ICC loading...

The FG knows the outcome of the Kanu trial will either mar or make them. Hence, the chess game they they are playing. Kanu's victory will lead to the FG been charged for unlawful detention and a claim of 100M for all those killed during the peaceful protest and 50M for those injured. It will as well hasten the case of crime against humanity instituted against the FG, the army and some state governors at the ICC. The victory will not only make pple to defect but also a 50% actualisation of the sovereign state.

buhari is just a noise maker trying to cover his incompetence with the lies that he is fighting corruption! up til now we've not seen the end result of the corruption fight ..if he thinks he is the brave man he is not just tompolo arrest asari too ,and stop paying militant let see if Nigeria won't be too hot for him ...He's a liar now doing everything he accused GEJ govt of..you're not even ashame saying boko haram only took local government? in a country that have military...you should be ashamed ! ..Niger deltans are not ibo chest beaters ,they are not Hausa church and mouse burners or suicide bombers,neither are they Yoruba fearful traitors ..know where to strike Nigeria...remember how white men ran away from Nigeria during the militant crises...in fact all they need do is to target top key foreigners in different part of the country,then fold their hands and watch those country descend on Nigeria .

Ur Niger Delta Republic was crushed within 12 days by a partially mobilized army, but a fully mobilized army cannot crush Biafra until foreign supports poured in. Am a Niger Deltan and am not part of your fraud.
No matter how I hate to say this, but the truth is the Military is more powerful than Tompolo. Only an airstrike will silence all the noise. If u are thinking abt the warships he acquired, the Nigerian Navy has a better weapon to decommission it.

if fashola can rob Lagos in broad daylight and still be called a messiah . tompolo and the rest can take whatever... we are Niger deltans ...we are the owner of the oil ...the federal government should look for revenue... I know buhari and this new efcc chairman are just noise makers they wouldn't dare arrest tompolo like nmandi KANU..if they try it ! boko haram would be Nigerian pets compared to what will brew up ...

U are an ediot to bring KANU into this.

concerning the 500 000 teachers


let me say each teacher wll receive N50 000 a month



N50 000 × 12 months (1 year) = N600 000

N600 000 × 500 000 (teachers) = N300 000 000 000





am I the only one who believe that this project is as unrealistic as the N5000 promised to the unemployed youths

Dodge ur head ooh, cos the Zombies will rush here with stones.
LAST BULLET: Baba always making unrealistic promises.

Treason? Felony? Lol. To the court then. For the records, IPOB is registered with UN and UN sent a letter to that effect, IPOB delegates attends UN certain UN meetings, IPOB is a CHARTERED member of OEAS and Radio Biafra is dully registered in London. I stand to be corrected.

This is a chance for us to make our downstream sector work. If we refine and meet our local demand for finished products, we can survive this trying period

I ask again....why is there no refinery in akwaibom state?

I av been wondering why since decades ago.

Watch as the Zombies flee this thread. Waiting for the first A Fii Sii Bot to crawl here.

gulfer:
All the fans of Stealer Oduah, come and give reasons for this. Shebi she renovated all the airports.

Yes, this is how we know a zombie, always waiting to feed on people's blood and yet their flesh decays away. Aren't you tired of being a zombie and a crawling BOT? Anyway, the broomers will be so happy. Other zombies should sign in.

Jesumed:
As patriotic Nigerians,we should'nt shut our eyes to sensitive issues that bother our nation. It is expected that everyone plays an active role in the socio-political activities of the country. This is where Seun Osewa, founder of Nigeria's largest online site, disappointed Nigerians when he threatened to ban all comments regarding a very sensitive issue staring us in the eyes- the sudden uprising and agitation for Biafra. Although the struggle for Biafra had been a low-key affair for a pretty long time(perhaps it never died totally since the civil war ended), it suddenly became an upheaval after the former president Goodluck Jonathan lost his second presidential election bid. The Igbos were more frustrated when Jimi Agbaje, the 2015 governorship candidate of Lagos State lost to Ambode, despite the massive support and loyalty they showed him. Then the PDP zoned their presidential candidate for 2019 to the north, and Buhari shocked the world when he publicly declared not to favour the zones that didn't vote for him. All these events prompted the Igbos who had been initially chanting ''GEJ till 2019!'' to suddenly change their song to ''Biafra or I die''.

Should we keep quiet on this matter as Seun Osewa suggests and allow this agitation become another menace like Shiite or Boko Haram?I think not. Even Professor Wole Soyinka recently admonished the federal government not to handle this matter with levity. So I think Seun Osewa, who has veto power and whose decision is final on Nairaland, should have a rethink.

That said, the agitation for Biafra might only end up being a futile once again owing to these five reasons:

1. Igbos cannot do without Nigeria

It is an inarguable fact that Igbos are found in every part of Nigeria, especially in Lagos, engaging in one form of business activity or the other. Their business activities and tax payment in Lagos are partly responsible for the high GDP and development of Lagos, hence Igbos take pride in referring to Lagos as no man's land. But the question is; why would Igbos choose to develop another region, leaving their own underdeveloped? Lagosians have told Igbos to leave Lag and return to the east, and see if Lagosians would not survive as the Igbos ridiculously claim.But are they ready to leave the zoo and return to their neglected village to develop it?

