justosee:
This is the only good thing Buhari has done. How can those who brought Covid-19 be banning us from going to their countries? Africa need to wake up.
.
They banned us because they know that we don't have any kind of system in place to checkmate a new and more lethal variant. Nigerians , from the citizens up to the leaders have been acting like the pandemic was over . They see our dysfunctional system. They see how our dysfunctional system endangers them. They act to protect their citizens.
On the other hand, what has Nigerian government done to protect its citizens from any danger? Zero
Nigerian government only acts knerjerk to protect its own bruised ego, not protect its citizens. If the Nigerian government were sensitive to the plight of its citizens, it would carefully consider the impact a retaliatory measure would harm Nigeria citizens home and abroad.

Reading what most people have posted here, I must say that Nigeria is a very cruel , soulless country with even more cruel , soulless citizens in the majority.
The way society treats and oppresses women and children says volumes about that society and where it is going.

Would you give your children to a mentally unstable woman? What’s wrong with you? Does that woman sound like someone there capable of raising children? Did you read all the allegations she leveled against her ex lover. No sane person will say all those things. She even said she didn’t conceive through sex for the man. I shame for you I swear. It’s not every time that you do solidarity. Sometimes just use common sense. Until it’s confirmed medically that the woman is fit to raise children on her own. I wouldn’t advise she gets custody of those children.
Sharap dia.
I was stunned and very impressed with that woman's poise and articulation. I thought she was a bimbo until I watched that interview.
If you are intelligent enough to study people, study how they use words to articulate points, and body language, you could easily see that the woman was genuine, sincere and definitely not coached to make the points that she did. Aside from all the issues she finely articulated, DO YOU NOT already know that FFK is a basket case ?
Any man, an Ivey league school graduate, who's only literary contribution to humanity is a book about all the women he had slept with ought to strike you as a chronic narcissistic psychopath. FFK has , in many occasions, shown the whole world what a sociopath that he is. A man that is not only estranged to his 3 former wives, but also to all his 4 daughters ought to strike you as a man with very deep irredeemable psychological issues .
Infact, Chinwendu confirmed to all of us every weird thing we had suspected of FFK.
For good example, The Title of his auto biography was already screaming to us that the poor wretched soul was impotent. Chinwendu only just confirmed it.
The Real tragedy for all of us is that in this god-forsaken country, a psychopath like FFK and many many like him , get to be a minister, a political jobber, and dines at the corridors of power.

It is very relevant and poignant.

Each time I think about India's ascension from being a third world basket case 4 decades ago, to being the foremost nurturer and exporter of Brainpower today, I cannot but also think of how Nigeria descended so far from being one of the nations with greatest potentials in the world the same 4 decades ago to being the number one basket case today in 2021.
India equalized by embracing science education and investing heavily on it. Nigeria, on the hand, doubled down on its investment in primitive stone superstitions from the middle East. There are 10x more religious denominations in our tertiary institutions than are academic or science clubs.
Our entire educational system is suffused with so much religious crap. Our pupils spend more time memorizing and reciting stone age religious crap from the middle than they do studying the Periodic Table and basic science.

PoliticsRe: Removal Of Petrol Subsidy Could Be Buhari's Greatest Achievement If He Succeeds by plaetton: 10:38pm On Nov 29, 2021
AlexBells:
"Ask not what your counntry can Do For you, ask what you can do for your country" by John F Kenedy.

Everyday Nigerians yearns for a better country where citizens would not just eat three square meals a day but also with chicken and some fine wines.

I really can't boast of what the past have left us but I want a country where my children would be proud of the sacrifices my generation had made, if you want a better country and a better future there MUST be a price to it.

Petrol Subsidy Removal is the first step to getting it right in Nigeria, Note, any aspiring politician in Nigeria MUST borrow Buhari's left ear which he don't like to hear with otherwise you would lose focus soon enough.

Nothing had escalated corruption in the Nigerian history more than Petrol subsidy becuase by that every Nigerian became corrupt, virtually everyone is stealing from the treasury for every litre of petrol.

You might think that the biggest corrupt practices in Nigeria is the crooked allocation of oil wells but the biggest dollars are signed off through this subsidy, and subsidy did not just harm the petrochemical industries it harmed virtually everything.

