The Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, came hard on those causing trouble with fuel scarcity in the country during the Yuletide period describing their acts as shameful. Osinbajo dispenses petrol in Lagos “It’s such a shame that Christmas has been, to some extent, with this sort of discomfort. This is deeply regretted. “And l know that, despite the resilience and strength of people in Lagos and the Nigerian people, we would see ourselves through this and will enjoy our Christmas and have a great New Year,” Osinbajo said.

Instead of u to shut ur mouth in shame u r busy saying thrash.how unfortunate u and ur colleagues lack the knowledge and capacity of govern.Some of u think leadership is by try and error.A tin of peak milk is now N200,common item that maintained low price for years.God will hold u and ur generation guilt for ur lies.

I just have to quote this…. It must sink into their flatheadss

Is this how u learnt in school? if someone is given d right to sponsor an event those that gave him d right know nothing.And because Adenuga a and the government provided jets that flew Ojukwu and Ekueme respectively now means d Igbos should be crying.Your education is a shame

Even if US should sanction Nigeria it will not work because Nigeria has become a super power.Nigeria will ever mobilize against US if we feel US position is not right.

wtfcoded:
Not the best comment though.
But he's only expressing his frustrations on how igbos have maltreated in everything they're doing.
But no matter what, igbos are created strong.
Igbo esika!

Nwodo is absolutely right with his position.What affects d igboman affects every other Nigerian.The buhari led government has impoverish Nigerians creating more Almajiris and agbero,ritualists and unemployed youths than ever before. Those who claimed to v d magic wand that can turn things were mere opportunists.The minister of Finance since she took up that job has been lost with d schedule of activities there.

Afonjas r worst than a snake.Never trust them in anything.Once the opportunities r there for them to steal everything is OK.Always use a long stick when dealing with Afonjas.I wonder why they got this attitude.

Gotze1:
Why do they not boycott facebook na

But u can never compare Igbo and Yoruba on matters of lies.Yoruba's r know for that whether u like it or not that's d truth.

perez100:
In 2006, Balaraba Musa queried Yorubas source of claims when the Yorubas claimed their sons won the Nigeria Civil War, even when they were told to list the names of their sons that fought the war, and they could not list up to 10 names. They took Middlebet credit that died in their thousands. These Afonjas attributed credit for Biafra advance to Ore to their son Victor Banjo. Can one man repel batallions from
S/East to Ore? They also claimed they made Jonathan President in 2011 even when SW recorded the least number of votes than any other regions. They also claimed to have single-handedly made Buhari President in 2015 even when the North had told them several times that only Kano votes dwarfed the entire S/west votes yet they can't let us hear word. Today, they are again telling anyone who cares to listen that SW cannot be toiled with. The funny thing was their inability to make Awolowo, MKO Abiola and Olu Falae Presidents. What is actually wrong with Yorubas? Mods, am just asking.

Yorubas r too delusional.Because the Ibos maintained their intergrity and pride not to vote for PMB but GEJ the yorubas beleive that they r d one that made PMB win election.If u check d election results in SW u will see the slight defeat they got against the IGbos in their own land.Im not even mentioning the voters cards that belong to the Ibos which were destroyed by the Yorubas.

diadem10:
Exactly!

They had everything in the 60's. They not only oversaw the affairs of the federal government but were also the ones overseeing most of the jobs in the SW, for example unibadan staffs but they were never contented. They went out to kill every regional leaders except the Ibos, plunged Nigeria into crisis and lost all in the end yet have the nerves to play the victim?

The most annoying was Jonathan's regime. They basically sabotaged the regime and destroyed what could have been.. Very greedy and selfish folks.

I wonder whether u went to school.From 1966 to 1998 Ibo were out of govt, Nigeria became backward all because of the Yorubas who stole d govt dry not to mention the Hausa fulanis who r insatiable with corruption.Under Jonathan govt they could not steal bc GEJ didnot allow them but the Huasa Fulanis still came out top with Dasuki looting. Today yorubas r stealing again,by d time they leave govt Nigeria would v gone backward 70yrs.

BlessMySoul:
Just check the politics board and see what is happening here. This is a clear proof that you people are very tribal and sentimental like we accuse Igbo people of. You despise Igbo people with passion yet claim "They are the tribal ones".

Just because they lost ordinary party chairman.... They have been so bitter and dying. They have inundated the poitics board with bitter weepings on how the PDP is dead in the South West. Take your time and read through my post to the last. You will realise how you people will loose more if you guys continue down this dangerous lane. Personally as an Igbo man, I dont have any issue with any Nigerian tribe on this forum. I see all the shitty things almost all Nigerian people say about my tribe but I decide to ignore. Check through my profile posts. This is even my first comment and thread on the politics board. I avoid here a lot because its very toxic.

But there is something funny I have noticed about this particular people am talking about. Something very very bad.

In 2015, you lots were accusing the Igbo's of being very tribal and " Poto Poto Minded" for supporting Jonathan whom you all called Monumental failures. Going by all indices and facts, Buhari and Osibanjo are Gargantuan and Brazzen failures ever witnessed since the new democracy. I will use 1 example to buttress this fact. Go to Foreign embassies around Nigeria and see what is happening there. Unlike before, you will see Tens of thousands seeking to run away from this country. Just go to Abuja and see for yourself. Mynd44 may be able to bear witness to this.

Even there was a thread one time one guy was asking if he should come back from the US. Madridguy... A known Buhari supporter and loyalist was at the forefront campaining against Nigeria and why the dude shouldnt come back. I was like... Wow... So even this Buhari supporters know that water has passed garri? This is what madridguy said "OP sit down for US and stop looking for what is not. Nigeria is only good for the rogues in the govt, their family member,or associate. Still no light, no security, health sector zero. Boko haram, fulani terrorist, militant, kidnappers, ritualist, baddo boys, army robbers to mention few are making Nigeria the most dangerous place on earth." That will show you that even these guys know that Buhari/Osibanjo is a failure... A monumental one! Use the link below to verify.

https://www.nairaland.com/4214750/moving-back-nigeria-usa

You can see people from this region am talking about preaching against coming back to Nigeria! This is same Nigeria they dont want Nnamdi Kanu to pull out from with Igbo people oo. The people from this region preached against Nnamdi Kanu eh. They want us to stay together and die even when they know that Nigeria is not working. Topic for another day

Back to topic. .I have taken my time to monitor this board and seen that these people are not better... I have been seeing comments like "We will never support an Igbo VP, PDP is dead in the South West because we lost the "shiamanship", The Igbos can never rule Nigeria, Igbos cannot be trusted". Sighs... As if it matters.

Funny enough in this current administration, nobody has been licking oil and enjoying more than this set of people. They are handling juicy posts and offices. Of the 3 major tribes in this country, no region has been marginalized like Ndigbo in this current adminstration. I have also been seeing comments like "The Igbos don't know how to play Politics and voted only 1 side... So they shouldn't enjoy".... Wow! So its now about who you voted right? No longer politics of inclusion were nobody is the victor or vanquished?

They always think they are smarter than the others so that they will claim " Political Jagaban" and the "Most Sophisticated".

Now tell me something. In 2015, this particular region betrayed the PDP and handed down their votes to the North. Even when they collected huge money from the excos of PDP. They licked the oil and as is there nature in always being negatively smart, they betrayed the party and never delivered any votes!

Lets now see the joke! Same people that betrayed PDP in 2015 now want the machinery of a great party like PDP to be handed over to them! Probably they will now come and be making comments like... " Wow... We are smart. We control PDP through ADENIRAN and also Control APC with TINUBU at the helm of affairs. This region wants to be the people determining who comes out as Governors and senators in different regions and zones so that they can always claim to be the people that control the economy, politics and religion of this country! Same problem my people have! Always claiming 70% of any region they invest in which is very nauseating and annoying"

The New thing reigning now on this forum is.... PMB has just won re-election! Wow! Even as a monumental failure he is? I thought this region was detribalized and non sentimental? I thought they accused Igbos of being naive and akpu minded? What are they minded? I also see comments like "We will never abandon our Son Osibanjo to vote an Igbo man VP! Wow! But Igbos adopted Jonathan and you people made hell of it for over 4 years? Does that mean that this region just like my people are always after their own stomach too and selfish interests not national interests?

But let me close by reminding you people that these chess games you are playing with the political future of your region is outdated. You can't eat your cake and have it back.

Personally, I careless if Buhari or Atiku wins. Because they are still part and parcel of the old structure that made this country what it is today!

But am just trying to remind you people that if you think that the Hausa-Fulani hegemony will hand over power after your so called "PMB has won re-election" then jokes on you guys. Remember 1993? Abiola? Remember 1999? Olu Falae/Obasanjo saga? Remember how Awolowo thought they will make him President but ended up in prison?

Take note of this facts because history is about to repeat itself again. The North Central, South South And South East Will soon Hijack the PDP. The wind of Atiku will soon start blowing all over the country like the monumental failure Buhari.

