Good, articulate Judge. Stupid Nigerian law enforcement agents go about arresting indiscriminately.

EmeeNaka:
when Obiano began to administer Anambra state, I know he will be fraudulent. He quickly started marking roads across the state,especially the bad ones. He started the useless zero potholes instead of total reconstruction. Obiano went on to introduce 20m Naira/community projects, a very senseless project plan. what will any community, that need 3billion to develop, do with 20m? Obiano is a great problem to Anambra state. He has borrowed plenty money and has put the state in enormous debt. Obiano has used enormous propaganda in his government, from Ugu exportation to yam to rice to many MoU that has not manifested. Obiano is a fraud but in the spirit of zoning, I will still support him so he can complete the remaining four years of Anambra north and handover to Anambra South.

You are a part of the problem. So you believe Obiano has failed but you will still vote him, in the spirit of zoning.

Too long. OBi & Obi-ano. All na thief

Kindly remove Obi from the list of thieves. He's a proven man of integrity.

Every summer when students go on summer break (june-sept), big work begins for facilities management in every colleges here. Holes on the wall are filled, sand papered and repainted. Every rooms in the dorm are painted. Every classroom, road, sewer, dinning, cafeteria, building redone. You come back to a brand new school and dorm room...they are colleges from 17th/18th century.

Exactly. And it also provides summer job opportunities for students since students are recruited to do those jobs for a decent salary. Some schools even provide free summer accommodation and feeding in addition to the decent salary. It was a great help for me.

pp802:
The worse here is that even students that litter dirts in their hostel in other universities or polytechnics, will come here and be forming and saying "students are dirty"!......change begins with you!

I was once a university student and I am proud to say, I was one of those that do keep the environment clean.

I'm not typing this cos I'm here, but its the truth......believe or not!

This one no be govt fault, but students and school authority!

It's mostly government fault( in this case, school administration) actually. They probably lack a functional waste disposal system. And I would be surprised if they have pipe borne water.

Benekruku:
In a sane society, that school should have been converted to a cattle ranch. It's not habitable for humans without mentioning a learning environment.

They should merge the incumbent students with universities across Nigeria and make modernise facility to become a cattle ranch with abattoirs within

This filthy dormitory is not unique to OAU. It's the same filthy condition in most public universities in Nigeria. And it's also a reflection of the filthy Nigerian environment.

ironheart:
Misplaced priority, they lack basic knowledge, there core job is not to check license, they are meant to prevent accident.

Stop vehicles that are heavily over loaded

Make sure drivers are using there seat belts

Arrest drivers who flout road rules

I wish they would also start impounding all those vehicles billowing out smoke.

I am surprised to know that there are active bank accounts out there without BVN attached to them. Those accounts should have been frozen or closed by now.

The article is just filled with praises,& ended up not telling us "How He became a billionaire @33". He's into real estate, where did he get his capital from Drugs? Banks? Fraud?

Don't mind them. I was also reading to see how he made it. I guess his billions fell from the sky.
Most wealthy people in Nigeria acquire their wealth through outright crime or fronting for political or military leaders. We don't really have much of real business men or women.

You should not accept such condition. It doesn't seem right.

Sigh

I am going to just make my observations on this Fulani herdsmen crisis, and then I will keep quiet.

First, the reason why we have all these issues is that Nigerians don’t believe in our Police. If a Fulani herdsman is attacked, he does not report to the Police. He goes to his comrades, who then launch a revenge attack. Likewise , if a farmer gets attacked, he does not go to the police, it is to his fellows, who then launch a reporisal attack, and then we keep on having attack after attack.

Second, I am sorry, but I don’t believe that the farmers are inncoent in this matter. It does not mean that I agree that the Fulanis are justifed in taking the law into their hands (see my above point), but I believe strongly that the farmers are attacking Fulanis and molesting their cows too. And the reason why we don’t hear about this in the media is because the media , like many of my fellow southerners and Christians is interested in an agenda...that thuggish muslims are attacking innocent Christians. Well...when the same innocent christians join the thug muslims in dancing to the same violence is the answer tune, the same media keeps quiet, while people sit down and justify such attacks with terms as ‘the Fulanis have it coming to them’

