This is what I consumed in 4hrs 42 Mins .....Thanks to Airtel + the Unlocked Swift Modem

I hope you paid for it. And I believe you should be charged commercial rate for that.

JingoOAU:
To even imagine that these useless set of people refused to increase our salary, they should be shot.

Their defence has always been that government is not subsiding NAMA, not knowing that they were busy packing all the money, especially that GM finance called Agbolade, thunder and amadioha go strike him and his unborn generation dead

The only person I pity is dat MD...I cnt believe someone who's so dedicated to his 5 times prayers a day can be stealing as EFCC said.

As for Adegorite and his randy wife, you can never run faster than your shadow. Go and called your Uncle Gbenga Daniel to set you free. You are the only one enjoying all the travelling and goodies of NAMA. While your wife, who's never NAMA staff the only person selling ticket for both foreign and local travellings.

Madam Alichie is just a figure head. Agbolade who's just a GM even have more say in the expenses of NAMA than a suppose director of finance...you lots should enjoy ur watery beans in prison

You seem to be an insider. As for the MD that prays 5 times a day, just know that most Nigerians are hypocrites.

todayboy:
Mr falana why did you want the government to try only public officials what about the business men like dangote and Theophilus danjuma who sponsored buhari election into power.

When you fight corruption by selecting only certain people you kill the essence

Actually, T. Y. Danjuma was a public official. And the leak revealed that he started operating the off shore companies and secret bank accounts since when he was a public official and serving army officer.
So Danjuma needs to be investigated and prosecuted. We are watching Buhari, the so called man of integrity.
Decent countries have already announced investigations but we have not heard anything from the Nigerian government on what they will do about the leaks. Buhari is a complete disappointment.

May his soul rest in peace. And God comfort his family.

This one na lie from d pit of hell o

Really? Then tell us the truth.

obailala:
Nothing new has happened. Nigeria is still a shithole, people are still suffering and Nigerians have every right to complain. But the fact still remains that we were saved from worse calamity by the booting out of the old order.

Yeah right. Then why are you guys complaining?

iamcourage:
the thurnder that will fire that omojuwa is still loading...he fought against Gej's administration because of the small money that was given to him..unfortunately the well has dried up..this is just the beginning.

Don't mind the confused Omojuwa.

Nicur:
he said the truth abi is this not what others have been saying since but they will be termed Wailers or IPOD abi IPAD ?

Don't mind confused, clueless people.

Kingblingz:
Oh Jesus! Na diz case Buhari nd APC go wan pursue sotey 2016 go finish.. 9ja I hail o!

I don't think so. Danjuma was one of the financiers of Buhari's campaign. So the hypocrite will not go after him.

Dannyset:
Yepaaaaaaa!
The way this thing is going ehn, am even afraid I might exposed of some of my own dealings that I was not privy of.

Oga Buhari na CCT Chairman? abi na him be AGF?

This people should just mistakenly expose my Dad na, Haba!

Are you just being naïve? So you think that the CCT chairman is independent?, in Nigeria?

modath:
T.A Danjuma is one of the 1% feeding fat on the collective commonwealth of the rest 99% through allocation of oil bloc licenses by cronies in govt, so no story here!!

He'll just claim it's from Seplat or whatever OML menene!!

He is as rich as some African countries, Next?

That will not be enough explanation. The leak reveals that the operation of off shore companies and bank accounts started when he was still in active military service. That would also mean that he lied in his assets declarations. There is enough to prosecute him for but I don't believe Buhari will go after him. Buhari is not the man of integrity some of you make him out to be.

ChetaNwaeze:
TY Danjuma is a Junkun, Buhari is a Fulani. What made Buhari to go after Sambo Dasuki, a fellow Fulani who is also a sokoto Prince, should make you know that Buhari fears no friend nor foe.
Mallam no dey support corruption . Na we Igbos still get that ''leave am na our son'' mentality

Let's hope you are right. But I doubt that he will go after Danjuma.