Petrol Barron are crooks who would suply any amount of gasoline becuase the pay is directly from the national purse and Nigerians over use things that are dependent on petroleum because they don't understand how much they burn from the national purse each time that generator set is powered up.

Nigeria does not refine our crude oil part of the reason is because big petrol importers sabotage efforts to get our refineries working, what about electricity generation this same crazy affordability of petrol had equipped every home with generator set and people don't bother to put pressure on the government to generate more electricity apart from that, the same big conglomerate sabotage these efforts.

Now I know that Nigeria is a very crazy and densely corrupt country, but the reality is that everyone wants to be corrupt in this country, in fact everyone is corrupt, you can't be pointing fingers at the bigger fish when you want to steal over #200 from every litre of petrol you buy, if you look at it very well you figure out that in a month, an average Nigerian could have stolen more than #2000 from the country.

Don't even come here shouting how there is no job, really we export crude oil quite alright, then corrupt politicians and other chiefs would steal then we little people at the bottom steal then tell me how much would be left of our forex to achieve any meaningful thing.

Abroad remittances had been very significant becuase unlike us who stays here, abroad people don't steal from the country, yet they send back some money.

Irrespective of whatsoever reason I give, Nigerians would still prefer that subsidy stays but it is nothing but exhibition of an inherent corruption and unless the subsidy is removed when next you count list of corrupt Nigerians do remember to count yourself, we can't eat our cake and have it back subsidy is either removed today or we pay massive loans tomorrow.
I wish there was a better word to describe this post other than jaundiced, half-baked .

Ending subsidy without tackling the issues that make subsidy possible would be daft, but not surprising for this type of government that we have been cursed with.

Nigeria pays billions of dollars/Naira for fuel subsidy for one simple reason:
As the 6th largest producer of crude in the world and one of the lowest cost producers, we do not refine our low-cost crude for domestic consumption. That is one of the greatest mysteries and tragedy of the modern century.

After 6 good years in Office, The greatest achievement for Buhari , despite his overwhelming ineptitude and failures in every aspect of governance , WOULD HAVE BEEN to get our 3 Refineries up to capacity to supply the domestic petroleum needs.

Subsidy exists because Nigeria/NNPC has to pay importers international price( USD) for refined petroleum products, and then sells it at a cheaper price to domestic consumers. So the higher the international price of oil , the more the FG pays in subsidy. Also, the weaker the Naira against the USD, the more the FG pays in subsidy.

The only solution would be for Nigeria's refineries to produce enough refined petroleum to meet domestic needs. Then as a low cost producer and refiner of petroleum products, NNPC would be able sell refined petroleum at COST to Nigerians, thereby eliminating the need for any kind of subsidy.

Another important, but very much overlooked issue is the issue of power supply. As a result of poor power supply, Nigerians Burn Billions and Billions of litres of SUBSIDIZED FUEL to power their generators everyday.
Just try to do a mental calculation of how many generators there are in Nigeria and how many hours each one burns , and how many litres of fuel burned each day, and then multiply that by the amount of subsidy per litre of fuel.
You would then realize that Nigeria is perhaps the only Nation in the entire universe that purposefully burn Billions of Naira everyday, and then runs to China the next day to borrow more.

Nigeria is Truly a Dystopian Paradise.

Only the government in power has the power to get our refineries fully functional, If ONLY THEY HAD THE WILL TO SO.

Unfortunately, Buhari has ZERO will to do any hard work for Nigeria.
He has never had, even during his first Missionless journey in governance in 1983.

We tend to forget that despite all his pretenses, Buhari is and has always been part and parcel of the Nigerian parasitic Oligarchy.
As such , he would never do anything meaningful to dislodge his parasitic base from their feeding tubes.

Stop overreacting. Nobody is abandoning anything. He can simply defer a session or two at most and would come back to finish it. There are countless number of people parading the same Degree certificate struggling to get a 20k job. Unemployment in Nigeria is at an alarming rate and a Degree certificate does not guarantee anything.
Stop deluding yourself.
Anyone who purposely got a university education just for the sake of a job is entirely missing the whole point about education.
Education is its own reward, not necessarily a means to a salary . An educated mind is equipped ( not sure if that's case with Nigerian education though) with broader mental skills and versatility with which to navigate a complex and changing world. As such, the person has far greater vocational and career options.

