So many groups are now in the kidnapping business.

This is what those who chose to negotiate and pamper criminals failed to understand.

It will only get worse. Too bad!

Reform you say? For how long? Till he runs out of the cash he collected?

I can't believe the level of naivete of many Nigerians.

By the way who perpetrated the stupid injustice he is fighting against? The poor kids he picked off the classrooms? Leaving the elites and politicians who corner the wealth of the land for themselves and families, without a single thought for the citizens.

The fact is, he is a bloody coward, an opportunist and a criminal, and you the is advocating amnesty is no different.

All those who support the evil that is carried out against the Nigerian people will never go unpunished.

thebosstrevor1:
i like his honesty and courage, he is not a coward like that one that ran to london.

He is fighting against injustice.

An amnesty will be granted to him....may God bless him for reforming

Oldiesgoodies:
Why not use Radio Nigeria, even their slogan says ”uplifting the people, uniting the nation “ or something like that

Something is off!

Exactly! Radio Nigeria, Voice of Nigeria and other government owned stations can serve the purpose. All they need to do is to create programmes and information specifically target at the herdsmen.

The fact is either this government is downright insensitive to the needs of the citizens or it has something very sinister up its sleeves.

As Nigerians watch how all these pans out, it wouldn't hurt to prepare oneself for surprises. This government?

Koolking:
Am qactually disappointed FFK was one of the rulers running Nigeria.


Clearly, if we look at the bigger pictures, ranching will ameliorate the clashes between nomadic farmers and crop farmers. It will also contribute meaningfully to the Nigeria's economic development and growth. Let shun sentiment and give a try. Government has done it feasibility and cash flow projection.

Building ranches for private businesses with public funds? By the way, why is this the only issue that Buhari and his cabal have consistently pushed since assumption of office despite other critical and other urgent needs of the people.

Why has he not given such attention to power supply that will directly affect the life of every Nigerian.

The fact is that there's an ulterior motive to this stupid agenda and he might just achieve it because many Nigerians lack the ability to think critically.

Some of you that are saying give land for ranching for peace to rein are like the ostrich that buries its head in the sand. You are only postponing the evil day.

Think deep man, use your brain. Today people have the chance to resist this enslavement but let those ranches be established across the country and in a few years you will be paying tax to stay alive.

She has gone the way of all mortals. May she rest in peace.

President Muhammadu Buhari has announced June 12 as the new date which Democracy Day will be celebrated in Nigeria.

He also conferred a posthumous GCFR title on the late Chief Moshood Abiola.

The President in a tweet on his official handle explained why June 12 will replace May 29. He noted that June 12 is a more symbolic day.

“Dear Nigerians, I am delighted to announce that, after due consultations, the Federal Government has decided that henceforth, June 12 will be celebrated as Democracy Day.

“We have also decided to award posthumously the highest Honour in the land, GCFR, to the late Chief MKO Abiola.

“In the view of Nigerians, as shared by this Administration, June 12, 1993, was and is far more symbolic of Democracy in the Nigerian context than May 29, or even October 1,” his tweet read.


President Buhari also conferred a national honour on Baba Gana Kingibe and recognised late Gani Fawehinmi for his role in the actualisation of June 12 elections.
“Chief Abiola’s running mate, Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe, is also to be awarded a GCON.

“Furthermore, the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi, SAN, a tireless fighter for human rights and democracy, and for the actualisation of the June 12, 1993 elections, will be posthumously awarded a GCON.”

Buhari said further that, June 12, 1993, election was the freest, fairest and most peaceful election since Nigeria’s Independence.

“June 12, 1993, was the day millions of Nigerians expressed their Democratic will in the freest, fairest and most peaceful elections since our Independence. That the outcome of that election was not upheld by the then military Govt does not detract from its democratic credentials,” he said.

The commemoration and investiture, the President added, will take place on Tuesday, June 12, 201,8 a date which in future years will replace May 29 as a National Public holiday in the celebration of Nigeria’s Democracy Day.