THERE IS NO WAY ON EARTH BUHARI AND HIS CABAL WILL ALLOW TINUBU OR THIS REGION TO HIJACK APC. QUOTE ME ANYWHERE. ALL THESE PERMUTATIONS YOU PEOPLE ARE DOING THAT BUHARI WILL HAND OVER POWER TO THE WEST IS A NO GO AREA. THEY WILL NEVER TRY IT. WHAT WILL REMAIN AGAIN IS TO FORM ANOTHER REGIONAL PARTY!

Even if there is a zoning System in APC, they will prefer Rochas Okorocha to appease the Igbos. And even if they feel Igbos betrayed them in 2019 again, THEY WILL CHERRY PICK ANOTHER TRIBE OR ANOTHER PERSON FROM YOUR TRIBE THEY WILL HAND POWER OVER TO BUT NOT YOUR CHOICE. MORE LIKE A PUPPET. Obasanjo Or Olu Falae? Ring any bells?

MIND YOU AM JUST BRINGING IGBO AND YORUBA PRESIDENTIAL EQUATION THAT IS IF THE POWERFUL FULANI CABAL DOESN'T HAND POWER OVER TO KWANKWASO OR EL RUFAI.

Do you know the Region that will loose at last? SOUTHERN REGION. Because while the two big Women fight, the poor husband gains everything! The south needs to get their game straight. I will discuss this on another thread

Mynd44 Take note. Anybody that says or breaks any rules on this thread should be sanctioned. This is purely for discussion.

Well u bothered urself with yoruba attitude.I like ur word, "negatively smart".Honestly that is their attitude.Obasanjo was brought into power by the North,South East and South South after the yorubas betrayed themselves.APC was never and will never be a national party.Unfortunately, some Nigerians wanted a better system not knowing that the Yorubas were playing ethnic politics.After the APC govt came in they changed their attitude and brought failure on the govt.Ministers of Finance, Power,houseing,communication,and solid minirals v failed in their capacities.And we v seen that the yoruba man can never be trusted better u trust a snake than a yoruba man.Now they r looking for another opportunity haven failed to see Buhari dead for Osibaba to takee over.Very funny people.The Yoruba votes are only confined in South West while the Igbo votes can make up the required percentage in the South WEst and still give block votes from South East.
In 2019, PMB will be defeated in North Central.His votes will be shared in South West,North East, and North West,while he will be defeated in South East and South South.

See this one o. U think u are going to get pat at the back when u hate on others. U all don't know what u are doing with ur unnecessary confrontation with other tribes when u were fighting for ur Biafra...

yorubas rant alot.no matter how they rant the igbos remain the African capitalists.u cant take it away from them.whether they r in govt or out of govt their impacts in varous walks of life and endeavor r great.They will fill anywhere with investment ideas.It also means that they v the power to pull out their investment and the place will collapse.

You people should be concerned about Nnamdi Kanu's safety and his where about and not some material things like boxes of Useless wrappers unless you want us to believe that he's in hiding somewhere which you people knows about.

I hope Ipob and the family will not sue the government for missing wrappers and claim another 80 million dollars.

Confused terrorist family.

Unfortunately u still accuse d British imperial forces of ransacking and stealing our cultural artifact in the late 19th century.Today after so many years, the Nigerian Army and Police are still doing the same thing.It is a taboo to steal a woman's wrapper.Incase u v ur brother among these people kindly advice him to return his share of the loot because there is a generational curse on those things.

After attack on the Fulani people, the military went to search the Fulani settlement leaving the bachama people who killed children and women last month.
The Fulani insisted that they have no weapons. In return they tried shooting but bullets are not penetrating , the Fulani attacked them.

How sure r u?u must be part of the fulani ppl that killed those gallant mopol men.The manner at which those mopol men were slaughtered showed that the fulani ppl r barbaric and inhuman.

wirinet:
The bolded is the being economical with the truth, IPOB main modus operandi is using threats of violence and insults to promote their agenda. All Kanu and its IPOB followers know how to do is insult and threaten everybody who disagrees with their ideology with violence.

The IPOB member or official in an IPOB rally who promised or wished ( as you prefer to term it) death to anyone who come out to vote is only speaking for himself, but a Yoruba king or doctor in the privacy of his home who says anybody who does not vote for his candidate in an election is speaking for the whole Yoruba ethnic group.

IPOB is threatening violence as the only strategy for forcing the government to agree to a referendum. It has not even considered the political alternatives. It has no political strategy or even base.

No government, and I mean no government even in the western world would allow half of what IPOB are getting away with in Nigeria.

