It's becoming quite clear these herdsmen are criminal cattle rustlers and murderers masquerading as Fulani nomads. The issue is we cannot decisively deal with this challenge when their identities are misrepresented.

Since when did people seeking arable land for their herd to feed, start carrying AK47's? Are the bullets delivered to their constantly moving cows or do they buy the bullets when going to fetch water for their livestock?

How can you fight who you do not even know?

Anybody with evidence to the contrary should kindly present it or keep their lips sealed.

Wailing will not suddenly establish the relationship.

All of this under GEJ's nose. It is shameful that an immediate ex-president and party leader lacks the authority, influence and competence protect the party from being dumped so disgracefully in his own State. Thank goodness we are sure he left the villa with his cluelessness.

However the PDP is gradually going extinct, which is not good for our democracy. It is hoped other parties will take advantage of this vacuum in the opposition to keep PMB on his toes.

I'm afraid you're right OP. America is an anarchist nation which thrives on deceit and plain devilry.

Without terror, the dollar is indirectly threatened by the economic activities of stable and resource-soaked nations.

Nigeria is truly sitting on a keg of gunpowder. Our strategic position continentally has put the bulls-eye on us, however chances are that America will self-destruct before its evil agenda for Nigeria unravels.

It takes courage to admit wrong, you deserve kudos for this.

As you have resolved to be patriotic without bias, you will fit in quite well with the progressives.

Welcome dunsman.

This is an insult to the sensibilities of Nigerians.

1. What is the use of ten thousand armoured tanks when they are parked in a garage thousands of kilometers away from BH?

2. Of what use are refinery repairs when the same government starves them of crude oil to function, so they can keep looting through importation?

3. There's no need grasping at straws; we are not yet certified polio free. Nigeria will only be certified so by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2017, provided it maintains its zero case status.

What a tank of hogwash, no wonder Metuh was kicked out from the PDP earlier today.

All I know the white men choose who will do their bidding. ..they are only interested in a African resources, majorly oil and gold....I watched the documentart last night in Aljazira. They white men said so themselves. ...they don't care about who life or die....they interested in resources and give power to whoever can do what they wanted.....I know you are a Northerner...it's understandable when you play or form the ostrich. ...

I know exactly what you are saying. It's quite true and I've been aware of this fact. However it's not just an attribute of the white man, but every capitalist human being on earth. Do you really think Dangote is taking over sectors of the economy of other African countries without influencing their government?

ColeworldMD:
Remember that many african coutries speak hausa too.

Their content is distinctly Nigerian.

truefact:
You need to watch what I watch in Aljazira last night...
It was documentary on how France uses Elf to destroy African countries. ...from Benin republic to Algeria, even Angola. ....the white man gave power to those they can control for African resources ....they caused war on Gabon and other countries and watch people die...they did a lot of evil and enthroned evil leaders on africa

And you think if they wanted control through manipulation they wouldn't go for the most greedy Nigerians?

The system of administration the British met in the North was compatible with their own administrative system, that was the primary reason they chose northerners and established BBC Hausa to further enlighten them and make them even more politically adept. Voice Of America Hausa service was also subsequently established by the Americans and their Hausa partners.

You should have done some research before opening this thread and reaching such conclusions.

ZKOSOSO:
Well I know all these all along cos the North is where we live.
But the real truth, I mean the real hidden truth is the Ideology of Islam. With the mindset of hate, conquests, killing/jihad and above all seize spoils of war all engraved deeply in Islam against the infidels or non-muslims, what u get is what Nigeria is today!

Dominate at all cost. Even manipulate to favour the side of Allah. When there are resources to gain from south.

And the North lacks resources?

...and coincidentally, the Harold Smith subscribed to the already held prejudices and desires of the writer. The easterners were already selling their kinsmen to the Britons as slaves before 1914 so if they needed silly and submissive people, they didn't have to look far.

Where's the link to this article anyway?

It sounds more like the pained rants of sudden irrelevance.

Akpabio should realize that Nigerians have outgrown the PDP's style of politics; never again shall we tolerate governance by impunity, looting and lawlessness.

Nigerians will collectively resist every effort he makes to rob us of the change we worked for.

In no son assembles his own car...IVM.


That's a huge difference.

Innoson brands his own car. The parts are produced by other companies.

There's a huge difference.

FKO81:
Peugeot is France car manufacturing company, what they do in Kaduna are assembling just like what Mercedes does in Enugu

And what do you think Innoson is doing? Innoson assembles pre-fabricated parts.

FKO81:
Ode! We are talking of indigenous car manufacturing in Nigeria, Mercedes also have assembling plant in Enugu (ANAMCO )

Don't be silly. Peugeot Kaduna is owned by ASD Motors. Do your research.

