He will be used as a scapegoat, useless Terrorist I thought he said he was no more Nigerian, that he was now his colonial master’s slave? So why are these hypocrites begging for the foreigner? Let British Government come & beg us with debt forgiveness if they are serious.

Simdyofficial:
Whether they like it or not- MNK will come out and continue the fight for the liberation of his people- The road to freedom is rough and tough- MNK knew this since day 1. The north will turn to graveyards if southern Nigeria breaks away from it- No sane human will see what this evil govt is doing and still think of One Nigeria.

No problem he can remain in DSS solitary confinement & continue with his viva Biafra struggle, best of luck, beg from now till Nri, he is going to Federal Prison in Benue State for a long time.

ReoCoker:

vanbonattel:


When you were supporting a demented man, you didn't know it will come to this?

You are not even qualified to be a house help to the demented man, anyone can spill thrash on social media.

KingEverest:
is another one we are getting there b4 buhari leaves office Afghans might be laughing at us

Almijirin everything President Buhari, what of your Governor & Local Government Chairman that were elected under the same system as the President?

What happened to your Local Vigilantes, will you not ask your Governor & Local Government Chairman What they did with the security votes they receive every month from Abuja? Or you want the peoplenin Abuja to do it, so that it will give you another reason to wail witch hunting?

This language map shows what the coast may have looked like perhaps a thousand years ago.

In the map there are 47 languages scattered across the coast. Out of that 47 about 42 were either partly formed from Igbo and other languages or have Igbo descent. This may support the fact that many other tribes met the Igbos on the coast and thus were influenced by the enduring Igbo tongue as they stayed close to the Igbos. Also many were formed by one Igbo ancestor and another non Igbo ancestor. Check Yakurr ethnicity.

If Igbo impacted so much languages it is likely they were the biggest tribe around. Much much much bigger than Nigeria wants people to believe. There is reason to believe that the Igbo tribe occupied an area far and wide into present day Yorubaland. And a recent research by an Igbo linguist Maazi Ogbonna Okoro revealed that the Igbo area still stretches far into Kogi state to the North. If the Igbo area was so large it is only probable that they occupied the nearly the entire coastline down south. Along with the Efik people(another very old tribe). These other small tribes along the coast with languages numbering near 50 probably came around later on from external migrations. Or may have been brought by Igbos from their far journeys in other lands. There is also the possibility they existed in their area all the while with the Igbos but didn't have the vigoristy or influence of the Igbos, and the Igbo wide population spread didnt allow them grow in population much. Those who are big today absorbed a lot of Igbos and it shows in their large number of Igbo speakers today.

You must be blind? The igbos are the interior people, which 5 present Eastern states is on the coast of the map?

SlayerForever:
Before God and man I have never met an Ijaw person before.

They assimilate easily, they are very easy going people, pay no heed to some Misconstrued Children on Nairaland that know nothing.

jaxxy:
Igbos are very confused and conflicting people.

She needs to tell some mumus want they want to hear to remain relevant. Why did she not mention this then when she was the Ambassador to Spain under pdp? She should have rejected Nigerian appointment & sort Biafra Republic High Representation?

killmods:
Still a sweet woman

Former miss Nigeria

Aufbauh:
I'll only take those Biafra agitators seriously after 2023. If they can sustain the tempo of this their agitation after Buhari's exist then I'll personally support them.

What I detest and it's unacceptable is the agitation borne out of anger and bitterness that the person you supported loss an election.

PDP LOST ELECTIONS IN 2015 AND OTHER NIGERIANS INCLUDING THE SS WALKED AWAY TO RESTRATEGISE, BUT NOT THE SE. 6 YEARS AFTER THEY ARE STILL ANGRY AND AGITATING.

Which agitation? They should all be shot for disturbing the peace of Nigeria, you are correct they romanced with pdp for 16 years, even giving the former President honorary Igbo citizenship Jonathan Ebele Goodluck Azikiwe aka JEGA, then pdp was sweeting them, immediately they lost, we want our own country?

Blossom007:

Of course does a person like you expect to see anything good in your life in Nigeria? You will wail till eternity.

Fahdiga:
Video of the killings or.........

Soldier Pikin you hate to hear any positive news about Nigeria? You will peg of High BP because your darling pdp is not smelling Aso Rock anytime soon. General Muhammadu Buhari of APC your father’s former Oga in the Military, will never hand over power to anything Pdp.

micflo28:
You are really ‘DEALING’ with the youths.

Who is the Governor of your state, mention one thing your state has done for you & yours since 1999 to empower your existence? Charity they say begins @ home.

Kingpele:
,though I might not like most of the policy of this government but after reading it through ,I realised this is a good deal for the youths if well implemented..negativity doesn't pay bills,I don't know how u won't doubt negative news about the government but will vehemently doubt any meaningful service from same government, it makes u a negative person..I only pray they are able to pull it through

Negative minded children, na them fool Nairaland pass.

EndBuhariNow:
Olatunde James Temitope Akintonde I thought coneheads no dey do drugs ? Hehehehehe they will bestige this thread like toilet flies but will be highly disappointed... [left][/left] Afonja kwenu

All Nigerian tribes do drugs, but the Chief Traffickers know themselves. Go to South Beach Miami & see drug money in action.

DeMekus:
Unfortunately for you coneheaded structures, the criminal's name is Olatunde James Temitope Akintonde from the brown roof republic of Waste.

American born that has never been to Nigeria in his life, & has no plans? They full there remain.

AlfaSeltzer:
Olatunde James Temitope Akintonde

If it was Olympic gold he had won, we would have heard American Olatunde James Temitope

TheGreatOne90:
I see buhari citing unrest and insecurity for not conducting 2023 election. Nigerians get ready for it

Mumurist.

tutudesz:
Nigeria police force should be scarped and Civil Defence should take over their duty's.

