I wish you a very slow and painful death Mr. driver.

i expected the wife that was slapped , the battered Innosson staff, the innocent residence of his estate to come with very heavy law suits against EFCC.

All in the name of perpetuating fraud.

The choice to invite a citizen under investigation is discretionary, it is not a statutory practice. You cannot file lawsuit and win on basis that you are a known person and should be invited. That's sense of entitlement.

So you that you don't live with them you know, but you think he that lives with her every single day doesn't know. You better be careful before you turn your uncle into your worst enemy.

Serves you all right. Even if I was mad, I'd have rather not vote than vote for Buhari.

IamaNigerianGuy:
I have often heard this quoted and I have never seen the sense in it.

When Stalin murdered millions of his countrymen, Russians deserved him ? When Hitler led his country to destruction Germans deserved that ? Nigeria deserved Abacha ? South Africans deserved to be oppressed under apartheid ? Rwandans deserved their genocide (which was the choice of the elite? Ugandans deserved Idi Amin ? Cambodians were gifted Pol Pot by God ?
I think not.

Someone up there has mentioned that Nigerians have no concept of "the common good". They do and will work towards it, when the good is common. You cannot work toward a common good when you are hungry, or in concert with strangers. What connects the man from Ogun with Adamawa and why should he work with him ? It is the contraption that is faulty not the people.

Since you know a bit of political science let me remind you of another concept from that discipline State Capture. The subordination of the machinery and powers of government to elite interests. That is what is occurring in Nigeria
Do not deceive yourself that you pick your rulers. Elections in Nigeria are a farce. A forced choice from among pre-selected candidates. We pretend to vote and the elite pretend we have a choice. That is how we end up with Obasanjo's, Jonathan's, YarAduas and Buharis

Here is what really happened.
THE AKAGIDIGBO - UMOMI ISSUES AND THE ONGOING RECONSTRUCTION OF THE IDAH - UMOMI ROAD Yesterday, I made a post with pictorial evidence of how some villagers were packing the granites from the ongoing reconstruction of the Idah - Umomi road. I was suprised when I saw the strange happening involving some women, children and few adults men and women scampering for the granites specifically between Akagidigbo - Umomi axis of the road. When I stopped to make inquiries, they started running away except a young man that initially waited but on coming closer, he took off like others. It was while coming closer that I took the pictures using zoom effects. The immediate person that I contacted after the villagers were afraid to speak with me was Usman Ochidi who is the SA on Project Monitoring to the State Government. I promptly put a call and informed him of the development. I did not get feedback from him..... before I made the post yesterday (a day after) to draw the attention of the relevant authorities to that development. Just this afternoon, I received numerous calls from friends of how my pure intention was politically misrepresented for selfish and cheap blackmail by one Usman Okai Austin. I also received call from Usman Ochidi, the said SA Project Monitoring whom I had earlier contacted. The feedback from Hon. Usman this afternoon necessitated this post. He told me how he made further inquiries with the relevant authorities since he had earlier told me that he does not know why and on whose authorities the villagers were packing the granites. Mr Ochidi informed me that, just as he told me earlier that he was not aware of the development, my call also prompted him to contact the Chairman of the Company who also told him earlier that he was not aware of the development. Hon. Usman added that he also made further calls to the Administrator of Ofu LGA that day for him to investigate the reported case but the call was neither answered nor returned. That it was because he had no tangible information on the reported case that he did not get back to me before I made the post. He furthered informed me that it was after my post and the accompanying attention it generated that the Contractor only came out to claim responsibility for the instruction to the villagers. This mix up, though the post has achieved multiple unintended objectives beyond the unfortunate misrepresention of the action of the villagers, I AM SORRY and take full responsibility for that. Certainly, I cannot stereotype a community let alone the entire LGA as been mispresented. We are great people just as we should also be bold enough to point out errors correctly. Had it been that, Hon. Usman Ochidi got appropriate prompt response from those he contacted after I reported to him and i also got feedback from him, I shouldn't have made the post. Clearly, my intention is pure even as it unfortunately hurt some people. This is because of the fact that the Idah - Umomi road in question has been left abandoned for the past 13 years with numerous empty political promises as response to our hue and cry to that pivotal road to the traditional headquarters of Igala land. Beyond this, I have once again refrained myself from joining issues with Usman Okai Austin for the obvious reason that the eyes that knoweth someone in the night and come out in the day time to deny that person is an irresponsible one. I think those that are trying to ethnicise the issue and or making political meaning from the post should "traficate and park well.....". Even as I have serious issues with the action of the Contractor as it relates to the expected qualities of their work, I humbly reserve my comments for the sake of the members of the communities that were unfortunately misrepresented in the earlier post. Finally, those that shared the earlier post for political and or ethnic motives should also be bold enough to share this to balance the reported incidents accordingly





AND WHY IS NAIRALAND BLOCKING THIS USEFULL information?

RCDIY:
You're just busy showing yourself. There are a lot things wrong with this country. You've pointed some of them out. But folks like you are also part of the issues. Your attitude does no good to anyone or anything.

ruggedised:

They are learning from their leaders which is not bad if you ask me

IamaNigerianGuy:
You dey your house dey talk. Pontificating and self righteous.

Do you see the hunger and depression in the eyes of those children ? Do they look like they eat 2 meals a day ?
In a country where a road project can go on for decades eg Lagos-Ibadan, East -West road, you expect people to have patience and forbearance while fat cats in business and government skim off their share now ?
Stop blaming the victims. Nigeria is a near failed state and the citizenry is not to blame

Bad people creates bad leaders.

Okoroawusa brought something commendable for them. Tho. it's mostly GMOs (genetically modified) stuffs they sell there.

Adminisher:
The fact that having a Father who is Hausa and a Mother who is IBO is a CRIME to you guys is the reason your tribe will never produce a President in Nigeria

Please mark these words. You have cursed yourselves with those words. Progress is impossible for your people for entertaining these satanic attitude in 2017.

There is ZERO hope. ZERO happiness and fulfilment with this self fulfilling prophecy on your people.

Hausa Dad and Ibo man is a crime to you guys?.
You are DEAD already , only you don't know it. No wonder you fail at everything.

So you guys chose your parents?. You told God you wanted to black, African and Nigerian?. What choice does any of us have in circumstances of birth?. Is it not God?.

You guys are FINISHED!!!. We now know the problem of Nigeria and who will
always get the rough end of the stick.

muykem:
