Leave the youth to maintain their daily feeding duty .

Nothing wrong has ever happened to the pipelines ever since the youth started guiding the pipeline territory.

Buhari is not fit to calm down common boko-haram, but He is now trying to cause more higher problem by disrupting the peace which GEJ laid in Nigeria before His resignation.

Hmm tribalism is gradually enveloping buhari's administration but it will end up destroying His administration........

Trouble is smelling and it's loading..................

Leave youths to continue their daily feeding duty by using guns to rob people right?... Just like the myopic northerners supported BH until BH became out of control monsters and engulfed them.

You say nothing happened to pipelines when youths were guiding them?... You never heard of the 400,000 barrels per day oil theft which happened in the last 5 years and which even forced Shell to close operations and leave Delta state completely?... 400,000barels/day is same as $40million/day and $1.2billion/month and $14.4billion per year. Multiply that by 5 and you get $72billion lost in 5 years under the brilliant youth/militant contract of pipeline protection and you think nothing was wrong with that?

Or probably you assume the money lost were lost to Niger-Deltans (who own the oil) so therefore it is okay. But may I remind you that the biggest players in the oil bunkering game are mainly from the north and south-west and those Niger-delta youths/militants are only paid peanuts like slaves for polluting their own environment but of course, for some weird reason, you think this is okay.

..And finally, you call the arrest of criminals tribalism?.. No comments!

wordcat:
Let there be NO selective justice!

That's all I have to say;

What is good for Bello is good for Onanefe.

You speak as if you are certainly sympathetic to some of the criminals due to ethnic sentiments but I can assure you this is a very wrong application of ethnic sentiments or brotherhood. How can you possibly support and defend the miscreants who terrorise your own people all because they are from your region?... What you have just said sounds like, "why should the police only arrest the robbers operating in my neighbourhood?... what about the robbers operating in other neighbourhoods?"

If I have armed robbers operating in my village, I would be happier if the police attends to the robbers operating in my village first before any others. I wonder why this simple logic doesn't apply in the bigger picture, or maybe we are all myopic and are incapable of seeing the big picture. If the militants in the creeks are allowed to grow into uncontrollable monsters (just like BH was allowed), who would suffer more from their menace?... Isn't it the same Niger-Deltans (the innocent ones of course)?... I remember early 2009 when militancy was at its peak. Travellers going along the east-west road from warri to PH were continuously harassed and robbed by militants in broad day light and nobody, not the police nor army could do anything about it. The question I ask is, "who uses the east-west road more?... Isn't it the southeasterners and innocent niger-deltans?" ...Just go to Warri today and ask Agofure bus drivers who ply that route most to explain to you their experiences in 2008/2009.

Anyway, just for your information, the army has not pulled out of the NE. As a matter of fact, army HQ has only just been moved to the NE to boost the fight against the northern terrorists. You may have not heard of any military bombings of BH recently but that is because BH forces and camps have already been decimated by the military operations which took place prior to the elections. What is left in the fight in the NE is to fish out the remaining BH fighters carrying out isolated suicide bombings.

[size=13pt]All criminals should be brought to their knees. We cannot continue to live in a jungle nation where criminals reign supreme. North, east, west or south, criminals should never be celebrated or allowed to exist for any reason, be it political, ethnic or religious.

A lot of misguided and myopic Nigerians are presently defending and glorifying miscreants all for the sake of ethnicity, I laugh at this pure case of foolishness and quick amnesia.

Remember this was exactly how myopic and illiterate northerners were supporting Bokoharam because they believed BH was killing Christians and destabilising GEJ's government. Not until BH grew into an uncontrollable monster and started consuming their own people before the people realised their collective folly.

Now I see the more educated and enlightened southerners about to repeat the same dumb cycle of the northerners by referring to sea pirates/kidnappers/robbers/bunkerers/rapist as 'innocent people' all because the president is from the north.

Flets:
Its hypocrisy to reject subsidy removal in 2012 only to accept same in 2015 by same people. This move will be given different tribal interpretation in a long time.

Are we ready for the impact of officially selling PMS at 160 naira per litre in lagos and 230naira per litre in maiduguri and sokoto?

Are we ready to buy a cup of garri for 100 naira?, Are we ready to pay 50% more on food items coming down to the south?

What is the inflation impact? What will cushion the inflationary impact?

Until our trains are effective enough for transport of goods and max. production of our existing refineries and commence construction of new ones by the private sector....... It will be a premature move.

barcanista:
The same subsidy that the cabals and Nigerians kicked against in 2012? Mr. Buhari we will return to the streets if you remove subsidy without adequate palliative.

eagleeye2:
The same subsidy some of supported the GEJ led administration to remove, and APC called us Saboteurs..... the same subsidy that saw us witnessing #occupyNigeria...... the same subsidy that claimed a few lives.

