They can never be found because of this your missile-like English.

You even emboldened the last bomb..

socialmediaman:
Wailers and their one way reasoning. Any reasonable person knows a new president must be given time to settle in and deal with inherited problems and forge ahead. Even the lecturers and health workers that were striking before GEJ left know this.

Well, gone are the days when every civil action against the government was termed "opposition party"

donsteady:
She should cover her head in shame

hurricaneChris:
Useless mofos!

When one twitter handle by name "Imam Sadiq" was spreading hate speeches against GEJ in march before elections, many monkeys here on nairaland said the guy wasn't a muslim or an hausa guy.

This twitter handle swore never will muslims allow infidel back to Aso Rock. Many people here called him an imposter from PDP.

Now in september, another proxy twitter handle by the name "chima Okoro63" has predicted a bomb blast, and it happened. Wow! He's surely an Igbo guy.

Thunder will fire all of you hypocritic nitwits.

omenka:
Hope the Nigerian police is aware of this. They should bring the guy in for questioning.

Stelvin101:
In as much as what am about to say hurts, it's the basic truth. South West, South East and Majority of them South South boiz are the ones doing the kidnapping. Most of them av lived in those places especially Lagos, Warri, Asaba Onitsha and Portharcourt.

A member of my family (An In-law) was kidnapped and still held right now. From the voice of the kidnappers, they are Delta Ibo and pure Igbo. Delta State Governor Okowa is another great mistake Deltans have made. Quote me anywhere

Ngasky:
this is fake. kebbi state has not recorded a single case of robbery in the past two years and they are not the least?
likewise sokoto state.
all the cases of afore mention crimes are non existent in this two states

mannobi:
This report is a perfect definition of FAKE. I guess the researchers are only conversant with the west bbecause we obviously know where it happens most. Teacher Don't teach me nonsense.

TonySpike:
Kidnap statistics say that South West has a rate of 5%, While South East has 4%. Tell me OP, what is the statistical difference between 4% and 5%?

Aegon:
APC Confused Government. Everybody has suddenly switched off his/her phone in order not to answer questions. Do we actually need to be invited to any meeting that discusses Boko Haram? Lying Liers.

EXCLUSIVE: UN counters Nigeria, says country properly invited to missed Boko Haram meeting
September 29, 2015Nicholas Ibekwe

Muhammadu Buhari at UN General Assembly
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, (UNOCHA), has told PREMIUM TIMES that Nigeria was officially informed and properly invited to a high-level event in New York where the Boko Haram insurgency in the Lake Chad Basin was discussed.
This is contrary to the claims by the Nigerian presidency that the country was neither informed nor invited to the meeting where Nigeria’s neighbours and key humanitarian agencies brainstormed on how to tackle the refugee crisis caused by the conflict.
The event was organised by UN Under-Secretary-General, Stephen O’Brien, but Nigeria, the epicentre of the Boko Haram insurgency, was absent.
Reuters news agency reported last week that U.S. and European Union diplomats were disappointed that Nigeria was not represented at the meeting.
The news of the absence of the Nigerian delegation at the meeting attracted condemnation back home with many blaming it on the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint ministers.
They argued that a competent minister of foreign affairs would have ensured that the country was represented at the meeting where such an important issue was discussed.
In an email to PREMIUM TIMES, on Sunday, backed up with a list of events the President’s delegation was invited to participate, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, insisted the presidency did not get an invite to attend the meeting.
“There is no record of any invitation to the Nigerian Mission as confirmed by the Permanent Representative, Prof Joy Ogwu,” he said.
But a spokesperson for UNOCHA, Jens Laerke, who is based in Geneva, told PREMIUM TIMES over the telephone that not only was the office of the Permanent Representative of the Nigerian Mission to the United Nations officially informed and invited for the event, an invite was in fact sent to the office of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, prior to the departure of the Nigerian delegation to the UNGA.
“I’m almost 100 per cent sure that Nigeria was invited. One of the reasons was that I read the original speech by O’Brien in which he acknowledged the presence of the Nigerian government,” he said.
Mr Laerke, however, asked to be allowed to double-check with his colleague in New York, who was in charge of inviting participants for the meeting. He called back four hours later after checking with his organisation’s New York office.
“I’ve just been in contact with my colleague in New York and we can assure you that the government of Nigeria was invited to the event and my colleagues in New York did what they could to ensure that they were provided with the invitation,” he said.
When asked which organ of the Nigerian government the invite was sent to, Mr Laerke responded: “Actually, the government was invited both by direct communication to the Vice President and then subsequently through the permanent representation in New York.
“My colleague told me he actually went there personally to hand over the invitation to make sure they receive the invitation. We really made an effort to make sure the government was aware of the invitation because we really want them to come.”
When asked to for documentary evidence that the Nigerian mission was actually informed, and indeed received and acknowledged the invitation, Mr Laerke demanded an official letter before that could be made available.
PREMIUM TIMES did exactly as he requested.
In an email to this newspaper on Tuesday, Mr Laerke said the New York office of UNOCHA was yet to revert to him.

