Did u read what u posted at all, or your dick just rose and you decided to post.


Has Buhari ever taken responsibility for anything

But Tinubu took $3b loan from Afrexim using future crude oil sales as collateral, so blaming past governments and absolving this one is just mischief at play here.

Conspiracy theorist in chief....just pull bunkum out of Ur anus and start spreading myopic narratives.....sad thing is there are many headless buffoons out here who would swallow your cock and bull story hook, line and sinker.

Simple thing, bring a superior argument. If this guy insults you, you will start to call mods that you are being insulted.

Mynd44:
Whoever taught you econonics owes you a profound appology

Can you kindly provide your own explanation?

olas24u:
Younare confusing yourself ,you wrote per capita and now you said gdp again.Gdp is the total amount of goods produced in a place .divided by the population indicates that when the money is divided this what will reach every individual in the state .So those states have more land areas and have population inside them than anambra. Anambra as a small area with few population also.

Oga stop deceiving yourself. From the beginning of my mentioning i said both GDP and Per Capita income. Haaa gear God and stop lying to people. GDP isba measur of how wealth is distributed in a population. If your GDP is poor then the given population there do not have efficient wealth distribution hence people are poorer there. So using population of Anambra as an excuse is just rubbish and a senseless argument.

porthouse7:
what the Bleep is this? Does that stop South from escaping to South West

Show me statistical figures on the escape. What is the percentage of the population there that has been escaping and show me the trend analysis for the last 30 years let us see if it is reducing or increasing. Oya show me the data and statistics.

olas24u:
You are the stupid person because population is a factor in the calculation of GDP per capita..The southeast states can't survive without federal money.Only anambra can try .The rest rely on lagos money and nigerdelta.GDP is divided by the population to get per capita

Oga try and have sense. GdP shows how the distribution of wealth is per population. Anambra has a better GDP and Per Capita income than Oyo State. Also let me break it down for you apart from Lagos, other SW states will collapse without Niger Delta Allocation l.

So why una take am go there. Disillusional people they need to be fined for frivolously lawsuits.

You see why I said you should have gone back to primary school to learn basic comprehension. Where did you see me take it there?

Stupidity is staring back at you in the mirror.

Oga you are the one stupidity is staring at very well.

porthouse7:
Useless 5 landlocked states , give them 10 States,they will still escape every night to South West

Look at the landlocked region you are abusing. Try and have sense.

gabbytabby:
Greedy people would always want some more. Now they will become laughing stock.

Small area and population with more than generous allocation already.

Oga you people should quit this propaganda. Ecowas court has no jurisdiction over this case. Stop being stupid.

olas24u:
You have just wasted the money of Nigerian justice ministry ,Those people that went to court normally think the way you think.they are not victims .29 thousand square meter area divided by 5 and you still want more ?And you cant turn that small space to dubai with the federal allocation?Oyo ,kogi ,Niger state are all bigger and some are almost the same size with the whole of southeast

But one state Anambra has a better GDP and Per Capita income than Oyo, Kogi and Niger states. So stop this show of stupidity.

tundegan:
Why are they still whining about state creation? Six states are more than enough for them.

C'mon Shatap

Salewa97:
Even the court no want hear their matter.

6th state ko, 7th state ni. Who go share the states for them?

Go and get a decent job to do and stop scavenging over 30k propaganda salary.

PressMyButton:
As a law abiding country with respect for the rule of law, Nigeria Government must abide by this ruiling and henceforth quash any bills of state creation in the SE pending before the national assembly.



Gradually, the world is getting to realize that the victim playing of our neighbors from across the Niger is nothing but a mere charade and a narrative lacking in substance.

God bless Nigeria.

Oga you are really a purveyor of fake news. How does Ecowas court decide a country's geopolitical sovereignty? Oga cool down with all these propaganda. You really need to be arrested for incitement so that you will stop.

NOETHNICITY:
It is not about what anyone is telling me! It is about REALITY!
Ohh are you saying that subsidy wasn’t costing trillions monthly?
Are you saying the country was burrowing to pay subsidy monthly under GEJ and Buhari?

