My fear is that people may have paid ransom for them to be released and they'll use the funds to acquire more arms and ammunition against our military.

GreenandGold: I read that India didn't want another exercise because the [/b]Americans learned a way to counter these jets[b].

Maybe it could just be a propaganda.

Kcinho: Mr Ray Nnaji is different from senator Gil Nnaji. Anyway its almost certain Senator Gil isn't returning to Abuja.

Oops! . My bad.

Kcinho: I thought they said he is the consensus candidate. Meanwhile;
Fresh crisis hit the Enugu State chapter of
the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) on Tuesday as its former National
Auditor, Mr Ray Nnaji returned to the Federal
High Court, Enugu, asking it to determine the
authentic leadership of the party in the
state.
Nnaji, who on Monday sought the joining of
the party’s national chairman Adamu Muazu,
national secretary Adewale Oladipo and
South-East zonal chairman, Austin
Akobundu in the suit, warned the Vita Abba
led state executive to steer clear of further
actions on 2015 polls until the matter was
resolved.
DailyPost reports that there have been
dissenting voices since Hon. Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi was announced as the party’s
consensus candidate for the 2015 guber
polls.
Senator Ayogu Eze and other guber
aspirants have expressed displeasure over
the emergence of the consensus candidate.
It could be re-called that Nnaji filed the suit
first in 2008 after a parallel congress of the
party in Enugu, which produced him and
Abba.
The matter could not be resolved following
an appeal against the ruling of the court on
preliminary objection on the jurisdiction of
the court to entertain the matter.
Later in 2010, the suit was adjourned sine
die, pending the determination and hearing
of the appeal filed by Abba.
Abba was said to have withdrawn the appeal
and same struck out by the court.
Following the development, Nnaji had
approached the court for the re-listing of the
matter, which was formerly in court 1 and
the Court on Monday gave its approval and
transferred the matter to court 2 for hearing.
Although no date has been fixed for the
commencement of hearing on the suit, Nnaji
stated that the matter had been delayed due
to the absence of a Judge at the Court 1 of
the federal high court, Enugu.
The last Judge was moved in February this
year.
He told Journalists that until the matter was
resolved, all the claims by anybody against
2015 in the state was not genuine, insisting
that he decided to give life to the matter
because “Governor Chime and his Chief of
Staff, Ifeoma Nwobodo are messing up PDP
in the state”.
He said: “The issue of political structure of
the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in Enugu state has not been
resolved; the matter was sometime
suspended because there was an appeal by
Vita Abba, who lost at the federal high court
challenging the jurisdiction of the court.
“Along the line, he withdrew the application
and it was struck out. Now the matter has
resumed at Court 1, there is no Judge in
court one presently and we had to apply for
transfer to Court 2 which has been approved
and a date is being awaited. The matter was
filed in 2008 and adjourned sine die in
2010, pending an appeal withdrawn and
struck out.
“I want to tell you that the matter is alive
and whoever is doing anything while the
matter is alive is wasting his time. If
anybody is doing anything now on the
ground that there has been another
congress since then, he should go and read
Omehia Vs Amaechi and know what
Supreme Court says when a matter is
pending in court”.
On the purported endorsement of Hon.
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi as consensus
governorship candidate, Nnaji said: “The
party constitution did not say you should
select. If Chime thinks he can hand pick
anybody, he is making a great mistake
because the issue of the party structure in
Enugu state is yet to be resolved by the
court. All that they are doing is to cause
problems in the state. They want people to
believe that something is happening when
nothing is happening. Chime and his Chief
of Staff have killed Enugu politics and what
they are doing now is killing PDP and
pretending they are helping the party.”
It could be recalled that parallel congress of
the party in 2008 had produced Nnaji and
Abba.
While Nnaji faction was loyal to the former
Governor Chimaroke Nnamani, Abba’s
faction was loyal to Sullivan Chime.
Nnaji’s faction, which then had the support
of the Ahmadu Ali led national executive, fell
out of favour when Prince Vincent Ogbulafor
emerged the national chairman of the party
and started relating with the Abba led
executive.
Feeling cheated, Nnaji and his executive had
gone to court to assert its stand as the
authentic leadership of the party in the
state.

I don't care about Vita Abba but for the love of God Gill Nnaji should not be allowed to go back to the senate biko.

If there's an award for the most useless senator in the senate Chambers, that award will go to him. Right from his time in House of reps, I've never seen him contribute anything on the floor of the house. With all due respect this distinguish Senator should just retire from politics.

If this came from the Gwarzo of Abacha era, then we should take this serious. He should be arrested and detained by the SSS.

femikay149: I see that is good

And oga this thread is dying now make una help revive am

Only Siriusblack himself can revive the thread and that maybe at the end of the war.

Nnewi1stSon: ^^^ I hope this comes to fruition, and doesn't die a stillbirth. This election season it's hard to know what projects are meant to be carried out and those meant to play politics. And the gullibility of Igbo isn't helping matters at all.

This MOU was signed since AUG last year. The company is owned by Davido's Dad. About last month or so his bosom friend Aliko Dangote said he's going to start importing coal from South Africa to power his cement factories in Nigeria (Meanwhile our coal dey waste)

I guess he's yet to get international funding for the business because I read that he wants to borrow money from foreign banks.

Kcinho: Ugwuanyi, born on March 20, 1964, is
representing Igboeze North/Udenu
Federal Constituency of Enugu State. He is from orba in udenu LGA.
He holds a Bachelor and Master
degrees in Business Administration. He is married. This is his second term in the house. Ugwuanyi is popularly known Gburugburu.