When will Hypocrisy en in Nigeria?

omolami:
This is a surprising news to me. This same Buhari criticised Gej in 2012 for attempting to remove subsidy. Why is Buhari not sincere in criticising Gej. Absolutely, Buhari has been doing the same programme done by Gej. A copycat and plagiarist. Shame, shame and shame. No personal idea of his own .

atiakatata:
The old dullard is a typical example of moving without motion. A govt run on hear-say, gossips and maybes. . . . The monkey is so confused that newspaper reporters now take the lead to publish ideas for him . . .


We can also talk about the hypocrisy of the sophisticated people of the Land of the coward slaves who came to Ojota to shout against this in 2012 when it was done in good faith.

We can also talk about the Parasite terrorists who want fuel to sell at the same price in Lagos at Kano and Maidiugri which by all means defeats reasoning and all Economic postulations.

What we should do is to build a fence between Biafra land and the zoo and have everyone rule themselves as they deem fit.

TheFreeOne:


I hope those APC members/self-styled activists that occupied ojota and protested Gej proposed removal of subsidy will show face to do the usual

If subsidy is removed today, there would be protests, but the protest wouldn't come anywhere close to the 2012 #OccupyNigeria protests for several reasons:

1. Fuel currently sells above 120 across the country and it's still scarce in certain locations. Even if subsidy removal pushes the price up to 130 or 140 (wouldn't be up to this amount due to low crude prices), the impact and shock wouldn't be felt as much as the N65 to N142 inflation.

2. In 2012, GEJ's government told Nigerians that a group of people were collecting subsidy but were not importing products. Since the government was too weak to arrest or punish or even check the excesses of these few people (friends of the government), they decided to remove subsidy which consequently pushed pump price from N65 to N142. That was a very silly reason by all standards, hence Nigerians rejected it in its entirety. If Nigerians had even just a little confidence in the government of GEJ to tackle the fraudulent cabal, half of the people who came out to protest wouldn't have hit the road. 3 years later, those same cabals are still free men living large and flying around in private jets. There goes the exact reason Nigerians never trusted the government.

3. In 2012, the government of GEJ appealed to Nigerians to tighten their belts and accept an over 105% increase in fuel prices. The government also promised to use the monies saved from removal of fuel subsidy to develop Nigeria. Nigerians simply did not trust the government to keep their words because the government then was known for unprecedented extravagance and corruption. This is not the case of the present government because apart from GEJ supporters, everyone else (Nigerian majority) knows the present leader is less extravagant, less corrupt and certainly more trustworthy.

So this absolutely has nothing to do with hypocrisy. Nigerians did not protest in 2012 because they didnt like GEJ. Several other clear reasons fuelled the 2012 protests and it would certainly be a different ball game if the present government attempts the same subsidy removal stunt today.

[color=#27408B]Do you know how many army generals are boko haram sympathizers? If you're close to the military, you'd understand what I'm saying.

I'm not going to argue with you. It's clear you're part of those that are willfully blinded to the truth because of the hatred for GEJ's government.

Look beyond your nose bro. Have a nice day![/color]

Did you say I am blinded by hatred?..lol

For a second, put aside the Jonathanian sentiments blocking your judgement and listen to yourself. There's a saying that "when a man begins to think everyone else in the community has gone mad, he should check himself closely"

Have you ever wondered why it is only die-hard Jonathan supporters that always see the "film trick" you keep alleging?... You sincerely believe the whole world is crazy and being deceived by APC with a staged war in the NE but only Jonathan supporters are wise enough to see the truth?

Very soon you will also claim that all the people being killed by BH in the NE are also stage managed?... People are dying and going through hell everyday in the NE, men women and kids, yet your blind love for GEJ has twisted your mind to feel it's all a conspiracy theory. It's not your fault, humans are naturally evil hearted when it doesnt concern them. Maybe if you had a relative who's a victim of the terror in the NE, that sentimental log would fall off your eyes.

AgapeCharis:
[color=#27408B]If the chibok girls abduction cpuld6br scripted and well played, then the abduction you're talking about is a walkover.[/color]

Are you suggesting the Nigerian army that raided several bokoharam camps, freed the captives and showed the freed captives to the world are also a part of your alleged nollywood movie?... Remember the freeing of those 600+ captives was done by the NA under GEJ's regime.

If you say the Nigerian army under GEJ staged those episodes for APC, I suppose the Nigerian Air force also staged the aerial videos of the bombardments of BH camps and those videos of fleeing BH fighters were also staged the same day those captives were released right?

Well, I have no words for you and all your co-travellers. But just wait for the day your loved one would be kidnapped and then people come online and tell you it was staged. You will surely remember these your words.

porka:
[size=13pt]Are those the 'missing' Chibok girls?[/size]

I'm not saying they are chibok girls, I'm only just drawing attention to similar atrocities by the terrorists which have been confirmed.

For example, if a confirmed serial rapist in Borno is accused of raping a girl in a Borno village called Chibok, can you give me one reason why I should doubt the story?

Positiveminds:
When Asari said the Chibok thing was a scam the gullible ones shouted him down. Now isn't it clear that he is right after all? The questions not still answered are these?

Where did the Chibok girls disappear to?
Why were the children of the Principal and Vp not amongst those kidnapped, since they all were writing the same exams?
Why is it that the military does not have a trace of the kidnapped girls when the made foray into the Sambisa forest ?

So many questions to ask. Their evil plot against God's annoited leader will remain a pain to the North for years to come. No appologies.

What about the over 600 women and teenage girls that the Nigerian army freed from captivity after they destroyed bokoharam camps in the weeks before the elections?... Are they also scam?

wirinet:
Na wa o. You are taking this Ben Bruce's affair too personal. Are you related?

Ben Bruce does not need to sit in the Senate chambers before he can expose his revolutionary ideas on how he can better the lot of Nigerian workers (or at least his senatorial district). He did not need to sit in the hallowed chambers before he exposed his ideas on how he can assist Osun workers. I am talking about ideas, i have not talked about introducing any bills yet.

The greatest tragedy of black Africa is that we lack men of ideas, me who propagate ideas on how to develop our societies. What we have are men who propagate religion, emotions and egocentric vanities.

Please tell us Ben Bruce's ideas of how to achieve a better working condition for Osun workers, or does he intend to set up a charity foundation to help Osun workers perpetually?

I am not related to Bruce but of course I am very angry at the response he is getting from Nigerians for attempting to be on the side of the masses.

This is a man who has a choice to simply join his fellow elites and bleed the nation but he is presently making attempts to challenge the conscience of his colleagues. Instead of being encouraged, he is being severely bashed from all sides with a barage of insults per second. This is the exact reason why good men never bother to join politics and even the few that join eventually join the diabolics after they are crucified by the same people they think they are trying to defend.

Now I am not saying Ben is a good man but at least he is attempting to be one here and should be encouraged (not crucified) if he must succeed in his new found good cause. I hope you get my anger?... Nigerians need to identify who their real enemies are and stop attacking bystanders.

As for your talk on ideas, 2 weeks is too early for him to start divulging his plans. You need to be patient.

...and I keep wondering, what would have been the fate of Nigeria if GEJ was allowed to continue his transformtion till 2019?

God truly loves us more than we love ourselves.

wirinet:
I do not usually hate or love people, i love or hate people's ideas. Ben Bruce has just been engaging in cheap publicity stunts since he had been elected senator. He has not introduced any revolutionary ideas on how he will make an impact using his legislative privileges. He has not told us on how he can sponsor a bill to prevent the Osun situation and employers owing employees for months (which is a huge problem in Nigeria). Instead he is playing to the "Galleria" about donating a wardrobe allowance to Osun workers or never flying first class by fly business class. javascript:void(0);

It is embarrassing for foriegners to open Nairaland and see what Nigerians and their public officers are arguing about.

The NASS was inaugurated barely 2 weeks ago and there's been no sitting since the inauguration. Yet you are here judging a man for not introducing any bills in this 2 weeks old assembly that has not sat?.. Are you for real?

You know when you begin to 'hate' on a person, you begin to make ridiculously irrational criticisms of the person's every move such as what you are doing presently. Hate just like anger are 2 sides of a coin; when you are angry with or when you hate a person, you can hardly make rational decisions or judgements. Promising to donate wardrobe allowance or never flying first class (even when he can afford it), I do not see anything wrong in both statements and they are even none of my business. However, these irrelevant things have sparked a sharp resentment in you towards the man. I'm sorry to say but that is called 'hating' because your reasons are irrational.

FYI, no hater every agrees that they hate; as a matter of fact, 'haters' genuinely do not know when they start 'hating' and I believe that is your case presently.

wirinet:
What are you saying? You are just arguing over irrelevances. I know Ben Bruce personally and i can tell you that he is a very extravagant person. He had never identified or sympathized with the poor, he is ultra elitist.

Now where did you get the absurd idea that the wage bill of Osun civil servants is N24 million? Is the N24millon the wage bill for the 8 months being owed? N24 million would not even pay Osun worker per day. So you are saying Aregbesola does not have N24 million to pay his workers.

