Whatever the case, I wish and pray the moneys stolen can be recovered and I wish those found guilty would be locked up for life. The greed of these guys has led to the sad loss of hundreds (if not thousands) of our military men, thousands of innocent civilians and trillions in destroyed properties.

For all those defending these guys (because their little brains erroneously thinks they are defending GEJ), may God judge you guys accordingly.

IbokUtoroh:
exactly, he shudnt be paying it but he just sent a bill to the nass for wat his brains cant fathom its meaning. this una president needs serious medical examination, he could be psychotic or a real maniac.

Are you opposing for opposing sake or are you opposing just so you have an opportunity to throw insults?... For how long can you possibly continue to remain in this condition?.... In a democracy, everyone cannot be pleased at the same time, some people want one candidate, others want another candidate. At the end, only one candidate wins an election. In life you win some and you lose some.

I understand you are pained that a candidate you hated won the election but for how long will you continue to act like an abandoned lover with a broken heart?... If you want to oppose, why dont you do it sensibly?... You apparently dont want the FG to pay subsidies owed the marketers so the fuel scarcity would continue, you obviously wish your fellow Nigerians to suffer so you get a chance to say 'you were right.' But what sort of devilish reasoning is that?... Are you aware that no matter how you keep hating or praying for evil to befall Nigeria, any evil that befalls Nigeria would also be suffered by both you and your loved ones even while the man you hate still remains the president till at least 2019 ?

IbokUtoroh:
God go punish buhari if he dare remove subsidy.
I thought he never knew what subsidy is?
why remove something that doesnt exist?
illiterate president, zombie, brainless major general.

I hope your mannerlessness actually gives you peace. By the way, if PMB doesnt know what subsidy is, isn't that a good reason why he shouldn't be paying it?

News reaching Newsnow Nigeria says Chairman Emeritus of Daar Communications has been picked up by security agencies. Sahara Reporters posted this on their twitter handle few minutes ago.....

FLASH: Raymond Dokpesi, Chair of @AIT_Online Africa Independent Television arrested over $2.1B arms purchase scam. Collected N2.1b from NSA

UPDATE:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today arrested the Chairman of Africa Independent Television, Raymomd Dokpesi, over the spreading arms purchase scandal involving the office of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, and the theft of N2.1billion from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Mr. Dokpesi was arrested shortly after noon, Nigerian time, and whisked to the EFCC, where he is now being interrogated.

EFCC sources told SaharaRerporters that on the instructions of the Mr. Dasuki, CBN paid N2.1billion to the AIT chairman.

Obviously, defence funds were meant to be used to prosecute the war on the terrorists, but the PDP rather diverted the funds and used it instead to prosecute the 2015 election.

Why is it that Nigerian youths are easily suppressd even despite their education. These are supposed to be adults being humiliated. If you've committed an offense, should cuttng grass like a slave be the punishment? This happened this morning in Ahoada East Local Government in Rivers state. NYSC officials refused to commence clearance until the corps members weed a portion of grass given to them. If they can be easily suppressed by an ordinary nysc official, how much more politicians governing their affairs. See More pics after the cut..
www.newseveryhour.com/2015/12/photos-of-nysc-corp-members-being.html

There is a reason why it is called 'national service'... Community service is a thing of pride all over the world, stop being irrationally paranoid and whining like you are the only one with an education.

Dragonking:
Go and read the write up again and not just the heading..... They are leaving the country because it is obvious that buhari cannot revive the economy as promised..... No fuel, no light, no N5,000 for unemployed youths, bokoharam is not yet crushed, the economy is dying faster since he entered....Nothing seems to work under buhari.....APC and buhari has scammed us....

...And your wonderful solution is to return Jonathan that put us halfway in this mess?

Hopefully this will end the current fuel scarcity. But now is the time for the FG to be bold, swallow its shame and scrap the subsidy regime now that the oil prices are still low. N500billion is equivalent to $2.5billion, that figure can build a brand new refinery.

IbokUtoroh:
so who r the poorest and how will they determine the poorest nigerians?
r u also saying graduates aint poor?
unemployed graduates rich for naija?
its serious. ...