Chineke mekwalu anyi ebele. Make this Ugwuanyi no fall our hand biko.

I heard he was Chairman Udenu Local Government Area. Did he do well in that position? I've not heard him contribute on the floor of House of Reps.

Chineke biko

I found out that most who are accusing Fayose of causing the mayhem in the state don't live in Ekiti and most of the people who are accusing Fayemi/E-11 of causing mayhem are actually living in Ekiti.

I believe the neutrals here know the group whose story sounds more "believeable"

rafcrown: When the war is gradually coming to an end.Or is it for 2015 elections?

Like so many people have said, they wont give us the money cash.

This boko haram war has shown that our military are highly unequipped and under funded. Our next war most likely will be conventional and against another country. Thus we need to buy tanks, missiles, fighter jets, warships, air defense systems, etc

Any sane person knows that 1bn dollars is not enough

Any correct guess on who'll be succeeding Gov Sullivan

classicEntity: when then do we expect Nigerian president of Igbo extraction?

My brother except God says otherwise, I don't see us having a President of Igbo extraction in the forsee able future. At least till after 16 years (starting from year 2019).

Gej will hand over to a northerner no doubt about it.

They shouldn't even try banning the sale of cigarette in Nigeria.

egift: - Shekau 1 (the conservative) is dead and decomposed.
- Shekau 2 (the yoppy) is dead and now carcass.

And if Shekau 3-100 present themselves, we will put a bullet in between their eyes.

God Bless One Nigeria!

I endorse this post

Ignore the thread. Seems like the Op wants to start an E - war.

Some people here have no sense of humor

I was shocked to find out that Tanzania have S-300 air defense equipments.

Maybe NAF can defend against our neighbours in ECOWAS sub region but certainly not against nation's like Algeria, RSA, etc ( correct me if am wrong).

Good news is that we're getting there. We've started acquiring helo and very soon we'll see our own 4th generation jets. Truth is defending our airspace is going to be quite expensive and it'll take us years for it to be secure.

God bless Nigeria

Godwinsilas: The Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Abdu Bulama, said on Tuesday in Abuja that Nigeria would design, fabricate, test and launch its indigenous satellite by 2018.

Bulama stated this when he inspected facilities at the Obasanjo Space Centre of the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA).

The minister said the centre had the mandate to launch Nigeria’s first indigenous satellite by 2018, and described space science and technology programme as an important component of the Nigerian dream.

According to him, the satellite programme has a very positive role to play in the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

Bulama directed that the assembly, testing and integration centre, and the Synthetic Aperture Rader Satellite, which are under construction, be completed by 2015. “The Assembly, Testing and Integration Centre, and the Synthetic Aperture Rader Satellite are the nucleus of NASRDA.

“It is here that we will, by the grace of God, launch our first made in Nigeria satellite by 2018. “By 2018, by the grace of God, we want to see made-in-Nigeria satellite launched. It will be built in this laboratory and launched by our Nigerian scientists,” he said. According to him, competence and capabilities in satellite technology serve as tool for national growth and a huge contribution to the development and benefit of mankind.

Earlier, the Director-General of NASRDA, Dr Seidu Mohammed, who conducted Bulama round the facilities, said the agency could boast of world-class technology in term of facilities. Mohammed said that the about six million U.S. dollars (about N1 billion) annual budgetary allocation to NASRDA was inadequate, given the huge development expected of the agency.

The director-general also said that no serious country allocates less than 100 million U.S. dollars to its space agency. According to him, NASRDA pays N1.6 million monthly to an Israeli company to maintain facilities at one of the centres of the agency, and also spends 100 pounds servicing its two dishes. He said the Emergency Management Project of the agency could be used in tracking kidnapped victims, car theft, pipeline vandalisation, fire outbreak, flood and accidents.

Please what's the use of these satellites we have in the orbit

We thought it was gonna make GSM calls and Internet data cheaper but nothing has changed. We can't even use it to monitor our borders or search for the missing Chibok girls.

How are we benefitting from these our satellites that we have in space?

Maybe he's been having heart problems.

Abeg what's the name of the movie

I wonder where Beaf is

Defense HQ is yet to make any categorical statement about Shekau. I guess it's cos they're not yet sure.

kel4soft: Thanks man, I believe you agree with me on their jeans.

yes I do but they'll soon get there

kel4soft: I have a special tailor that makes my clothes for me at Aba. Those guys are genius. I can make close to 15 clothes at once there ranging from shirts to my etibo. [/b]But, for now I don't patronise their shoes[b] and jeans cos they are still way below standard, that may change soonest if this topic is anything to go by.

When next you go to Aba, meet a shoe maker and tell him that you want foreign standard. He'll only ask you if you can afford it. If you agree on a price, get ready to collect a shoe that you'll pass down to your descendants .

centje: i think it's time we go beyond mere posting here. We can get all these ideas organised and integrated, and see how we can sell them to politicians and leaders of igbo nation, and to the old eastern region.

Gbam!!!

There's this Kengali (hope I got the spelling right) guy who also has wonderful ideas about SE development. In my spare time I'll search for his posts

KnowAll: Which kind bait be that, destroying a [/b]40 million dollar[b] Alfa jet deliberately in order to draw out BH operatives.

Remember iwe bought them in the 80's . We shouldn't be using them by now

As our military starts recording victories against the insurgents at the war front, these vile creatures will have no option but to resort to attacks like this and suicide bombing. They're now desperate.

The intelligence community (DMI, SSS, etc) and the police should rise to the occasion. In cases like this instead of waiting for the army to respond because they're obviously being overstretched at this moment, our MOPOL should've been the first line of defence.

RIP to the dead