Indeed, there are people, including HURIWA with this their call for the govt to crush the Fulani. What exactly do they mean? DO they want the Army to start moving into Fulani settlements to kill and destroy, as if we are back in Kenya in the 1950’s when the British did the same to hundreds of innocent Kenyans? Don’t they get it that would only make a bad situation worse. IN 1999, the Army crushed Odi., ten years later there were millitant groups up and down. And in 2009, hundereds of inncoent North Easterners were killed by the Army in the name of Boko Haram, and that made things worse...until corrections were made in strategy by the last govt, and this one. And now, it seems that the same people who rightly condemm the army for forcing innocent Igbos into the muddy river to swim, are now backing measures that at best would lead to anarchy beyond what can be controlled.

Finally, what angers me is that people are not calling on their local govt chairman, their governors, their tribal leaders, etc to sit down and discuss solutions. I mean, once upon a time , Fulanis and farmers did not fight like this. What is provoking the fighting is increase in populaiton. IN 1963, we were less than 60million, now we are 160million. And a large chunk of that populaiton lives in the rural area...and Nigeria has not icnreased in land mass since 1963...and we even lost Bakassi in 2006. I would have expected government and the herdsmen and farmers to develop solutions that would help salvage the situation, and let everyone leave in peace. But , no Nigerians….are interested in playing Tutsis and Hutus. Well, last time that happened 800000 people died. Deaths that were conpletely unecessary….but are happening because Nigerians are not interested in solutins...they want to behave like their acnestors did back in the 17th century. Well...that kind of behaviour is why we got colonised in the first place, and we would have still been a colony if we did not put aside our differences, even for a brief moment to fight for independence.

SO, what am I saying. I just want Nigerians to stop this tale of innocent farmers and brutal thug cattle rearers. Because such talk is going to blow us to another Somalia. Instead...let us start thinking about serious solutions. And no...we don’t need to waste money we don’t have on another confrence. We need to think, and to think and to act with some wisdom.

IN short...we need to get matured.

(Anyone who insults me would be reported to the mods. If you are still sore over the last election, so am I. I am angry that we did not get a new direction for we coutntry., And anyone calling me a Muslim should know that I am a Christian, and I have seen violence , the worst as far back as the 80’s. But I also know that doing the same thing over and over again does not work. We need solutions now)

And all those commenter saying let us finish the Fulani....i say to them...Go ahead....jsut don't come back after fighting another chronic 20 year tribal war that you caused.Same goes for any Fulani justifying attacks on farmers.

I hope you keep to your promise to keep quiet because you are coming across as naive.

Tamass:
Stop hate towards each other..shum tribal sentiments and racism..we are all human beings and i can assure you that is one of our major setbacks

You should direct your exhortation to your President Buhari who has openly shown himself to be a tribalist.

Good. This is the way to go with the barbarians we have here in Nigeria. International legal way.

This is where you need the Nigerian Army to act to protect Nigeria's territorial integrity. But the irresponsible and tribalistic Buhari and his brother Buratai have sent them to go and be doing python dance and crocodile smile.
The Cameroonian gendarmes keep encroaching into Nigerian territory to kill Nigerians but our soldiers are busy displaying their gallantry on unarmed civilians. It's a shame.

That is the more reason you Northerners should join other well meaning Nigerians in the agitation for restructuring of the country to allow for progress of every part of the country.
Having the President come from your part of the country only gives you symbolic and psychological advantage. It only benefits just a handful of the elite that will get political appointments. In a country of 180million, there are not enough government appointments to go round even for a tribalist like Buhari that is giving most of the appointments to his Fulani brothers and sisters.
An Igbo has not been President since 1970 and yet command the highest income per capita in the country.
Let us all support restructuring instead of scheming for our ethnic group to produce the President.

The Nigerian Army has no positive impact on the local populace as claimed by their spokesman. Rather, they are a terror to the local populace. Please take your so called medical outreach out of the Southeast.

The Oni is a bridge builder, making friends across the country. Good man. Tribalist Buhari should learn from him.

Well said Chief Olu Falae. Only an unpatriotic person that doesn't wish Nigeria well would be against restructuring.
If it is only the Northwest that is against restructuring because of the advantage they enjoy under the present system, then the rest of us can overcome their opposition if we work together.

