Dear Henry Seriake-Dickson, may you live long in good state of mind and health. You're one in million, you're the Mandela of the Ijaw people. I hope the Ijaw youth will heed to your advise. Going back to the creek will never settle anything its will only drag the region back to dark age. No investor will come to a war zone to invest his/her money. I hope the baboon in the North east too will stop sucking innocent blood for no reason. The Ijaw Youth must distance itself from every selfish politician who has their children in a sane environment and only to encourage you to go to the creek for his own interest. I repeat, if the likes of Tombolo, asari dokubo and other big boss over there were truly fighting for Ijaw masses I am very sure the region by now will not be complaining of lack of good water, good roads, health facility and other social amenities. Asari and his cohort should stop deceiving the Ijaw youth. If you love your people, why do you take your investment to Cotonou ? This is the best question we youth need to start asking our politician. The ex deputy governor of Lagos State Adejoke Adefulore Orelope is a living example. We the people of Alimosho local government complained for being marginalised despite the fact that we produced the highest vote in any election in Lagos State. The leaders of the State accepted to look at our side by giving the deputy slot to her, we are happy that this will add value to our community only for Adejoke to abscond with her mother and other key family members to VI/Ikoyi. The Ijaw youth must hold their leaders responsible for the present situation of the region.

RHP:
Tired of all these twist. All i need now is good governance.

SUNDAY PUNCH’s study of the controversial 2015 Senate Standing Orders, Rule 3, as contained on page four of the document, which has to do with the election of presiding officers, had shown that it is different from the 2011 Senate Order.

SenseiX:
The Change chanters already changing tone this early.

stevecantrell:
Nigerians can blow a lot of useless hot air....

Just check out the thread where they were slaughtering this woman... Now CNBC has apologised smh.

doctokwus:
- U want me to take serious a man who says that salary cut without allowances is symbolic without knowing allowances are calculated based on percentages of salaries?
- U want me to take serious a man who claims PMB was not prepared for leadership because he is taking his time to assemble a team after laying a proper groundwork?
If GEJ is therefore by his own inference said to have been prepared with the kind of monumental failure he became as president,then may all other leaders after him not be prepared.
Please next time tag me for serious minded assertions by knowledgeable people,not this type from a kindergarten politician who should instead be trying to understand issues well before being allowed space in the press.
PDP chieftain indeed,he should rather be called a village chieftain!

kokoA:
I'm sorry but you don't know what you are saying. The middlebelt is one of the regions that vote with "sense" in Nigeria. In 2007 they voted massively for Late. Umaru Yaradua, they got the number 3 position (Senator David Mark), in 2011 they voted massively for GEJ and retained thesame position, when GEJ messed up, they voted against him and guess what? They still got the number 3 position (Senator Bukola Saraki). I know one major region that has been deputizing the middlebelt in the senate since 2007 till date

Sweetlemon:
Don't these people ever get tired??
Why are they always spoiling for fights?

Sweetlemon:
If you have a problem comprehending simple passages just say so instead of being a nuisance.

ECOTERRORS:
The middle belt are better known for *Anywhere wey bellle face*

The follow the core North when the Hausa is in power and cry against their marginalisation by Hausa fulanis when Southerners are in power.

doctokwus:
Have u heard of the Tiv/Jukun crisis;the Ombatse cult group and the evils in Kogi or the perennial religious crisis in the Plateau?
The north central is infact one of the most volatile regions in the country;so don't type what u don't know,just that its under reported.

Sweetlemon:
Do you know anyone that is very humble, peaceful, unassuming, adaptive, fun, yet intelligent irrespective of their religion? Check their state of origin, they're most likely from the middlebelt! Save for a few bad eggs, most have very endearing qualities.
I grew more respect for them during the elections, I thought they were going to vote against Buhari being a Fulani man because of the way fulani herdsmen and people bully them on their lands. But surprisingly, they gave majority votes to APC even though there's also a large Christian population there. It shows they may not be phyical fighters but they can reason strategically.