Education is not about walking around with certificates looking for a job, it's more about molding a mind to be focused and versatile, and having options.
By dropping out of school, he greatly limits his future options in life.
And he should not delude himself with the idea of going back to school later, because that hardly ever works out for anyone, talkless of a low ranking, lowly paid police corporal in the Nigerian police force.

Ditching a Degree in place joining the Nigerian police force as recruit would probably be the dumbest thing anyone can do. Even if his dream is to be a police officer, a university degree would place him in much more better position and future options in the police force.
Education is its own reward. Even if an education doesn't guarantee you a suit and tie job in Nigeria, it would certainly give him broader options in the future in Nigeria and outside Nigeria.
Abandoning the pursuit of a university degree to be a Nigerian police corporal would be the dumbest move in anyone's lifetime. A lifetime of regret awaits him he chooses that path.

You IPOB retards have a tunnel vision, which has always been your undoing. If paid attention to any of the points I have made, it shouldn't matter where I am from. Common sense can come from anyone.

I am a bona fide son of the Igbo soil. If you doubt it, then Go to my profile and read my posts over the last 3 years to see how vigorously I had defended IPOB and MNK here on Nairaland, and even offline.

My awakening just came recently when you brainless fools started your compulsory lockedowns, enforced with maximum force and shedding of Igbo blood.
That's when I realized that for whatever bravery I admired of Nnamdi Kanu, he had created a big, ugly MONSTER, a Frankenstein that is now the biggest threat to the peace and freedom of the Igbo people.

When the FG labeled IPOB a terrorist organisation, I, like many Igbos, fumed and abused them online and offline.
But to my greatest shock and to shock of every Igbo sons and daughters, IPOB seem to have taken a cue from the FG, and have since done everything to convince the whole world that they earned the title of terrorists.

I have taken a few times to listen to IPOB broadcasts ,and each time I did, I felt sick in my stomach. The absolute trash coming out of the mouths of those very daft psychopaths who call themselves DOS would be a great comedy if they were not so tragically sad.

You bunch have become abominable , and an embarrassment to the Igbo race. Stop deluding yourselves that you're fighting for Igbo people. Right now, You're fighting for your cult leader. Simple.
And please, stop sacrificing the lives of Igbo people.

Whatever is the outcome of MNK current situation, history would definitely give him a little credit for bravery and speaking truth to power when no else dared to. But the same history would also judge him harshly for the Monstrosity he had created, and the damage it is doing to the Igbo psyche.

As IPOB is currently rudderless, structureless, broke, filled with internal strifes, infigting, backstabbing and even accusations of embezzlement, the lot of you retards and psychopaths would eventually return to your criminal dens. But the damage you have done to the Igbo psyche, peace and freedom, would take a long time to heal.

May the Igbo Soil perpetually curse anyone who shackles the Igbo spirit or sheds Igbo blood in the name of IPOB or MNK .

All we have to do is integrate the eNaira to China's promoted mCBDC bridge for cross border payments and every importer infact everyone will be able to send eNaira to the bridge and its automatically converts to eyuan instantly and you import machineries for production.

Two things will happen.
1. You won't need to buy dollar to import
2. You can easily buy machineries for production and so import with be reduced so dollars will be less needed.

Who ever has much dollars should sell. It's about to go cheap once a bridge for cross border payment is integrated.
I could write about how to increase the velocity of money by accelerating the technologies and building platforms to accelerate integration.

I was not excited about Nigeria until today. I can't wait to design systems for this.

PoS businesses will really help to mop up the old legacy naira into this so there is new type of merchant business kiosks will spring up and after years will die cos we won't need PoS anymore after the mop up phase. Taxing will be easy, tracking will be superb. And trading platform built around this can be monitored. There SEC must design a legit trading platform or illegal players will take over the space. Whether SEC builds it or not, they need to back builders and legalize it, and tax it. It is will bring massive prosperity to the intelligent
This sounds too much like Unicorn Meat.

