GreatSE:
When he was spending 1/3 of the budget fighting Boko Haram from the North while SW were busy on their side shouting marginalization and sabotaging his government...and you think he will correct all anomalies created for 50 yrs in 5 yrs........

How can you sabotage a government you overwhelmingly voted into power in 2011 ahead of this same Buhari and Ribadu (they voted ACN at the state governors level but voted for GEJ (PDP) and even protested on his behalf when Turai Yar'Adua and the northern oligarchy were not ready to relinquish power to GEJ after Yar'Adua's death. What did they get in return? He rather focused on the north that didn't support him and the SS/SE in terms of appointments and call their leaders thugs and sophisticated rascals after all the support. I don't think you except any sane people to continue supporting such a person that showed such open disdain for them and started running helter sharing money to pastors and a few greedy politicians in the region, few days to the election.

GreatSE:
Where will you get the fund to finance the project.....NDA know what is happening in Nigeria and all South South and SE are behind them..... Yorubas have been conniving with the North to deprive SS and SE everything with the help of few saboteurs like Amaechi now we know, this will make Niger Deltans more angrier.

Yorubas also connived with the North to deprive the SS and SE during the five year reign of GEJ right? Why didn't this kind of developmental project surface in the SS/SE during GEJ's time rather than enriching a few militant warlords? I guess the Yorubas and the north held his balls and stopped him from doing that. And this is the same man y'all were ready to lay your life down for him to continue being in power.

DedeNkem:
These Reformed Odua Peoples Congress id*iots are shameless cowards!

Why not give Igbos an ultimatum and shame yourselves. You went after weak and helpless Ijaws!

Make Igbos pass their boundaries by touching the life of a single Yoruba person in the SW and see what happens afterwards. I dare you to make that move. I hope you remember how your Eze Indigbo was beaten up like a kid in the Akure Oba palace and was forced to apologize to the Oba again after the beating, worse fate awaits any of you that try nonsense in the SW. At least the Ijaws were bold enough to attack first and kill some Yorubas while you lots end up your rants on social media like you're doing.

betterABIAstate:
Yoruba own the media,they tell any lie they want with it.

Na so people dey move commot?

The Ijaw Youth Council representative confirmed the relocation of people as you can use he was quoted, and for your information, this is Vanguard publishing this news not the nation, Sahara Reporters or Premium times that you can attribute to Tinubu, and anybody who's in this country would definitely know that in the last one year or so, Vanguard has never been sympathetic to the Yoruba cause. Not everything is about propaganda bro. I know in your mind, you had wished this news was not true and that The Ijaws dare the Yorubas instead by not relocating, so you and your kinsmen can come here and insult Yorubas shouting cowards here and there. The ijaws on that axis know Yorubas don't issue ultimatums needlessly like some other people and once they do, they mean it for real.

Ondo state people r so ungrateful. Am from ondo state (Akure) I don't know Mimiko but I see all he has done and am grateful to him. Mega school, mother and child hospital where pregnant women give birth without paying a kobo. My neighbours daughter is a witness to that. She told me she was rushed there from a private hospital where they ask her to pay 100k for C- section operation and I mother and child she gave birth thru c-section without paying a kobo the lady is from delta state not ondo state. Mimiko provided buses to take students to school and back from school daily without them paying a penny. Good road, water and so on.. now we have shoprite I was there yesterday and see happiness on my people's faces as they enjoying their shopping, going to the cinema with kids and so on. Ondo state people pls be grateful for once. Unna too wicked! Mimiko tried. He did his best. Pls someone should list what Agagun, Adefarati did for us. Am waiting. Bunch of ungrateful people. Hissssss

Since when has the presence of shoprite a private South-African enterprise become an achievement for a state governor. The mega school and mother-and-child are laudable projects which he did in his first term, which made Ondo State people rewarded him with a second term, but that second term which will end soon has been a disaster. Do you know two state Universities there, AAUA and OSUSTECH have been on strike for some time now owing to non-payment of workers salaries and the state civil servants too have only been paid one month salary this year, today being the last day of the 7th month. I'm sure if you're a civil servant in Ondo state or your parents are, you won't be singing his praises now. This is an oil-producing state for that matter, that collects 13% oil derivation and whose federal allocations is the highest in the SW with the exception of Lagos, despite having a relatively smaller workforce with no meaningful mass employment made for Mimiko's almost 8 years. Agagu you're talking about left 38bn in the treasury of Ondo state when he left in 2009 for Mimiko to use, when other ex-governors borrow and put their successors in debt, and didn't owe any salaries, paid bursaries and grant scholarships regularly to physically challenged and intelligent indigenes, and also responsible for most of the quality inter-town roads in most parts of the state. States like Cross-rivers whose allocations are less than half of that Ondo state pay their workers up to date. Where has all this money gone to? People are hungry and dying in Ondo state and you're here singing the praises of an insensitive leader who doesn't care. You're getting me angry already.

ayindejimmy:
Donald Trump was once the richest man in the world.
I can't tell his status now though

Please when in this world has Donald Trump being the richest or is it another planet you're referring to? State the year please. Thank you.

dracosith:
and after slaughtering them wot next? Do really think buhari fair to us? Plz sit down and think.

