If it was in SE, by now we would have been returning from the 4th Biafran war

There's oil in the South East. Imo State even has huge oil deposits that haven't been explored

FBI indicted Tailor Abba Kyari, etc without harassment or breaking into houses in the middle of the night.

Asking EFCC to behave with professionalism is like asking General Buhari to recognize human rights.

PDP government was bad, but this APC government has been hellish for Nigeria and Nigerian.
Truth be told, we've lost in all facets but zombies will always support their master because of the crumbs they receive

tiger28:
E don happen o! Like we have predicted, ipob is run by miscreants....and they want to rule Nigeria? Maybe in the next 100 years!

The North has ruled for years, where are they now?

These threats might not actually be from IPOB

ILoveDemMANNA:
Evil of the present government?
Look at the mouth of an hypocrite.

Let me rephrase your hypocritical post for you,
Anyone who supports the evil of this present government and the evil of the evil party you supported for 16 years will die soon soon soon.
If it is you or the people you are accusing that support evil, terrible deaths shall before anyone that have supported evil government in Nigeria.
Look at the prayer of a hypocrite.
Shame no even catch u to type 'this evil government and not any evil government in the history of Nigeria '
Perfectly perfect indeed.
Shame on you and yours.

Unlike you, I'm not shameless to agree that both PDP and APC are evil parties. I don't sell my future and my future generation for crumbs. Keep supporting evil, it'll get to you soon

LordVoldermort:
Your sounding as if there's no governor or local government chairman to blame, everything is Buhari

But you imbeciles blamed Jonathan during his tenure. Hypocrisy is your middle name

Anyone who supports the evils of the present government, I pray these evil befall you. As you've chosen to see Black and call it White, so shall fate your fate be in the nearest future.
I remember when Sarrki was praising this government but changed mouth after fulani herdsmen destroyed his farm. is doing same now. The evil you support shall follow you all.
Amen

Anioma, good land in Igbo

Dear sir, only the enemies of Nigeria hate Alhaji Lai Mohammed . That's one of the best ex-Chief of Stafff Lagos State has ever had. He is not only an experienced Lawyer,  he is a brilliant administrator and a communicator with first degree in French Language yet he was not from a rich background. He is old enough to be a father to many of you .


If you are old enough to know who Alhaji Lai Mohammed is, you will know that you still have a long way to go in your own life and you don't cover such milestones in life if as a youth one spends all his or her time on Nairaland. It's particularly an unwise use of time hiding behind the anonymity of this kind of platform to run down others. Seriously,  for most of you,  Lai Mohammed is the least of your problems,  what you need to deal with first is the consequences of bad character of living different lifestyles online and offline , bad upbringing and highly addictive self imposed idleness. 

May God bless Lai Mohammed and other patriots . May God bless Nigeria. All the enemies of Nigeria will always lose .

You're not a patriot. Go and check the definition of a patriot

Demigod22:
I can't marry her for one reason, when our relationship was having issue she had sex with my friend just to hurt me. The last sex we had was okafor law on the beat because we are not even dating again, I just feel good having sex with her because that's the only way I can get back at her.

But I can marry the last girl I kissed.

Avoid that your friend, he can kill you.

iamjavadem:
If you are not into anything shady, I don’t think you should be worried. Everything needs to be regulated and I am sure America also has such an institution put in place.

Did you read the bill before making this post?

providencia:
I thought this is practiced by all igbos

It is, but Anambra does it the most

An Anambra man will take a young man under his tutelage as his "boy", the young man will work for him for up to 5 years. During this period, the young man will learn everything about his master's business. After the agreed period, his master will settle him with cash of up to millions of naira, or set up and stock a shop for him. The young man has already learned everything he needs to do great in that business.
This is the reason why Anambra state has the highest number of billionaires in Africa

Every sane mind knows that APC and Buhari has failed in every ramification. I'm ashamed that people like , Ngeneukwuenu, Sarrki and other sub-humans keep claiming otherwise.

, here's a thread I want you to read; https://www.nairaland.com/6711514/dollar-bribes-received-lawmakers-pass. You and your kind didn't comment on that thread as usual.
Your darling daddy is an epitome of corruption and you and your kind are disgraces to yourselves and family

LikeAking:
Relax.

Part of the problem of Nigeria today originates from the missionary schools our leaders attended.

Catolic priest cant train a useful med doc in our current society.

They lack real life experience. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO DEM. "Catolic priest no get real life experience, they are even secluded from the real world. How will such people run an edu system effectively. I doubt.


The governor should have attended the sch over to the Nigerian medical union instead. They will do a better job.

Catholic priest are very good at nurturing priest and rev sisters, not people outside the religious sector.

I bodly said and I stand to be corrected = Most Nigerian dont know the true meaning of education.

Una dey see were our problems they come from?