The way these guys invent stupid jargons to confuse Nigerians. Everything has to be shrouded in secrecy even when it's not necessary. Technical my foot!

Purewatermeji:
Don't be a bigot and try to understand my point. Christian are becoming intolerant this days all because of the few killings in benue. When boko haram bombed mosques and killed Muslims did we fight? Buhari is doing his best to curb the situation. We need to vote for him in 2019 so he can finish the good works

"Few killings," right? You are a beast. You belong in the wilds, idiot.

Kutis2030:
the real herdsmen I no cannot do dis there must be something behind dis killing in Benue they should investigate themselves.

Exactly! Plus Ortom joins to endorse Buhari for second term. There's something they are not telling Nigerians.

Stop analysing nonsense... See what is going on in social media where proper analysis has been going on

‬: "We must get real. We have challenges with our youth. As a parent and observer I know that the attributes handed over to my generation of ambition, hard work and "go for it based on capability" are lacking in a lot of youth. Most who are educated believe jobs, cars and accomodation etc should be a sina qua none. Where is the pleasure of achievement? Don't let's because we dislike Buhari overlook the drug menace amongst our youth. The risk of this generation not being better than predecessor generation which is the trajectory of contemporary history is quite high.
We cannot and must not allow our political differences to look at the messenger and not the message. Lest we forget amongst these youth are the ones who did tertiary education in tranches and not straight at once (albeit through no fault of theirs), would this not have an impact?
Now I know the quaint Yoruba proverb that "truth is bitter" to be true.
Ultimately listening to the video clip question and answer the question did Buhari lie can be answered faithfully; no, he did not. But, those who have agenda within agenda (and they have rights to this) spun the whole thing to suit them. And made Buhari appear out of touch and senile.
If we have a million successful youth and 10m that are not, that's risk that must be mitigated one way or another. The sooner the better. And the first step is to admit.
................................................
Point by point analysis of what the President said: using simple True or False mathematical mapping

1. Nigeria has a population of over 180million .......True

2a. Over 60% of which is under 30.......True

2b. 60% of 180 million is 108million.........True

2c. therefore, a lot of Nigerians are under 30...........True

3. A lot of this under 30 have not been to school..............True *as late as 2017, UNESCO put the figure of Nigerian youths out of school as 63million, 63 out of 108 is a lot.

So we can affirm that point 3 is true.

*So, up till here, if you are above 30, the President was not referring to you.........True

*If you are under 30 but you have been to school, the president has not referred to you.............True

4. He continues, ''A lot of the people in 3 above sit down and do nothing, expecting free housing, .......

Here we can contextualise that he meant the drug traffickers and drug addicts, area boys, armed robbers, yahooyahoo boys, kidnappers, pipeline vandals and bonkereres, mace thieves and political thugs, killer herdsmen, boko haram arsonists, almajiris, etc.............True

For goodness sake, if you are none of the categories in 4 above, do you have any reason to fray up.........True or False?

It is better you tell us where you belong so that we can appease to your children."

Story for the gods! Buhari was asked about free trade and went off about Nigerian youths being lazy and only being interested in free things

Yeah, you may be correct by a very thin margin in your analysis above, albeit criminal activities some youths get involved in, but a lazy person cannot pull them off. The irony is that many Nigerian youths are doing great and are making the country proud in their own ways but no one hears about them. The deviants are in the news more often and somehow influence the narrative about the entire youth population.

That apart, what has your Buhari done specifically to fix this "overwhelming problem of laziness" among the youths of the country he presides over? There is really no excuse for him to have said that, especially not at that forum.

Third paragraph to the end of your write up, you said we can contextualize that he meant drug traffickers and so on, and I say you can contextualize all you want, the fact is that the man is not informed about the country he is leading (and pretty much of everything he ought to know ) and he doesn't care so continues to make a fool of himself and everyone else.

famosh:
You're obviously not over the defeat of your hero, the disastrous ineffectual buffoon! Why don't you tell him to contest again in 2019 & see if Nigerians now have a different opinion of him!