Hope your Father is fit enough?

nzeobi:
Those who went to ojota to eat jollof rice, dance and fool themselves and others about subdidy should cover their faces in shame and apologize.

Imagine if the government had succeeded in deregulation then, by now there's no way that our refining capacity will be upto 250000 litres combined, with jobs created and its positive impact on our foreign exchange but the irresponsible APC members then denied us the opportunity

Had APC as a party been created then in 2012? Nigerians always looking for some else to blame for their own lack of vision & mumurism? Let me take a wild guess, pdp wants to deny you that same opportunity today? You people in Nigeria want to enjoy without any sacrifice by your ancestors & their descendants?

jmoore:
Fuel Subsidy is a solution. He gave examples but Buhari followers can't read.

Why did you not state the examples he gave?

BuharisBoy:
.......

True, We Nigerians believe in the rule of law, let due process take its cause.

Reference:
You are still mentally stuck with production and consumption subsidies mix up.
The price at which we presently import refined products for instance includes a lot of offshore taxes and levies which can be offset with onshore production.

What the poster was alluding to is that government of advanced nations do pay subsidies and I said those subsidies were largely onto industry, not consumption.

The international price of crude is a large determinant but not the only determinant of the landing cost of PP's and government can work with Dangote for instance to support production and stabilise the price of the crude he buys from them. The United States does this very well by its huge crude reserves which it tops up when prices are low and releases them to its local refineries when prices go high. That is a form of production subsidy via hedging.

Nonsense go back & study economics 101 again, in simple & plain English Fuel Subsidy must be removed. Everything that has a beginning, must also have an end.

Let those our corrupt siblings NANS shut down the nation, aren’t they the ones that will suffer the consequences? Pdp tried to do it 10 years ago they agitated, today they are still suffering from their mumurism.

spacechuks:
Fuel subsidy or not,

Why should we pay through our nose for what we have in our soil,

Especially, the Niger deltans , why should we pay high amount for what is deposited free in our soil,

It's a pity , useless leaders since independence,

When the oil dries up, you people will buy PMS at N5000 per litre,

Useless country

Like you said given free, that you lazy minded people refused to add any value to, has now turned to a liability. Jonathan tried to remove subsidy the lazy NANS they complained, 10 years after President Buhari wants to do the right thing, they still complain?

If they had done the right throng 10 years ago, we would have been out of this quagmire by now, you don’t want to sacrifice, but what to reap the benefits of the spoils of prosperity?

Reference:
If you are not willing to pay a fair price for petroleum products then it will remain scarce because no one will invest in it.
I always use this example:

If you plant yams for a living, the only benefits your profession will accrue to you is access and availability to yams constantly.
Anytime you take one out of the yam barn to eat you incure a cost that MUST BE RECOVERED if not down the line you will run out of yams.
Nigeria's oil reserves only gives us access and availability. It does not not give us the latitude to consume it at any cost because it requires production at the least.

The fact that we have been consuming it for decades while not paying a fair price to keep production going is the main reason why three decades ago all the refineries collapsed. It is the reason why only Dangote is venturing albeit with so much difficulty.

I usually ask folks.
How do you define water, a social commodity?, an essential commodity?, an industrial commodity?. a commercial commodity.....
Afterall it is God given, it is found almost everywhere on earth but there is no one on earth who will not invest in water one way or the other to have and use it, so it is not free and i will be damned if people go round giving free water anywhere from rural villages to urban mega cities.

Nigerians should wake up to the realities of what makes societies work, develop and prosper and learn to build their country in the knowledge that nothing of value comes cheap or free.

Brilliant, but your kinsmen will not listen, for lack of vision the people perish.

Reference:
Those subsidies you speak about in other climes are mainly production subsidies where government supports industries with cash, credit, waivers, patronage, etc.

What you are asking to be sustained in Nigeria is consumption subsidies which is inherently problematic as it directly confronts government revenues, they require instant and constant resource deployment and can only be sustained by cash (scarce foreign exchange) in our case which puts massive pressure on the naira.

That is why most who sit on the fence about this subsidy debacle say, repair the refineries first so that the subsidies go to the refinery operators to 'incentify' them to keep prices low. And because production subsidies are not necessarily cash driven the fear of products driven across the borders will abate.

It should be of concern to every citizen of this country that part of the reason our naira continues to weaken is because we are essentially subsidising a good chunk of the economies of our west african neighbours via cheap gasoline.

Fixing the refineries will not end anything, Nigeria cannot keep paying below market price, then expect government to pay the subsidy, Government has said they have had enough, they can’t continue with this system that has gotten them no where in the last 40 years.

Dangote also gave them a hint, that when his refineries come on stream late 2022, he will charge @ the international priced rate of refined crude.

sakanifemi123:
Nigeria government like to be inflicting suffering upon suffering to the masses, I don't know guilt of the people that made them to be inflicting more pains on people that elect them to hold the power. They have not remove subsidizes fuel, things don cost, what if remove it now, well maybe they are encouraging more criminals in the country

Petroleum subsidy & electricity tariffs must be removed, if they like let them demonstrate from now till they turn 70 years of age, Zombies from a Lazy Nation of people that refuse to think out the box & work.

University of Port Harcourt or Ibadan? Does Uniport have a Zoo?

Christistruth00:
The Saudi’s had Sheikh Gumi Securely locked up in Jail for links to Terrorists when Goodluck Jonathan’s Government went to Pressurise the Saudi’s to release Gumi by fire by force

GEJ did many good things but the release of Sheikh Gumi from Prison was one of the very bad things that GEJ did

On the PJ flight back home after his release from Saudi with his pdp people, welcome celebration with Atiku @ Pdp HQ Wadata House Abuja.