Lolzz. Dude, the school being run by the catholic church doesn't mean only priests and Reverend sisters will teach there.p

Angelfrost:
Littered ke?!!.. For just 2 or 3 Ekuke per Airport.

This is probably the difference between PDP and APC. While the former had the decency and presence of mind to eat in secret, the latter simply throw it in your face!

You're actually right on this. PDP stole but they always tried to hide it but APC is stealing and making us know they're stealing because they know there's nothing we can do about it except wail online

Ayo2004:
Some of these oyinbos are crazier than Nigerians and that says a lot

If it were to be a black man,many stupid Nairalanders will come out and starting saying rubbish like "black man never learns","Africa is cursed"

It's absolutely disgusting the way some people here readily castigate their countrymen

Sources in the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) have revealed how the Federal Minister of Communications and Digital Economy of Nigeria, Isa Ali Pantami, bribed officials within the agency to enforce a bill targeted at destroying ICT startups in the country.

Sources who spoke with SaharaReporters, stated that the minister has been putting in effort to destroy the technology sector and impose his fundamentalist ideals on the works of other agencies.

Pantami’s past call to Jihad and unalloyed support for murderous groups like the Taliban and Al-Qaeda portray him as a dyed-in-the-wool Islamic fundamentalist. Yet, President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Pantami as communications minister to control the country’s massive data and telephone infrastructure and other sensitive details of national intelligence.


The President also recently stood by the minister after his past support for terrorist groups became public knowledge.


"This jihad is an obligation for every single believer, especially in Nigeria,’’ Pantami said in one of his vicious preachings in the 2000s. “Oh God, give victory to the Taliban and al-Qaeda (Allahumma’ nṣur Ṭālibān wa-tanẓīm al Qā‘ida).”


SaharaReporters, however, learnt that Pantami recently took members of the board of NITDA to Turkey, in a bid to bribe them to get his controversial bill to scale through.


One of the sources said, “Pantami tries to destroy technology sector and systematically encroach on works of other agency. He took members of the board of NITDA to Turkey, trying to bribe them over such bills."


"They were in Turkey last two months and the fruits of the bribery that will destroy startups in the ICT sector and create more jobless Nigerians is on track,” another source said.


The new bill for which Pantami is lobbying officials is targeted at repealing the National Information Technology Development Agency Act, no 28 2007.


SaharaReporters obtained a copy of the bill titled ‘A bill for an Act to repeal the National Information Technology Development Agency Act, no 28 2007 and enact the National Information Technology Development Agency Act to provide for the administration, implementation, regulation of information technology systems and practices as well as digital economy in Nigeria and for related matters’.


The bill, according to sources, seeks to repress (regulate) the information technology sector as it highlights weighty penalties for offenders ranging from N3 million for individual offenders to N30 million for corporate offenders.


Section 20 of the bill under Licensing And Authorisations explicitly spells out the requirement for licences, registrations and authorisations for operators in this sector.


It read, “The Agency shall by Regulation issue licenses and authorisations for operators in the information technology and digital economy sector, and such regulation shall provide for licensing and authorisation criteria including renewal, suspension, and revocation conditions to promote free-market operation and competition, among others.”


Subsection 2 states, “The Agency shall determine and register operators in the information technology and digital economy sector. Such register shall be published.


”Any person or body corporate who operates an information technology or digital economy service, product, or platform contrary to the provisions of this Act, commits an offence.”


Section 21 lists the classes of licences and authorisations to include: Product License, Service Provider License and Platform Provider License.


The bill states a N3 million to N30 million fine for offenders over “non-payment upon expiration of a demand notice of an assessed levy within 2 months by a corporate body... Where a person or body corporate fails to comply with the regulations, standards, guidelines, frameworks, circulars, directives or any subsidiary legislation issued by the Agency in the discharge of its duties under this Act...”

It adds, “Where a person or body corporate attempts to or denies any person authorised by the Agency or by law, entry into premises or access to records or data, in pursuance of the provisions of this Act, such a person or body corporate commits an offence and is liable on conviction: (a) in the case of an individual, to a fine of not less than N3,000,000.00 or imprisonment for a term of not less than 1 year or both; and (b) in the case of a body corporate, to a fine of not less than N30,000,000.00 and in addition, every director and principal officer of such body corporate shall individually be liable to not less than N3,000,000.00 or imprisonment for a term of not less than 2 years or both.”


The bill also states in subsection 4: “Where a person or body corporate imports or deploys the usage of any information technology equipment that has been designated by the Agency as requiring approval before importation or deployment, without first obtaining such approval or complying with the conditions imposed by the Agency for the importation and usage of the equipment, the person or body corporate commits an offence and is liable on conviction...”


The new bill, when signed into law, will protect the agency and employees from legal suits.


Section 28 of the bill titled ‘Limitation of suits against the Agency’ reads, “Subject to this Act, the Public Officers Protection Act shall apply in relation to any suit instituted against any member, officer, or employee of the Agency.