“I have not obtained any reply regarding your request for access to written documentation. In the meantime, however, I have double checked the matter and I can assure you that Nigeria was invited to the event. We don’t know why they didn’t come.
“You may want to raise this with the Permanent Mission of Nigeria at the UN in New York.
Allow me to add that the Nigerian Government is a valued partner of the UN and UNOCHA,” he wrote.
PREMIUM TIMES contacted Nigeria’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations but its spokesperson, Tope Elias-Fatile, declined to provide categorical answer when asked if the Mission received an invite for the Boko Haram event.
This newspaper sent Mr. Elias-Fatile an email on Monday asking him five questions, including two dealing with Nigeria’s invitation to and representation at the Boko Haram event.
Other questions dealt with President Buhari’s attendance at the session where Pope Francis addressed the UN.
But in his response, the spokesperson gave a blanket answer which did not categorically answer any of the questions.
He merely said, “Only one answer with brief explanation will suffice to all the questions:
“Mr. President arrived promptly to all events in which he was scheduled to attend, including Pope Francis’ address to the United Nations.
“Specifically, Mr. President arrived promptly at the General Assembly well ahead of Pope’s address and he listened to the address. You can verify this by any video coverage of the event.”
Efforts to seek clarification from Permanent Representative Joy Ogwu by telephone was unsuccessful.
Since Saturday, multiple calls to the Mission’s telephone numbers were answered by an automated voice prompt that kept linking the calls to what appeared a dead extension.
A separate email to the official address of the permanent mission, sent Saturday, has also not been replied.
When contacted on the insistence by the UN that Nigeria was invited to the event, presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said, “Ask them to give you evidence that the invitation was delivered, and the name of the staff who received it. Prof. Joy Ogwu said there was no invitation. We need evidence before anyone can say what she said is inaccurate.”
Laolu Akande, the spokesperson for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, whose office UNOCHA said it also informed of the event, could not be reached to comment for this story. His telephone was switched off the several times PREMIUM TIMES called.

GentleNaaz:

The truth must be told!!!
I am from Igbo extraction..... admire PMB so much for this

Tolatutu:
Saraki is not considered as a full northern because he has Yoruba blood. Saraki will not take a single vote from Buhari in the north. They will always choose a core northerner like Buhari over half breed like Saraki . Even full northerners like Tambuwal and do can't compete with Buhari. Politically the north is always the most united in their voting and that is why they keep having an edge in politics over other tribes

PDPwayoo:
is Tinubu occupying any political office. You talking about Tinubu, what about:
1. Jim Nwaobodo
2. Alex Ekweme
3. orji Kalu
4. Mbadinuju
4. Ken Nnamani etc.

If you are talking about past corruption, then you must produce these criminals alone Tinubu. TO PUT THE LONG STORY SHORT. IGBOS ARE MAD STUP1D. VERY USELESS AND SHAMELESS TRIBE THAT SUPPORT CORRUPTION.

Phase 2 is in action. Who doesn't know politicians , once the heat is turned on they will drop him like a hot pan

Once again Saraki wins !!! Sai Saraki

Mamatee07:
You think Tinubu is a baby politician , you think this wasn't expected Is that how politics is that the senators will just turn on him ASAP lol of course not, it's in stages. Numbers will gradually reduce as the pressure is increased. This game is still in the first phase

Chosen1984:
