Equivalent to about ₦10 trillion now.
For the population of Nigeria and economic activity then,that was a relatively massive budget.
Wonder what all that money was used for.
Most would have been spent on post war reconstruction and Lagos.

Here one 18 yr old will construct a model of an"aeroplane" that can't fly using planks and scrap metals and some people will be hailing him as the next genius!

SadiqBabaSani:
aThis Governor has taken political Sycophancy to a whole new level, why is he behaving like a school boy?

Edo people are in trouble, this governor will not blink an eye lid before selling Edo State to those Fulani herders terrorists.

How many families of victims of Fulani vicious attacks has the governor compensated in Edo State since he came into power?

Modified: Even if you are trying to douse tensions, must you bow at the feet of people who don't value human lives?

Offer them condolence that should be all, nothing more, issues of compensation should only happen when Northern governors pay compensation for the thousands of lives violent herdsmen have wasted right in our own lands

Most Southern Leaders are fools and cowards. Spittt

He is bringing shame to the South by demanding and pursuing justice for innocent hunters murdered?
You surround a truck with travellers in broad daylight,order the occupants to come down,they obey,arrested them,found hoes and cutlass with few dane guns with them, immediately tag them kidnappers with no single evidence.
Okay,still no problem.
Take them to the police or if you want to claim you don't trust the police,at worst take them to your community chief or king.
No!There and then you murdered 16 of them while people cheered!!
Nothing in this world and the next will justify those killings and the community and the few little kids and very elderly people that have no where else to go will now suffer because of the foolisness of so called vigilantes and some community members.
The question I ask is this:all the while that kidnappers have been rampaging the community,how many have vigilantes caught or killed in the forest?

PresidObi:
The hypocrete didn't utter a whimp when about 40 worshippers were shot to death at a church in Ede, south west Nigeria.

If you are rightfully condemning the Owo incident and equating it to that of Uromi,then it means you agree that they were both carried out by assasins because in both cases,defenceless people were murdered.
That of Owo,peaceful church goers taken unawares.That of Uromi,travellers on transit,after being rounded up!

OBIDIENTNAIJA:
They know where they can try such rubbish and go scot free because they have political backings. Terrorists politicians are their to back them up. They should come to ND and try this rubbish. Make Dem turn to their big brothers ( cows) when they make suya out of them.

Oboy,please how many fulani herdsmen or kidnappers have vigilantes or ND youths killed in a gun confrontation in the forest or during a live kidnapping incident?

Political position and money indeed corrupts.
This same Ubani was a leading advocate of justice,anti corruption and fighting for the common good.
I wouldn't have believed he is capable of such lies.

853km from the airport😕
Lagos to Aba is about 650km.
What is the entire distance length of Abia state?

MartinsD12:
Why are they armed since they are traveling why are they carrying weapons of mass destruction?

So kidnappers move with hoes,cutlass,dogs and dane guns?
How many kidnap victims have the vigilante rescued and how many kidnappers with real guns have they confronted in the forest?

guysbewise:
When the useless mobs see the real kidnappers with AK47 these useless mobs will run away. Why can the mobs not go into the forest where the real kidnappers with AK 47 are operating from.

I'm sure the useless mobs are IPOB that have run away from the SE to Edo State to come and cause their trouble in Edo State.

Don't mind them.
I have asked,since kidnappers started operating in Edo and Uromi in particular,as alleged,why haven't the vigilantes confronted them during the act or gone to the forests to engage them?
Yes,kidnappers just like rapists and armed robbers can test your humanity but these guys have already been surrounded,ordered down and disarmed.
Why not take them to the town chief,if you are not confident the police would not release them?

MartinsD12:
Nobody is asking a wise question what are the 16 northern armed hunters doing in uromi Edo state , is uromi a hunting ground, how are we sure they are real hunters or not terrorist whom ran out of luck meeting Edo state local vigilantee, you expect the vigilante to allow 16 northern men fully armed when insecurities is everywhere killings and kidnapping keeps happening what if these people are kidnappers , truth is they are security threats.

