I’m very sure it’s only a negligible amount that comes from the contributions of the North. Divide this fvcking country, let them go and join their kiths and kins in Niger.

MichaelSokoto:
wat is nzobu nzobu?

MichaelSokoto:
someone u contracted & paid to do a job 4 u, do u now turn to urge d pesin to finish ur work?
Abi u suppose shout 4 am & dash am deadline to deliver!

I don't understand d Minister's statement!

”What I want them to know is that there are other construction giants that can also deliver quality work. So we don’t want to go beyond 2024 with this project, not 2025. That is not what the president has directed.”

The minister confirmed that funding for the project is not the issue for the delay in the road completion, saying insecurity also played a role.

They are APC members in the day time and Labour Party members at night.

"So there is no way they can convince anybody that knows them very well that they are APC members.These are characters I know very well that worked for Labour Party in the last general elections.

"It's bad for them to be playing the hide and seek games of parading themselves as members of Southeast APC Young Progressives Forum when they are actually backstabbers of the same APC.

"Pascal Candle that parades himself as their national convener is my friend, so I know what am saying. He is only claiming APC with his mouth but he is actually working for Labour Party.

How yorubas and hausas are taking different stand also baffles everyone.

You guys want to use ecowas to attack buhari in Katsina in the guise of fighting Niger.

Pakute:
The threat was a masterstroke, remember AU also issued a 14day ultimatum. The major saving grace of the coupists are the northern elites who intervened based on close affinities to both sides. The latest resolution by ECOWAS to deploy standing troops also sent down shivers, who could think that a military dictator could apologize. ECOWAS negotiated from a weaker position in Mali & Burkina faso which the current leadership of ECOWAS doesn't want a repeat.

aderadio1:
Lol ECOWAS is finally divided. Anybody can see us anyhow now.

I wait confirmation from ECOWAS HQ before I believe this.

He also apologised for not according the team sent by President Tinubu led by former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd) the required attention because they were angry about the ECOWAS ultimatum.

Niger Republic coup leader, General Abdourahmane Tchiani has agreed to dialogue with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) after his meeting with Nigerian Islamic scholars led by the national leader of Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa Iqamatus Sunnah (JIBWIS), Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau in Niger Republic.

According to Niger Republic’s Prime Minister, Ali Mahamane Lamine Zeine, General Tchiani gave the green light for talks with ECOWAS and was optimistic the talks with ECOWAS would take place in the next few days.

“We have agreed and the leader of our country has given the green light for dialogue. They will now go back and inform the Nigerian President what they have heard from us. we hope in the coming days, they (ECOWAS) will come here to meet us to discuss how the sanctions imposed against us will be lifted,’’ he said.

Nigeria’s Intervention Team, which included notable Islamic scholars from the country, met with the coup leaders in Niger over the weekend, and all parties decided to strengthen the option of dialogue in resolving the country’s political problem.

The Islamic Ulammas led by Sheik Bala Lau met with General Abdourahmane Tchiani for several hours in Niger’s capital Niamey during which they deliberated on all the issues including the demand by ECOWAS leaders that former President Bazoum be reinstated.

Bala Lau, who is the National Chairman of Jamatul Izalatu Bida Waikamatu Sunnah, said the clerics were in Niger on behalf of President Bola Tinubu who accepted their request to intervene.

Sheik Lau said the team had earlier told President Tinubu who is also the Chairman of Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government that their position is that the political impasse in Niger is resolved through dialogue.

He, therefore, told General Tchiani that the visit to Niger was to engage in constructive dialogue to encourage him and other military leaders behind the coup to toe the path of peace instead of war to resolve the crisis. Responding, General Tchiani who accorded the team warm reception welcomed their intervention. He said their doors were open to explore diplomacy and peace in resolving the matter.

General Tchiani, however, said it was painful to the coup leaders that the ECOWAS leaders did not hear their side of the matter before issuing ultimatum to them to quit office.

He claimed the coup was well intended, stating that they struck to starve off an imminent threat that would have affected not only Niger Republic but also Nigeria.

He also apologised for not according the team sent by President Tinubu led by former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd) the required attention because they were angry about the ECOWAS ultimatum.

While tracing the historical ties between the two nations, he said Niger Republic and Nigeria were not only neighbours but brothers and sisters who should resolve issues amicably.

Speaking with journalists in Niamey after the meeting, another member of the intervention team and Chief Missioner of Ansarudeen Society of Nigeria, Sheik Ahmad Abdulrahman, said contrary to reports in some sections of the media, the team was well received by General Tchiani and both parties had fruitful discussions.

