the problem is when people think of the nigerdelta region their mind goes to a poor helpless and uncivilised people. but we are not entirly helpless though many of us dont benefit from the crude oil but we still survive without it so leven if the oil finishes i doubt if we would be die from lack of it

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to recent comments made about by Former President Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to recent comments made about by President Muhammadu Buhari on BBC Hausa.



READ: President Buhari Bashes Jonathan on BBC Hausa
Jonathan spoke through his Minister of National Planning, Dr. Abubakar Suleiman, in a text message sent to PUNCH Newspaper.

He said, “No responsible government would strategise to loose a war. President Jonathan sworn to defend Nigeria sovereignty and territorial integrity and he did everything possible to achieve that height in the fight against the insurgents.

“It is unfair therefore for Mr President to perceive such efforts by his predecessor as criminal and treasonable.

“The President should, in an attempt to build this country, make such pronouncements that would further unite us as a people than that those that would divide us. Posterity will judge everybody.”

PERSONAL OPINION:
I was talking with a friend last night on politics and he let me understandd that Jonathan -though he never served in the military- was the first civilian Periseent to fully equip the army especialy during the time of Boko haram his tenure achived a mile stone in reducing them during this election period as he promised their was massive purchase of arms for Russia, and Dasuki is facing trial for emmblezlement of some funds meant for arms so what TF is he saying about none providing of arms
Even if these alligations were true what has he done in the past 6 months of his tenure to improve upon this . Practically nothing
I welcome opinoins from all

I like u Bruce, but u don't always sound mature

i really didnt see anything immature there - he didnt abuse the guy

the comparision is exact; one thing we Nigerians (passengers) forget is we are the one who contribute to pay "the piper" and to a large extent we control the music. if we raise up and say NO things would change to a large extent. The records are clear as far back as the Aba women's riot that we all have a a say.**But the problem is who wants to be that one 'passenger' that would first voice his displeasure

this pipu no serios

The pro-Biafra protests are not abating; and, for the first time, reached Abuja last week when Kanu the Director of Radio Biafra, was brought before the magistrate’s court. The protests may be fuelled by yet to be identified financiers, but those fanning the embers of secession are youths who have abandoned their various vocations to participate in the protests. Some are doing so for genuine, if misguided reasons. Some, not so genuine. Some might not even be of Igbo origin. But all are unhappy and discontented with their lives and have inadvertently become willing pawns in a complex chess game.

Biafra
After a period of studied but loud silence, the Igbo elders have come out to condemn the protests and by extension, the agitation for Biafra, by listing the many hurdles that await the realisation of Biafra. I don’t think they have gone far enough. The protesting youths need to be educated on the inevitability of war should they continue on this path. And should Radio Biafra continue to denigrate and insult every other tribe in Nigeria, the protesters are going to have many hostile neighbours.
They also need to be made aware of the realistic and pragmatic gains and losses of their actions both in the shorter and longer terms. No divorce, either of marriages or business partnerships or countries is without scars and casualties. The resultant ‘freedom’ is often not worth it.And speaking of marriages, our parents were not any happier in their unions than we are. Yet they largely stuck with them, learnt mutual respect in the process and gave us stable homes in which to develop.
There is no evidence that our lack of tolerance which has led to higher divorce rates has made us happier as individuals and as a society. The UK comprises of four distinct nations. They have been pushing and pulling themselves for as long as I can remember. They are often privately disdainful of one another. But they realise in their wisdom, that the components cannot be better or greater than the whole. So it is with Nigeria. The recent history of the Soviet Union, Sudan and other countries that have had to balkanise themselves because of unresolved internal contradictions are there for all to learn from.
Let us assume today, that Kanu, Nwazuruike and their army of young Turks succeed in their wish to have Biafra. Would it all be gloom and doom for the rest of the country? I think not. Yes, the country would lose a valuable and vital piece of the tripod that had sustained the country. It would probably lose that section of the country that is most disposed to entrepreneurship in commerce and industry. It would also no longer be able to bask in the glory of their contributions in the diaspora.
But it is not as if the crown jewel has been taken away and the rest of us are ordinary stones or mere shafts as the radio Biafra propaganda wants people to believe. The vast in-road they have made in trade and commerce all over the country is because their host ‘nations’ have been accommodating and have provided a level playing field. This, of course would stop. In any case, it has hardly been reciprocated in Igbo land. The Igbos for all the noise, don’t believe in inclusiveness.
Or put another way, they don’t share well. I was once involved in a national newspaper where the admin manager was Igbo who was responsible for hiring the clerical staff. Before I knew it, all the cleaners, typists and messengers were from a particular part of the country. I had to tell him that were the owner of the paper like him, neither he nor I would have been employed in the first place since the owner was neither Igbo nor Yoruba.
Another important issue to consider is where the territory would be. Some of the maps I have seen include the states in the old South-Eastern region. One even includes the Idomas of North-Central! It is instructive that leaders of the South-South have dissociated themselves from the partition as the fear of ending up as minorities with a dominant partner is ris real. This was one of the many causes that the late Isaac Boro fought for. One South-South leader cynically told me ‘they will have to conquer us if they want us to be part of them’. This leaves the core Igbo land which is essentially landlocked.
But more importantly, having your own State like marriage, is in itself a journey not a destination. Nothing is to say that you are all going to live together happily ever after. Nothing is to say that one section is not going to feel maginalised by the other sections. This message is also to those who are angling for Oduduwa Republic. They should remember that the Yoruba have fought themselves in the past and could still do so. Sometimes, what unites you can also divide you.
At the end of the day, what the restfulness in the various sections of the country is all about is the callous way our leaders have wasted the tomorrow of our youths. For years we have stated the need to run an inclusive, transparent system that is not based on ethno/religious considerations. One has pushed for merit and a robust engagement of our youths. Now the chicken is coming home to roost. From North to South, the devil is providing tools for the idle hands of our youths.
MASSOB and the other disenfranchised youths from the other zones of the country need to engage the leaders from within. They need to tell them they were elected to improve living conditions for the entire populace and not for themselves alone. They should realise that many of the financiers of protests, riots and killings either live abroad or have their families abroad.
The country on its part should cede some autonomy to the zones. Let the different nationalities develop at their own paces. We have run the unitary form of government now for over 40 years and it really hasn’t worked. That is not to say that it is the only solution to the problem of the country. Our problem is the attitude of the leaders to governance and it is not likely to change whether we have Oduduwa Republic or Republic of Biafra.
The hope is that zonal autonomy will create inter zonal competition which will in turn bring development to the people especially the youths. It is only a hope.

