Haba Papabrowne, I will say with all respect am disappointed in your interpretation of the situation. Did you not read their reasons, how fair is it that a group of boys will just impose levies of all kinds on people who are working hard to make a lin=ving. Have you evr traveled in one of those trailers? Do you know how many days they spend on the road, bad road bad weather and almost dead cars just to bring food down south and make a living? how fair is it that a grooup of boys who dont work and who are not government officials impose taxes and levies on their small profit?
These are hard working suffering masses, they mostly dont give a hoot if YarAdua is Presdinet or anything, we have had lots of leaders from the north who had no impact on their lives because the roads are still bad and they need good roads and better transport faclities to earn a living and stay alive for their children. Am from the north and believe me the average northern amn prefers to beg and lazy around, the ones that bring food down south are the hard working ones who know that their children deserve a better life and so embark on the suicidal journey.
I think of you with so much more respect, these men are just trying to earn their pay

Shutalim said, ”If we are transporting cattle and other foodstuffs to the South, [b]some states are blocking us and collecting money from us. If you buy something in Maiduguri and you are bringing it to the South, nobody disturbs you in Yobe, Bauchi, Plateau and Nassarawa. But as soon as you come to Makurdi, you start facing extortion and it extends to Enugu, Anambra, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Akwa-Ibom and Cross River.

”We have been paying it. We have decided not to be paying any longer. That is why we are complaining to the Federal Government to stop them. If the Federal Government didn‘t intervene, we will stop the supply of all types of food from the North to every part of Nigeria. We are going to stop until the officers concerned intervene. We are not going to be paying double taxation in federal highway.”

Shaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaap!!!

Imagine a Niger-Deltan defending Danjuma all in the name of defending a crook like Jonathan.

It is thinking like this that makes people like you defend the Ibrus et al, just because they are Niger-Deltans.

Danjuma is a thief and mass murderer.

The oil-bloc he sold belongs to a community whose lands were seized illegaly by the Government and dashed to him under the inhumane Land Use Act.

^^^^^^^^
Graduating from nonsense to even more nonsense!!Here, have some>>>>>
Yar Adua returned to the country since noooow! He is now living in the creeks of the Niger Delta. He has joined MEND in its struggle.
Even sef, Turai has become the grandmother of the President of Bakassi. She accept the position in all humility.
Ahen, Babangida will soon be made the chairman of the European Union.
Obasanjo has now been appointed by Sanusi as the new CEO of Zenith Bank.

For those doubting,watch the events that will unfold in the coming few days!!

Sky Blue:
I understand that after three years of Yar Adua anything would look like progress but please, Johnathan is working but he is not on overdrive abeg, so no need to use such words as "overdrive" to whip up sentiment. This sort of news is getting stale. Bearing in mind that this is working on a federal level and not running some backyard pure water operation, the fact that someone would think having a committee set up with a properly defined outline and appointing people who actually know the field is "working on overdrive", really is a sign of the times. There is so much to be done and he still hasn't addressed electoral reforms and a host of other issues. When he begins to do some serious multi tasking on the overbearing issues, then you can use the word "overdrive".

It short circuits Danjuma's VP ambitions, could be a smart move.

It was stated in the news that the Chief Security Officer (CSO) and ADC to Mr. President sauntered into the executives chamber of the Federal Executive Council (FEC)to exchange pleasantries with their friends and some ministers. This to me is strange when they ought to be around the vicinity where Mr. President was recuperating (if he was actually around) but instead the TWO of them chose (or were ordered) to make an appearance at the chambers to create the false impression that Mr. President will preside over the meeting of FEC .

debosky:
This is a petition - essentially an allegation. It may turn out to be unfounded in reality.

I will wait for more evidence before passing any hasty judgments. If the money was not 'remitted', it must have been paid either to the FIRS or into a CBN account. Let the accused defend themselves and then we'll see.

Yes, I know this is Nigeria, but I do believe this is a malicious petition intended to slander the FIRS boss.

biina:
So says the bank 'chairman'. Your self aggrandizement of importance like a toddler is just hilarious. 
With all your claims to seeing what others 'miss', I am yet to see you backup your position with facts and figures, only opinions and innuendo. The truth is that it is the likes of you that have been damaging the economy by preaching doom and gloom
Still, you are free to make whatever 'prophetic' statements you want about sanusi, but I would advise that you stay away from boxing those who do not share your views into any societal class or caste.

jeez:
I have a friend abroad who has substantial funds in some of the rescued banks. He came accross an article in which sanusi threatened to liquidate the rescued banks if they dont cooperate with the consultants packaging them for sale. He is worried and thinking of flying  down to move his funds to first bank nigeria early  next month. What do you think i advise him as i am not even sure of the future of these banks given   unpredictable reforms. He has funds in Oceanic , Afri bank, Intercontinental and Union bank. Do you think these banks would even last the next three months so that he does not hurry down

edoyad:
Guy this is not how big business is conducted round the world, why can't the fcking govt revoke these licenses ? Do we have to start killing people like the Khmer in Cambodia before they do what's right FFS ?
