This is how sensitive a Muslim Muslim ticket is
the ogas at the top won't feel to do anything because it's their religion. It has started in Niger, it will gradually spread and all Muslim folks won't be serious about it.

So Muslim-Muslim Ticket also affect Niger Republic? I thought you people are solidly supporting the Military Junta in Niger Republic?

Slogans!
They rushed out with this after watching Innoson's Arise news interview. Tinubu is empty, uninspiring, and completely incompetent.

The NNPC has been carrying out a Pilot study of this initiative in partnership with NIPCO for over 5years in Benin City.

JASONjnr:
Even when the request is for a re-run if the election?

What do you mean by re-run? There is no such provision in the constitution.

Do you mean the election should be annulled and another election conducted?

Federal government is yet to build and maintain most seaport in Nigeria after the military.

Federal government is unable to secure the creeks after the military.

It's been 22 years, there absolutely nothing to show for democracy, development wise. Before democracy, Nigeria had 6 fully functioning ports and 3 working refineries, Democracy came and they messed it up.

It's not working

The Refineries stopped working under Abacha Regime.

Nigeria has witnessed greater developments since 1999 than under Military Rule.

Abia ,Osun and Kogi States were created in 1991 under Military Rule.
Between 19991-1999, how many roads, teaching hospitals, universities did the Military built in these States compared to what they witnessed within first nine years under democratic rule?

Human Development Index (HDI) had improved under democratic rule.

Workch:
the military built first Niger bridge, if you look at both bridges, you will agree with me that the first one has more quality.

The military upgraded Apapa port and during military regime, all ports in Nigeria were functioning maximally.

These are simple things that this wicked democratic government cannot do

Many of you calling for return of Military Rule never witnessed Military Rule and you don't read to understand what happened then.


1) The First Niger Bridge was built by the Tafawa-Balewa Administration in 1965.

2) The Tafawa-Balewa Administration started the idea of a Third Mainland Bridge but the construction started under Gowon. Murtalar/Obasanjo and Shagari worked on it and was eventually completed by Babangida in 1991.
3) The First Oil Refinery was built by Shell-BP in 1965 , though the Tafawa-Balewa Administration later bought shares in it.

The Federal Military Government later acquired the Military by claiming that the FMG need to be in-charge of Oil Refinery, Distribution and Marketing!

This decision was the genesis of our problems in the oil sector.

Under the Tafawa-Balewa Administration, the FG had no business in the oil sector and there was never fuel scarcity or subsidy scam. At that time, different oil companies bought crude oil ,took them to the Refinery to refine, paid for the services of the Refinery and took the refined products to sell at their own prices in different parts of Nigeria.

The intervention of the Military Unified everything and put the FG in-charge.

If we had continued without the Military intervention, we would have been as developed as South Africa by now.

How do you think peddling of Fake News and Blackmail by Jackson Ude can lead to more fuel refineries or cheaper imported fuel in Nigeria?

Thought y'all said you have respect.....

Respect your host na.... What are you fighting.

You want to force your tradition on another man's land. Haba..... Don't be a hypocrite

The point you are deliberately distorting : Constitutional rights of freedom of religion of the Adherents of African Traditional Religion.


Islamic Fanatics can NOT abrogate the God-given and constitutional rights of adherents of Traditional Religion.



1) The Pilgrimage to Mecca called Hajj predated Islam and was a pagan Arabian Traditional rites in which Adherents of Arab Traditional Religion will move round the Shrine called Kaabah 7 times in anti-clockwise direction without wearing any clothes.

2) The Black stone in the Kaabah was an ancient Meteorite adored by Pagan Arabian Tribes.

What Prophet Muhammad did was to purify the Traditional Arab Religion by standardizing it and incorporating elements of Judaism and Christianity into it

Nothing will ever happen......


I believe Peter Obi will take this and not go further to the ICC as he declared earlier.


Believe me,we all know that it was a complete rob of a fatal win. Buhari had to leave the country in that state of total mess.


I'm equally glad that Tinubu who wanted power by all means isn't having it cheap at the helm of his stolen career.....

Power no be for mouth, threatening Niger with a cocain licking mouth won't make anyone respect you.

Peter Obi's Legal Team NEVER claimed he won the presidential election in the written submission to the Tribunal.


Tribunal won't grant any request that wasn't made.

bender79:
Don't you think that Lagos should be looking and performing better with it's geographical location and as once capital of Nigeria? What is this noise about igbos living in Lagos? Are there only igbos that are non Yorubas living in Lagos? Maybe you should also question Yorubas living in Abuja. There is nothing special about Tinubu, recent events has even showed it glaringly

Though ,I feel the painful consequences of the economic reforms but Tinubu is on the right path. The naked truth is that there is no easy way out. If anyone tells you that Peter Obi has one magic wand that will solve Nigeria's problems, the person is either deceiving you or he doesn't understand what is at play.

The CBN can no longer AFFORD to artificially fix the exchange rates.


The FG can no longer afford subsidies on imported fuel.

Nigeria spend over $73 Billion yearly to import fuel and Automobiles, so how can the Naira be strong? The Refineries are not working.

In all of these, what would Peter Obi have done?

ThankUUJesus:
Tinubu has already destroyed Nigeria in less than two month and beyond repair. I think Obi should forget about the judiciary and let Tinubu continue because at this point Nigeria is already shattered and waiting to implored. No need for obi to come and waste his time trying to fix Nigeria. To me Nigeria is gone. Even 2 Peter Obi cannot fix what Tinubu has destroyed. How can the exchange rate be brought back to 400, it's impossible...things has gone really bad and at this time, I don't think Obi can do anything again, highest he will fix the refinery and increase production but things would still be bad. The did has already been done. PO please relax and let them fix Nigeria by themselves or get it destroyed completely by themselves.

Why should the exchange rates be $=#400, why not make it $1= #20?

Many of you don't understand Nigerian economy but always expert opinions on it.


Tinubu did NOT destroy Nigeria in 10weeks.

Even reading comments here has exposed that Yoruba as the most tribalistic people in the whole of Africa. Spits on their cone head.

Okay, next time you come across a Yoruba person, just kill him/her to drive home your grievances

jmoore:
Jack Obinyan is from Edo state.. You see how tribalism has beclouded your reasoning. Wetin concern Igbo for this matter?

You are even supporting the statement Jack made. Hunger go catch you, you will blame Igbo.

Niger Republic go call Bola Tinubu 'Ebola', you will leave the Hausa people that said it and attack Igbo.

okay, we don hear you well. Next time ,you come across a Yoruba person, just kill him/her to drive home your point.

DevilishMan:
I can bet my balls that tank was manufactured in a Yaribanza state.

A similar Tragedy killed a young man in Lagos State two months ago and the next thing we saw was an Igbo guy on Tweeter linking the event to the last election which he blamed the Yorubas for.

jackcanfield:
Someone educate me , say 3000 Mega Watt is generated by a Genco using the Lagos State law would there be any need for transmission.. since the station is present in the local domain away from the reach of the Federal Government and it's law

After generation, the GENCO are still relying on Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCM) a.k.a National Grid, to transmit the electricity.

With this new law, each State or a group of States can build their own Transmission line that doesn't have anything to do with the National Grid just as LASU is doing running it's activities independently of UNILAG.

Racoon:
So sad! I guess the captain didn't identify himself as a captain in the Nigerian Army and the woman too was too trigger happy.

Anything can happen in a charged environment of a curfew but this is one of the unfortunate recurrent issue with most of our security agents; they are always itchy on the trigger. Rest in peace Captain. Orderly room court marshal for Okonkwo.

Most Nigerians are quick to be power intoxicated, if they have power over fellow citizens in one way or the other. This trait can be seen among the Police & Military Officers, University Lecturers, Top Civil Servants and even House Wives over House-Maids.


Whether the deceased identified himself as a Captain or not, no one deserves to be killed like that.


Nkiruka Okonkwo should be charged for murder.

The point is there are enough of these non-Ibo Asabans to make Asaba an impossible Biafra territory.

besides this colonial map of cannibalism shows that people on the west of the Niger river don't eat humans. That is a powerful piece of scientific anthropological proof that there are no cultural Ibos or otherwise West of the River Niger.

Asaba was NEVER part of Biafra.

There are Igbos on the West of the Niger.


Before 1960, Igbo was more of a Linguistic Group than a single Ethnic.

Asaba Man Responds On Facebook To Asaba Is Igbo Claims

Asaba Inlaw: "In This Whole World You Couldn’t Find Anyone To Marry But An Igbo"

Short story: One of my earliest and most persistent memories is this - near my village, 1 kilometer from Asaba, was a camp where people lived.
Who are they I asked - “Wa bu Ndigbo” I was told. Translation: “They are Igbos”.
I was confused. Aren’t we Igbos, but I said nothing.
Another occasion I heard some commotion in the direction of the camp. Oh don’t be worried I was told. They are Igbos. Again so thought but we are igbos!