Fedayeen:
Let's See if Buhari will prosecute TY Danjuma for tax evasion

I doubt it very much. I would not be surprised if Buhari himself is found to be culpable too.

T. Y. Danjuma , one of the real crooks we have in Nigeria. And he will be carrying himself around as a statesman. Buhari has the opportunity to convince us that he is serious about fighting corruption.
God bless these leakers. Let the outing of the criminals continue. Thieves.

This is one of the reason I'm proud of my community- Eka Uruk Eshiet in Etim Ekpo L.G.A, Akwa Ibom State. Mkpatak of the neighbouring L.G.A- Essien Udim can testify what happened in October 2015

In PMB' voice; dogs and baboons were soaked in blood.

Afterall you can rent a very good MACHINE TOOL of not less than 64 rounds at the rate of #1500/24hrs

Let us not be too quick in branding the youths cowards. From the stories we get, it's obvious that the Fulani herdsmen are usually getting help from the Nigerian military.
So I expect that they are better armed than the villagers.
The state governors need to start organising and training armed vigilantes.

highmood:
You know onitsha and Aba boy don't take last, they are ready for the Fulani nomadic fools.

The herdsmen usually roam the villages not the city.

theEYe21:
PROPAGANDA!!!!

You need to have your head checked. The herdsmen are killing villagers and destroying their farms with tacit support from Buhari and you are talking of propaganda.

humilitypays:
Well written but unfortunately, the Federal government will not do anything, so all Nigerian communities should brace up and expect the worst....all well-known Nigerians should start writing petition to all concerned foreign bodies ahead of the genocide about to happen in Nigeria to be fueled by Fulani Herdsmen

We don't need to allow genocide to happen. Nigerians should take up arms against the Fulani herdsmen and the rogue soldiers backing them up.
We did it in 1966/67. The Fulani herdsmen and their Nigerian soldier backers are not invincible. SE, SW, and SS need to be united in resisting the herdsmen and the rogue soldiers.

ileogbenfidel:
I wish ibe kachukwu can emulate these civilized people and resign as he as failed Nigerians on the persistent fuel scarcity.

Is he your petroleum minister?

otukpo:
Did PMB declare his wife's assets ?

Just asking.

If he did, it was not made public. To the best of my knowledge, from what was made public, Buhari did not fully declare his assets and those of his wife and children. Nigerians excel in hypocrisy.
Majority of the public office holders, including Buhari, are guilty of the same offence Saraki is being accused of.

omogin:
The Nigerian system that throws up the worst as their President needs serious rework. First we had a President with sense but no spine. Now we have one with spine but no sense

Very appropriate description of GEJ and Buhari.

Useless people who cannot tell their left from their right. So if you arrest Jonathan that will be equal to conviction. The Halliburton facts have been staring you corrupt incompetents in the face for years now, yet no action from the EFCC.
Irresponsible people want to start what they cannot finish.

They really have this man Saraki by the balls. It's obvious the Sarakis are deeply corrupt just like most prominent political families in Nigeria. I think it's high time he steps aside as senate president.
The revelations are getting too much.

rhymaster:
Focus on the story and stop derailing to discuss another story which you can open a different thread for. If the leadership of NEPC is truly fighting to right the wrongs of years for the betterment of Nigeria and Nigerians, and you focus more on mundane, irrelevant and self- and tribe-serving stories, then you deserve exactly what you got for years under the PDP and military governments. What you need to do is to add a positive voice that things be done correctly at all levels of government because then, Nigeria will truly be Nigeria that can support its citizens and stop rushing to foreign countries to work as near-slaves or live as second class citizens in their country.