The North central is the only region that hardly has militants, "freedom fighters", or whatever silly, violent, directionless, selfish, groups all other regions have.

They go about their businesses without creating drama and irritaing tantrums at the drop of a hat. Sometimes they're mistaken for "slaves" or docile people but there's a difference between being docile and wise. They're wise enough to know that fighting for their own country when they know they're not economically, socially, or politically ready to stand on their own two feet or allowing some selfish politicians to use their youths to fight "marginalization" is just NOT the way out.

The rest of us should please borrow a leaf from them. We need it urgently.

christinie:
pity yourself Bc ur Sai Buhari doesn't like nobody.

doctokwus:
Yeah. This one must be handled with a lot of caution if true. Jauro maybe right but d circumstances,timing and manner are all wrong.

fashoo2010:
U mean just because of 24hours of seniority? Na wa ooo....

he told them he was going to Kenya but stopped at Senegal first.

Nairobi (AFP) - The streets of the Kenyan capital
were empty on Friday afternoon ahead of US
President Barack Obama's arrival, with a
massive security operation under way to protect
him from Al-Qaeda-linked Somali militants.

Obama, making his first visit as president to his
father's birthplace, will address an
entrepreneurship summit and hold talks on
trade and investment, security and counter-
terrorism, and democracy and human rights.

Parts of the Kenyan capital Nairobi have been
locked down and airspace will be closed during
the president's arrival late Friday and his
departure late Sunday, when he travels up the
Rift Valley to neighbouring Ethiopia, the seat of
the African Union.

By Friday afternoon, usually the busiest time of
the week with streets jammed with cars, roads
were empty. Expectant crowds began gathering
along the route to be used by the presidential
convoy in the hope of spotting Obama.

At least 10,000 police officers, roughly a quarter
of the entire national force, have been deployed
to the capital.

Top of the list of security concerns is Somalia's
Shebab militants, who have staged a string of
suicide attacks, massacres and bombings on
Kenyan soil, including the bloody attack on the
Westgate shopping mall in the heart of the
capital nearly two years ago that left 67 dead.

Excitement has been building in Kenya for
weeks, with the visit painted as a major boost for the country's position as an African hub --
something that has taken a battering in recent
years due to Shebab attacks and political
violence that landed Kenyan leaders in the
International Criminal Court.

"I need not tell you how eagerly we have all
waited for the day, or how keen we all are to
make it the most memorable of homecomings,"
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta told reporters.

"It's a vote of confidence for our city and our
country," Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero also
told AFP.

what is Bush Baby

Whynotthetruth:
Nobody is restraining me just that your stench is too nauseating and it will be foolhardy for me to leave without getting details of the processes otherwise human factor in interpretations will distort the judgement that would be passed down to me through emissaries...So I will keep managing your type and stench

MKO4ever:
OP, you must really think all nairalanders are fool! This letter is too plain, no date, no signature, even the content is not diplomatic enough.

kaslaw:
Follow nairalanders join me in thanking God,yesterday night I was on my way to night class in my school abia state uni(Absu) when I saw this big snake coming towards me,please to my follow Ikengas nd ikengresess in the house try and be using your torch lights while going about in absu at night.

PROVACATEUR:
When your PMB was going to US he should have known that the Americans are not really disposed to Nigeria being a force in Africa.

PMB needs advisers and a cabinet to brainstorm on how to look inside to tackle this insusgency.


Lest I forget, Zombie

megawax8:
You know what baffles me the most with the way 'ndigbos' are clamoring is that they seem not to be realistic but greedy.

There are six geopolitical zones in Nigeria of which three are seen to all as one 'nothereners', forgetting they are made up of North east, North west and north Central which is about 17 states as against the 5 which make up the south east.

I think we all just have to let the President rule the nation by selection based on competency rather than sentiments.

Do we question the personality of any of the appointed individuals thus far?

Maybe they would have been happier if ngige and okorocha was apoointed chief of army staff and NSA respectively.....mtchew

PROVACATEUR:
Zombies have arrived

SweetJoystick:
Great, tell the truth to their face and not behind them