Have you not been reading the stories or you just depend on what agents of tribal division post here on nland?
They were passing through Uromi on their way to the North from Rivers state to celebrate the Sallah.
They packed themselves on a Dangote truck as Northerners usually do,to reduce costs and have a sense of community and security when travelling in such numbers.
One valid point made by a survivor is this:if they were kidnappers, why would they be so foolish to pass through the community town in a truck they know they could easily be stopped and apprehended and in broad day light!

14 people arrested is an insult!
This is human lives we are talking about,14 human lives killed like cows with community agreement.Many members of the community hailed and cheered and even mocked as these innocent aboki hunters were roasted like cows
The community bears collective guilt and deserve community punishment.
How could not one person in that mob voice concern and pleaded that they be taken to the police station or at least the chief of the town!

That community should be taken over.
This is collective guilt and murder because from the narration,it seems it was members of the community that raised the false alarm of the hunters being kidnappers and every other person present acquised and took part in the broad day light gruesome murder.
The police should seal the community.
It's not enough for just 14 people to be arrested,it was a community arrest,prosecution,judgement and execution!
The same people they labelled as kidnappers have been active in the community according to their defence,so while hasn't the vigilante entered the forests to confront the kidnappers who usually operate with AK 47,but yet now showing their overzealously on disarmed travellers?

I am still doubting this barbarity because been on X trying to read about this story,but nothing.
If this is true,is posted on X and goes viral,people living in that axis of Uromi should just find another place to live for the next few months at least because the government would be under pressure to act both internally from Northerners and externally from international human right organisations and governments and unfortunately the only way Nigerian governments right from the days of Obasanjo know how to react to such events is to use the military to raze towns down.
I am still hoping for the sake of Uromi people,that it's not true

Bendeco02:
Oga calm down, you know the security challenges on ground now. Why would normal people travel all the way from North to South to hunt?

Is there any paper approved by government to show vigilante groups or villagers when you encounter them?

Can you carry dane gun and enter katsina forest for hunting?

Just read what you typed.Just read!
Let's even assume they are kidnappers(which I don't even believe),is killing them not utter foolishness,asides being barbaric?
You arrest kidnappers,you ask them questions to know sponsors,if others etc,to prevent future attacks.
But this kidnapping tale is pure fabrication by the vigilantes and community to justify these barbarity;kidnappers would be dropped way off the community town,from there they make their way to the forests to plan any so called kidnapping.
The community should get ready for what awaits them because even God will punish them for this outright murder!

Prechgold1180:
Media and lies. I am from edo

See the truck driver was asked what was the content of his trailer. He said he was carrying cements. The local security men checked and found Fulani men with guns charms and machetes. With the recent rate of Fulani kidnapping in uromi you won’t blame them too much

Nothing justifies the killing of those people,that the community have already caught.
The funny thing is that Fulani herdsmen overrun your farms,rape women,these same vigilantes can't go to the bush or forest to look for them,but have the mind to burn 10 disarmed people,with dane guns!
If army comes to overrun that community now,people will start bringing up tribal talk.

Is this real!
10 people set ablaze!!
No, I still don't believe this is real!!!
Even if they are armed robbers and kidnappers,how can you set 10 human beings you already caught,ablaze!!!
Until the police authenticates this report,i fail to believe.

arsenal33:
Overtaken or taken over?

Just shows you how low journalism practice has sunk.
A major newspaper with reporters and editors can't detect such blatant grammatical error.
Many print media outlets now are more like glorified blogs, it's either they publish gossip as news without doing basic verification or are filled with grammatical errors.
From that same axis,it was Daily Trust that first posted the story of the former customs DG having gone to a bank,withdrew money then got kidnapped and killed!
Even a child would feel there was something off about the story and make some calls around the area where this took place.
No,they just hear a story and rush to publish,that is why there are grammatical errors because no fact checking,no editing.

Jokerman:
All these business loans sef....

Sweet to borrow, tough and hard to repay until it accumulates

That is ehn.
Very risky way to do business.
Paying back loans for businesses is very difficult because any single factor or policy can just upend the business and before you know it one year to start repaying with the enormous interest has reached!
How businesses even make the repayment of these Nigerian bank loans with interest of at least 35% is astounding.

Barteze:
I stopped reading when they mentioned that he is selling communal land. Such a king ought not to stay a day longer if it is establish to be true.