What do you mean by "mundane, irrelevant and self- and tribe-serving stories"? Of course both cases are similar. They are all about a section of the country having a sense of entitlement, feeling that they are back in power and so must claim back the juicy positions they felt they lost when they were not in power.
When Onyeka Onwenu cried out, People like you heaped insults on her (because she is Igbo). Now same problem has hit close to home and suddenly you want us to put on our nationalistic and patriotic cap.
We should always eschew tribalism. As educated people, we should try as much as possible to be objective in discussing national issues. Or else we come across as hypocrites.
There was no reason for the ill-treatment of Onyeka Onwenu. And there should be no reason for an ethnic gang-up against Segun Awolowo who I believe is doing a good job at the NEPC.
I don't intend to derail the thread though.

Amazing and really touching. May God bless that generous gentleman and all those passengers that helped. We should be our brothers'/sisters' keepers.

Fedayeen:
Shettima must be the definition of the word Stupidd.


Imagine if he is the manager of Dangote Group in NW region and BH attacks their facilities. The question will be


Is it Dangote that will call the branch manager to get the full scale of report?


Will he sit down and do nothing because he THINKS the security agents of the company has brief Dangote


Who supervises that security men in that company?

Shettimma is just part of the problem of what is wrong with this country. Illiterates filling position of trust

He is really foolish. And he even seems to be proud of his foolishness.

We never expected you to admit to what wizzy said cause we know you.

That's why we are giving you the same treatment we give Lai Mohammed, ie you say something and we take the opposite cause that is where the truth is.

There are some truths in what you said though, I agree with you that you stopped bleeping entertainers long ago, nah politicians sure pass now.

Celibacy kor Queen mother ni.




Shey you dey single ni? Goan marry her nah make I see how you will be able to prove to her family that you're not after her money.

Expect no respect from Laura cause you will never get it.


But Linda will change your life and set you up financially and you will start sipping expensive drinks from your breast pocket instead of beer.

Bear in mind though that she has no private life so she might post your dick pik online someday just to make her female readers and other enemy celebs jealous.


And that her sister will do to you what Solange did to Jay Z. Her own go worse sef cause she's an African, a Nigerian. Nah die you dey walahi.

So what if she had sex with Whizkid's director? Is his director not a human being? Or is Linda banned from having sex? How about Whizkid that is having kids with different women he is not married to? Who should be ashamed here? Our value system has gone to the dogs.

seunmsg:
Reno omokri should shut up please. Nigerians are not fools and neither are we forgetful. 59 boys were killed at Buni yadi under Jonathan administration and over 200 girls were abducted and pastor Omokri saw nothing bad in these incidents. Jonathan never cared to visit either Buni Yadi nor chibok community where the incidents took place and Omokri as his media assistant defended all of his principals action.

Buhari has not only condemned the Agatu killings, he has also ordered an investigation into the matter. So, Omokri should spare us all this holier than thou bullshit. He should go and seek restitution for all the atrocities that he supported and committed during the GEJ administration. He lacks the moral standing to criticise or advice Femi Adesina because he said more terrible things during his time in government.

Did you not read the part where Reno Omokri cautioned that this administration should not make the same mistake the last administration made on the Chibok issue?
You said Buhari condemned the killings. How long after the killings did he issue his condemnation? I read that the herdsmen that carried out the killings are still hanging around Agatu. How come this administration has not made effort to arrest them and prosecute? And yet any group that tries to take up arms against the herdsmen are swiftly arrested by Nigerian soldiers, even while denying that they made such arrests. Don't you think something is fishy here? Are you not worried that you could become a victim of the Fulani herdsmen who seem to have become above the law?

LadyExcellency:
You are not ashamed to utter the gibberish. Peace without Justice.

There is no peace agreement rather a government "arrangey" public stunt.

Tiv-Idoma-Egede Triumvirate Rejects Agatu- fulani Peace-deal, Issues New Demands!

The Peace palley organized between the Agatu people and the fulani people by Ordinary Ahmed, 1-Idoma Initiative and Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria which ended in a communique that listed so many requirements for peace and even a Football Match to cement the peace. While it was a good move which may have been guided by best of motives, a large section of idoma people including myself saw the move as unilateral, over-conciliatory and insulting to the memories of the hundreds killed in the conflict.