Hold on bros why subsidy was gulping billion was because of the corruption. The president so far has not even done an audit of the previous subsidy regimes. Again there's no country in this our world that doesn't have some form of energy subsidy. The truth is the current subsidy regime which was formulated in the military era was obsolete. It needed to be rejigged. The use of Naira 4 crude is also another form of subsidy which would have gone a long way of truly NNPC and the minister of petroleum are sincere.
Let me ask you, you said they were borrowing for subsidy right. Why has Tinubu not carried out an audit of the subsidy regime to get defaulter to refund the money or risk jail time. He just gave them a pass
Please let us be sincere for once.

He should gerrout...Why not following and make inputs from the inception of the crisis

Please see the statement from Senator Dickson. They didn't want to allow an Open Plenary for there to be discussions on this before voting on the SOE issue.

Today at the sitting of the Senate, the issue of the President’s proclamation of a state of emergency in Rivers State came up for discussion and as I have stated repeatedly, I raised my objections in the closed session on how the declaration fell short of constitutional prescription, based on my view as a Democrat, sworn to uphold the Nigerian constitution.

The Senate did not undertake the debate in an open session however, it was quite robust. I want to thank Sen. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal for his strong support of the unconstitutionality of the declaration, especially the aspect that deals with the suspension of the elected officials of the Rivers State government.

At the end of the day, majority of the senators supported the proclamation as no room was given for an open debate at plenary. I left the plenary before the Senate President was directed to report the outcome because I didn’t want to be present while what I opposed is being reported. I believe Senator Tambuwal, Senator Abaribe and others equally left too.

I want to make it clear that as I stated repeatedly, I spoke and voted against the proclamation in our closed session, supported by Senator Aminu Tambuwal and a few other senators who were not recognized to speak.

And so I want to thank all the senators who shared the view that I vigorously canvassed.

I am however aware of the efforts made to modify the declaration as a result of the concerns and views we have expressed and canvassed the past few days. Though I acknowledge the effort being made by the leadership and President to moderate the terms of the declaration and to create a mechanism for oversight, theoretically this does not counter the primary issue of constitutionality.

The beauty of democracy is such that the minority will have their say while the majority their way. I would have wished for a more robust and open debate so that all views and opinions can be openly canvassed as I requested even at the closed session specifically and thereafter, the majority can have their way but as it is, both chambers have decided and the ball is now on the court of the other arms of government, especially the judiciary, in the event of any challenge.

My attention has also been drawn to a viral video showing parts of the unfortunate exchanges between the Senate President and I before we desolved to the closed session.

As I said on the floor, the Senate President was very unfair to me by trying to censor my freedom of expression and by deliberately misrepresenting the import of what I said in the broadcast yesterday which was the same thing I said on the floor today. It is my opposition in principle to the declaration of a state of emergency, as well as the suspension of elected officials.

I thank all those who have called to commend my composure under unnecessary and unexpected attempt at intimidation. Everyone, including the Senate President, knows I have long gone beyond that stage in my life.

The Senate as I said is a meeting of equals and everyone should be respected just as we accord respect to the Chair. No senator needs the permission of the senate president to express an opinion in an interview on a topical matter of national interest that is in the public domain.

I intend to meet the Senate President to formally express my displeasure, to prevent a reoccurrence.

I thank my constituents, Nigerians and all people of goodwill who have called to express solidarity and urge them not to be dismayed at the direction our democracy appears to have taken.

For someone like me who has been in trenches over the years, all these challenges are actually a call to duty and I therefore implore all people of goodwill to come together and ensure that participatory democracy is promoted in our country.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Rivers State.

There were Senators and Representatives from the PDP, Labour Party, and NNPP. None of them walked out. None of these opposition Legislators complained that the process of securing a two-thirds majority was not transparent, free and fair. None of them challenged the result of the voice vote. So, if you think the National Assembly got it wrong, then you should name the Senators and Representatives whose voices were not heard.

If you can't do that, then rant your piece and grant us our peace.

Oga this was from Senator Dickson. Akpabio didn't give room for an Open plenary, and they hurried to vote yes to the SOE.

"I have closely followed developments in Rivers State in the past two days, and my initial silence was informed by the desire to let the authorities and parties in the conflict to do what is right."

another joker!
So, the events at Rivers State started 2 days ago Elder statesman, you were sleeping Sir

Anyways, all opposition leaders....NNPP, LP, PDP should bury their heads in shame, for their inability to prevail over their members at the NASS!
It clearly shows their members do not respect their parties...internal democracy at those parties is zero!