What effect would a measely N500,000 have on a debt of over N30billion? (sorry i mistakenly wrote N110 billion for Osun, the N110billion is the debt for all states in the federation). A simple search would reveal Osun monthly wage bill is N3.6 billion.

If Ben Bruce can fly Business class, why can he not fly first class. The difference between first class and business class is very small. I thought he was trying to insinuate that he identifies with the poor, so one would expect him to fly economy.

The 24million I mentioned was the alleged wardrobe allowance. When he was told on twitter that they would recieve that amount (24m), he said he wasnt aware of such obscene payment but promised that if paid, he would donate the cash (24m) to the workers of Osun state as relief, just like some others have been donated food items.

Donating the cash as relief is not the same as offsetting the wage bill of the state. He never said he was planning to pay off the salaries of all Osun workers and he was never referring to 500,000naira when he made the statement. I don't know where you are getting these weird ideas from.

I do not know why you have decided to hate this man so much as if he is the worst leader ever in Nigeria. It's really pathetic that Nigerians do not know who their real enemies are. Okay, the man has said he doesnt fly first class, so what is the big deal if he flies business?... Did he tell you or anyone that he doesnt fly business class?... Are you even slightly aware of the massive difference between first class and businness?

BMedia:
I like the way you patiently expose that individual, they are just bitter that a northerner is attacking criminals in the south because they know it's a show of force, which will expose the emptiness of all their threats, and it destroys their propaganda of the North being the the only nest of bombers and terrorists because everyone is then reminded of the true criminal nature of these' freedom fighters'.

That these elements do not realize it is their own communities that will be safer FIRST by attacking the criminals is absolutely mind blowing.

It completely beats my imagination why these elements cannot see beyond their nose to realise that it is indeed a good thing if the criminals in thier domain are eliminated first.

Lol..

Every state seems to be rejecting the siting of a nuclear plant in their domain. Isn't it supposse to bring jobs and revenue?

Truth is, Nigeria has absolutely no business harnessing nuclear energy except we want to annihilate ourselves. We have several other viable options for power generation.

NellyGhenghen:
You all saying we should calm down need to chill, no 1 cares what he flies. Bottomline is the man ITK has been too much of late, for so long we v had to endure his unending fake unnecessary talks and holier than thou power rangers attitude. Only for us to find this out? Its very embarassing now..

What did you find out?.... Did he say he doesn't fly business class?... Are you aware there's a huge difference between business and first class?

Nigerians never know who our real enemies are. This is the exact reason why good men never bother to join politics in Nigeria because they would be ostracised, blackmailed and punished by their evil peers, then the masses whom they think they are trying to defend would crucify them.

redsquare:
Nigerians get bad mouth sha. .
Seriously, Murray Bruce to me was just using the 'flying economy class' ish to deceive gullible electorates into believing that he is down to earth and not extravagant. This is media stunt he used to score cheap political point. This is the same man that wrecked NTA when he was the DG.

Can you kindly shut up and point out to me where Bruce said he flies only economy?... How does "I dont fly first class" equate to "I fly only economy class"?... Aren't you aware there's something inbetween called business class?

Why are we like this in Nigeria?... we never know who our real enemies are but we are always comfortable demonising the few who stand up for us. This is the exact reason why good men/women never bother to join politics in Nigeria because they would be ostracised, blackmailed and punished by their evil peers, then the masses whom they try to defend would crucify them.

Did you say Bruce wrecked NTA when he was DG?... Are you for real or are you just trying hard to sound silly?

babajero:
Give the Igbos the freedom they require and you be amazed what they can produce. They don't answer the china of africa for nothing.

Which other freedom do we need to produce this?... Innoson is already doing something similar. Give us power supply, give us reasonable governors/leaders in the southeast and give us a functional sea-port and you will see things like this being actualised easily.

wirinet:
Ben Bruce says he had NEVER flown first class but flies Business class.

Ben Bruce says he his donating his wardrobe allowance of about N500,000 to offset over N110 billion being owned Osun workers.

Ben Bruce is obviously playing to the "Galleria"

1. When he made the pledge to donate his allowance to Osun workers, he was referring to the originally alleged amount of 24million naira.
2. Donating allowance doesnt mean offsetting the allowance of all Osun workers.
3. Business class and first class are very different things (although I agree the brag about "not flying 1st class" was unnecessary)

Cut the man some slack but if at least you want to criticise, do so with the right info.

So senator ben bruce took to twitter to show us once again that he is proudly Nigeria.

But he might have slipped showing pictures of himself in what definately looks life a firstclass cabin

Nigerians came for him and he tried to defend it by saying it is a business class.

what is the difference between business and firstclass

THis is business class, not first class. They are clearly not the same things, but obviously, a lot of people have no idea.