In the US, Kathy Griffen was invited by the secret service for using the severed head of donald Trump in a photo shoot, and you guys are justifying IPOB's threat to severe the head of Buhari, after that you guy will scream IPOB is not a violent organization.

using the SEVERED HEAD OF DONALD TRUMP IN A PHOTO SHOOT. has ipob carried guns threatening to shoot anyone?Wole Soyinka after promising that he would pot out of US if Trump wins, has he not gone back.IPOB IS NON VOILENT.Kindly learn from their non voilent method unlike OPC and BOKO HARAM.

stephanie11:
A former aide to Ex-president, Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has fired Vice president Yemi Osinbajo over his recent comments that Jonathan doled out N100 billion and $295 million in cash for security during the last elections within two weeks.

Omokri claims that the vice president is a liar and mocks him over his 'pastoral' status. Below is a statement from Omokri obtained by PoliticsNGR;

"My attention has been drawn to claims in the media by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, against former President Jonathan. Speaking on Friday the 27th of October 2017 in Lagos at a ‘Greater Nigeria Pastors Conference’, the Vice President said: "Weeks before the 2015 elections, the government then, gave out N100billion in cash and $295million in cash ostensibly for security within two weeks".

I make bold to say that the Vice President has once again taken to his characteristic habit of lying.
Nigerians may recall that only last week, Vice President Osinbajo was in Anambra state where he lied that the present administration had paid $2 billion for the second Niger Bridge.

I had cause to expose that lie and forced the Presidency to issue a 'clarification'. The money released was 2 billion Naira and it came from the Sovereign Wealth Fund set up by the Jonathan administration which the APC resisted and challenged in court.

It will also be recalled that in February 2016, the Vice President again lied when he claimed that both the Jonathan and Yar'adua government did not build a single road. This fact was easily disproved when even members of this administration, including Osinbajo's boss, President Buhari, began commissioning projects, including roads built by the Jonathan administration.

Nigerians will recall that the Jonathan administration rebuilt the Benin-Ore portions of the Benin-Lagos road, the Vom-Manchok road, the Kano-Zaria Road bridge (named after late Emir Ado Bayero) and many more.

On this recent allegation by the Vice President, not only has the Vice President again lied, he is doing so to divert attention from the Maina scandal in which the administration in which he serves, by the testimony of the Maina Family, invited Abdulrasheed Maina, the infamous alleged pension thief, back into the country, reinstated him, promoted him and deployed him as Director of Human Resources in the ministry of Internal affairs.

When they were found out, the Presidency resorted to its favorite past time of blame game by preposterously accusing former President Jonathan of somehow magically being the brain behind Maina's return. This is even as the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, had already revealed that he "acted in the public's interest" in initiating the process for Maina's return.

There is also the $25 billion Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation scam which is the biggest scam ever in the history of Nigeria since 1914 to date.

Finally, Nigerians want to know the truth about the Babachir Lawal probe which has been concluded and handed over to the President many months ago but of which no action has been taken.

Nigerians want to hear the truth about these scandals and not tired lies about looted funds that keep being recycled without proof.

I would like to remind the Vice President that he is a pastor and therefore conversant with the biblical admonition in Revelations 21:8 that "all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone."

It is not too late for the Vice President to turn a new leaf and begin to apologize to Nigerians for the three million jobs a year he and his boss promised, but ended up losing 4.5 million jobs in their first two years according to the Nigerian Bureau of statistics.

If Vice President Osinbajo is looking for who to blame for the present sorry state of the Nigerian economy, he should buy a mirror.

The rushed implementation of the Treasury Single Account policy of the Jonathan administration, the constant negative comments about our economy by the President while on foreign trips, the inconsistent foreign exchange policies of the government, the advise to the World Bank to focus only on Northern Nigeria, the openly pro Northern Agenda which gives promotion and appointments to persons of Northern extraction irrespective of merit or experience are to blame, not Dr. Goodluck Jonathan."

The VP has suddenly overtaken Lia Mohammed in the track of lies.I guess he s happy that at least he s bring heard on weekly basis,meaning he s working.