...and your own hero is the 'effectual buffoon'? So sad that many Nigerians are incapable of critical thinking. Hypocrites everywhere.

freshkpomo:
IMO state governor,Chief Rochas Okorocha have declared his
intention to succeed Buhari as the President of Nigeria.
This he said at a meeting with political stake holders at the
government house in owerri.
He also spoke on how confident he is that his son-in-law will
become the next governor of the state.
“Buhari will win again and again and after Buhari, the
turn will come to south-east and it will be the turn of
Okorocha”.
“Nwosu is the least of the political
children I have trained but I don’t know any of them as much
as I have known Nwosu,” Okorocha said.
“I took him up when he was just nobody and he grew to the
height he is now, his only sin is that he is my son-in-law.
“Nwosu will win in 2019, don’t be afraid, I am there”.
https://www.freshstuffs.com.ng/2018/04/okorocha-opens-up-on-his-plan-to_16.html?m=1

Nigerians have really suffered! Let's just assume that this is possible, for the country to fall into the hands of Rochas just after the tsunami called Buhari. I am already shivering with fear just thinking about it. In one word, 'calamity '.

actiondrilling:
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned Wednesday morning’s invasion of the Senate chambers by some hoodlums who took away the mace.

In a statement issued by APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdulahi, the ruling party whose member, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, was alleged to have sponsored the attack, described it as an attack against democracy.


“The attention of the APC has been drawn to the invasion of the Nigerian Senate by suspected thugs who disrupted Wednesday’s plenary and made away with the mace.

“The APC hereby condemns this action and views it as an attack on our democracy and a desecration of the hallowed institution of the National Assembly.

“We therefore call on security agencies to take all necessary actions to recover the stolen mace and ensure that the perpetrators and their sponsors are brought to justice,” it said.

Soro mmuo gbuo mmadu, soro mmadu gaa izo! Ndi ara.

The best gift the youths can give this country is mobilize and send this APC propagandists and liars packing. All they do is insult the sensibilities of the people at every opportunity.

Just like in another thread where Buhari just stood before the Commonwealth Heads of Government to say that Nigerian youths are lazy. I really can't get over that.

I may not have been around the world to compare with other nations, but most Nigerian youths are very resourceful and industrious. They struggle against all odds in a country that has very little to offer them. Yet someone who can not be said to be as good as the average Nigerian youth badmouths an entire populace.

It's just sad.

Realcash224:
Many are still wandering despite huge security screening at the red chamber of National assembly, some political thugs still have their way to carry out an ugly act and a treat to democracy.
Ekiti state governor Ayo Fayose has condemn the incident @ the upper chamber today; according to the statement on his twitter page, fayose say's "Shamefully embarrassing that for the first time since 1999, the National Assembly was invaded by thugs and the Senate Symbol of Authority taken away. Only thugs with Presidential backing could have carried out that treasonable act & those involved must be treated like coupists."

My thoughts exactly. A bird that is dancing in the middle of the road boldly without any fear, it's drummer is close by. T

MDsambo:
Some Nigeria's christians are very stupid. They'll now turn this into religious issue. We all know that Boko Haram is not an Islamic organization but confuse humans. They kill Muslims, they abduct Muslims, they raid Muslims communities and they do attack mosque also. So pls stop acting as if you're their only victims.

You call Christians stupid, I won't try to pay you back in your own coin by insulting you. However, we know that Boko Haram is Muslim so don't try that your incoherent logic. Karma is the reason they began to kill their fellow Muslims....somewhere along the line.

Nkepris:
Reporting live from Onitsha.

As a result of the rumour that Nigerian Army gave a deadly vaccine to school children in Ozubulu killing school pupils, parents in onitsha have left their place of work. They all rush to the school gates banging and demanding that their children be let free. A woman even rush to a school unclad. Some schools opened their gate and students were running helter skelter.