Too much promises from a system that is basically good at nothing.
In whatever way you do a transaction, especially in global trade, there must always be an exchange rate mechanism. Enaira will be as useful or or useless as the Underlying currency. You make it sound like the Dollar is the problem. A weak naira against the Euro, Pounds, Dollar will also make the e-naira weak against the Won, Yen and CFA, etc.

I'm still not sure how E-naira is supposedly going to help improve trade or the strenght of the Naira.

I remain skeptical.

Terrorism is based on violence, and violence must be an action, not spoken words. If this Professor is relying on whatever Nnamdi Kanu said, wether on radio Biafra or elsewhere, the courts will remind him that no amount of spoken words amounts to violence. This Professor Ivan better have credible evidence to show that IPOB commited acts of violence, or he will sell his liver to pay for damages
Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).

If you believe that illegally Forcing( by use of force) a population to stay at home and not go out to engage in lawful pursuits of work, business or school is not an act of terrorism under the definition of Terrorism, then you live in world that I and 98% Igbos do not ever want to live in.

While everyone has a right to express their opinions, everyone one has the right to take anyone to court based on their expressed opinion, particularly when it is an opinion that is meant to be malicious, such as calling someone a terrorist

IPOB had repeatedly disassociated themselves from the violence this Professor blamed them for. Now the professor will have the opportunity to come to court to present the evidence he has that made him ask the US government to designate IPOB a terrorist group.

However, the US is not backward Nigeria where people are designated terrorists based on online gossip. This is not about bringing videos of dead people, burning vehicles and saying IPOB did it, courts dont operate on hear-say. He will have to prove IPOB did it. So if he likes let him go and get any video or audio recording he likes, if he cannot present any factual evidence, beyond hearsay and online gossip,

However, like said before, it is very very easy for Sheehan, if sued, to prove that Ipob is indeed a terrorist organisation.
All he has to do is site dictionary definition of Terrorism, and then replay just one of hundreds of Radio Biafra broadcasts by MNK or any of his minions to demonstrate in MNK's on lips, that IPOB fits 100% with the legal definition of terrorists. His star witness would of course be the Nigerian government, a legitimate government ( like them or not).

However, must importantly, a lawsuit is not a police action. It takes processes. In legal depositions, Ipob itself would come under the microscope. Much of their activities and finances would come under the microscope, all their skeletons and of their leadership would be publicly exposed. IPOB has much more to lose than the person they are purportedly suing.
It would just be one more own goal among dozens that Ipob dimwits score on a regular basis.

Zeezenho:
Let me lecture you on technicality of been peaceful.you defending yourself violently does not make you a violent person,because self defense is a right,not just a right but a fundamental one you get.

Ipob were always peaceful till they were attacked and killed in their numbers without remorse,they became defenceless and mocked even by you.
saying enough is enough and adoption of self defense is not a crime anywhere in the world except Nigeria.

Thank God the case is in America you will se the outcome just chill.
You are wrong on many fronts.
First of all, Ipob is not a legally constituted authority in any jurisdiction in Nigeria. Ipob started out as a legitimate protest movement, but today, it is similar to bokoharam in many ways. What makes Ipob more pernicious is that Ipob have turned their violent wrath on their own people, defenseless Igbos in their homeland. Even for a terrorist organisation, I cannot find anything more stupid.
IPOB’s claim to be defending Igbo interests is now hogwash. Ipob is nothing but a personal cult of MNK. MNK feeds the the mass illiterate and semiliterate followers trash, and they happily follow.
With MNK in chains now, we now know that Ipob had no structure, none at all. With contradicting voices, orders and counterorders, allegations of fraud, sabotage and mudslinging amongst the supposed leadership, it is obvious that Ipob is just another ponzi scheme using Biafra restoration as a selling point.

Bunch of fools daydreaming.

I can bet anything that this us FAKE news. IPOB has no basis to sue an academician for publicly expressing his opinions based on facts he provided.
First of all, as we can see from their recent mudslinging, IPOB has no money to pay a US lawyer for frivolous lawsuit, one that could drag on for a long time.
Secondly, if the writer is indeed sued for expressing his opinion, then his only DEFENSE would be to show that IPOB is indeed a terrorist organisation. That would be very very easy to prove. All he has to do is go to the archives of Radio Biafra broadcasts get all the video and audio right from the mouths of IPOB leaders themselves.
The lawsuit would publicly and officially expose so much about IPOB, the corruption of their leadership and conspiracies to commit acts of terrorism.
Therefore, if truly IPOB is sueing Sheehan( which I doubt) , then it's just another own goal that the dimwits of IPOB are about to score.

