Its all lies for you gullible ones, , the cows belongs to the Northerners, otherwise mention one Igbo man that owns any of those cows. They keeps on deceiving you people. You can see that they have retreated for some time now, just wait after election you would now see them in action by that time their leader has gotten back to power and I assure you four years is a lot of time for them to do any thing they want to do

I thought same way like u with respect to my state Edo state until I did some investigations. I realised that many rich men in edo state had cattle which are being taken care of by fulanis although some are also owned by northerners. U will be surprised to discover that some are actually owned by your own people!!! I have a building I am currently developing in ekosodin,Benin city. There was a time the place became inhabitated by fulanis and their cattle despite the building being already roofed!!! It was during my querying of these people I realised that the cattle were actually owned by a medical doctor,who is also a Benin man,he resides in the same community and he is also my neighbour,just few houses away from mine!!! Please try and do some investigations before castigating people's opinion on issues.

Mr Arcbishop,I want u to ask your fellow igbos the same question we Edos have been trying to ask our fellow Edo people. Who own the cattle that these fulanis are herding? It will surprise u to realise that they belong to many indigenes in the places these harvoc are being committed!!! These owners may also be the ones supplying weapons to these fulanis to protect their ''investments''. The solution to these problems lies in our ability to deal with the cattle-ownership issue.

It is only the black outfits that show that people are mourning nowadays in Nigeria. People will be on a burial ground and still be having time for selfies!!!

Go for a gionee m5 mini phone. Very good and dependable.

This is exactly the kind of man that the commissioner for happiness and couple fulfilment wants for imo state women . He should be extended an invitation immediately.

nowpresence:
you are just senseless

that is the first way of recognising a chronic illiterate. Chronic illiterates always resort to insults instead of presenting facts and proofs to either back or oppose an opinion. Continue in your ignorance. I.d.i.o.t.

OP please do your research properly. If it means enquiring from the old men and women in the villages,please do. ''Isoko'' has the full name ''isoko-edo'' which means ''a branch of edo''. They have never been a branch of urhobo although they have language similarity which is as a result of geographical proximity. Isoko like many other groups in Nigeria,are branches of edo and were parts of the great Benin empire.

I do hereby propose that you do everything humanly possible to get hold of that uninformed red beret wearing clown and lecture him on the constitutional powers of both the state governors and the president of the FRN.

Do not fail to fling that stupid baret away which obstructs his thinking faculties and then drill it into his skull that all the armed forces in Nigeria are all in the domain of the FG and are all answerable to the president which is why all the governor's go on pilgrimage to Abuja to beg the President to do the needful on security related issues.

It is a huge shame that governors are called the chief security officer of their various States when the commissioner of police are not answerable to the state governors while in where I domicile, it is the Mayor that appoints and fires the commissioner of police not even the governor because the governor has more important things to do but back in Nigeria, it's a different story.

Once u are done educating that embarrassment called a minister on why the governor's are not the ones in charge of security in their respective States which is why they frequent Abuja then send his tuition bills to me.

i have done it. As for my fees,a plate of hot bush-meat pepper soup and original palmwine are okay

Another confused human being speaking all for the purpose of seeking relevance. ''The primary purpose of govt is the protection of lives and properties''. This is the function of govts at all levels. The president has the military,police,dss,nscdc,efcc,customs,immigration service,prison service in order to perform this primary duty. Which one(s) do govts at lower levels have? Constitutionally,governors don't even have powers over even traffic police or ''yellow fever''! The constitution needs to be amended to empower governors with instruments like state police to fulfil the role.

For a subscriber to incure extra cost on himself to ''boost phone signal reception'' implies that service is very poor. This is one of the major problems with nigerian institutions and regulatory agencies. They always push the blames and responsibilities that are theirs to others. What is ncc doing to make sure telecom companies improve their services in order to prevent subscribers from using signal boosters?

Uptil now,we still don't know how much an average senator or rep member earns in the national assembly and they are the first to show face when corruption issues come up

eagleeye2:
Na small thing remain before the civil populace will take to arms. Let the government continue playing the ostrich.

the only difference now is that for now,only the security agencies are openly carrying arms but this can change within the twinkling of an eye.

Only politicians can play the game of politics. Pmb isn't and can never be a politician.Everything in Nigeria revolves round politics. I voted him because I thought an alliance between him and tinubu will bring about the most needed change. I expected pmb to focus on corruption war,tinubu plays the politics while other qualified people handle the economy and govt institutions. But we were all deceived. Pmb usurped everything with the cabal which I am 100% sure he is part of. Funny enough,pdp is not a better option because pdp is equals Apc both in action and philosphy. My vote for gej in 2011 was a wasted vote. My vote for pmb in 2015 also a wasted vote. We need brand new set of politicians.

The fear of Nigerian police has disappeared. The fear of soldiers is remaining just ''one bar'' . Once it completely disappears,civil war don start be that oooo! There is tension and hunger in the land. People are reacting openly but the authorities are doing almost nothing about it. History has a way of always repeating itself because people don't learn from history. North african uprising started like this.

Our soldiers are in sambisa forest looking for boko haram members when boko haram members have already relocated to towns and villages masquerading as ''fulani herdsmen''.

BekeeBuAgbara:
Assassination or assassins?

and he just got his m.sc

duduade:
Don't mind them as if he or She doesn't know that the same people who patronize PDP are the same cohorts patronizing APC

we still have a long way to go in this country if u consider the way people are still being deceived by APC and PDP. Many Nigerians easily forget history. If a party was bad in 1999,2000 up to 2015,the party will still be bad in 2019. Same thing also applys to a party that was bad in 2015,2016 up to 2019. That is why it is very easy to decamp between these parties because they have the same mindset,which is self-interest. We need brand new set of leaders in this country,not people that have been ''virused'' by our politicians.

Burukpe:
You had better hide your face in shame,cos I am disappointed in you.

every sane mind that has read this thread and comments will know that u are the one that should hide yourself in shame. U are either a pdp-asslicker or an Apc-asslicker. I am a patriot. U are afraid and blind to check facts. Pdp,Apc and their affiliates are the same and the earlier mofos like u realised it,the better for us.

Sometimes,in a bid to completely crucify president buhari,some of u always make incomplete and one-sided analysis of the economy. I want u all to analyse the situation by also talking about how the economy and exchange rates were as at 1999. U will realise that Pdp is also as bad as Apc. What were the exchange rates as at 1999 when pdp came in and 2015 when pdp handed over power? What were the commodity-prices within these same periods? Pdp is equally as destructive as Apc. How many refineries did Pdp build in 16years? What were the quality of education,healthcare and infrastructure? We must look beyond these parties and beyond anybody that was/is connected to them in one way on the other.

Chitumu:
Are u implying that nigeria should allow underground corruption to continue so that we will be like china? Or should we bring back that IB to asorock to be like china instantly?

no. What I mean is that when there is the right leadership,there will be development irrespective of corruption. Economies of brazil,south korea and many other countries are growing speedily but do u know that corruption has been a big issue in these countries to the extent that all their presidents have either resigned or been impeached at one point or the other. Corruption can only slow down development. It doesn't STOP development as it is the case in Nigeria. Only leadership failures can kill and stop development.

Do u know that there is a high level of corruption in china as we have in Nigeria although that of china is not openly done as in Nigeria because of the consequences? But when it comes to matters of development and goal-setting,the chinese govt and people put every other thing aside to achieve set goals. Every problem we have in Nigeria is as a result of leadership failures.

I have always wondered if we don't have private security firms in Nigeria. Why are these ''vips'' not using these private security firms as they do in advanced countries instead of using a police force that is already under-staffed? It pains me so much to see a ''vip'' with number of mobile policemen attached to him and his family higher than that in a police station. Some of these policemen are so jobless and idle that they even help their principals to pick their kids from schools!!! This country needs restructuring in every aspect!

U remind me of our former president Gej who said Nigerians are not poor because Nigerians ''had the highest number of private jets when they went to a programme in Kenya to the extent that the kenyans were still discussing the issue many days after the programme in Kenya ended'' . What is the standard of living of brazillians compared to other developed countries? What is the per capita income? What is the level of infrastructural development in terms of transportation,education,health,security,education? What is the composition of the gdp/gnp? How productive are brazillians? What is the literacy level? How accessible is health care and education to the brazillian majority? How independent and effective are the executive,legislature and judiciary? Are the majority of brazillians still peasant farmers or the country is highly industralised? These are factors that determine whether a country is still a third world country or not.

Who will they replace in the main team? There are many better players who won't still make the list.

Gej could have saved him this embarrasing situation by coming to court to testify on his behalf that he authorised the payment despite being invited but he didn't because he won't benefit anything by coming to testify.Nigeria politics is all about personal interests and dog eat dog situations. They neither have sympathy for their colleagues nor for the people that elected them.

Marriage is one of the strongest tools for building and strengthening relationships between kingdoms,families and business partners. It is a tool that was very very effective in the olden days and it is still very effective now. Most of king solomon's wives were given as gifts to him by other kingdoms and families in order to create relationship and get favour from king solomon who was the richest and most powerful king on earth in those days. It is still happening today. U see the children of politicians marrying fellow politicians,business partners and from royalties just to continue to perpetuate these relationships. Check all pmb's inlaws,ibb,yardua,igbinedion and many other big men in nigeria. They marry among themselves. King solomon only married few by himself but the rest were gifts.

Serious countries

your comment reeks of tribalism....

no. If it is possible,they should all be scrapped. We have over a 500 ''kings'' in Nigeria who don't contribute meaningfully but are being financed to live expensively with state funds. In japan,the king/emperor and members of the royal family don't even have the power to announce their own birthdays. They can't speak on national issues. They can only tell the govt their opinions but can't make it public by themselves. In Nigeria,the difference is the case. They are all in the forefront of everything. They act as if their govts of their own. This is why everything is chaotic.

Holywizard:
U are an idiot. Let ur stupid Yoruba kings come to Ibo land to rule

u just showed how low u are. I am not a yoruba if u must know. I wonder why they keep allowing people with low mentality like u on nairaland. Why not present your point as a normal human being. I won't reply your mention again.
U are just a waste of human space.

CSTR2:
ThAT IS A DISRESPECT to other kingdoms. And you deserve to be restricted by royal decree to only your tiny ethnic enclave under the rulership of your king who you seem to respect more than others.

The oba of Benin for example has a smaller Kingdom in modern Nigeria than many kings in Nigeria. And none of those your listed kings have relevance beyond their terrain.

Infact, if we are going by size and relevance of kingdoms, there are a number of kings that should be included.

go and study history again about the Benin empire/kingdom. Have u heard of the ''bight of benin''? Do u know that benin kingdom was doing foreign and exchanging ambassadors with foreign kingdoms/countries for centuries? Don't read benin history from local authors. Their egos won't make them tell u the truth about how powerful the benin oba was. Read about benin history by foreign authors