the prominent lawyer and elder statesman Tunji Braithwaite has criticised the anti-corruption war tactic used by President Muhammadu Buhari which permits looters to quietly return their loot without being prosecuted.


President Muhammadu Buhari

Braithwaite said this when he reacted to a statement credited to the president when he visited Iran. Buhari had said that many of those who stole public funds in the immediate past government had started returning the funds without giving further details on their names and amounts returned.

The respected legal luminary who was also a former presidential candidate, lamented a situation where government allowed corrupt former government officials to go scot-free after returning loot. He described such acts as a bigger crime than the actual act of stealing the funds

Braithwaite expressed his displeasure on Thursday, November 26, in a chat with The Punch where he accused the president of allegedly promoting impunity by reaching plea bargains with looters without sticking to his initial stance of total justice.

The human rights lawyer said: “It is a crime against the state for anybody to steal public funds. Returning stolen funds quietly without being sanctioned is even worse than the crime of stealing the money. This is morally reprehensible and it can never serve as a deterrent to other corrupt politicians who might want to steal public resources.

“Buhari is pampering those corrupt leaders by just obtaining looted funds and not jailing them. With all the bragging and the promises he made during the campaign, we expected that his war against corruption will be rootless. These public thieves carted away our national assets and in the process, impoverished many Nigerians. Corruption is also responsible for the infrastructural decay we are experiencing. The roads are bad and many Nigerian youths cannot find jobs.”

He said it was possible to recover looted funds and still make corrupt officials face the full wrath of the law.

Braithwaite said: “I think it is morally reprehensible for any government to let those returning stolen funds to go scot-free. Buhari must mention their names and stop pampering them. Corruption has robbed us of valuable infrastructure and the opportunity to develop as a country.

“I once had a similar case and the criminals were convicted while the stolen funds were traced and recovered. So it is possible to recover stolen funds and prosecute those involved. He should prosecute the thieves, trace the stolen funds and enforce restitution of the public resources. Not mentioning their names is tantamount to pampering them.”

Meanwhile, Buhari has accused some judges of frustrating his efforts to recover funds stolen by previous administrations.

The president added that he was disturbed more than ever because the allegations of judicial corruption have become more strident and frequent.

Criticisms have continued to trail the Buhari-led administration as the fuel crisis lingers with many reminding the President of his earlier criticisms of the Jonathan administration when it faced the same problem.
Ahead of the presidential elections earlier this year, President Muhammadu Buhari tweeted in response to the biting fuel scarcity that plagued the later days of former President Jonathan’s government.
The message reads:

“The countless man hours that will be spent at the petrol station today, will reduce our productivity as a nation. This should not be so. – GMB”

Many who were frustrated by that government felt it was time for CHANGE. Today, the same incidence of fuel scarcity is taking place during the regime of Buhari.
In the same vein, a minister in President Buhari’s administration, Babatunde Fashola urged the then Federal Government to bring down fuel price on December 7,2014 when there was a slump in global oil price during Jonathan’s regime.
With the dwindling price of crude oil in the international market, the price of petrol in Nigeria still stands at N87 per litre without any reduction.

