Terrorist Kanu can you see your life?
Nigeria Government should put bounty on his head and let his fellow Ipork yuuut drag him out under his bed.

Sarrki, Kanu is Bastard Shekau twicy

Only morons at BMC or BMG would believe that crap.

Nigeria sickens me.

Yes, any family , especially parents , that suffer the loss of a young child deserves all our sympathies and prayers.

But for goodness sake, this young man was neither hero nor a role model for any young person.
His death appears to be a clear case of death by misadventure .
He was apparently supposed to be in school , getting an education.

His parents in particular, and the general public, rather than this perverse public celebration of his death, ought to be a time of humble and sober reflection on values and attitudes of the current generation of young people.

Shockingly, no one is talking about the cause death and asking serious questions.

Was it drugs, perhaps the first public victims of Fentinyl, the deadly narcotic ravaging America and Europe ?

Was it a case, perhaps, of carbon monoxide poisoning ?

Or was it a case of foul play ?

Ha ha ha.
They say when you fight corruption, corruption fights back.
Here we have A very CORRUPTION Government, Sorry I mean CORRUPT Government, fighting back.

Truthbtold1:
Ur people have been in fore-front of governance in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th republic. Go and educate urself and and please advise the young ones to stop "running out of school" so that they won't end up like you. I'm done with u.

" Ur people ".
By the use of that phrase, have you not just made the case that a united one Nigeria doesn't exist and is improbable ? .

Truthbtold1:
"English is just a language n not a form of intelligence" - truthbtold

'Normal' is a scalar product.. What is normal in Nigeria, might not be normal in America.
Now 'normal' would have been the school, through the authorities, rejecting the medical care offered by the military but again your 'normal' is advocating wild spread ignorance on the guise of showing "distrust" in governance and government?
Bros u no jst get sense, you're foolishly foolish.

You think it is ignorant for a people , especially a people deliberately marginalized since 1970, a people presently under military occupation in a democratic Government, to view the government and government agents as enemies ?

Who is the real ignorant person here ?

Truthbtold1:
Gross incompetence, sheer greediness, laxity in intellectual acquisition, no patience in daily dealing, high-class gullibility...these people need more than vaccination.

They need Jesus!

Someone needs to shut their stuuupid mouth.

To any sensible observer ( which you are obviously not), this incidence, once again demonstrates the level of distrust the people have for the federal government, especially the federal army.



This kind of incident , in any normal place, would jolt and embarrass the leaders as well as question the mandate upon which they wield their powers.

But of course, when obtuse minds like yours chose the cheapest and the least intellectually challenging option of mockery, then you thereby validate the Zoo mentality that is Nigeria's biggest problem.

9jakohai:
You did not read my final point sir.

Anyway, my main issue was to explain why we take loans....so that we can have a view of the problem, and the solution becomes much easier.

And it is immature to insult people you disagree with. I did not insult you, yet you decided to insult me. Make your point maturedly .

Good evening.

There is nothing to agree or disagree with in your post.
It didn't qualify at all for any of the above.

My knee- jerk reaction was for the sheer shallowness and warped logic.
In fact, my response was like an automatic self- defense reaction to someone trying to assault my common sense.

Nne5:
President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughter, Zahra, has explained why her father may not be aware of the deteriorating state of the Aso Villa clinic.

Just yesterday, Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari ”flamed” up over the state of the hospital which according to her is shameful.

But before then, Zahra had on September 29th called out the permanent secretary of the state house over the poor condition of the hospital.

Zahra asked why the hospital lacked basic items such as a syringe even when it has a N3. 2 billion budgetary allocations.

After she called out the Permanent Secretary, Nigerians reacted in different ways; while some applauded her for speaking out, others asked her to go and seek answers from her father.

After her mother’s speech yesterday, Zahra took to her Instagram page to reply some of the question posted by Nigerians.

The President’s daughter wrote, “I was insulted a lot about the hospital thing and I have to tell you that I laughed at a lot of them and was really sad at a lot of them because it really made me understand that a lot of Nigerians are not as educated as I thought.

“Many people were saying that I should ask my father, I should tell him. The thing is that many people are appointed at different stages and they make sure that whatever they are in charge of works out well and they monitor properly.

“So, the president can’t be at every point. He can’t be monitoring everyone’s post. It is impossible. It is literally impossible. So there are some things happening now to help with the state house hospital.”

Duuuhhhh!!!

We know.

In fact, we also know that he is not aware of anything.

9jakohai:
Why are we taking all these loans anyway

[b] Between April 2014 (when oil prices started falling) and April 2016, we lost $100 billion in potential earnings.

Let me repeat myself....we lost $100 billion in potential earnings ,because oil dropped from $120 to $29 in two years.

2.Because of the fall in oil price, we had to restrict dollar spending (or by now, we would be paying N2000 for $1). That led to more dollar flight out of the country and as a result....loss in earnings.

3.Nigeria needs oil to be at $123 to meet basic needs. (Oil is at $50 now). Saudi Arabia needs oil at $77, and Russia needs it at $99. I

4.As a result we need to take loans to keep things running., Without the loans...we would be in even deeper problems. Like...salaries won't have been paid for a year or something.

5.There is only one way out of this in the short term....oil goes above $123 per barrel...AND EVEN THEN...we have to pay back the loans we took in the past.

6.If you want a permanent long term solution...this means taking loans to fix power and education...and removing subsidies...which means us paying N200 for one liter of fuel and N30000 per month in light bills. We will suffer more than this for some years. But once we become an exporting manufacutred goods nation as a result...then we can really enjoy the fruits of our labour.[/b]

Just imagine this Stuuupid stuuupid stuuupid logic.

So if oil doesn't ever sell for $123 a barrel again , then no more economy, No more country?

Stuuupid people get stuuupid leaders.

By the way, how much do you get paid to write stuuupid shit like this ?

By the end of this disasterous regime, Nigerians would , regretfully, realize that Buhari is the biggest fraud in Nigerian political history.

Ha ha ha.

Oh Gosh!

Fire in Bullshyte mountain.

soberdrunk:
I understand they are in pain and just lost a loved one but i find it very awkward that they are blaming Davido a '24 years old' "boy" for a "35 years old" 'man's' death. Why will a 35 years old man be referred to as 'friend' to a 24 years old, in where i am from he wont even be able to call him by name......

I fail to see how your post makes any sense at all.
In fact, your reasoning is silly and annoying.

A person is dead under suspicious circumstances .
The deceased supposedly died in the company of friends that included Davido.
The family, the public and law enforcement people need know the circumstances that led to this man's death. And that should include getting cooperation and truthful facts from the people that were last seen with deceased, including Davido.

We hear that Davido organized a drinking competition that the deceased participated in.
Was it the drinks?
Was it drugs?
Or a combination of both?
Did the deceased have any prior health issues that might caused his death?

In any civilized society, Davido and the rest of the people would have been thoroughly questioned by law enforcement agents,.and if the drinks were responsible for his death, then Davido, the organizer of the drinking competition, might be criminally liable, and certainly responsible in civil litigation.

You're talking this trash because you know that you live in a fxxing Zoo, sorry, jungle, where all accumulated tenets of human morality, decency and justice are non-existent.

Maybe we should have Voted God for President instead of this fxxing dumb person.

BounceNigeria:
The can of worms have been opened and the stench is ugly.

Earlier in the day, news broke that a letter, which the Minister of State for Petroleum, and Chairman Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) board wrote to President Buhari over the state of affairs in the NNPC, had leaked into public domain.

In the letter, Kachikwu detailed instances of corruption and insubordination channeled by NNPC's Group Managing Director (GMD), Dr Maikanti Baru.

Here are 5 damaging things Kachikwu's letter revealed.

1. Kachikwu hasn't seen President Buhari since he got back from London: According to Kachikwu, despite repeated attempts to see President Buhari, the two Petroleum ministers have not had a one-on-one meeting since Buhari got back from his extended sick leave in the United Kingdom. Said Kachikwu:

"I would have wanted to come personally after receiving you at the airport to felicitate with you and discuss matters herein contained, however I have been unable to secure an appointment to see you despite very many attempts."

2. Appointments have been made in NNPC without proper consultation: Under normal circumstances, every major appointment made in the NNPC should be subject to approval by the board. But this hasn't been the case. Kachikwu in his letter said that he finds out about appointments and re-postings in the NNPC the same time as every other Nigerian - on the pages of newspapers and on social media, despite being the boss at NNPC.

He further said this has been the case since Dr Baru resumed as NNPC GMD. Wrote Kachikwu:

"Indeed in anticipation of vacancies that would arise from retiring senior executives of NNPC, I wrote the GMD a letter requesting that we both have prior review of the proposed amendments. This was to enable me present same to the Board or give an anticipatory approval and then review with the Board later (Appendix 1). I wrote to the GMD given previous happenstances of this nature. In addition, thereafter, I called the GMD to a private meeting where I discussed these issues. Needless to say that, not only did he not give my letter the courtesy of a reply, he proceeded to announce the appointments without consultation or Board concurrence."