2. Igbos do not love one another

If there's any nation in Nigeria where inhabitants do not love one another, it is the Igbo nation. Abakaliki are not considered real Igbos. Those from Enugu cannot marry those from Anambra. Generally, they find it difficult to intermarry and interelate. As if that is not enough, they also have a set of people they refer to as ''OSU'' or ''outcasts''. They don't marry or relate with such people in any way.They hate the OSU like devils, yet this OSU are also a part of the Igbo tribe expected to be a part of Biafra if actualised. Now imagine people who hate one another fighting for a ''united'' nation. Just imagine this: Nnamdi Kanu is an OSU! What happens to Biafra then?

3. Igbo elites do not want Biafra

While some Igbo PDP member are busy strategizing on how to reclaim Nigeria in 2019, some jobless Igbo youths are busy endangering their own lives in some ill organised, seemingly peaceful protests.What's Okorocha saying about Biafra? Is Akpabio ready to vacate Nigeria's senate to make Biafra actualised? Even Ojukwu had since affirmed before his death that Biafra is a forgotten issue, hence he contested for Nigeria's presidency and his wife Bianca, is now an ambassador for Nigeria and his son is now a member of the Fed Hose of Reps. Are all the Igbos appointed by the federal government ready to resign for the sake of Biafra- Chris Ngige and the others?

4. Igbos are tactically chivvying other tribes into their struggle

Igbos should just restrict their agitation for Biafra to the southeast and leave out other tribes, especially the oil-producing states. The south-southerners are not totally willing to be a part of Biafra, same as the middle belt, but the Igbos are trying to entice them into this struggle. Such tactics are likely going to end up being fruitless, after slowing down the entire process.

5. Wise Igbos know Biafra is no solution to their problem

The questions Igbos should ask themselves are: why exactly do we need Biafra? Will Biafra solve our problems? How will Biafra affect the poor Igbo masses? Igbos claim they need Biafra because they suffer marginalisation from other tribes. Have they held their governors and reps accountable for the poor governance and embezzlement of funds in their states? If Biafra is actualised, won't they still fight over leadership, and is that a guarantee for producing accountable leaders? Even the marginalisation they talk about; isn't that only for the elites who are not complaining?How did GEJ's emergence as president affect the poor masses of Bayelsa? Some wise Igbos know this, hence they don't support Biafra.

U an ediot to think Biafra is an Igbo affairs. If u so sure of this trash tell ya brothers to conduct a referendum. Descendant of a fallen angel, BOT from the pit of hell stop crawling over Biafran matter.

MyGeneration:
lol... u guys can put Bayelsa in ur militancy dream, but don't put hope in Rivers state... just an advise.
I am talking based on matters on ground.
Niger delta of now is not same as b4,
Nigeria of now is not same as b4.

Who told you I support militancy? Or did u skip the part where I told u to join our collective prayer for Nigeria? You can deny it, I don't care, but should those kids enter the creek, Rivers will also suffer.

Fawklicant:
US imports a lot more than most people think. Devaluation has worked for us in the past, it won't be the first time. The FG will not be able to sustain the aftershock of its present forex policies. Suffice it to say that this is not a military regime where all decisions are final. This is democracy...or at least a semblance of it and issues ought to be democratically explored. I don't see how this will help FDI in any way and Nigeria needs it a lot. No one will invest in a battered economic clime with unfavorable business environment. In fact it is tending towards a hostile business environment.

I understand you now. Thanks
It is just a pity those managing our economy wouldn't read this. It is better to wail than be a Zombie or Chanji chanting crawling bot.

Especially the incompetent CBN governor, Emefiele appointed by your hero GEJ,who comes up with these laughable policies.

They are monetary policies, the Presidency approves them. So just blame the both cos they both failed Nigerians.

With a huge percentage of american produce save for food being imported from Asia?

I don't understand you but I know tonnes of American products leave their shores on daily basis unlike Nigeria.

erico2k2:
Yes solution is devalue the Naira.Germany did it.the US did it.China did it.and it worked.

I understand those countries are not import based. Do you really think that policy will really work here?

MyGeneration:
Delta is not d only state in Nigeria dat produces oil, but if they try any rubbish we still hv 8 others, this wud serve as a warning to any other that's thinking in there direction.

When they cripple Rivers, Delta nd Bayelsa States, the economy will be crippled. They don't need to go for the 8 states cos I don't think they av the resources nd network for that. In the current state of the economy, any further strain on naira will hit us so bad. It is not by issuing threats, it is by collective prayer. I av already started mine.