In a referendum Igbos will vote against Biafra

hollah123:
let me pretend like I believe u but the whole south west have decided what they want is restructuring even d ever crazy fayose agreed to it, Abeg what are d igbos saying, is it no election come November 18 or voting per Se?abeg use speed answer that question

Yorubas can never be trusted.Is it today that they v been asking for restructuring?Yorubas only use it to gain political power after which they will relapsed.Your APC govt rejected restructuring even ur czar Tinubu, haven lost politically they r begining to key into restructuring.The SE leads for restructuring and cessation and they r resolute.

timsTNA:
There wasn't any greater looting in Nigeria than obasanjo era. Harlibutton scam, the fraudulent sale of Nigeria airways, NEPA, etc. The Yoruba voted him because they are never content politically, they always want more, just like they are doing under buhari now. If you think this description is too wicked to tag someone with, then you don't know the length people can go for power

We r going to tell our governors from SE/SS to eat with long spoon when eating with d yoruba man bc of what they v become in Nigerian politics. I heard Hausa Fulanis saying as far as the yorubaman is there the forum will fail

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:
Obonte
Yoruba dont want to stay in the same country with you either. We are deporting you all back to biafuro

Now reality has come, the dust has settled and the yorubas want partnership.There is a general fear that the Yoruba man is biologically a betrayal so the SE/SS should be careful.

UfuomaUN:
Your people are dying everyday in droves and what you're concerned about is igbos

nairaland E-warrior

They r funny set of people.Their rants make gbos more united and it show how cunny and hatred they r on the Igbos.They need to know that Igbos only compare themselves with the Jews and they r learning from their experiences.

omenka:
Good morning all.

I come in peace.

I'd begin this with two quotes.

Israelmore Ayivor once said..



George Bernard Shaw said..



These two quotes, in a sense, sum up the political blues emanating from South East Nigeria.

Nigeria is such a fascinating place and there is no other place in the country where you find such beguiling political nuances than in the South East, alot of which sprang to life just after the declaration of the results of the last general elections.

It was a chain reaction initiated by the loss of their preferred contestant, Goodluck Jonathan, and catalysed by their collective hatred for the person, tribe and religion of the victor, President Buhari, and those they perceive were associated with his victory namely Bola Ahmed Tinubu in particular, and the South West in general.

No sooner did he take the oath of office than they swarmed him with a torrent of unprintable insults and at best, criticisms, none of which came anywhere close to constructive. They jettisoned all courtesy typical of normal human engagements and delved right into a fray they created in a most sordid manner.

These folks who were having such a fantastic ride with President Jonathan for over five years and literally asked anyone who dared to grumble about being left out or shortchanged to "stick it up their assses" suddenly remembered they've been "marginalised" since the Big Bang!

They found an enthusiastic ally in a sly character called Fani Kayode and he has been doing such a plumb job making sure they fortify their hate for the aforementioned people, he himself a very bitter loser. Most surprisingly, this was the same man whose head they called for just a couple of years earlier for criticising their conduct in Nigerian politicospare.

It is this unbridled hate and anger some opportunistic layabout in London saw and took advantage of, exploiting it to the fullest. Alas, IPOB was born!

This brings me back to both my opening quotes.

Now, if not for reason of sheer hatred, how in God's gracious name did a people who pride themselves as some of the most educated and enlightened people in the continent allow a character that,

1. Has no known educational exploits,

2. Has no known literary exploits,

3. Has no leadership experience,

4. Has no known sustainable means of livelihood...

take on such gargantuan responsibility as secession?

Upon this premise, the second quote is MOST APPROPRIATE.

Nnamdi Kanu would have remained the unknown and insignificant spec in the universe he was had the "losers" not bore such morbid hatred for their supposed enemy.

Some people argue the president lit the torch of their anger by the "5%" comment. Pray tell, would this be the first time someone made such comment? Didn't Jonathan make similar comment when he was the President? The "igbos are the backbone of my administration" comment, remember that? How many people from the North or South West huffed and puffed about it despite its impropriety?

Now, someone tell me, exactly what advantage has IPOB conferred on the South East since the beginning of their belligerent campaign?

Have more projects gone to the South East?

Have more FDI gone to the region?

Have their governors become more alive to their responsibilities?

Have more appointments been given them?

Do Nigerians love them more?

IPOB has but one agenda alone, chip away at the progress Ndigbo have made over the years in every endeavor they've embarked on individually and collectively.

When I look at what these guys are doing to their brothers, i shudder in disbelief.

Take the small town of Makurdi for instance. The most popular "supermarkets", D. O. Brothers, Togos and Nobis, are owned by Igbos. They own the biggest shopping plazas, Ndupet, Merit, O. G. Winners, Tonimas, etc. They are the biggest wholesale distributors of beverages (OFICON). Etc.

I can only imagine what's going on in such big cities as Kanu, Kaduna, Lagos, Abuja, etc.

What strategy of relocation does IPOB have for these people.

You know what they say about "a man who's got nothing to lose"... A most dangerous man. With no known means of livelihood or investments anywhere, Nnamdi Kanu fits the bill for such a character.