Well, unfortunately that's the part of the story which APC did not elaborate to us, 'how to determine who falls in the poorest category.' In my opinion, this campaign promise is trash and even if possible (it's not possible), it will be a silly idea in a country like Nigeria to fulfil such a wild promise.

Good one.. this is the kind of news we should be hearing and not separatist protests or stories of how any region hates another region.

But by the way, what do they produce in a coconut factory?... Coconuts or coconut oil or coconut milk?

Truth be told, the promise I remember was N5k to the poorest and vulnerable Nigerians... Lai Mohammed may be right on this one.

Those with opposing views should provide evidence pointing to the contrary.

Gbam!

A simple call for orderliness and decorum, but will the wild ones amongst the separatists listen to this?

I have for the first time listened to this telephone conversation and these are my observations:

1. Contrary to my previous assumptions, this phone conversation sounds pretty authentic
2. This stance of the alhaji is the typical mindset of the average northern elite and the ordinary northerners towards the iyamiri (SS/SE) - There is nothing new or surprising about this.
3. While the rivalry between the Hausa and Igbos have always existed, Yorubas have always remained neutral and only got involved where the events benefits them. From the recording, the Kunle guy obviously did not support the the things the alhaji kept ranting about, but he kept mute in neutrality while the alhaji fired on (I wouldn't be surprised if it was Kunle himself who leaked this recording).

There is nothing new that has been revealed from this recording which we don't know; Hausas dont like the Igbos and vice-versa. The yorubas are opportunists who simply take advantage of the spoils of the Hausa vs Igbo rivalry. It is high time the Igbos truly defined who the real enemy is and work towards it instead of 'running away' or attacking everyone.

olumide81:
So it took you decades to realise this......the days of STV when ur business depends on state govt patronage before its survival it never occured to you that they were 'adults'.....stop talking the talk Mr talking sense.

What is this one talking about?... What is wrong with what Ben has said?... Are you just talking because you think you owe yourself a duty to talk and oppose whatever people say, or are you talking because you really have something to say?

See their faces, chasing politicians to get money and eventually missing road. Very soon they will tell us these ones are youths

d so called president should forget d past n focus d challenge s ahead. jus immerging 7 months in office, no project has been signed. all we hear is sack every day.flying from one nation to another. buhari should change bfo he crash one day

day.

Sometimes I just cant help but wonder if the people who keep making these kind of comments are humans or zombies. Trillions were spent on defense budgets yet our soldiers kept complaining that they lacked common bullets; hundreds, if not thousands of soldiers have died because those meant to supply them arms obviously diverted funds. Today investigations are ongoing and illegal diversions of large sums are being uncovered yet these are the kind of comments some Nigerians are coming up with?

Some are asking which weapons the present government has bought, some are asking the government to forget these diverted funds and move on with other projects... and I ask, with which money do you expect the present government to move forward even when you know the present economic conditions due to oil price crash?.... How can normal humans even reason like this?... What on earth is wrong with the black man?....

If the people making these cringe inducing comments were actually involved in the fraud or if they shared part of the loot, it would be understood. But that is not the case, some zombies just think they are defending GEJ with these silly mentalities they portray; they are obviously oblivious of the fact that it is criminals like this who diverted defense budgets, these are even the guys who ruined GEJ's government.

I would have been surprised, how could anyone possibly want to harm such a gentle and peace loving man?... The internet has now become a big danger with the way every nonentity just creates a false or disjointed story and passes it on as news.

In my opinion, I believe only God can save us from those bombs, though we need to put in some serious efforts.... To also correct a widely accepted misconception:
- Buhari gave the Nigerian military a deadline of December to crush bokoharam.
- Buhari did not say explicitly to Nigerians that bokoharam will be crushed by December.

There is a clear difference between both cases to the best of my understanding, but I don't expect people filled with anger to understand this. I'm sure a lot of them would quote me mercilessly.

TonyeBarcanista:
It's a shame that some people are bent on manipulating the mind of others in their bid to achieve an agenda. The whole idea was simply centred on "the north and yorubas hate the SS and Igbos/SE". It is a shameful and poorly acted script that isn't capable of convincing anyone. Not even the insane will fall except they deliberately choose to.