“We will now go back home and report to President Tinubu what we have discussed and press it on him that war is not an option in resolving the matter.

“We believe that war is an ill wind that will not blow any good and that peaceful resolution should prevail.”

The team comprised scholars from various Islamic sects in the country. Among them were Sheik Kabiru Gombe-Secretary, Jamatul izalatul bida waikamatul sunnah, Sheik Yakubu Musa Hassan Katsina-Director Daawah, JIBWIS, Sheik Ibrahim Dahiru Bauchi- Rep Sheik Ibrahim Bauchi and Dr Khalid Aliya- Secretary General, Jammatul Nasril Islam. Others included Sheik Karibullah Nasiru Kabara- Leader Khadriya Group Nigeria, Sheik Ahmad Abdurahman, Professor Salisu Sheri- Deputy Secretary-General Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Sheik Nasiru Abdul Muhayuid- Director Admin, JIBWIS Jos, Professor Mansur Sokoto, and Alhaji Mele Kyari.

MadamExcellency:
Says who? It's not possible to be everywhere at every time.

Secondly, he wouldn't allow you a free pass because you will wake up to see that you are no more moderator at some point during your active duty without being given prior information hence my demand that he incorporated a blocking option on Nairaland to allow people to choose their circle of friends.

Penguin2:
Peter Obi was on course to win the presidency without your votes until Mahmoud criminally shut down the IREV to cook up votes for Tinubu.

Penguin2:
Lol!

You can continue to twist arguments to suit your narrative to please yourself.

My aim was to point out to you that the president doesn’t always get what he wants from the court no matter how powerful he is.

Buhari hated Igbos with every vein in his system. He desperately wanted to deal with Nnamdi Kanu (would have even killed him if he had his way), but the judiciary still ordered his release under the nose of the one with “yam and knife”.

So, I gave you the instance of Nnamdi Kanu and Buhari to let you know that Tinubu might not get what he wants from the judiciary no matter the influence you think he welds.

And I don’t you were gonna dispute the fact that Tinubu will be become useless from the second he’s sacked by the court.

Dem no born him and him generation well to try nonsense if the courts sack him.

Penguin2:
Exactly!

Buhari obtained a stay of execution.

But why did he obtain stay of execution if the Supreme Court hadn’t ordered the release of Kanu against his wish?

And do you compare the Kanu’s issue to Tinubu’s mandate?

Stay of execution could be gotten against Kanu’s release, but the very second the Supreme Court sacks Tinubu, he loses all powers and becomes worthless like a used sanitary pad.

If he does do anyhow, he would be charged for treason; he and whoever helped him.

Penguin2:
Buhari had the yam and the knife when the Judiciary, from High Court to Appeal Court to Supreme Court, acquitted Nnamdi Kanu and ordered his release as against what Buhari wanted.

It is not over until it’s over.

djon78:
Huge great respect 💪 to Emir Sanusi

Shows how much respect he carries in Sahel region of Africa

These Niger military junta refused to see Former President Abdul Salam Abubakar and the Sultan of Sokoto
They refused to see Ecowas delegates and the US assistant Secretary of State

Very big respect to Emir Sanusi

Hoping peace will return to our region, because war does no one any good

tishbite42:
Are you referring to AA and the Sultan as ECOWAS delegation??
That's buffoonery sha.
The duo were mere emissaries from Tinubu. That's why he humiliated them. Derby from Chad was given a presidential welcome.
He humbled Tinubu and Nigeria, not ECOWAS.

tishbite42:
You are pained agbado guy
The junior officers are part of the 'junta'

tishbite42:
Funny how you're visiting a regime you don't recognize
Clap yourself
Accept your error and move on
Even the US asked for a meeting with the 'junta'

tishbite42:
Junta or no junta, Niger Republic is a member of ECOWAS.
Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso and Chad are also military regimes and are part of the so-called ECOWAS.
Take your propaganda elsewhere

tishbite42:
An ECOWAS member that doesn't identify with ECOWAS?!
Can you make any sense out of what you typed?!
Carry ur propaganda to ur fellow almajirai

LegendHero:
Peter Obi cannot be Nigeria president even if he is the only one printed on INEC ballot.

Until we Yoruba and Hausa/Fulanis agree to give power to an Ibo person, no Ibo person living or dead will be president.

ChiefOloye:
Aveg, wetin you want base your rerun on, and na you and who go run am?