Cornered, bruised and humiliated, they've decided inflammable propaganda is the best way to go. The outbreak of Monkey Pox and the military medical outreach presented them with the opportunity to take another pound of flesh out of "their people" (I put it this way because I believe Neither the president nor the soldiers lost a thing from the events of the last one week, rather, school children did).

But for this silly hoax, one would have thought these people who profess to be very educated and enlightened didn't know we have professional doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, etc, in the military!!

How sad.

How an enlightened people could believe a government intent on depopulating them would go about doing so under the full glare of the public using such overt means as injection beats me. More disturbing is the fact their leaders have chosen to keep mum over it.

Let it be known to all who care to listen, the Federal Government of Nigeria won't be blackmailed into treating any particular group of Nigerians "differently".

Maya Angelou once said "Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet." That held true then, it holds true now, and it will for centuries to come!

Just like Boko Haram, IPOB has succeeded in bullying into silence moderate and sensible Igbos, but just like my friend on facebook, Gozicon Munachi, it is time for these moderate elements to grow some balls, step up to the medium and salvage what is left of the political and moral patrimony of Ndigbo. Failure to do this would have very far reaching self inflicted negative consequences.

The FFKs of this world would hardly make any difference should things deteriorate any further even though they play very critical role in their escalation. Folks like him have the noose around their necks already, and would do whatever it takes to make sure that noose comes off, it doesn't matter how many lives they sacrifice in the process, just as long as it isn't their family members'.

Even the all knowing and "omnipotent" Ohamadike was nowhere to be found when shiit hit the fan. He still isn't!

This day, I extend a hand of friendship to my Igbo brothers. We may disagree on a whole lot of issues, but we could always do so with mutual respect and courtesy. I hardly agree with whatever folks like Truckpusher or Tonyebarcanista say, but we respect some unwritten rules of engagement. I believe we can at well do the same.

Let us make the most of the union while it lasts. The only people that stand to benefit from the chaos that might ensue from our constant bloodbaths are the elites. If you ask me, they represent our common adversaries irrespective of their tribe, political inclination and religion.

Thanks and have a productive week ahead.

In Africa hate speech did not start with d Rwanda genocide it began in Nigeria.Check ur history properly on South West Reps abusing North Reps before independence and calling them all sort of names. Also check the retribution by the North by the likes of Alhaji Inuwa immediately after d SW Lagos incidence. Also check the ones by the leaders in d North on the Igbos and the genocide before the Civil war not to mention the hate speech during d civil war. Also check Buhari hate speech tha led to the death of educated corp members , the one he mentioned baboons and monkeys blood.How would u feel if one of ur family members was among those murdered by his hate speeches.How about the hate speeches before 2015 election by the APC members.Please cure urself of hatred on South East.
Why dont u reason with this,despite all the rallies embarked by Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB and the attack on the govt not a single skin was scratched.What does that tell u? One that NK and IPOBIANS r law abiding and more learned democratically than u when compared to ur demand and support for war and murder and their support and call for referendum.
The fact that some of us have right to key board should not reduce our intellect.

He was d greatest man that ever came from our black world.His spirit lives on.Say no to slavery say no to injustice and say yes to freedom.For who support d murder of freedom fighters they should know that d blood spewed on d ground will breed millions who would continue d struggle.As for me I belong to that struggle.

That's great.

Clerverly:
President Muhammadu Buhari was granting approvals for oil deals to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation during the time he was on his sick bed in London – and when he had relinquished presidential powers to his Vice President – the head, Maikanti Baru, has indicated.

Mr. Baru said Mr. Buhari approved at least two separate oil contracts on July 10 and July 31 worth $1 billion and $780 million, respectively.
The N640.8 billion contracts (at N360/$ exchange rate) were approved when Mr. Buhari was receiving treatment for undisclosed ailments in London, and when he was not supposed to be exercising presidential powers, having named Vice President Yemi Osinbajo acting president in a formal correspondence to the National Assembly.
Mr. Buhari was flown to London on May 7, barely two months after he returned from his first 2017 medical vacation which saw him spend 50 days in the United Kingdom.