HITTED:
This is not acceptable. The vaccination is to immunize the kids against diseases and viruses, not to kill them.

It's a pity some people have been brainwashed to believe the NA are nothing but monsters in uniforms.

All blames go to Anambra people and the Liepods. They're enemies of the state and must be dealt with.

Sai baba is working hard to fix the Nigeria that PDP destroyed but some elements are kicking against his efforts.

We must prevail.

God bless Buhari!

God bless Nigeria!

Sai baba!!!

Have you and your family been injected yet?

Unscrupulous Nigerians. I didn't read where El-Rufai's statement was referring to the Southeast.

Liars. How come Buhari's soldiers didn't find them when they raided? And did Kanu's family members observe the search?

meforyou1:
that's not d question. The question is - how can u say a body that has the power to discipline and to promote, doesn't have d power to demote?

I don't understand that NPF logic. They admit the PSC have the power to discipline and then claim they don't have the power to demote.

Buhari is not only surrounded by corrupt people; he is also very corrupt. Those corrupt officials were picked by him and he defends them when they are accused. He is good at painting the image of a man of integrity.

Nigerians are very gullible. It's clear that Buhari is as corrupt as any of the past leaders. But he presents himself as a man of integrity to deceive gullible Nigerians.
People get the leadership they deserve.

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!

Are you alright at all? You expect people to go participate in a so called medical outreach that was never announced in advance? Anambra State does not need medical outreach from tribalist Buhari's Army.

Just curious why Buhari's Army would be offering 'free medical service in Anambra'. I hope the people stay away. What we need is for the tribalist to stop discriminating against the Igbos. He can shove his medical outreach.

He cheated on you with your best friend and you still love him and plan to marry him. Then why are you disturbing us here?

Even if the report is not true, why would the Nigerian Army or the Federal Government be offering free medical services in the South East that they hate so much. It does not make sense. I would advice people to stay away from such Greek gift. South East does not need any free medical services from the Fed Government.
What we need is for the institutionalized discrimination to stop.
Buhari can shove his Greek gift under his tribalistic a**.

Arsenalholic:
Op sha, you sef no try...

You just handpicked the bad comments first and padded it with a few good comments. I was on the website yesterday and there were lotsa matured Zambians who commended the Eagles and admitted that the best team won.

But someone made a statement that rang true: He said Nigerians are fond of tongue lashing other African countries in an arrogant way. The guy even mentioned Nairaland. That's the reason he was dishing back all of that.

I remembered clearly when we last visited Zambia and a report of how the citizens were happy to see Obi and co, someone here on Nairaland said something so appalling about Zambia girls.

Point is, let us learn to respect other African countries. Because they are trying.to dish back to us what 'we' dish to them... And there are a lot of loopholes to attack Naija from.

Is it possible for Nigerians to respect other African countries when Nigerians cannot respect themselves? Nigerians are generally rude, arrogant, uncouth and hateful. You cannot give what you don't have.

Mrkumareze:
Op. We 're having same experience. Mine even borrowed some cash from me to support her husband during the traditional, promised to pay back . Now she's asking for money again when she haven't paid d previous one.
For me, I can be of help if I notice she has enough reason to beg. Afteral she's married does not mean we are enemies. You just have to delete that old thought of friendship and see her as your casual friend.

You are a good man. I don't see anything wrong in helping an ex in need, married or not.

Well, it's not just the youths. Most Nigerians who claim to be Christians are not Christians. They go to Church in order to fit in and not be perceived as bad people by society. But if you engage in business transactions with them, they would not have any qualms reaping you off.
Monday to Saturday they play music with grouchy sexy lyrics; Sunday morning the same person plays gospel music. I think most Nigerians are still traditionalists when it comes to religion. That is why the average Nigerian is very superstitious, and very unreliable. I don't see any Christians around me.

Wisedove:
I still don't know the reason why this guy is been taking to church For what exactly ? Do you think you can just out the mind of a determined hustler out of his hustle all in the name of religion?

Nonsense of the highest order, they are even displaying themselves on social media not knowing they are putting their life at stake.

Another uZobulu attack in the making.

They are naive. Drug dealers usually don't care about others except their fellow drug dealers. The guy will still repeat the crime, probably changing his strategy.
