The first mistake you will make is to listen to and believe a yoruba oba, especially the so-called first class obas. They always distort facts all in the name of over-hyping themselves. That's why they will even agree that Benin kingdom, which is a far older kingdom according to history, came from them which historical facts also say is younger than the Benin Kingdom.

This governor keeps releasing state budgets of over a trillion naira every year since he became governor and everybody knows that the resources in Cross River state can't meet his budgets. That is the beginning of scam. Even Lagos state doesn't release such budgets despite its huge resources.

Very easy operation, easy entry and easy exit out of the state. Imagine after shooting, they drove from airport road to ogba river, entered boat already stationed there and drove off. They were not intercepted or challenged by any security agency despite having a lot of military/Airforce and police personnel on that axis. This shows a typical security situation all over the country. May God save all us.

FamousMonk:
He is an APC apologetic..
Unfortunately,he'd come out of this unscathed.

In saner climes,such persons would've been shot to death.

don't be bias with your opinion. PDP will do exactly what APC is doing now. Most Nigerian politicians, irrespective of political parties, are evil and corrupt. Our institutions and judiciary make fight against crime difficult and almost impossible. Our people need to take a stand against these evil men.

Sorry bro. May his soul RIP. I just hope snakes won't go into extinction after the burial.

I have always been an advocate for scrapping the practise of dividing roads into federal, states and local govt roads. Roads that are very critical to the lives and economies of many states are abandoned by the state govts all because the roads "belong to the federal govt". We don't have federal, states and local govt Nigerians. Benin-Lokoja, East-West road and other roads are critical examples. It won't cost the state govts to fix these roads but they won't fix them just because the roads belong to FG. The federal allocation should be reduced, there are too much resources at the centre while other tiers of govt have less to provide basic needs for their people.

Our baba has thrown bomb again . The president's speech writers and handlers need overhauling. Providing constant power alone will eliminate over 60% of air and noise pollution in this country. The generator noise alone in my compound is hell.

As usual, our politicians know the right thing to do only when they have left power. Dogara should shut up.

And you didn't add UNIBEN which should have been number 1 on that list Just ask your people how many times they applied for admission in uniben before finally settling for the school they attended/attending now.

Nigerian Farmers keep deceiving the Nigerian govt that they are producing enough food for Nigerians and that govt should ban importation. Every Nigerian knows that this is a lie from the pit of hell.

When will they also release money for humanitarian efforts in those Niger-deltan communities ravaged by oil spill and other environmental pollution? International organisations should also spread their effort to other regions of Nigeria.

Ronaldinho, messi, cr7, maradona and many superstar footballers are illiterates but when it comes to the issue of football discussion/education in any higher institution, no professor can teach or discuss anything football better than them. In the issue of transportation which was the issue MC Oluomo was invited to talk about, I believe even without education, he has experience and high level of understanding in the transportation sector. I am not undermining the importance of education but we shouldn't create issues where there are none.

According to the man, sharing the one billion naira to the indigenes of the community would have brought a lot of development . How? It won't surprise me if there are no good roads, schools, health centres or even a police station in the community. Nobody mentioned that but as long as the money was shared, everybody is okay. Also imagine spending over N500,000,000 on litigation for a community that lacks all I listed above, not for the eventual winner to bring development to the community, but for the sole purpose of having power. We need re-colonisation again.

Where are the counterfiet goods coming from? Over 90% are from china. How many chinese or Asians have the South African cowards killed or destroyed their properties? Idio.t mayor.

For a matter as sensitive as this, you could only come up with a guess work about the origin of a convicted criminal? I won't be surprised if this rubbish makes front page. We have seen worse post making it. Nairaland is fast becoming a play-ground for just any kind of post.

I have always had this opinion that if u should trace or study the history of most of our past so-called "heros" and founding fathers, we all will realise that these people laid the foundation for evil, tribalism, and corruption this country keeps suffering today. Most of them don't deserve the honour they are being given and associated with.

Homeboiy:
Obaseki wake and see governor

This is a road that was tarred 3 days ago

some people have already asked you the location and uptil now, you haven't said anything. We all want to know. Thanks

In other words, pdp can use state money to finance party members as long as they have governors and senators. Pdp can never change. Nothing different from PDP and APC.

mfm04622:
Services charges is only charged if you transact between two different banks. VAT is charged on service charges. Most of the time the service charge is 50 Naira! So VAT will be charged on that 50. Which is 2.5 Naira presently

you are wrong. I operate Firstbank. They charge N20 and VAT for Firstbank to Firstbank transactions and N52 and VAT to other banks.

What will protect the front, head and legs even though the back is already being protected with the bullet-proof bag? Those killers are sick and will look for other killing methods. This won't solve anything. Gun-control will solve alot.

mployer:
It's not luxury tax.

It's policy implementation tax, aimed at encouraging cashless transactions.

People really need to stop moving bundles of cash around.

even if you do cashless transactions, they will still find a way to exploit you. They charge you VAT and bank charges for every cashless transaction you make. VAT increase to over 7% is already in place. Cashless or no cashless transaction, you can't escape it.

It reminds me so much of the film "crazy rich asians" Never underestimate simplicity. Jewels come in simple, rough forms but that doesn't take away its value.

Ezekwesili that still went ahead to participate at the World Economic Forum in South Africa despite the withdrawal of many people due to the killing of blacks and destruction of properties by South Africans, is also saying Kudos Our politicians only see something or political appointment wrong when they are not direct beneficiaries. If PMB should appoint her into any ministry tomorrow, Ezekwesili will gladly accept it. She will see it as an "opportunity to serve her fatherland and help the masses"

There are some questions I will want u to answer. How were u treating your former customers/clients? Will you always say "come tomorrow" and the tomorrow never ends? How was your after-sales services like? Were you willing to mend clothes already delivered and worn by customers but returned to you, without complaining or quarrel? Customers will run if they are being treated like trash but If u have been on the good side, just be patient. This economy is telling on many people.

Esseite:
Law of diminishing return would soon take effect, the prices would begin to drop as soon as patronage reduces significantly and people start eating more of locally sourced fish and other produce.

which local produce? Our farmers don't produce enough. The pressure of demand on the local produce will increase prices. Our farmers are greedy. Govt subsidises almost everything for them but they don't care about the Nigerian people.

Nigerians farmers don't produce enough to feed the country but still insist on stopping food from coming into the country from other countries just to increase prices. They control prices, quantity supplied and everything by forming trade union associations. They act as monopolies by deceiving govt into believing that imports will bring losses to them because they produce more than enough, which is a terrible lie. Miyetti Allah and other crop farmers share the same characteristics of greed, lack of sympathy and no respect for life.

We don't get tired or angry at some kind of news we hear anymore in Nigeria. We just laugh as I am doing now and move on . But those tyres are not hummer bus tyres. They are truck tyres and are not related to the post.

One thing I know for sure is that NO PRESIDENT or EX-PRESIDENTS will ever go to prison in Nigeria NO MATTER the amount of evil they have committed in this country
They have an unwritten agreement among themselves. They can only bark but not bite themselves.

Most of our politicians behave like animals because of the security personnel attached to them. If there are no security men present, even if u attack them, they will not make any noise. None of these miscreants will misbehave in the absence of security men. Check the case of the slapping senator. He could only shout when security men he called haven't come. He proceeded to slapping immediately they came. It is high time these security personnel are withdrawn from these lawless individuals to ensure sanity in this country.