”Notwithstanding anything in any other law, no suit against the Agency, a member of the Board, the Director-General of the Agency or any other officer or employee of the Agency for any act done in pursuance or execution of this Act or any other law, or of any public duty or authority or regarding any alleged neglect or default in the execution of this Act or any other law, duty or authority, shall lie or be instituted in any court unless it is commenced: (a) within three months after the act, neglect or default complained of; or (b) in the case of a continuation of damage or injury, within six months after the ceasing of such damage or injury.


“No suit shall be commenced against the Agency, a member of the Board, the Director-General of the Agency, or any other employee of the Agency before the expiration of a period of one month after written notice of the intention to commence the suit shall have been served on the Agency by the intending plaintiff or his or her agent.


”The notice referred to in subsection (3) of this section shall clearly state the: (a) cause of action; (b) particulars of the claim; (c) name and address of the intending plaintiff; and (d) relief claimed.”

It surprises me that people are still canvassing to get Tinubu into Aso rock. Nigerians love suffering. I pray that the dream I had where Nigeria divided into different parts will come to pass so that the regions who want to progress will do so unhindered and the regions that want to go back to the 19th century will do so too

Selective justice because he's a northerner. Southern Nigeria has got to be the most gullible and foolish people on Earth. Keep screaming One Nigeria while the north rape you guys front and back

esdeemiami:
We are in for along ride.....congratulations to northern region

The souther region has representatives across board weather as a governor,senators or house of assembly member if they truly care about the southern region and it people they surely know how to fight for it interest but since it is about them they can allow the northern have a filled day why become refugee even to Thier God given natural resource

Northern representatives far outnumber the southern reps and so when bills like this come up, the northerners will always vote in favour of themselves

CSTRR:
I am sure you don't believe this.

How is a worse thing better?

I read the comment of the idiot you quoted and I was shocked.
The truth is that this country has passed the stage of redemption

benuejosh:
We are ONE Nigeria. Lets stop the fighting and hate. Let peace reign.

One Nigeria kii u there. Go to irigwe community and tell them about one Nigeria and see if they won't bury you alive

If you believe that God exists, I don't see why you shouldn't believe in rituals

mrvitalis:
The truth is Nigeria is a complex mix
..yorubas won't get obi because they are naturally social capitalist like the Norway , Denmark and their brothers

Obi is talking from a capitalist point of view like Germans , Japanese

Infrastructure are good , but are only feel good projects

Lagos ibadan rail can't break even in 100 years ..I'm not saying make profit ...yet u spent $1.5b ok it ...that's 750 billion ...what does that add to our GDP every year nothing

Imagine u take same 750 billion ...call the 10 biggest glass importers ...what would it take to move to manufacturing here ....how much do u want ....work with banks the form partnership establishing 3 glass factory ...that would cost not more than $600m ...u give them $400 million ask them to fund the other $200 million as loan without interest and payment break of 5 years from when they start operations ... payment in the next 10 years

Each factory would employ over 3000 people direct that's 9000 direct over 15000 I direct job

Nigeria glass import is around $1.5 billion a year ...with another $2 billion in west Africa and central African market ,

This would grow our GDP by 3.5 billion dollars minimum , generate a tax of over 50 million dollars per year

Now u still have $1.1 billion

U can do the same for ceramics plates and bathroom equipments ...that's would be less 200 million dollars as loan to the importers can set up 5 factories

U are left with $800 million

Garment factories in aba can cloth Nigeria with $400 million invest ...link the leather producers in kano the shoe markers in aba

Make it easy to transport with police harassment

We can commercialize the rice species we have developed ...$100 million to rice importers can do the magic

$1.5 billion if invested well can generate 5 to 10 billion GDP growth per year

beautiful analysis. We need people with your kinda mentality in government

Omoluabi1stborn:
For once I agree with Femi.
Without infrastructure no nation can move forward.
All this Health, Power, IT its also infrastructure you'll use to
The machines and equipments are also infrastructures

About the loans, you can actually use loan to build an economy provided it has a reasonable return.

That's why people take loan to fund a project you can't have the capitals
In fact a reasonable business man won't use his capital and personal Money to fund a long term business, instead he obtains a loan.

I think you should read the post before yours. The poster was very apt

I'm currently in Ụmụahia and I'm surprised with how good their roads are. All these stories I've been hearing on nairaland about how bad their roads are don't seem to be true. Apart from their roads being narrow, the roads are well maintained

Patriotism is loyalty to the country, not loyalty to the leaders. Anybody who supports this rubbish of rehabilitating known murders, I pray you experience the same thing.
Amen

focus7:
So this practice exist in Igbo land and they will come here to accuse the northerners for the same. A case of pot calling kettle black.

One thing I have come to learn about the igbos is that whatever they accuse other tribes for are mostly practice by them, hypocrisy runs in their veins.

I'm Igbo and since I was born I've never seen where a lady under 18 years old got married
