Just like the FG crushed the Biafran terrorists, militants will be defeated. Bokoharam has been reduced to a toothless dog. They can only bark but can't bite

What these people fail to realize is the shame and ridicule the biafra movement has become ever since Nnamdi kanu was discovered to be a fraud and arrested by the Nigerian government. Right to self determination is a treasonable offense against the Nigerian state because it's not captured in our Constitution. It is totally illegal for any region or group of people to demand seccession from Nigeria. The penalty would have been death if we were in a military regime. The Indian government recently opened fire on secessionist in the Kashmir region of India just to serve as a deterrent to future agitators. Despite having a referendum, Scotland chose to remain in the UK cos they for-saw their impending doom if they decide to leave. The Spanish government have disregarded several calls for catalonia to break away from spain. Russia recently annexed crimea from Ukraine after the crimeans got tired of life outside the soviet Union. The people of South Sudan are regretting their decision to leave Sudan till today and yet the Igbo's are hell bent on having biafra despite all the glaring indices of an impending failure if biafra is ever achieved. No country in the world wants a break away of its territory. Even the United States that preaches freedom disregarded Texas's call for seccession. The reason for seccession of the Igbo's has not been clearly defined. The fruitless agitations is fuelled by hate and jealousy of other region's political stability and doggedness. Their political miscalculations in the last elections gave birth to the recent biafra calls headed by the disgruntled element called Nnamdi kanu who was feeding fat on the Biafran sentiment before been apprehended. The British saw a potential in our diversity before merging us together as a united Nigeria and every sane mind believes the future of the Igbo's lie in nigeria. What we need is a united south and we will wrestle political power away from Northern monopoly who sees power as their birth right. Will the Igbo's ever work with bourdillon to achieve a united south? Time will tell. Say no to biafra, God bless Nigeria

Ugosample:
The same will happen to any region that splits and leave the union.

The six regions are better together if the 36 states restructure and take.charge of its destiny.

But disintegration will make ANY region "irrelevant"

Nigeria is a Giant...

StOla:
I'm tempted to compare and contrast like wailers are wont to do.

Look at Jonathan receiving instructions like a servant.

He even had his hands behind his back in typical O-yes-Sir-Master fashion. Imagine if it was now Obama giving him instructions, he would have removed his cap in total obeisance.

omenka:
Reno is just one redundant oaf, and so are those who agree with him. We have seen people call Buhari even worse names than a dog.

It is one thing to call someone a dog and it is another to call a dog someone and then go ahead to write the the person's name on it- all this in a peaceful environment.

Had Buhari been a tyrant, no one would waste their time suing the idiot- they would simply throw his sorry ass in jail and have his dog swallow the keys.

I wonder why he didn't name his dog after his father- abi him like Buhari pass him papa??


Edit:

Wow! Obviously, this comment did a lot of damage to those who think the Sun Rises out my butthole. Feels so good to see them in this mood.

DLuciano:
I wonder why he is panicking, is his brother among the militants?

YBNR:
He's advertising to the wrong market.

President to meet Saraki, Dogara

Bill to rescue economy ready

President Muhammadu Buhari will be seeking emergency powers from the National Assembly to push his planned stimulus for the economy.

The objectives of the action-plan on the economy, which is in recession, include shoring up the value of the naira, creation of more jobs, boosting of foreign reserves, reviving the manufacturing sector and improving power.

Government sources said the decision to seek emergency powers for the President was based on a proposal from the economic team headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. The team reviewed the various policies so far introduced and how they have affected the economy.

The economic team, it was learnt, gauged the mood of the polity and decided that unless there is an urgency which some of the extant laws will not permit, “the recession may be longer than expected and Nigerians will not get the desired respite, which is the goal of this government”.

An executive bill titled: “Emergency Economic Stabilisation Bill 2016” is to be presented to the National Assembly when the Senate and the House of Representatives resume from vacation on September 12.

In the bill, the executive will be asking for the President to be given sweeping powers to set aside some extant laws and use executive orders to roll out an economic recovery package within the next one year.

Buhari will be seeking powers to:

abridge the procurement process to support stimulus spending on critical sectors of the economy;
make orders to favour local contractors/suppliers in contract awards;
abridge the process of sale or lease of government assets to generate revenue;
allow virement of budgetary allocation to projects that are urgent, without going back to the National Assembly.
amend certain laws, such as the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) Act, so that states that cannot
access their cash trapped in the accounts of the commission because they cannot meet the counterpart funding,
can do so; and
to embark on radical reforms in visa issuance at Nigeria’s consular offices and on arrival in the country and to
compel some agencies of government like the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), the National Agency for Foods
Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and others to improve on their turn around operation time for the benefit of
business.
The extant law on procurement does not allow contract award earlier than six months after decision. Part of this is a mandatory advertisement of the contract for six weeks. The economic team has found this to be unacceptable, given our present circumstance.

Although the president has the power to order the sale or lease of any government asset to raise cash, “the procedure is cumbersome and long”. The draft bill is meant to ease the process. The government source said about nine government assets may be leased or sold to generate around $50billion to shore up the nation’s foreign reserves and the value of the naira against the United States dollar.