One of them was even issuing a statement to elected NASS members from his party on social media ...very sad one!

Anyways, it's clear there is no opposition in Nigeria...and you guys will selfishly give power to APC and Tinubu in 2027...I just don't see how you can defeat this man.

Nonsense!

Try and comprehend simple English. He said he has been following for the past 2 days.

NOETHNICITY:
I absolutely disagree with you on the bolded

There is no way Nigeria could have survived realistically by subsidizing fuel, and the economy was simply surviving on burrowed time supporting the Naira

Let’s be sincere with ourselves for once
I’m tired of deceiving myself

That is what you have been made to believe or what you want to mischievously spread to justify the wrong action taken. First of all floating a currency when you don't have the means to cushion the effect is like going to fight a war by giving your soldiers blank bullets. Then to sound the final death knell, you now decided to remove subsidy allegedly. A country that you know that fuel has a multiplier effect on the economy, and coupled with floating the currency is a double whammy on the economy.

Wike got nothing on this man because he only got 6 months to rule so if Wike and his boys do anyhow, Dem go collect .

You are smoking dried cow dung.

Shegebanza:
I thought those IPMAN fools said imported fuel is now cheaper than Dangote's? Dangote, NNPC and IPMAM are same coin of both sides.

This IPMAN move is just NNPC and government trying to play propaganda games.
This government should learn you cannot grow economy via propaganda and lies.

lekonso:
But it is not criminal to sell made in Nigeria crude oil to Dangote in dollars. So you expect Dangote to buy made in Nigeria crude oil in dollars and sell petrol to Nigerians in naira. Does that make any sense to you?

He will sell to the marketers in dollars. So it will be like they are importing fuel.

Dogalmighty17:
But the NNPC has denied suspending the naira for crude swap. For dangote to be demanding to be paid in dollars now means the NNPC lied.

Obviously they lied.

MadamExcellency:
Dangote's decision is unconstitutional. The naira is the only legal tender in Nigeria.

Lawlessness breeds Lawlessness.

How? It is NNPC that decided to discontinue the Naira for crude initiative. The same IPMAN do buy fuel abroad and bring it here, is it in Naira they buy it or dollars? The truth is the best subsidy would have been this Naira for crude initiative, it eases the pressure on dollar and makes fuel available at cheap price.
This clearly shows you that the minister of Petroleum and NNPC do not care about the interest of the common man.
The greatest blunder ever made by the president and minister of petroleum was removing subsidy allegedly and floating the Naira. We are in this economic mess because of it.

US National Assembly and Donald Trump nko? Is that a Plastic Stamp ?

C'mon shatap there. Obama and republican controlled Congress were they rubber stamp?

CoronaVirusPro:
Mention one country in the world where the National Assembly is not an appendage of the executives?

That’s the weakness of democracy's!

If you ever find a rift, it’s because of internal rift in ruling political party

During Obama's time the Congress was never an appendage of the executives. Make una dey talk true for once.

Obiedun:
While el-Rufai was giving a press conference inciting Nigerians against their lawfully constituted government and condemning the Rivers Emergency Declaration, his own son was at the House of Representatives and did not challenge the declaration. He cannot get his son to do his dirty work, so it is you here on social media that he has come to incite, because your life and future do not mean as much to him as his son's life and future.

Did you see El-Rufai's son's vote? Did he tell you that he voted in support of emergency rule? Please answer this.

Ikaeniyan0:
Something has to be done to quench the fire because it won't stop in Rivers. For peace sake, the national assembly had to support it even though they could have crush it

There was really no fire in Rivers if we want to tell ourselves the truth. There was no riot or breakdown of law and order. The pipeline vandalisation was a classic false flag operations to give an excuse for SOE, and is it not all too convenient that the pipeline started working the next day. For a pipeline that was seriously vandalised.

Igbo:
All the Rivers state people love your decision except some thugs with some little Ibo bloods in them

Meanwhile someone should tell this vegetable to go and rest

Until you get arrested then you will mention the thugs with igbo blood. You really don't know that inciting people against a tribe is a criminal offence attracting jail time. You should be smart to read the room, the polity is inflamed already and DSS people are all over social media monitoring posts, it doesn't take much to track you and pick you.