Fast forward 3 decades.
A friend of mine from Aba who married from Asaba, over a beer told me “I can’t get over Asaba people. During my native law, my wife’s people kept abusing her in the same language I spoke. They kept saying ‘so in this whole world, you couldn’t find anyone to marry but an Igbo?’”
These are true accounts.
People from my area… even the indigenes of ONITSHA (I’ve been told) consider themselves Not Igbo.
I grew up seeing my people refer to others as “Those Igbo people”.
I have just learnt that the phrase “Igbo enwere Eze” was coined by core Igbos to separate themselves from the Onitsha indigenes…
Following that logic, Asaba nwere eze .... kedụ ka ọ ga-esi bụrụ igbo?
ka anyi biri n’udo nwanne m nwoke
m zuru ikpe m

It’s not an issue to be swept under the carpet. We need to consider it seriously.

Just because everyone in America speaks English doesn’t change their ancestry (some are of German, Italian, Russian, African, Chinese ancestry...).
Ancestry can only be determined scientifically by DNA analysis. My sister discovered she has ancestors from Mali, Senega... of course!! The river Niger flows through those nations before it passes the shores of my village which sits on the West Bank of the Niger net Asaba.

Bottom line, you cannot teach a man how to write with his left hand in old age.
The real issue is why so many Igbo speaking people reject the idea they’re Igbo. (Like some Egyptians in an interview I watched - who can’t understand why they’re considered Africans at all!).
Let’s have an academic discussion why!
We may learn valuable lessons.
��‍♂️�
Good morning.

The Asaba people who are saying they aren't Igbos are those whose Ancestors came from Bini, Igala, Yoruba and some autochthonous ancient communities within that axis.

Stop this nonsense!
You are not a child.
Stop deliberately inciting people.

Also, be careful how you accuse the innocent, because in life, whatever you give will return to you in manifolds.
Life is not a joke.

We didn't see you preaching like this when you and other Obidents started spreading dangerous fake news and distorted videos/images against Tinubu.

If not for the gallant men and officers of the Nigerian Military, Boko Haram would have taken over the whole of Nigeria. Your homeland would have been under Taliban-styled Islamic Fundamentalists.

Because u don't travel.

If u have travelled to the north,u will know why some demands aren't out of place.

Most of them are found where u can't live doing businesses and pls,don't say what u don't know.

I once served in Bunza LGA. When the jos crisis came up,the chief of that Local govt area refused to be a party to the crisis as some elements wanted a reprisal but he refused.

This was what he told us: he said there many igbos who do what their people can not do,such as mechanic,chemist,pharmacy and name it. He said if u fight them and kill them all,who will service their cars,sell medicines,do child delivery and the rest for them.

I don't put my mouth and anything that involves hatred against the igbos...learn their ways,how they survive and their secrets of wealth instead of hating them.

I have been privileged to be what I am today because of igbos.

Which roles did the Igbos played in the Jos Crisis?

trutharena:
Niger state about to be a “No man’s land”.

Soon they will be scheming to be governor of Niger state and calling the indigenes bigots and tribalist when they push back.

My prayers are with the Niger people.

I think it is better to support them on this mission and encourage them to succeed,this will reduce their pressure on 'REGOS'

Who won the election?

ObaOfYorubaLand:
You Agbado Rodents destroyed Nigeria thinking you were doing the Igbo's.
.you people always bring disgrace to Nigeria.

Be very sincere, which political party won the presidential election?

APC , PDP or Labour Party

Crowdboom:
Please, what is benefit of waiver given by political party?

Waiver is to override internal rules of the party NOT to override Laws of Nigeria.

As we continue to practice democracy, we will learn the rules and deepen our understanding of the practice.

The Labour Party acted wrongly by hurriedly replacing her original candidates with the Obident decampees.

They could have been assimilated into the party and work to develop the party against subsequent elections but most Nigerians prefer the 'short cut mentality'

CaptainAyub:
The same courts where the supreme Court allowed the current senate president,Umahi and Lawan to become senators even when they did not purchase forms for the post.
Una never hear say candidacy na party affair,who they like,they give,they can grant waiver to even mungo Park one day before close of nominations,and that is it.
The judge should collect his money in full shaa

The Electoral Act required that a person be a member of a political party at least 30 days before the Primaries and this is confirmed by the presence of his name in the Register of Members submitted to INEC.

Party's waivers is for internal affairs of the party and not to override the Electoral Act.


The law was enacted to prevent Indiscriminate decamping from one political party to another ,once you lose primaries in your former party.

Lawan contested another Primaries. The issue was whether the First Primary won by Nguri was valid or not, more especially when Nguri claimed not to have stepped down.