The source said: “Nigeria may be broke at the moment but we are not a poor country, given our assets and capability.” About N58 billion is trapped in UBEC’s coffers because the states cannot access it as a result of the key condition, which is the payment of 50 per cent counterpart funding. The government is seeking an amendment to the law so that states will pay only 10 per cent as counterpart funding.

The objective is that state governments will have access to cash to develop education. This will facilitate creation of jobs since contracts will be awarded for the projects.

As for contract awards, the government, by the provisions of the law, cannot mobilise contractors with more than 15 per cent of contract sum. This is considered to be undesirable by the economic team given the pace the government wants to move in turning the economy around and in the provision of critical infrastructure. The bill will seek to allow the government to mobilise contractors with 50 per cent of contract sum.

The move to get government agencies to fast tract their operations is to enable foreign investors to come into the country without the current bottlenecks. Consular offices will now be expected to make visas available within 48 hours and visitors, especially tourists who intend to pick up visas at the entry point, will be able to do so. Time wasting at the airport with duplication of agencies screening incoming passengers is to be eliminated. Those leaving the country should go without hassle.

For the power sector, the government plans to truck gas from source to the power plants to enable them get what they need for generation. A government source said: “This may be more expensive but it is a price to be paid for Nigerians’ comfort”.

It was learnt that President Buhari will engage the leadership of the National Assembly before their resumption to solicit support for the bill’s quick passage.

adconline:
What a crass response. How much was he making when he was a director at Fidelity Bank? Why didn't he publicly declare his assets??

HungerBAD:
Interesting.

The Government should not waste Nigeria's manpower investigating this man,he should simply be locked up as an economic saboteur.

This Militancy started from Bayelsa,when Goodluck Jonathan was the Deputy Governor,and he introduced this settlement of these RiffRaffs when he became Governor.

When he became President,him and his militant kinsmen had an open season on Nigeria's treasury.

Goodluck Jonathan had one Key to the Central Bank,and Tompolo had the other one,while Asari Dokubo was the Gateman to the Vault.

Goodluck Jonathan knows these Militants,they have been peppersouping together from his Deputy Governorship days.

Arrest Goodluck Jonathan,and Militancy in the Niger Delta will die a Natural Death.


YOU WISH !!

Yungwizzzy:
Blood money

Proudlyngwa:
This is just a get together.
Only Sheriff can declare a valid PDP convention open.


I never believed it will get to this, but I have to say #ISTANDWITHSHERIFF.

kenonze:



My happiness is that nobody have mentioned
AMECHI,
TINUBU
PMB
LAI MOHAMMED

the party is auto-destruction mode.

Meanwhile dollar exchange rate today is N300/$

fulanmafia:
On point.

The PDP must think they can continue with their culture of impunity under Buhari's administration. They are in for a surprise because such will not be tolerated with folded arms. #FederalMight

Sherriff will have his own convention in Abuja and the commotion, confusion and gradual destruction of the failed killer party continues.

Ibrahim1975:
. When will the stay 4 just a week in his village? Why is the running up and down? Why is his own pple are after his life? What a hero!

Sparrow13:
so he has disown NDA, MEND and MASSOB ?

omonla555:
He is doing it for his fatherland, so Eto, Drogba and others have done same even C. Ronaldo for Portugal.

It is no news.

nonjebose:
They should stop all these childish acts. It is so uncalled for. What happened to taking nice pics with friends and leaving at that.

NgeneUkwenu:
You wish....He just lambasted your ineffectual Buffon twi days ago.....then some his ipob yoots followers were crying and begging to apologize for using offensive words to describe their ogogoro thin god....and he just did...

So show me where he regreted voting out the corrupt jonathan,?

AntiIPOOP:
The father of cluelessness

AntiIPOOP:
I hope it's not another scam

Progressive01:
Okay, president Buhari "has no idea what to do", agreed. Now, my question is: kindly suggest one thing he could do to pull us out of the doldrums.

Recession of this nature where your reserve has been drastically depleted and your major forex earner has lost over 50%
of its value is most difficult to surmount.

If you wanna diversify, where do you get the money to do so (remember you need forex to import the equipment for this since they aren't produced locally)?? You wanna export more of your nearly useless forex earner so you can start taking steps towards diversification and some criminals literally make that impossible.

I'm glad you admitted Jonathan wasn't an option no matter what.

modath:
Jonathan is up to something.... and seems he is also hell bent on shaming his supporters.

He passed a subtle message about keeping Nigeria as one just a few days ago, shortly after, he's asking for Sheriff's supremacy to be recognised, something is cooking!!!

Oche211:
PDP of confusion.
With the kind of curse and swear wey these guys (PDP) ve received 4rm Nigerians for mismanaging nd destroying the country, i don't think they will ever get their bearing again.
They shld just dissolve the party na.

Zico5:
The most dangerous set of people in Nigeria are wailers and I look at them and I see nothing good. Thank God they are just 5% that has no weight in our polity. See the way they bombard fashola for the inspection in the former thread and see the way they tone down on wike. If u people are waiting to displace Apc with ur dead PDP, u are really on long thing o cos u go wait tire. Apc should just continue on making life better for citizens and leave the rest to God

Dottore:
Since the government refused to fund them, then they had better stop distracting themselves, accept realities find their way home and forget about their sports dreams. The country is currently in terrible economic woes. Everybody had better tighten the hustle and forget about professional sport events that's the least of what the country needs now.
Na person wey chop dey do sports