These sentiments have been re-echoed by the Premier Councils of the Major Tribes of the State who have united with one voice to disregard the former treaty, and issue fresh demands for peace. It is quite rare to see tribes of the middle belt uniting as a common front against the Fulani, this is a good example. Perhaps the people of Benue aren't cowards after all.

COMMUNIQUÉ ISSUED BY THE MDZOUGH U TIV (MUT), IDOMA NATIONAL FORUM, OMI NY’IGEDE FOLLOWING A COMBINED MEETING HELD AT THE ROYAL CHOICE INN, MAKURDI, BENUE STATE ON 28TH DAY OF MARCH, 2016 ON THE BARBARIC KILLING AND WANTON DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY OF BENUE INDIGENES BY FULANI HERDSMEN.
PREAMBLE:

We the leaders of the Mdzough U Tiv (MUT), Idoma National Forum (INF) and Omi Ny’Igede held a unity meeting at the Royal Choice Inn, Makurdi, Benue State with the Catholic Bishop of Gboko Diocese, Most Rev. Dr. Williams Avenya and that of Katsina-Ala Diocese, Most Rev. Dr. Peter Adobo in attendance to give their fatherly advice. After thorough deliberations on the armed invasion and occupation of our land by Fulani Herdsmen and the wanton killing of our people, destruction of homes and farmlands, raping of our wives and daughters in 15 Local Government Areas out of 23 namely, Agatu, Gwer East, Gwer West, Makurdi, Guma, Tarka, Buruku, Katsina Ala, Logo, Ukum, Kwande, Oju, Obi and Konshisha, we have come up with the following communiqué:

OBSERVATIONS:

We have observed the following in respect of the escalating Fulani Herdsmen invasion in Benue State:
1. Fulani Herdsmen and Farmers conflict in Benue State started over two decades ago. Although successive governments have taken actions to stop the escalation of the conflict, these actions have not been enough. Consequently the crisis has escalated from mere conflict to an invasion and occupation agenda amounting to terrorism.

2. We observed with dismay the inability of both the Federal and State Governments to prevent the escalation of the occupation of our land since it started manifesting several years ago.

3. The delay in setting up the Presidential Investigation Panel promised by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is becoming worrisome.

4. The proposed Town Hall Meeting by the Federal Government is not only diversionary, but a deliberate ploy to downplay the degree of attention and seriousness that should be accorded the invasion of our land. We wonder why the same Government that promised to set up an investigation committee is now resorting to a mere ruse called ‘Town Hall Meeting’.

5. We observed that the Town Hall meeting held on the 24th day of March, 2016 in Abuja by 1 Idoma Initiative with the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) during which some major decisions were taken as detailed in a communiqué did not have the mandate of major stakeholders in the crisis.

6. The Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps are poorly managed, and the IDPs are living in very deplorable conditions, with inadequate security arrangement and acute shortage of relief materials.

7. For the fact that the herdsmen armed attack and wanton killings have become a national threat, it should be declared an INSURGENCY and treated as such, with the aim of dislodging the insurgents from our occupied communities by the security/military operatives.

8. The inability of the President, the nation’s Army and Police Chiefs, and the Governor of Benue State to visit the worst affected communities of Agatu and the other aforementioned where recent mass murder attacks were carried out for on the spot assessment of the level of devastation indicates lack of seriousness deserving of the crisis. This assertion is supported by the careless utterances of Governor Tanko Al-Makura of Nassarawa State that the attacks were mere “skirmishes” that could not be tagged genocide. This is also demonstrated by the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase who, with neither evidence nor a visit to any affected area, claimed that the reported casualty figure of 300 dead people in the Agatu attack was exaggerated.

9. We observed that these invading Fulani Herdsmen have been allowed to bear sophisticated assault weapons unchallenged which is against all our extant laws.
OUR DEMANDS:

1. We reject the Federal Government’s proposed Town Hall Meeting at this time but insist on Judicial Commission of Enquiry to unravel the root cause(s) of the gruesome massacre of our people.