3. Over $25 billion worth of contracts have been awarded without following due process: According to Kachikwu, in the over one year Dr Baru has served as NNPC GMD, no contract has been run through the board. This is in spite of the fact that the legal and procedural requirement of contract awarding is that contracts worth over $20 million would need to be reviewed and approved by the Board of NNPC.

Kachikwu went on to list a number of contracts totaling $25 billion which were awarded by the NNPC Tenders Board which GMD, Dr Baru heads that flouted the $20 million mark.

The contracts include:

- The Crude Term contracts - value at over $10 billion

- The DSDP contracts - value at over $5bn

- The AKK pipeline contract - value approximately $3bn

- Various finacing allocation funding contracts with the NOCs - value over $3bn

- Various NPDC production service contracts - value at over $3bn -$4bn



4. GMD attends meetings at will: Collaborative meetings are important in every organisation to chart a course, and the NNPC is no different. It is to this end that Kachikwu, in his letter, said he instituted Monthly Parastatal meetings with Heads of Agencies, and another with the Senior Management in all Parastatals.

However, Kachikwu said the GMD objected to his senior staff attending the Joint Senior Management meetings on the ground that "this was over reaching his territory".

Kachikwu went on to say that Baru barely attends the monthly Heads of Agencies meetings, and in other cases, sends "subordinates without the courtesy of a call to explain his absence". He also added that since 2017, he has only had about 4 or 5 one-on-one meetings with Baru.

5. Fear culture in NNPC: According to Kachikwu, "the effect of the attitude of the GMD and the sidelining of the Board is that there is a fear culture in NNPC".

He went on to say that the open administration which he introduced with President Buhari's support has been eroded and that "NNPC staff are afraid of contacting me to avoid being punished, sidelined in appointments and targeted."

Who is surprised by all these revelations ?
This is how typical Northerners perceive and rule Nigeria..as they want, with great disdain for due process or Democratic norms.

themonk:
So Martin Luther king and Malcom X waited for the white man to amend the constitution before protesting, even Nelson Mandela waited for his white countrymen to amend the constitution to fit him before protesting? Mr man one thing with irrationality is that just like religion, you have to take a stand first then find every logic to back that stand. Instead of using logic to evaluate which stand to take.

I'm not a fan of IPOB modus operandi and I have not identified with them but deep inside I know that theit general objective is right, forget all the hate speech and everything. Every faction of this country should have the right to protest for self determination whether the constitution supports it or not. It should be a fundamental human right.

Since you have taken a stand first, and then you have used all form of irrationality to try to prove your stand, you no longer see the clarity of pure logic. Myndd44 which freedom fighter should seek the support of the constitution before protesting or seeking for self determination? Does it even make sense to you? If the constitution was sufficient would we need freedom fighters. Let me make it clear to you that any constitution that seeks to suppress protests and fundamental human rights needs to be revoked. Mynd44 please reason!

Seun come and see your mod and how he reasons. You need to carry out rationality tests before making someone a mod.

Don't mind him.
Can you just imagine the sheer shallowness of the mind that made such a post ?.
Nigeria, na wa o

Omoluabi16:
It is funny, yet puzzling. why does the IPOB has so much faith in donald trump, the UN and foreign leaders? The same people who said trump has given them a referendum date are now clinging to 'canadian politicians'

Again, only a product of a failed educational system in failed state would make such thoughtless comments.
What century are you people living in ?

In this modern era, the United Nations establishes and all civilized nations concur that human rights, the rule of law and the right of self-determination are the inalienable rights of all peoples.
It has been shown over and over again that Tyrants and megalomaniacs can no longer get away with war crimes, genocides and crimes against humanity.
Justice for one is justice for all, including yours.
If you deny one person justice in Nigerian or mock those who seek justice, you deny yourself, your friends, your family justice. Only fools do not make the connection.

So, mock all you like.
I assure you, that one day, you or someone you know or family member, will yearn and cry out for same justice.

Mynd44:
It is not "Turkish diplomat" again. Now Canadian Politician.

Your protests will get nowhere unless the constitution is amended. People have been yelling it, the president has said it yet these folks dont listen

This is a very thoughtless comment.

Has this poster, for example , ever heard of the Boston Tea Party ?

Does this poster even understand what a protest is ?