Peugeot Automobile Kaduna has also been producing world-class vehicles since the 80's.

They are also on the list on Wikipedia.

Well done PassingShot. That was a banging analysis.

Stuffs that were bought by JONA!!

Of what use are the purchased planes when parked in a hangar thousands of kilometers from Boko Haram?

All credit goes to the Armed Forces and their Commander-in-Chief.

We haven't given Agric the actual attention it needs. Agric and technology will feed this country big time

Its puzzling why we are still importing rice in this country. Wastage is an issue that also needs to be tackled.

The numbers below are in $ Billion. We have the resources, we need to develop the capacity.

See what a focused leadership with pinpoint policy direction can do.

Nigeria can literally survive on agriculture and revenue from solid minerals if we aggressively pursue the effective diversification of our economy.

Nigeria Can Generate $256 Billion from Agriculture By 2030

This growth potential could be achieved from increasing crop yields to 80-100 per cent of international benchmarks, cultivating 14million hectares of new agricultural land (approximately 38 per cent of Nigeria’s unused available land of 36.9m hectares) and shift 20 per cent of production to higher value agricultural produce.

Professor Agbato of Landmark University, laments that Nigeria, despite its enormous potential in agriculture, had chosen to neglect the sector, and failed to tap the huge opportunities to grow and expand its economy and reduce reliance on oil earnings.
He said this while delivering the second convocation lecture of the Landmark University, Omu Aran, Kwara State, entitled, “Inclusive Agriculture: A Catalytic Trigger for Non-Oil Dependent Economy.”

The lecturer highlighted the current yields of some crops in Nigeria as against international benchmark. For maize, 1.5 tons per hectare against 7-8 tons; groundnut - 400kg per hectare against 2.700kg in Turkey; onions - 4 metric tons per hectare against 120 tons in Yemen; tomatoes - 5tons per hectare against 100tons in Israel; rice - 1.5tons per hectare against 20 tons in Thailand.

He added that the country’s milk yield from cattle was 300 litres per lactation as against 10,000 litres of international benchmark.
Agbato emphasized that Nigeria had a huge strength and potentials, having the most fertile land in the world, 79m hectares of agricultural land of which 40m is arable, regretting that over 40 per cent of arable land remains uncultivated.

He observed that some developing nations, which shared similar antecedents with Nigeria, had deployed interventions in the agricultural sector to reduce poverty and enhance economic growth.

Nice.

This is why Agriculture must be aggressively developed in this country. The revenue potential is beyond what oil currently offers us, especially considering its falling value, availability of shale, and the increasingly hostile competitive market.

President Buhari's plan to effectively diversify our mono-economy should be implemented in an accelerated manner. The huge deposits of solid minerals, added to revenue from agriculture will go a long way to buffer our departure from our helpless reliance on crude oil.

Txonyi:
Ha ha ha ha apc idiots forming igbo leaders!!!!!! We wont work with the oedophile and terrorist buhari! Stop deluding yourselves you western bigots. In Biafra we stand!

Do you not think working with Buhari increases your chances of realising your dream?

If you don't work with him, how will you successfully table your desire for a referendum?

This is a welcome development. The younger ones should also hearken to this call.

If PMB fails, we all suffer.

Ama80:
I feel ur passion.my concern is for his campaign promises to come to fruition n he shud spread his tentacles in fighting d corruption else it will appear as a witch hunt.

How exactly does the identity of those prosecuted matter in the war against corruption? It should not even be a matter of contention among any persons that possess integrity that ANYONE who is duly investigated and indicted for corruption, should be prosecuted and punished for their crimes.

All the rhetoric about PMB going after a set of people, are nothing but a load of unneeded sentiments.

Chiaka:

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/ill-make-naira-equal-in-value-to-dollar-says-buhari/

From your link, this was PMB's statement:

“It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped to more than N230 to one dollar; this does not speak well for the nation’s economy,’’

The rest is just sensational journalism.

Yet some people thought he was called clueless for no reason. When we were told he was helpless against the bottle, we never imagined the effects it would have on us.

This was a President that did not know an Ambassador was withdrawn from under him till after a whole week, for a call he didn't know he had made...It took our dear Soyinka to inform him that his aides had faked his call.

Don't be fooled for a minute with this pretence, Jonathan was too distracted by his own wanton looting to begin fighting corruption, that is the truth. He knew what was happening, he just didn't think he would have to account for it; PDP was supposed to rule for 60 years remember?

How can a man who sacked Sanusi for revealing corruption, now claim he was unaware of it?

Thank God we were saved from another four years of avoidable cluelessness and gross incompetence.