That is ehn!
On no account do communities sell communal land,even families don't sell family lands on no account,even in extreme cases of hunger,unless they have large inherited lands and even after selling,each male family member will still have his own portion of the land remaining.

edochie12:
Am from this community,our king wan sell our land finish

I hope his madness no reach Enugwu Ukwu and Abatete lands?
People I know have told me about this communal land issue with this Owelle.

Manihotspp:
We suffered to Buy our lands only for KOLA DAISI to use late former Governor Ajimobi influence to take the properties ( lands and buildings at Onidundu/Iroko) from us .WE ARE RELENTLESS,SO Pls take away your interest from our land.
Live and let's live

He may have done an illegality for which he deserves to pay,but this has nothing to do with your prayers and curses.
If you believe it was,then whatsover god you serve must be the Devil himself in disguise,for why would your prayers lead not to the death of the person that inflicted your pain,but the innocent wife?
Now she is dead,believe me the Kola Daisi would go and marry another wife,even probably younger and more beautiful and still be enjoying the wealth from the lands he usurped from you people.
Who even tells you it wasn't even his desire for this wife to go for him to enjoy what she may have been blocking by her continued presence in his life?
If your prayers and god really works,harm should be on the man directly,not wife,siblings or inlaws!

2cribz:
42 never old.why die young at uk

Maybe one of those incurable diseases or cancer that has advanced beyond the stage that even the best care can't help any longer.
Same thing with 1 or 2 former top US officials and I think one was the first US black congresswoman who died in the same 40's age range due to cancer.
There are some health issues,even the best of science and medical care still don't have answers for.

yahoodetector:
They said Camry Vehicle. Pencil light is not the only model of Camry the last time I checked.

You wanted to look smart and woke but only ended up disgracing yourself:so you didn't read where pencil light was specifically mentioned or your brain is regressing?
Now tell me sorry.

idahme:
Landmass? Is it what you to determine LGA? Lagos state richer than your whole region combined. My state Rivers state deserves smar LGA like lagos because these two states is the reason Nigeria is still standing. Landmass is useless when it doesn't equate to money for the government

By your own logic,it means Lagos Island alone should have about 10 LGAs and when the new Eko Atlantic city is finished with most businesses and even embassies having headquarters there,that one too will become a LG,Eko Atlantic LGA?

Dead on arrival.
Before such bill will be passed,other states would demand the number of lgs also be increased.
They cannot pass such bill in isolation unless it's now zombies that are present in both houses.

So with all the millions they stole,it was pencil light one of they could buy?
It could however,be possible that the Nigerian police confiscated other assets and failed to disclose it,so that the officers involved can collect those secretly.
They would have either threatened or told the fraudsters they would get lenient terms or even scots free if they corporate about the hidden assets and agree to forfeit them directly to the officers involved in the case.

I have no doubt Natasha is saying the truth about sexual harassment and advances from Akpabio,but the fact remains she is not doing it as a fight for morality or trying to make Akpabio and men in his class pay for their sexual crimes.
Natasha is doing this because there was disagreement or reneging of a sort of understanding she had with Akpabio likely over commitee positions or contract issues.
Akpabio probably promised her a lucrative commitee chairmanship or contract in exchange she going down with him.
Both sides reneged on their part of the agreement,hence each is now using tools or evidence at their disposal to bring down each other.
Both are not upright,both are carrying out their actions purely for selfish reasons.

Preposterous duplication of function and waste of funds!
The thing to do is let INEC oversee all elections including the LG that governors now use as compensation tools.
Change the calendar and make LG elections nationwide to hold 2 years into the tenure of the presidency,a sort of mid term election and each tenure should also be for 4 years.
This way,you have a free, fair election and a sort of assessment of the performance of the president half way into his tenure.
It also makes the LG responsive because each candidate knows they can't rely on the bandwagon effect of having their election hold same period as that of the National and state

That goal keeper that is always showing himself has conceded a cheap goal!

Let the blame game start.
Just watch as people that praised the new coach to high heavens suddenly change their tones!
Dindirins!!

ArchEnemy:
Maybe coaches ain't the only problem afterall.
Technical abilities, skills and decisions of the players also have a long way in determining outcomes

Exactly.