Gosh !! Nigerians are very very shallow thinkers.

Very very disappointing.

I predicted it.

shortgun:
This is worse than corruption..... very soon we will start buying a loaf of bread for N5,000 if Buhari is allowed to continue after 2019.

That's what happens when you put a herdsman as president.

It is simply amazing, laughable, but not shocking, because I kinda predicted it.

Future students of economics all over the world will use this as a case study , and marvel at the sheer stupidity of deliberately throwing a nuclear bomb at your economy.

Joel3:
it keep on weakening me each time people talk about fighting for the unity of this country, is this the country they fought to keep us in?


is this what they want for us? it's very clear these people don't meant well for the generality of us all but their pockets and benefits.

Yeah.
Isn't it very funny?
The most unpatriotic class of people , the people that sell Nigeria short for plates of porridge and personal ambitions, are the ones supposedly championing the so-called unity .

Unity based on what common interests, what common ideals ?

Of course, it is like a Tapeworm advocating unity between it and it's victim.
Without the unity, for how else could the tapeworm survive ?

felixomor:
You have admitted your folly but u are still blind to it.

Let me tell you the folly.
Evolution of IBM, Mercedes or Computers is not the same as evolution by natural selection postulated by Darwin.

Lawd have mercy !!
Are you really that ignorant ?

The reason I ask is that it takes an incredible level of IGNORANCE to write stuff like that without a tiny part of your brain pinching you.

And then I am expected to discuss or argue the theory of evolution with you ?

No thanks.
I will pass.

DoctorAlien:
[s][/s]

How does the intelligent design of the IBM Computer demonstrate evolution which claims to be propelled by blind, unintelligent forces of nature in no particular direction?

Just keep thinking deeper my good friend, beyond the surface.
The answers stare you in face.

felixomor:
Sorry, you are not qualified to give anything.
Your reasoning is below the barest minimum required here.

You're probably right.

Coming to the Religion section to argue evolution with Religious nuts is folly. I admit.

We are not on the same plane.
Your reference to the IBM computer, still without realizing the irony, says it all about the shallowness of the thinking.

felixomor:
Hmmm, i feel you

Yeah the IBM computer evolved from biro and paper.
Some wind blew the biro and it started to write on the paper and after sometime, the paper became molten iron and it became a factory according to the forces of physics...

Yeah yeah
Ediorts

Lol.
I give you E for effort.

Try harder.

DoctorAlien:
How does IBM computer, which was intelligently thought out, and consciously assembled by an intelligent Designer demonstrate evolution which claims that systems a billion times more complex and balanced than the IBM Computer came out of the chance occurrence of impossible events?

This post above, for anyone who understands the theory of evolution, is actually a good argument FOR the theory of evolution.
What an irony.

Think deeply.
You're thinking in very shallow, very unscientific terms.
And this is the reason understanding the theory of evolution is difficult, if not impossible for you folks.

The point is that cognitive dissonance , which by the way, is a real psychological phenomenon, would not allow you to even try to understand the basic ideas about evolution.

It baffles me why you guys commit this incredible folly of trying to argue against something for which you lack the basic understanding.
It really baffles me.

Let's be honest here.
You're here to preach and promote your skydaddy, not to discuss or possibly learn anything new about the theory of evolution.
If you really wanted to learn, everything you need to learn about the theory of evolution is in the public domain.

felixomor:
A fool sees an IBM computer,
He acknowledges The maker of the computer

The same fool sees a human being which is a billion times more complex than the computer, he assumes the human is a product of random accident.

Nice one, Op.
Not a chance.

And this is how fools reason.
They skip many critical thoughts, and arrive at foolishness.

Now to the subject.

Actually an IBM computer is a simple example of the process of evolution.

I challenge you, if you're smart enough, to think deeply about the IBM Computer and how it demonstrates the processes of evolution.

Throwback:
A truth teller whose authority, leadership and truth is not recognised by the constitution..

Lawd have mercy

Truth tellers must be recognized by the Constitution ?

Only a really really DUMB person could have made this statement.

Throwback:
I repeat, it is better to have them groaning than for terrorists and enemies of the state to be gloating.

If you want anything in a democracy, you know the democratic path to follow in order to make your hitherto unlawful demands become lawful and constitutional demands.

But that was too civil and too involved a process for a terrorist dictator to follow. How would a man that relishes the worship of his fellow men kissing his feet like Saddam Hussein whose armpits were kissed in dictatorial worship, stoop so low to conform to global democratic norms of constitutional leadership and political compromise.