On May 9, a letter Mr. Buhari wrote to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and President of the Senate notifying them that he had relinquished presidential authorities in accordance with the Nigerian Constitution was read on the floor of both chambers.
Despite rumours of his early return, Mr. Buhari ultimately spent 103 days receiving treatment in London, returning on August 19.
On August 21, the president notified the National Assembly of his return in writing, saying he had “resumed” his “functions as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with effect from Monday, 21st August, 2017.”
THE CONTRACTS


But on Monday, Mr. Baru revealed that Mr. Buhari had been exercising presidential powers by granting approvals for NNPC joint venture contracts when he was supposedly on his sickbed and not exercising presidential powers.
Mr. Baru gave details of the contracts as follows:

(CNL refers to Chevron Nigeria Limited, SPDC to Shell Petroleum Development Company and JV to Joint Venture).
The disclosures were made when the NNPC responded – on behalf of Mr. Baru – to the allegations of contract fraud and insubordination raised by Ibe Kachikwu.
Mr. Kachikwu, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, had in an August 30 memo to Mr. Buhari said Mr. Baru unilaterally approved contracts without recourse to him or the NNPC board, amongst other concerns. The memo surfaced on social media on October 3, sending ripples through the country’s polity.
On October 9, the NNPC responded to Mr. Kachikwu’s allegations by publishing the above contract details, which it said was at the instance of Mr. Buhari, who had kept mum since the scandal broke.
But a look at the dates of the three contracts shows that two of them received presidential approval on dates Mr. Buhari was not in the country, July 31 for the second contract with Chevron Nigeria and July 10 for the contract with Shell. Mr. Baru’s name was placed against the contracts as the person who administered the contract in his capacity as the Group Managing Director of the NNPC.

Only the September 1, 2015, contract which Mr. Kachikwu oversaw during his tenure as the GMD of NNPC received presidential approval on a date Mr. Buhari was in the country and wielding presidential powers.
A compilation of Mr. Buhari’s travels reveals that he was in the country from early August 2015 when he returned from Cotonou until September 7 when he visited Accra.
But while it is clear that the presidential approval granted when Mr. Kachikwu was the head of NNPC happened when Mr. Buhari was exercising presidential powers; it appeared like Mr. Baru received his approval when Mr. Buhari was in London.
GETTING OSINBAJO’S CONSENT
In his memo to Mr. Buhari, Mr. Kachikwu stated that when Mr. Buhari was unwell in London for several months between May and August, Mr. Baru tried to get direct approval from Acting President Osinbajo for some personnel changes at the NNPC.


But Mr. Osinbajo asked Mr. Baru to go back to Mr. Kachikwu and get his input and approval first before making the changes. Mr. Baru refused to consult Mr. Kachikwu on that.
For weeks, the changes were not made, until Mr. Buhari returned on August 19. By August 29, Mr. Baru announced the changes.


When PREMIUM TIMES reminded him of potential legal implications of Mr. Buhari exercising presidential powers even when he had relinquished same in accordance with the constitution, Mr. Ughamadu dug his heels in.
“Presidential approval is presidential approval,” the spokesperson insisted.

For several hours on Tuesday, presidential spokespersons Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, did not respond to PREMIUM TIMES’ requests seeking their comments about this and other problematic parts of the NNPC revelations.
Sola Adebawo, Director of Communications at Chevron, did not immediately respond to PREMIUM TIMES’ requests for comments Tuesday evening. His counterpart at Shell Nigeria, Bamidele Odugbesan, simply told PREMIUM TIMES to “direct enquiries to relevant government authorities.”
Maikanti Baru
Yet, the N640.8 billion oil contracts might not be the only one Mr. Baru got Mr. Buhari to approve while he was still unwell in London.

