God will save you from hate, deep seated bitterness & bias first then I'm open to saving for my own misdemeanours as well.

There is no government anywhere in the world that does not employ propaganda, what sets each apart is how it's propagated.

In this case, the message to be gleaned from the statement I quoted is one of keeping to the straight & narrow, not soiling one's hands which in my book is an overkill...

Defaulting on 1.2m isn't what we are talking about, it's the big numbers not what some use to make it rain in clubs in a couple of hours...

P.S.. Savor this response, e go tey before you see another!!

Femi Falana, human rights activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has called on the federal government to drop its plan to borrow $29.960 billion to execute key projects across the country.

The soft-spoken lawyer said the government would be putting the collective destiny of the younger generation in jeopardy should it go ahead with the controversial decision.

President Muhammadu Buhari recently asked the approval of the National Assembly to borrow the said loan from the World Bank.


Falana, while speaking at the 2016 annual general conference of Committee for Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) in Lagos on Saturday, urged the federal government to source for funds locally.

The lawyer, who is a former president of CDHR, said the government should use recovered loot and go after chronic debtors to fund its projects
He said: “We hear that the federal government wants to borrow $29 billion to fund the economy, my advice is we do not need to do this at such a period in our economy.

“What about the millions of the recovered loots from those who stole our money, our money that are in the hands of those who decided to steal from the treasury?


“I have a report from Nigeria Extractive Transparency Initiative, NEITI which states that the oil companies and NNPC are owing the federal government a joint $20.2b.

“All these should be recovered and used for these projects instead of putting the destiny of the younger generation and those to come in jeopardy as a result of the huge national debt it will bring.”

Splendid... Change should begin with them..







Say what?! Abegiiii, we are not lil kids!! This is weak !! 1.2m is what even an aide of one of their numerous office holders will pay without giving it a 2nd thought!!

Weak propaganda!!!

Our brothers would never appreciate their own,they tarnish the image of their revered national leaders, irrespective of their performance or potentials, coz they belong to the other party.

Ask them why they so much loathe the likes of Rochas, Ngige, Onu, Igbokwe, Utomi et al, they will tell you it's because of his party.

I am sure if Obiano decamps today, he becomes an enemy not minding his so-much acclaimed achievements.

If you mess up your leaders, do you think other Nigerians would respect them?

Continue bringing down your credible leaders while expecting presidency. Una go wait tire

For those who swiftly condemns anyone that expresses skepticism about the genuineness of Chibok abduction claims, the incident of bomb blast on the eve of the release of 21 Chibok girls few weeks ago and today's news emanating from Borno State about another deadly explosion should without prejudice put pay to the lies been peddled around the apparent conspiracy tagged Chibok abduction. While it's incontrovertible that a kidnap indeed took place, events before and after the April 14, 2014 incident clearly point to the fact that Chibok is a local and international conspiracy for the sole purpose of wining the 2015 elections. These are the damning facts and inescapable questions:

1. After combing Sambissa forest for more than a year post May 2015 inauguration, why was there no trace of Chibok girls despite the release of more than 2000 hostages both young and old, male and female by the Nigerian Army?

2. Why did Boko haram choose to strike on the eve of releasing 21 Chibok girls despite the claim by the government of intense negotiations and compromise?

3. How could a sect that has wasted more than 15,000 lives decide to release 21 girls without a swap or prisoner exchange as claimed by the govt?

4. Do the unfolding events suggest that the Chibok girls were carefully kept in a secluded environment by some unscrupulous elements with the connivance of local (State) authority in a bid to draw both international and local appeals all geared toward discrediting the then sitting govt?

5. Why would Boko haram be magnanimous in releasing some of the Chibok Girls but continues to kill other innocent citizens at the same time?

6. Are we been made to believe that the government of Buhari has been "negotiating" with a faction of Boko haram that "abducted" the Chibok girls while the other deadly faction remain unreachable, uncompromising or evasive? With these latest killings, is there any substance in the so-called negotiation claims?

7. If indeed negotiations are ongoing, why would Boko haram decide to strike today, killing people in the process while Buhari's govt is promising a release of another set of 83 Chibok hostages?

While we mourn the spirits of those caught in the latest dastardly act of human wasters who will do anything to achieve religious, political and economic aims, we would not shy away from the responsibility of exposing the gigantean conspiracy which Chibok represents.

God bless Nigeria.

First we hear boko haram is technically defeated by commander in chief.

We here 21 Chibok girls were exchanged for boko haram members.

Then we hear soldiers kidnapped by boko haram.

Then we hear Boko haram didn't sexually abuse girls.

Now boko haram is 100% defeated.

Must be a great week in Nigeria if all this is true. I doubt many have trust government that much though. Bookmarking this story. If it changes we know this is truly a propaganda government.

Beremx what do you have to say since you voted in a government that despise your people