2. While we appreciate the efforts of various concerned groups at resolving the Fulani herdsmen/Farmers crisis in Benue State, we strongly advise that major stakeholders are carried along when critical decisions are being taken by any such groups. We therefore reject the purported town hall meeting held in Abuja on the 24th of March, 2016 by 1 Idoma Initiative with the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria together with its communiqué as same lacks the mandate of the major Idoma stakeholders in particular and the people of Benue State in General.

3. Our people are predominantly farmers with fixed land and growing population, we therefore, reject the idea of having open grazing lands and cattle routes on our land to avoid any conflict as we do not have sufficient land for that purpose. Government should encourage those engaged in cattle rearing business to establish private ranches in line with global best practices instead of the open and uncontrolled grazing that frequently results in violent clashes with farmers.

4. The invasion of our land by people under the cover of Fulani Herdsmen should be classified as an act of Insurgency and the perpetrators labeled as terrorists to be routed out by the military.

5. The perpetrators and sponsors of such heinous crimes against humanity must be brought to justice.

6. The Benue State Government should as a matter of urgency constitute an inclusive Judicial Panel of Enquiry for a public hearing on the state of security in Benue State.

7. The National Assembly should commence a public hearing on the Fulani threat to national security without delay.

8. The office of the National Security Adviser should as a matter of urgency address the nation on the state of insecurity in the country particularly as it relates to the activities of Fulani Herdsmen.

9. We advise that all relevant government agencies saddled with the responsibilities of home land security begin the process of disarming Fulani Herdsmen across the country to avoid a counter arms buildup by helpless communities in self defense.

10. All Herdsmen in Benue State should relocate immediately to allow our farmers go to their farms without fear of being attacked as the farming season approaches in order to avoid severe famine next year.

11. The Benue State and the Federal Government should intensify their efforts in protecting the lives and properties of the people of Benue State.

12. A Victims Support Fund should be established for rebuilding destroyed communities with adequate compensations to families of victims.

13. Our people and land owners particularly traditional rulers and chiefs should hence forth stop leasing our land for grazing purposes whether on a temporary basis or otherwise.

14. Since cattle are at the centre of these dastardly acts and are seen to be superior to our lives, we have resolved to desist from consuming beef or cow milk as an economic sanction and moral responsibility.

15. Our legislators should as a matter of urgency enact laws to criminalize open grazing as it directly conflicts with the livelihood of our people which is crop farming.

16. More attention should be given to the IDP camps with adequate security and relief materials.

17. Government should put in place infrastructure in form of good access roads to facilitate easy access of security operatives to these remote areas which are often subject of attack by these marauders.

18. We call on the International community to rise to our plight by enforcing our fundamental human rights in the face of this incessant invasion of our land and killing and maiming of our people.

19. We demand that the Federal government should immediately tighten security and put in place measures to protect our porous borders to prevent further continuous and uncontrolled entrance of international criminal elements, herdsmen and arms.

Now the people of Benue State are making sense. What kind of peace when the killers have not been brought to book to ensure that the killings do not happen again?
Buhari is a heartless tribalist.

Of course I don't expect a Nigerian president to join a group that would expose his corrupt practices. GEJ refused to join and now Buhari has refused to join too. I'm not surprised.
Buhari is only pretending to be fighting corruption.
If it is about joining an Islamic group, he will quickly join without consultation.

Ok but wen they r lookin for customers/clients, they shld do so wit those dat originated frm those institutions alone. And I only observed dat d skuls preferred r only of d SW. So no beta institutions exist in other regions? Aftr, d same firm will say they employers of equal opportunities. Does dis not further deepen d distrust among tribes in d country? Soon a firm will say they only wnt graduates frm SE institutions, guess who started it 1st?

It would be nice to know the name of the firm so some of us can avoid patronizing them to teach them a lesson.