#Buhari's false anti-corruption fight

Muha mmadu Buhari started his anti corruption crusade with $2.1bn Dasukigate, Sambo Dasuki was arrested, Raymond Dokpesi, Fani Kayode, Musuliu Obanikoro, Olisa Metuh, and Reuben Abati were also arrested in connection with Dasukigate.
.
While the government was busy wanking and masturbating with the gale of arrests and media frenzy that trailed the episodic drama, Dasuki opened up that Buhari also benefited from the $2.1bn arms fund,
.
Dasuki reveled that he bought 2 bulletproof SUVs for Buhari from the money, he also gave him $300,000 from the same money, But Buhari denied collecting any money from Dasuki, he said he only got 2 bulletproof SUVs form him as his entitlement being a former head of state.
.
Muhammadu Buhari forgot that former heads of state entitlements have never come from the office of the NSA before but office of the SGF, they said those accusing Buhari are the corrupt people fighting back. And that was how Dasukigate died a natural death.
.
The allegation of MTN N500m bribery scandal involving Buhari's Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari popped up. Tukur Buratai's multi million dollars Dubai mansions were uncovered.
.
Abdurrahman Dambazau arms procurement fraud and estate bought in Boston, USA was revealed.
.
Rotimi Amaechi's several attempts to bribe Supreme Court justices to give APC favorable election judgment were exposed.
.
Kayode Fayemi's corruption allegation also came up, but Buhari shamelessly told the whole world that all the corruption allegation leveled against people in his government are false because he checked them before appointing them.
.
Then the Senate exposed how the then SGF, Lawal Babachir used N570m to cut grass in IDP camps, Buhari's government cleared him of any wrong doing.
.
The government also cleared Ibrahim Magu of the weighty corruption allegations leveled against him, in fact, Muhammadu Buhari officially wrote the Senate that both men are clean.
.
Then the Ikoyi orphaned money once again exposed how corrupt this government is.
He suspended Babachir that he cleared twice of the same allegation.
.
Up till this moment the report of the probe panel is not known to the public.
.
A witness told the court that Buhari's lawyer who was representing him in the certificate suit gave the presiding judge, Justice Adeniyi Ademola N500,000 at the period the case was still on but they said it wasn't a bribe but a gift. Just recently one of Buhari's ministers, Ibe Kachikwu tactically exposed the biggest single corruption case in the history of this country, a whooping $25bn fraud in a government of saints?
.
If Buhari that is the petroleum minister can approve contracts worth $25bn without due process and transparency, then why are we still talking about anti graft war under this government?
.
Former Adamawa state acting governor, James NGILARI was sentenced to 25years jail term for approving an awarded contract of N125m without due process and PMB e-rats called him looters but Buhari approved NNPC N9trn contract illegally and with no due process & you shamelessly still want us to have the impression that he isnt corrupt? Bode George. Was jailed for not following due process (contract splitting).....
.
I know you are pained, dissapointed and embarrassed to have fooled yourselves all along with a Buhari's holier than thou propaganda.
And to those MUMUs still singing Buhari's anti-corruption song, may thunder fire your brains to factory settings.

.
This is serious.For God sake how do we solve this monster problem of corruption?This govt is even worst than Abacha and IBB mega corruption.

I kw from day one this man hated the igbos!!!!!

He s God sent to d Igbos so stop worrying.The wicked Egyptian Pharaoh was instrumental to d exodus of Israelite from Egypt to d promised land.So pray for Buhari to continue bc it s good for d Igbos.It will make them look home give them courage and oneness.

Boyooosa:
No mind d mumu and his ffers wey dey use dis mediocre statement dey gain orgasm. Wetin concern hatred for Igbo concern opposition winning election? Just wan attract clients by all means, people can never patronise, afterall av read from orji uzor kalu today and am contented with my Igbo brothers. B4, I was not seeing a presidentisl candidate from the SE even after a hot debate with my Igbo friend. But now, am glad that there ia hope from dat side. Happy to know that.

Some of u dream a lot.Igbos don't want ur president they want Biafra.Those speaking against Igbos r looking for president of Nigeria.What s in Nigeria president or president?All the presidents produced in Nigeria r corrupt and failure. Is that not a thing to be ashamed of.All Nigerian presidents r imposed candidates from UK&US.Are u not ashamed.Is Ghana like that?Is South Africa like that?Igbos r tied of ur monumental corruption,ethnicity,& religious bigotry.New countries thrive better than Nigeria. We hope Biafra will assist Nigeria in future just like Israel is assisting Egypt & others globally.

Desyner:
If the man of hope can talk all these trash then there is no hope (or a hopeless hope) for Nigeria to ever unite. The man isn't fit to be a President.
For now I am after God and the dead Presidents.

I like Buhari a lot.He s God sent.He s an eye opener to d Igbos never to trust in one Nigeria.He s a courage to d Igbos to fight for Biafra with d whole of their lives.It s an insult to d Igbo elites&for them to support d youths in their quest for Biafra.His speech should be a wake up call and commitment from Igbos in diaspora to support Biafra actualization with all that they v.I pray God will keep PMB like this to 2019 by then Igbos would v leanrt their lessons.Long live Buhari.

I will tell you!

only if you can tell me if the skulls and bones found in Okija shrine in Anambra State were for archeological studies or rituals
and
Why Isiala-Ngwa people of Abia state prefer human flesh as source of animal protein to other animal proteins.

Okija shrine case case around 2004 were decomposing bodies of ppl who died under d curse of d shrine god.Isiala Ngwa issue is an ancient one when some group of hard men fortified themselves with human flesh.All this r history.But d ritual killings in Ogun and other south west states is worrisome. If d ritual is alarming in this modern age I wonder what it was like in precolonial,colonial&post colonial.Some of us lived as kids in Lagos with fear about gbomogbomo.Ritualist along ijaniki badagry road.Once Mecca is approaching u hear announcement of ppl looking for their missing loved ones. Almost all d Alhaji&Alhaja in SW r into skull mining.Fear of picking money on d ground u turn to snake.You know what I'm saying. I mean its worrisome.
