and the Atekes who have made billions but have not in any substantial way given back to the real communities that suffer the direct brunt of oil exploration/production.

By the way, what I referred to as ignorant was the 85% figure which you gave as yoruba and hausa being the biggest gainers from the oil industries, nothing could be more ignorant. First of all, if you have ever walked into the office of an oil company like exxonmobil at eket, you will realise that at least 80% of the employees, both the high and low level staff, contractors, contractor staff, even the cooks, cleaners, security men etc etc are from akwa Ibom. There is no doubt that we have some other tribes in the company which includes yorubas and igbos and other niger delta tribes. It is a similar scenario when you walk into many other oil companies, as a matter of fact, it is only in nnpc I have really seen northerners so I wonder where that your 85% figure came from.

Beadex1:
let it shut down for life....85 percent or more westerners and northerners are the ones working and controlling there. Of what benefit is it to us when the place generating the funds are still struggling to survive

..And you think the SE is not also well represented in the oil industry?... and you think south-southerners are not gaining anything from the oil industry?... Ignorance is a disease.

ovieigho:
when I hear stories like this I get relieved because even if they don't lose the money on whose hands are the going to? definitely not the masses . even if Nigeria lose $2 trillion daily I don't care a hoot because lose or gain I don't seems to see the effect on the masses and the economy #while I dey here dey drink my pap and akara

You complain of the high price of fuel, you complain of the high price of foodstuff, you complain of the high price of transport, flights and most probably, the akara you are presently eating is more expensive than what it used to be before. But then, you dont care a hoot because you are too ignorant of the link between Nigeria losing trillions and the price of everyday commodities which affect you.

EasternActivist:
In gej administration anti_socila bill wasn't hyped as apc used it's advantage to climb to the apex seat of power...

Barely did they came in to power they begin to sponsor the anti_socila media bill...

We wailed and it was thrown out of nAss.

Buhari sponsored terrorist tribe fulanis were maiming people across other ethnicities. All apc and buhari could do is to sponsor grazing reserves to further subjugate and conquer people's lands...

We wailed and the idea was shoved right into their asses.

Now tell me what the zombies have gained...

N5000?
N40 petrol?
$1 = #1?
Employment?

Tell me what have you gained if not getting poorer...

Okay keep wailing, it is for our collective good, but wail sensibly.

By the way, the last time I checked, apc supporters (except maybe one or 2 persons) were also opposed to the silly anti-social media bill and the grazing reserves. You can prove me wrong by providing any link on here which proves otherwise?... So this brings us back to my point, sensible wailing is allowed and will receive the support of all, irrespective of political affiliations.

And you ask what I have gained?... I have gained peace of mind knowing that even though the economy is down, it is not because some wolves sit-down in a room as if they want to have supper and then share our collective patrimony; I am fully aware of the reason behind the economic downturn experienced today - being the catastrophic oil prices, the infrastructural saboteurs and the previous thoughtless leaders who did not think a time like this would ever come, hence they sat down and shared everything amongst themselves.

EasternActivist:
What have you gained as a zombie... Just mention one of them...

What can you be proud of that buhari has done that has affected you positively in one year?

Among the promise which have you benefitted


Buhari as failed this country, and if Nigeria wants patience and hope we wouldn't have voted change, we would have sticked with Gej then hope and wait...

Now we know that change can be negative as opposed to what they made us to believe.
$1 = #1
Fuel = #40

What have you gained since your endless wailings?