When i asked a parent what was happening he said Nigerian Army wants to kill all the biafran children so that the history of biafra will die.

But funny enough all these were caused by a mere rumour( according to my source in Ozubulu)

Coal City FM just had a telephone interview with Col. Musa, spokesman of 82 Div. He's in Ozubulu venue of the Army Health Outreach and he says even d Anambra Comm. For Health is there.

There is NO immunization going on for Monkey Pox - no vaccine exists for it.

Let's help STOP d panic please.

obailala:
Bro, Chinakwe's tribe or his decision to be termed Deltan or Anioma instead of Igbo doesn't really have any bearing on this case. The point I tried to stress on this thread is that Hausas are like sacred cows simply because their leaders treat them as such when it involves a case with non-hausas. I am sick and tired of hearing this age long nonsense of Hausas being treated like first class citizens while others are not. Whose fault is it that Hausa leaders care about their people while non-hausa leaders (especially southerners) don't?

The other day the paedophile Yinusa was granted bail and the poor abokii boy was flown first class back to Kano on sponsorship of a northern elite (he probably has never been on a plane in his life). The other day hausa miscreants who were arrested in Lagos following a rampage were all bailed and given stipends by senator kwankwaso. But here we are today, Chinakwe a Delta man who hasn't committed any crime is being detained for a silly case of 'provocation' but not a single leader or elite from his region thinks they should step in. Then we come online and see supposedly educated southerners wailing and gnashing their teeth about how Hausas are treated like kings and instead of directing this anger to the southern leaders, they choose to throw insults at the north for being responsible to their citizens.

Apparently down south, our leaders never fight for the people, rather it is the people who foolishly fight for the personal interests of the leaders whenever they are embroiled in one corruption case or the other.

..........and we forget the silver lining that enhaces the so-called brotherhood and unity, it's their culture-like religion which is intricately woven into politics.

It's really more complex than we want to believe.

But I do agree with you that political leaders in the South are not near as protective of their constituents. Their ineptitude does not only manifest in this issue but in so many other areas compared to their Northern counterpart, but that's a story for another day.

Op, there should have been a warning about the graphics.

May their souls rest in peace.

I just hope the authorities should wake up to the seriousness of these wanton killings.

And so what? people will write anything just because of the hatred they have for PMB.
its because of write up like this and sentiments that we're where we are today. Its unfortunate, unfortunate for people that have this type of mentality.
Am a Christian and I'm not a northern but won't subscribe to this type of mentality.

Playing the ostrich or burying our heads in the sand is the major reason our leaders do as they please without respect to our sensibilities as citizens.

We ought to speak out when things are going wrong, not to insult or vilify but to get them corrected.

So I don't go with that your "so what ".

We were promised change and change we wanna see, not from bad to worse though.

Peace!

atolls:
I strongly advise not to be SENTIMENTAL with issues, it is obvious in the post.

I have these questions and observations

1. Are you saying all Muslims are Islamist/Jihadist?
2. 17 appointments were made in Education along with those mentioned, you only mentioned 8,what about the other 9? Or you feel muslims don't worth 8/17?
3. How do you come about Taking all appointments into consideration 88%? pls we're all students of mathematics
4. If you fill those post or do similar analysis under President Jonathan, it is worst for the Muslims appointment and nobody complained.

Please, let's live above religious/ethnic/language/etc sentiment and see issues.
If anyone of them is not qualify/performing, then we should say it.

Idon't care if Buhari put all his family member in all appointment, so long there is food on my table and money in my pocket, they should carry go!

That is the problem! Nigerians are relatively docile and if we have food on our table and money in our pocket you won't see this much bickering. But people are starving.

....and don't forget that a hungry man is an angry man.

Meanwhile, the Federal character is the surest way to achieve equity, unity and transparency.

So those saying they don't care if all appointments go to one region so long as there's result are just being absurd.

You can't say you want to change a bad situation and adopt methods that would only worsen it while still using the unacceptable situation as a benchmark.