American Lawyer, Fein Drags Compatriot, Sheehan To Court For Asking US To Designate IPOB As Terrorist Group

It revealed that the American constitutional lawyer, Fein will also address the world on Wednesday on the matter.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKOCT 19, 2021

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says its American lawyer, Dr. Bruce Fein has filed a lawsuit against his compatriot, American scholar, Dr Ivan Sascha Sheehan following his call on the United States of American government to designate the group as a terrorist organisation.



Sheehan, who is the executive director of the school of public and international affairs at the University of Baltimore, in an opinion article published in The Washington Times on October 4, gave reasons why IPOB should be designated as a terrorist group by the United States.



The American don said, “Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB’s leader, is clearly unconcerned. That he feels no need to even disguise his support of terrorism is worrisome.

“Though IPOB’s principal aim is to restore a breakaway state of Biafra in the southeastern parts of Nigeria, Mr. Kanu’s rhetoric has become increasingly strident, ‘I don’t want peaceful actualization (of Biafra).’

“Mr. Kanu has said through his Radio Biafra channel, used to project threats, instructions, and propaganda into Nigeria from the safety of London, ‘If they don’t (give us Biafra), they will die.’


“Neither does Mr. Kanu make idle threats. The December revelation of IPOB’s 50,000 strong-armed paramilitary wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), complete with a Swastika-style flag, marked the end to all pretenses of being a peaceful movement.

“What had been largely unspoken was publicly declared. Since then, violent IPOB attacks on both security personnel and civilians have surged by a terrifying 59%; deaths by 344%.”


He also said tagging the secessionist group with a terror label would “hit IPOB’s wallet hard”, adding that if done, no organisation that uses the US currency would be able to conduct legal transactions with IPOB.

“As soon as the designation is applied, no organization that utilizes US currency would be able to legally conduct transactions with the organization. By cutting off IPOB’s funding, the U.S. would weaken the 50,000 strong paramilitary outfit, and provide Nigeria’s security forces room to train their sights squarely on ISIS-affiliated Boko Haram in the Northeast of the country.

“A terror designation would put a stop to this influence peddling. It would also mean the group could not use the US or its Western allies, like London-based Radio Biafra, to further their cause.

However, IPOB, through a statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, which was obtained by SaharaReporters on Tuesday reacted that Sheehan was paid to write against the Nnamdi Kanu-led group.

It revealed that the American constitutional lawyer, Fein will also address the world on Wednesday on the matter.

It titled the statement ‘Kanu's Lawyer To Address A World Press Conference On Wednesday The 20th Of October 2021 – IPOB.’

The statement read, “The global movement and family of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU, wishes to announce to the general public that our legal luminaries in the US, led by Dr. Bruce Fein, IPOB attorney in USA has taken the corrupt and compromised professor of Baltimore University, Dr. Ivan Sascha Sheehan in USA to court for writing falsehood and junk against the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB).

“The compromised Dr. Ivan was paid to write a false and malicious article against IPOB and its leader which was published by Washington Times invariably asking the US State Department to designate a peaceful Self Determination movement like IPOB as a terrorist organisation. The law of America will catch up with him for telling lies against a peaceful movement.

“Our legal team in America led by Bruce Fein has instituted a case against him in a competent US court. This paid agent will testify before the court why he accused IPOB wrongly and who paid him to do the hatchet job.

“We also wish to announce that the IPOB group of lawyers in the zoo led by Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, will address a world press conference in Abuja tomorrow, Wednesday, 20th October, 2021 between 10am and 11am in the morning. We, therefore, urge members of the public to watch out for the press conference where some burning issues surrounding our Leader's court appearance and the struggle generally will be addressed.”
What a crap.
What is Fein supposedly going to sue Sheehan for ? Defamation? Slander?

Are IPOB and their followers this stuupid?
Their propaganda doesn't even make sense anymore.

It is just beginning to dawn me that IPOB is just another con job.