You need to understand the potency of 'constant propaganda' in the psyche of emotionally vulnerable people. You need to appreciate what it means for a person to be successfully brainwashed, it gets to a point where the manipulator doesn't even need to be smart about it any more; anything he says would be swallowed without thought. I never appreciated this potency until I started hearing of Nigerian suicide bombers.

Armaggedon:
he never implied whether he was in support or against the movement.

Stop quoting ignorantly

Jesus Christ!

You mean you read what I posted and you still came up with this conclusion that he never implied anything?... How could you with such comprehension ability possibly accuse another of being ignorant?

There’s a clamour for Biafra, how do you react to that?
Their leaders were here. They want me to lead them. Or they said it’s a prophesy that I should lead them.

Which of their leaders?
I will not tell you. I said to them, if you want me to lead you then you must drop your agitation and carry the bible and become what the bible wants you to be and resort to giving birth to yourself as a people be­fore you can give birth to the community. What do I mean? Every child of God is supposed to be a creator of wealth. You don’t need to depend on government and every child of God has Abraham as his covenant father. The Jews thrive anywhere they go without the government, supporting them. The Jews are great in creativity, great in wisdom, great in knowledge, they are not just rich in money they are rich in imagina­tion. They make the impossible possible, they have turned a barren land into fruitful land. The bible promises that no man who is a born again child of God shall be a disappointment and go empty handed. You have to demonstrate that first before you begin to blame other people for not helping. No man is a failure until he begins to blame others for his prob­lems. We need to discover God, discover what he can do for us, and hold on to him, he will turn our state of confusion into a state of fruitfulness.

Was that all you told them?
Yes. I made them discover what the bible says about them to give birth to the dream God has for them first before trading blames on others.

The cardinal foundation and ideology on which the present secession movement is based upon is that the progress of Igbos and the SE zone is being hampered by the SW and the North and that the SE zone will prosper beyond measure if it breaks away from 'the zoo' and alienates itself from the baboons in the zoo. In response to this ideology, the pastor says "No man is a failure until he begins to blame others for his problems" and yet someone who calls others ignorant is still unable to deduce the meaning of this response?

TonyeBarcanista:
Nameless Alhaji
Faceless Alhaji
100% Propaganda...

Whenever I see reports like the one contained in this thread, and I think about the whole secessionist agenda and the way the adherents swallow every rubbish they are told, I simply remember a line in one of Tuface's old tracks (u no holy pass).

...So dem start to use dem head
Use am like a dustbin
All the problem of the nation dem be dumping, in dem head
Slavery will start to set in....

Presently, the angry and brainwashed secessionists have traded any ability to reason which they previously had, they are now very mentally vulnerable and anybody, I mean any idi0t can simply cook up any trashy propaganda and dump it in their heads. As long as it suits their secessionist narrative, they swallow it expressly. I don give up!

Trentonline again!... how could humans be so petty in their approach all because they know there are many zombies out there ready to believe their trash. Even an idi0t knows that Nnamdi Kanu's radio biafra has a hand in this recording.

What kind of ethnic, tribal and religious division are these bastard devils trying desperately to create in Nigeria all because they lost their illegal means of livelihood under GEJ?... These people by all means are trying to brainwash as many as possible to ignite a violent uprising all because their illegal means of livelihood was cut short?

Now I'm beginning to believe the whole conspiracy theory that some powerful external forces are hell-bent on balkanising Nigeria in 2015. Even though 2015 is almost up, they are still not relenting.

Anyway, such evil can never prevail, they will all be consumed.

kingzizzy:
[b] I think you are being deliberately evasive as well being misleading. This write up of yours can only be taken serious by someone who thinks small. The major fact to keep in mind here is that Nigeria is a colonial contruct where the indigenous people in west Africa had their sovereignty stripped from them and bamboozled into a union without their permission. This makes Nigeria an illegal entity. It is not possible to lend credibility to an act of illegality. That is why the proponents of 'one Nigeria' will never win the argument against Biafrans or a referendum. You can never have 'unity based on fraud', you can only have 'unity based on consent'. Scotland may have fought with Britain but that was like 400 years ago. We are talking about today, in the 21st century not 400 years ago or 20 years ago as the case with Sudan. Why would anyone advocate war over referendum if they claim to be civilised? As an Igbo man who wants an independent Homeland of Biafra for my people, why should I be fighting with a Yoruba or Hausa man for my right to my sovereingty? Because Lugard came to tell us we are all Nigerians? Isn't that laughable to you?

So what are we fighting for? That is the wrong question. The right question is why Nigerians are prepared to fight and kill millions to maintain the dream of Lugard? When we were not together, we didn't kill each other . But Lugard came, now we are prepared to kill each other. Why?

As a Biafran, I would never force anybody into Biafra against their will but Nigeria will force everyone into it wether they like it or not. If the Yoruba man tells me he is seceding as Odua Republic, I will be happy for him. If the Hausa man tells me he will form Arewa Republic tomorrow, I will ask him if it is not possible for him to form it today. But when I as an Igbo mentions Biafra, everybody talks about war! You have to go and ask your country Nigeria why it has chosen the path of war like they did in 1967 when they came down to the East to start a shooting game. If Nigeria has to maintain its unity at the cost of killing millions of people, then you have to admit that in addition to Nigeria being a fraud it is also evil entity. Most civilised countries would 'move mountains' to safeguard the life of one of its citizens but Niferia will kill millions to safeguard its territory that has no integrity. It doesn't matter if Biafrans are agitating because GEJ lost or because it didn't snow in Sokoto yesterday, the bottom line is that if people don't want to be with you, then you have no business being with them. As for investments that Biafrans will lose, no amount of investment is greater than freedom.

The problem here is not Biafra, the problem here is the white mans invention called Nigeria.
[/b]

Be ye informed, there is hardly any nation in this world (including Biafra) which is not a man-made invention; and yeah, before any nation splits, there's usually a heavy toll which we should have in mind, it is not an issue peculiar to Nigeria... I am a south easterner myself but I totally do not share the view that I am enslaved by any other tribe to be desiring freedom; the enslavement which many Igbos suffer is a mental slavery occasioned from post-war trauma and only Igbos can emancipate themselves from that problem. The primary problem I believe we have is of leadership and if you disagree with me, kindly mention the injustices which Igbos face that is not also faced by virtually every other tribe in Nigeria?.... I do not believe that breaking away from Nigeria now with the attendant toll on investments and lives (possibly) will in anyway solve this our primary problem of leadership. So why should I sacrifice my investments all over Nigeria only to eventually realise that I still haven't solved any problem?... Regarding your willingness to lose investments, kindly speak only for yourself.

The only reason APC is not well represented in the SE is because south easterners willingly decided to banish APC. Under Jonathan, SE politicians were strategically positioned in PDP and they felt they were in good control. When APC surfaced, they refused to join due to the fear of being unable to strategise their way to the top as they did in pdp under jonathan. Hence they labelled APC a demonic party (even though they still ironically argue that apc = pdp).

Unfortunately, they never knew PDP could ever lose Abuja so soon. Now shame wouldnt let most of the politicians to embrace Apc.

This only proves one thing, it is the PDP that has been responsible for all these atrocities.

During the days of OBJ when he allowed only his close friends 'eat', we had these atrocities because a lot of PDP politicians who weren't allowed to 'eat' were angry. Fastforward to the time of GEJ, due to his weakness and nonchalance, every yusuf, tunde and emeka, irrespective of political affiliation or camp was freely stealing national wealth and feeding fat without a single opposition from the presidency. While everyone was feeding fat, the hunger-induced frustration of politicians was virtually absent. But today, PMB has plugged all the holes and prevented even his close friends from 'eating.' Hunger has set in, and with hunger comes frustration and with frustration comes desperation and with desperation comes this criminality.

I am not surprised at all that the hungry politicians have resumed killing themselves. Hunger is definitely the culprit!

Owerri (ebe ngwori) and Enugu (obodo oringo) are my favorite SE cities in terms of infrastructure, cleanliness, social activities, mentality and refinement of the people and peace of mind. I usually had a particular disgust for the twin cities of Aba and Onitsha for their rowdiness and filth; however, my recent trip to Onitsha few months ago completely left me dumbfounded. Whoever says a pig will always remain a pig definitely hasnt been to Onitsha lately. With good governance, ANYTHING can be achieved. I was particularly wowed by the european quality of even the most unimportant roads (all marked) within the city, not to talk of the cleanliness and fresh air. Someone who never went to Onitsha 10years ago will never understand my point.

Sadly, Aba is still a dejected huge refuse dump. Abians really need deliverance from useless leaders.

kingzizzy:
What is it with these Nigerians and war when it comes to the issue of Biafra? We Biafran agitators want a referendum in the SE/SS or the lower Niger so everyone can for once in their life decide if they are Nigerian or not, a privilege that Lugard never accorded our forefathers before he bastardised them with the name "Nigerians". This same referendum was conducted by Britain, that created Nigeria, just last year.


Nigeria is a forced union of ethnicities and that is why there will never be peace. You can't get happiness from the enslavement of others. None of us would be Nigerians if the British thief called Lugard had not come West Africa.

It is time for us to go and find our own countries. Nigeria is a scam

Godbless Biafra!

Do you know the reason why everyone is scared of war whenever Biafra is mentioned?... It's because Nnamdi Kanu was right when he said no nation achieves separation peacefully. A lot of pro-secessionists naively or should I say 'ignorantly' point to the referendum of Scotland, Republic of Ireland, Catalonia and even South Sudan. What most of these people do not appreciate is the fact that these nations have fought bloody wars for very long; Scotland has been fighting for independence for centuries (they still havent got it), South Sudan fought for theirs in a 22year long civil war, the Republic of Ireland fought for theirs for decades (go and read about the IRA), even in Spain, you should go read about the Basque separatist group. No nation achieves independence peacefully, so if we must fight another bloody war, we must ask ourselves what we are really fighting for, if that is really our biggest problem and if the cost of the fight will be commensurate with whatever benefit we stand to gain.

Nnamdi Kanu was also right when he said if Biafra lost over 2million souls in 1967-1970, that Igbos should be ready to lose up to 8million souls this time around if another war breaks out. No sensible Igbo man is ready to do that especially when there is currently no extenuating factor (such as the pogrom of 1967) fuelling a separation besides the fact that we made some wrong political decisions and lost a lot of political relevance from the last election. No sensible Igbo man or woman is ready to sacrifice the trillions upon trillions which Igbos own and control across Nigeria all because we are angry that GEJ lost an election. There is a reason Ojukwu formed the party called APGA instead of IPOB before he passed.

So, Femi Fani-Kayode is on a ranting spree this morning, in his latest tweet, he has laid into the action of President Buhari shaking the hand of Queen Elizabeth while he reportedly refused to shake the hand of some female ministers. Now lets remember those ministers Buhari refused to shake are Muslims and they in turn did not offer their their hands as they are aware of what their religion says about handshakes, Buhari not shaking hands with them is a sign of respect to the women and womanhood in general. The Muslim female ministers understand and appreciate this. Queen Elizabeth is not a Muslim so Buhari is free to shake her and am sure if he had refused to shake her, its the same FFK and his band of wailers who will call for his head and tag him a fanatic.
Now, my issue with FFK is that, he is also one of the pained losers in the opposition who can't get over PDP's bitter lose at the polls, think past it but keep raising unnecessary dust, confusing and misleading the public, If FFK is intelligent enough as he claims, he should have known and cautioned his mouth before vomiting rubbish that Buhari has shaked the hand of non-Muslim women in Nigeria. which am sure he knows but because he his blinded by hate which is slowly devouring his insides, he refuses to see it. How hard is it for FFK and his likes to play credible and strong opposition I ask?
Below are some pictures of women Buhari has meet and shook hands with.
Source:http://www.juicygossips.com.ng/2015/11/my-talk-on-ffks-rubbish-on-buharing.html

I'm surprised at this thread. Is there still any sane human on the planet that takes FFK's words seriously?

Sometimes I don't understand how Jonathan managed to just attract the dullest humans on Nigerian streets as his core supporters. What on earth is the meaning of this thread?... 150 heads of states visiting france for a summit and some imbeciles think the french should send senior government officials to receive every one of the 150 presidents?
