Then you must be ignorant or intellectually lazy not to know that the 1966 reprisal pogrom and riots in the north (vast majority being Hausa/Fulani) was an agitation for separation; in the 2014 National Conference, again the Lamido of Adamawa again stood up and spoke of the readiness of the north to accept separation; and the recent Arewa Youth declaration was in fact in support of IPOB secession, the Youths event went as far as to write to the United Nations to register their support for Biafra.

My friend; stop deceiving yourself with this foolish notion that northerners are afraid of Igbo secession - in fact the average northerner, particularly Hausa Fulani is already tired of Igbo insults and blackmail; they welcomed the Youths quit notice; its is only their leaders (as you can see) who are desperately trying to pacify them and preaching One Nigeria.

Its about time you guys wake up and smell the coffee.
While no one wants war; however, Igbos have succeeded in making themselves to one of the most hated tribe in Nigeria.
Let the insults and hate speech continue, sooner or later not even these outspoken leaders would be able to suppress northern anger resentment; and when it eventually spills over, no one would have to give Igbos notice, they too would know its time to leave the north - it is a pity that Igbos are yet to understand the implications of provocation.

What the man has simply said is that if GEJ remained on that seat under the current circumstances, the Naira would be about N2000 to $1 dollar by now (Venezuelan style). And judging from the way our reserves were speedily dropping to zero in the last months of GEJ when the oil price began to drop, the man isn't far from the truth.

Just to give you an insight, when oil prices began to drop, Nigeria's reserve dropped from $38.5bn to $28.5bn in 6 months before GEJ handed over to the new govt that came in and instantly enforced forex restrictions; meanwhile this rapid drop was happening when oil still sold above $60/bbl but the Naira still crashed from N160 to N230 despite all. You dont need to be reminded that oil price dropped to $28 last year.. While the forex restrictions may have affected business activities and chased impatient foreign investors away, it was a life saving measure cos you wouldn't want to imagine what would have happened had the reserves continued to drop at that rate down to zero; we wouldnt have been able to import even fuel and a litre would have sold for N1000. There's really no point explaining this further, I'm sure it makes no sense to you.

I don't usually respond to idiotîc posts but let me just give you the pleasure.

I'll become a Christian this night if you can just quote where it is written in the Holy Quran that a murderer will be rewarded with virgins. Does that make any sense to you?
Please use your brain, stop quoting "dem say"

Mouthgag:
That's why it is called violence.
No sane religion supports violence, even Islam.

Which beautiful democracy? . You can hate Buhari but stop peddling lies. The s called civilian government Buhari overthrew that most riff raffs re cruxifying him for was 10 times worse off than Balewa's first Republic government that Major Kaduna Nzogwu ended which still earned him accolades today. Any honest Nigerian will tell you t Nigeria became a dumping ground and eventually a banana Republic between 1979- 1983. Even rice fed to pigs in China was imported into this country fo human consumption. Shagari was literally powerless to check the excesses of his ministers especially the sacred transport minister; Alhaji Umaru Dikko. To hell with democracy. There are countries with benevolent dictatorship well off than democratic countries. Can u compare a despotic Libya of Ghadaffi with present democratic Libya? Or totalitarian Saddam-Iraq with present day parliamentary Iraq? Or point out to me which democratic country save the US that can best Chinese economy? What about theocratic-autocratic states lik Saudi, Quatar or even UAE-Dubai? Truth is if GMB military junta had stayed like IBB's, Nigeria would have bee an Asian tiger.

The population of Muslims of the world is about 2 billion.
The population of bokoharam, alkahida, isbulia, isis etc put together is not upto to 500, 000, that makes ratio 1:100000: so you see, you can't judge all Muslims as being terrorists.

There are voilent and fanatic people in every religion. The Christian crusaders have done worse in the past.
Adolf Hitler that killed millions of people including 6 million Jews was a Christian.

Ur proffered solutions look superficial and the reasons aren't far fetched. Firstly, you have an unrefined knowledge of the subject matter: Islam and radicalization. Ur diagnosis was wrong, hence ur prescriptions. Secondly, why don't you look beyond. Have u ever thought of what has been responsible for the unwavering peace enjoyed in Saudi Arabia till date? Which of ur solutions were implemented there?
To assist you, I hope you're aware of Obama's silence on Trump's allegation on d creation of ISIS and also H. Clinton's admittance of US'creation of ISIS and why? Hope you know the real cause of the crisis in Gaza strip? Coming home, hope u know d significance of the Borno empire in Nigeria's Islam history? Tell me a previous case of this kind of BH crisis the region is experiencing today? Are you saying Islam is new to the zone? Hope you know who orientalists are? Hope you know it was a reverend that first translate d interpretation of the meanings of the Quran into yoruba language?Why shud an engineer tell a surgeon how to perform a surgery?
What you should av advocated for is propagation of the real teachings of Islam and steering clear of non Muslims in the affairs of d religion. Not until ppl like u eschew defamation of Islam and come to terms with its preach of peace, then solutions will keep eluding us. I challenge

you to post the verses of the Quran or ahadith that preach or encourage terrorism.

You mumu
So you think your new testament is clean now?
I can still point out at least 20 cruel laws in your new testament.
By the way, what the hell do you mean when you said Christians corrected old testament will new testament?
When your Jesus said every word should be obeyed. AND THAT HE CAME TO FULFIL THE LAWS. Why didn't they just cut out the old testament completely?
Why are you people still using some of the old testament to preach?
For instance, your pastorpreneurs still use Malachi to preach about tithes...
HYPOCRITES!
In your mind now, you have sounded sensible abi with your copy and paste nonsense?

They should cancel Madrasah?
How about cancelling SUNDAY SCHOOLS? ODE
Some of your just reason with your anus.
Nonsense!

I wonder why some Nigerians would come together to form an association with the aim of criticising government if their non performance without proffering a single solution to the problems they are criticising. Previous government depleted the Treasury both foreign and local even when a litre if crude oil was selling above $100. 00 and now that it is selling below $50. 00 and the Niger Delta Militants are bombing the pipe lines thereby reducing the quantity of crude oil export. The government has developed interest in the production and exportation of Agricultural products of which their gestation periods are over two years, then these protesters are expecting miracles or magic to be performed. They should tell Nigerians what PMB should do as immediate solution otherwise they should keep quiet.

AkinPhysicist:
Thank you for your reasonable response. I also know that the vast majority of Muslims are not involved in terrorism - and shame to those that impugn all Muslims because of the actions of a few. However, there are some issues that arise in connection with the scriptures. So, could you shed light on the parts of the scriptures that call for the killing of unbelievers? This is one of the ways terrorists are radicalized - by showing them that the scriptures agree with it. Once again, thank you.

Some tiny brains are comparing senators with ordinary lecturers, do you know what it take to be a member of NASS, if it is that easy let the lecturers contest election to be members or senators in order to enjoy the benefits they get.

Lecturers are the first reason why our university system have collapsed, they are the once that do copy and paste research or asking for bribes or demanding sex from students, imagine an ordinary graduate assistant is paid 120k per month yet his mate that works in a ministry is paid 55k, all I will say is Nigerian lecturers are greedy and lazy.

If I were the president I will just concession the administration of all universities to private hands the they will be run like private universities, the government should then give bursary allowance to indigent students to pay fees in the universities

...it's high time the federal government put an eagle eyes on happenings especially financially on all nigerian campuses,govt created especially fed variations to self sustain itself and thereby educate generations,bt the school workers both the working and non working staff's have turned them to money making ventured,extorting from the students anyhow in the name of this fee or that fee,spreading lies that the federal government don't find them.and deceiving the people to support them emotionally when they embark on senseless strikes...let me make maser clearer; the schools governing councils once embark on strike To fight for autonomy for them to be in charge of controlling decisions within the school,when they were granted that,first thing they did was to increase by more than 100 percent the school fees.then the government intervened to bring the overbearing feel to affordability. again they were on strike demanding that their retirement ages be moved up from 65years across board for all civil servants to 70 years...that also lingers and was also granted before the constant charade if strikes for increases in salary and always foolishly comparing them self's with the earnings of lawsmakers,whilst not taking into account that the lawmakers creates the laws of the land that may make or Mar the nation and also that the lawmakers are not doing a permanent job.of Wich many will not be their after 4 years compared to them that will be there for 35 years..as good as it sounds.it is ryt to pay whichever type of workers hus or her entilements,but let know when to diferenciarte a strike for personal reasons of members of SSSU and when they are asking for the wellbeing of the school environment,go do your checks if you so care, govt still funds it's schools for continual developments as against what ASUU tell you.even if u give them a billions they would still not develop any skl.am speaking from from the voice of an isnsider....it is high time all forms of unionism is strictly checked....even in market places

Make all those first class go FUTO, make we know whether them no go reduce to 37.

As beautiful as your Epistle would have been, you did not remind us of what became our ECONOMY and TREASURY, when we had that dumbo, PhD Graduate Jonathan as the President, AT A TIME WHEN OIL PRICES WERE RECORD HIGH.....until Nigerians kicked him out with their PVC!

Hypocrites like you are all over the place "chasing Ring-Worm while allowing Leprosy to fester".
Even if Buhari was a professor and magician combined, the way Jonathan and his forty thieves looted the treasury, the falling price of crude oil combined with the criminal destruction of our oil facilities by your blodders means Buhari can only try his best, AS "YOU" LAY YOUR BED, SO YOU WILL LIE ON IT.

OBJ was not a graduate President but he did for Nigeria, hundred times more, what Jonathan could not dream-of.

Please face reality or keep #wailing till 2023. All these 5% ranting will not win election for the 5%! Not in the past, not in the future

sapele914:
Notwhitstanding whether you like Buhari or not,it is the duty of all Nigerians to protect our national assets. This is pure treason and those so called criminal bombers (ijaw military wing of pdp) are saboteurs punishable by death.

ofwest47:
let them continue destroying their region unfortunately for them they still rely on the North and south west for their food supply as nothing grows in form of food plants on their devastated region sea fish is very expensive in the area due to the high pollution of the sea till date they still depend on "Oku Eko" imported fish for their fish supply for food. When the head is off it will be too late to cry so let them continue.

dotman4real007:
they are enjoying themselves bombing pipelines, but lets say the truth these militants are just tools used for political and financial purpose. They are puppets nothing more.