MyGeneration:
lol... the army cannot sustain offensive under such condition. The Nigerian military wud always hv its way, before they do or try anything they wud go and meet Delta state governor and other stakeholders in delta state to tell Tomopolo to turn himself in, if he refuses and the militants try any rubbish, it is Delta state allocation they wud use to fund d war and it wud be fought in Delta state.

Where is Delta State? Or do u think it will have immunity when the economy crash. If the economy crashes, the military will not have the capability for a sustained offensive. So our collective responsibility is to discourage those kids from entering the creek.

EternalTruths:
That's one fact omenka doesn't know

Let him watch blood diamond to understand better how wars fuel uncontrollable supply of mineral resources into world market.

Those militants will no longer fight guerrilla style war but an outright conventional war to control their region.

Once they achieve that, many foreign vessels will dock to buy cheaper oil from them


Omenka fails to think that those militants won't take territories like BH.

Educate him pls. He really needs it.

So sad.Above is another soldier identified as Lt Col H.O Ahmed Salami, who was killed by Boko Haram insurgents in the northern part of Nigeria four days ago. He is the latest victim of Boko Haram insurgency who died while trying to defend our country.

May his soul rest in peace,Amen

This is funny, really funny. A Lt Col commands a battalion which is a military unit of bw 300 - 800 soldiers divided into companies made up of abt 100 soldiers and commanded by a Captain. So Lt Col rarely go down alone, so be kind enough to tell us how many of his boys went down with him. #Thanks

omenka:
During the height of their campaign in Obj's era when he battled NDPVF, MEND et al, why didn't the price crash but kept rising steadily?? That is because whatever supplies they were adding wasn't significant enough to make a dent on the price of oil internationally.

And who said they only got their weapons through batter (oil for arms)?? We know they also buy arms from monies realized from kidnapping and taking ransoms, and from their covert sponsors who might be government officials.

Even the activities of the Taliban and Al Qaeda put together didn't push down oil prices yet someone thinks the activities of ND militants will.

Oga you are too damn ignorant jor.

Have a nice day.

Not when there are over 2 million barrels in excess supply in the world market and don't even think the kids will play by OPEC quota rules. When does kids enter the creek, take it or leave it, the price of oil will be further fall becos of over production and their cheaper prices. During Obj regime, there wasn't excess supply and OPEC was firmly in control.

EternalTruths:
You are an economic illiterate

If the militants resume hostilities, they will take over the oil production and flood the international market with cheaper oil to buy weapons to wage their war

If you doubt me

Ask Turkey why they are buying cheap oil from ISIL.

Better analysis. Not just that, oil export is our major source of foreign exchange nd with this kids on the creek, our already dead naira will be buried, together with our import based economy. The economy will crash nd military will not av finances to sustain hostilities. Everybody will suffer and the broomers will forever curse themselves. #PrayForNigeria

omenka:
Read my post again, I asked a question: would their parents, siblings and relatives be insulated from the effects of all these you've mentioned Why chop off the nose to spite the face?? Isn't that total foolishness

Tell ur FG not to provoke them. We are watching proceedings in AKS. They should just stay away from us. We are not Broomers, we don't want chanji

omenka:
Ignorant illiterates. Hear them:

Someone should tell these fools striking oil facilities wouldn't have such effect as they think on the price of crude, rather, if any, it would make the price go up due to the interplay of scarcity and demand.

Doing such would rather have positive impact on the price as it would adversely affect supply while demand remains constant thereby pushing up the price, perhaps marginally.

The decline we see in the price today is due to a glut in the market since sanctions were lifted on Iran and the Americans came in with fracking.

The only thing their action would affect is the volume of product available to the Nigerian government for sale. There'd be a drop in this regard and it would affect government revenue drastically and not the "price" of the products as the gun wielding criminals think.

By the way, from their idiotic threat, if the price is "reduced to 15dpb", would their people be insulated from the effect of such??

You blow up pipeline, crude gets spilled, with its attendant environmental pollution (water, air and farmlands). Then the next day same guys rise up in arms to fight the government siting "environmental degradation by IOC".

How have the Tompolos and Asari Dokubos of this country helped the people they claim to be fighting for?? Last time I checked, that fat fvcktard established a university in Benin Republic and I asked, how many nursery schools has he built in the ND How many families has Tompolo brought out of poverty from the billions he's amassed over the years "fighting for them"

It is high time the people of the Niger Delta woke up and saw who their real enemies are.

You are right, but who will benefit from that increase? Outsider, not us and also try to factor in the effect it will av on our already dead naira. What do u thing will happen? Our foreign sector will collapse, our economy will crash and the army cannot sustain offensive under that condition. So, pray those kids don't take to the creek.

Wailers always commenting trash. EFCC don sue them and court decided to give them condition for bail una wail. If same PMB decide to go against such wish now una go begin shout dictator. The executive / EFCC have played their part and the ball is now in the court of the Judiciary.

Forget that thing joor. They are playing chess and we knw that. Maybe u don't know Nnamdi Kanu was granted bail but the FG refused to honor that.

Where is that crawling BOT? This one no be food?