Marwa Balkar, a young girl has taken to Facebook to share her views following the recent controversial comments made by Donald Trump regarding ID cards for Muslims.

Donald Trump had suggested registering all Muslims onto a separate database, forcing them to carry special ID cards, and carrying out extra surveillance on mosques.

22-year-old Balkar, a young Muslim girl from Corona, California, has taken Trump’s views into consideration, and has decided to put her own personal span on his proposed rules.

In an open letter to Trump, Marwa wrote these words:


“Dear @realdonaldtrump,

My name is Marwa, and I am a muslim.

I heard you wanted us to start wearing ID badges, so I decided to choose one for myself. I am not easily identifiable as a #Muslim just by looking at me, so my new badge will let me display proudly who I am.

I chose the peace sign because it represents my #Islam. The one that taught me to oppose #injustice and yearn for #unity. The one that taught me that killing one innocent life is equivalent to killing humanity.

I heard you want to track us as well. Great! You can come with me on my Cancer Awareness walks at the local middle school, or you can follow me to work where it’s my job to create happiness.

You can also see how my local mosque makes PB&J sandwiches for the homeless and hosts interfaith dinners where everyone is welcome. Maybe then, you’ll see that me being Muslim doesn’t make me any less American than you are.

Maybe if you walk in my footsteps, you can see that I am not any less human than you are.

Salaamu alaikum (Peace be unto you)”

A woman walked into a pet shop looking for a parrot to buy. The shopkeeper showed her a beautiful African Red parrot. "What about this one, Madam? A beautiful one, and it's cheap, just 2,000 Naira."
.
"Why is it so cheap?" asked the woman.
.
"Well", replied the Shopkeeper, "It used to live in a brothel (a house for prostitutes) and as a result, its language is bad."
.
"Oh, I don't mind that", said the woman, making her mind up, "I'm broad minded and it'll be a laugh having a profane parrot."
.
So, she bought the parrot and took it home. Once safely in its new home, the parrot looked around and shouts at the woman. "What the F**k?! A new brothel and a new chair lady."
.
"I'm not a chair lady and this is not a brothel!" Scolded the woman, trying not to laugh.
.
A little while later, the woman's two teenage daughters arrived home. "Unfucking-believable! A new brothel, a new chair lady, and now two new prostitutes." said the parrot when he saw the daughters.
.
"Mummy, tell your parrot to shut up, we are not prostitutes." complained the girls.
.
But they all saw the funny side and had a laugh at their new pet.
.
A short while later, the husband came home. The parrot screamed, "What the Bleep?! A new brothel, a new chair lady, two new prostitutes, but the same old customer! How you doing Michael?''

i thought this guy preaches against the british why is he then a British citizen

politicians dt one dey dia blood already hehehehe
nah lecturers corrupt pass o

Pro-Biafra activists recently accused the world leaders, particularly the British government, about the silence over the arrest and detention of one of their citizens, Nnamdi Kanu.

Kanu was in mid-October this year arrested in Nigeria by the country’s secret police (DSS), charged to court where he was granted bail and still remains in DSS custody after meeting all bail conditions.

On his own part, James Duddridge writes that Mr Kanu has been charged with illegally entering Nigeria, conspiracy to incite violence and being the leader of an illegitimate society or group.

The letter reads in part: “Kanu is a dual Nigerian/British national. In cases involving dual nationals in their country of other nationality we do not usually provide consular assistance unless we judge an individual to be particular vulnerable. Following concerns raised by friends of Mr. Kanu to the Foreign and Commonwealth office, including about his well-being and ongoing medical condition, we judged it appropriate in this instance to offer assistance.

“The Nigerian Authorities granted access to our consular team to visit Mr Kanu on 3 November 2015 where he is being detained in Abuja. Mr Kanu has confirmed to us that he has access to a lawyer and that he does not require the British government to make any further representations to the Nigerian Authorities on his behalf. We do, however, intend to make a further consular visit to check on his well-being.”

Pro-Biafra activists have been protesting against Kanu’s detention in different states.

Kanu has finally appeared before an Abuja Magistrate Court over charges bothering on alleged terrorism and sedition on Monday, November 22.

The prosecution counsel clarified that the reason for Biafra leader’s continued detention in the custody of the SSS was his inability to fully meet the requirement for the bail.