Funny the same terrorist and dictator who had no good words for anyone with a contrary opinion, most especially those who even possess the constitutional power, authority and representation of the people he wanted to usurp their franchise, was always quick to mention UN conventions as though he was civil enough to comprehend its finer details.

Again, a minimum education would have afforded you the meaning of terrorist.
In this your upside down Zoo, a truth teller is the terrorist.
Continue in your delusions.
But when someone tells you that you live in a zoo, you get upset.

Throwback:
I wonder what a sane mind would think listening to Kanu's radio broadcasts and watching his videos while supposedly on bail?

Whatever it takes to put down a rabid dog is very much welcomed.

I reckon his supporters who were indoctrinated with suicidal stupidity to challenge an army that was on about its lawful duty that was already broadcasted to all and sundry, perished for a stupidity that slick Kanu invited, commanded and goaded them to.

While he was running away, his stupid zombies were chattering buses and heading to the same death that Kanu was fleeing from while calling on his zombies to come and waste their own lives.

Those who got halted on the way and trained how to swim in the mud in a bid to w

Shaking my head as I read this kindergarten babble.

What a country, populated with happy, stuuupid slaves and serfs.

Let me say it again my little dumb dumb friend:
A Dead freedom fighter is better than a happy slave.
And,
"Mockery Is The Homage The Coward Pays To The Brave".

Throwback:
The OP is asking the question based on a vow Kanu made just a week before he fled. Nobody is asking you to evaluate if coming to Nigeria was a brave move or not?

Besides you all claim he was setting a trap for the government by coming to Nigeria.

He made threats and vowed to destroy the zoo army and bring back Buhari's head, but one week later Ohamadike was on the run creating new world records in sprints.

So you expect the army to go unarmed against a maniac and his mob? You expect the army to run away when the IPOB terrorists attacked with stones and sticks and petrol bombs?

And you and others like you would have come online to gloat that you chased away the zoo army from your territory? You would have boasted that your illegal IPOB defeated an army on lawful national duty.

It is better you are seen groaning than gloating.

" Mockery Is The Homage The Coward Pays To The Brave"

Unfortunately, most of you are not trained to think beyond the surface, a rather great disappointment I find among Nigerians.

You're all like surface dwelling cretins too afraid to think beyond what is on the surface.
Nnamdi Kanu never boasted of a military defeat against the Nigerian Army. Only kindergarten kids like you understood his statements in that way.

And only really stuuupid adults would mock Nnamdi Kanu , an unarmed civilian rabble Rouser , for not physically confronting an armed battalion of soldiers sorounding his home.

Foreigners who read posts like yours would ask if most Nigerian adults were really that stuuupid .

Let it be said again:
" Mockery is The Homage The Coward Pays To The Brave".

That A man armed with only a microphone can put fear, and shake up a system is a monumental feat of bravery that the people who dot Nairaland may never find in their own genealogy in a thousand years.

Nnamdi Kanu's name has already earned immortality in the annals of history.

The serious chorus of " Restructuring" we hear reverberating in every corner of Nigeria is evidence of his victory.

Nigeria will never be the same.

IamPatriotic:
Why does these always have this ignoble habit of blaming everyone but themselves for their predicament, today Abati is the culprit because he bares his mind on an issue of national security.
Tomorrow, it could be Femi Fani Kayode or Ayo Fayose.

Did you say "their predicament" ?
What exactly is your own predicament ?
What is the predicament of your own people, whoever or whatever they are ?


Is it the failure of the educational system that makes most Nigerians to think so shallow and unable to think beyond the periphery ?

Lets Play a game with the word " predicament ".

What is the current predicament of Nigeria's democracy , Human rights and the rule of law ?
What is the current predicament of the Nigerian economy ? Realistically, Do we still have an economy ?

What is the current predicament of the Northeast and the people of the Northeast , devastated by Boko Haram terrorists many years now , an murderous outfit once publicly defended by non other than Buhari and Lai Mohammed in the not too distant past ?

What is the current predicament of the people and many communities of Benue and Plateau States, genocided every forthnight by armed Fulani herdsmen ?
What is the predicament of " Justice " for all those murdered so far in Benue State, for example ?

Next time, before you use the words " their predicament" , think carefully and deeper,.. because their predicament is also your predicament.
The tragic drama being played out in the Southeast is a microcosm of the Tragedy of Nigeria, your tragedy, your predicament.

Keep deluding yourself that it is 'their predicament'.