So if Buhari is not fair to you, the best thing to do is for the militants to be raping, maiming and wasting innocent lives in the SW that are going about their business, and you expect the government of the day to keep clapping for them, isn't it?

PencilBox:
what's the amount of the stolen money in Naira?

About 2 million naira.

teasel:
Never forget to always use your stupid tribe for stupid examples.

Fool..just ensure you're not the next on the Indonesian death row like your brothers.. truth hurts I guess.. For any idiotic Igbotic mod that the dunce I quoted would wanna report me and dares to ban me, remember this fool quoted me first to call my tribe stupid and I only reciprocated the kind gesture. I'm nice like that.

Kennedymac:
yeye dey smell we go soon know who is to be blamed( and I know is not gonna be linda ikeji ) cuz from the onset she wanted the best for mayowa by using her platform to bring to the public mayowa's condition not like the agbero Stella dimokorkus who neither donated nor published mayowa's. health issue bt was so quick to judge someone who helped in her own little way



modified: linda ikeji never said mayowa's claim of ovarian cancer was a scam rather it came to their notice that some family members were trying to divert the money made for her treatment , toyin raised the alarm and linda notified the public we need to remove sentiments in our judging of this case the person who we ought to think about now is mayowa who needs medical care now nothing else .


the family keep saying toyin and Co wanted some percentage from the money donated Wat is the big deal in it, as long as u've gotten more than the money needed for her treatment I myself will gladly give u some percentage before u even ask of it as long as it doesn't cut through the estimated amount needed for her treatment cuz maybe witout ur help our plea won't have been heard a lot of people are in that condition with no body to hear their cries

Linda may mean well for her but she spoilt it all by lying in her blog that the doctors at LUTH said her condition is so critical that she has only few days left to live and would still die regardless of anywhere she's taken to, when in actual sense the doctors have just confirmed with this Press release that they're yet to ascertain her problem definitively.

rigarmortis:
its just like a yoruba person saying yoruba people are not fond of ritual killing and deep forest human organ trafficking.....how does that sound?

you cant actually make your point without this billboard display of your stupidity.

You're a blockhead if you cannot see the reason why I included that analogy. You gave a similar analogy to buttress my point with that of Yorubas. Same mistake Barcanista is making in this thread that I'm pointing out that you do not try to defend a group of people with different good and bad elements as if they are all upright. I know if I had used Yoruba as my initial analogy, you wouldn't have called it stupidity but rather cheer me on. That's the hypocrisy of you lots. Now common eff off my mention.

TonyeBarcanista:
Drop your prejudice, deal with the miscreants and terrorists but leave Ijaws to their own troubles.

As a nation, Ijaw has so much challenges to address, we won't be drawn into needless and purposeless fight or words exchanged with any group..


Deal with the criminals

You can't speak on behalf of millions of Ijaws with different moral, social and educational backgrounds. It's just like an Igbo person saying Igbos cannot traffic drugs. You're not in the head of every Ijaw man in Nigeria to predict correctly what they can do or cannot do. Because you're civil and peace-loving doesn't mean every Ijaw man out there is, ditto other ethnic groups. There are good and bad elements in every tribe. The IYC President is also saying the NDA guys are not Ijaw guys when they have come boldly to identify majority of themselves as Ijaws. Just check out some of their names. You don't make categorical statements like the militants are not Ijaws. Those are mere emotional and sentimental statements. What if they're caught and found out to be Ijaw. That's one good thing about Yorubas. They're the ones that denigrate and insult their own sons more when he misbehaves, even before other tribes do. I can give you many instances.

Jacko1:
Haha haha

Which sophistcatee tribe did this


Refined tribe ising drugs


I suspect fatilat ogunkoya sef of drugs


And all oda frn her tribe dat ran for 9ja ues florence omagbemi sef


See wat they have caused.... Sophisricated tribe

Mugu, the last people that should open their mouth when it comes to drugs in Nigeria are Igbos with the way you're being slaughtered like goats regularly in Asia, in fact some were wasted just yesterday and you have the guts to point fingers at others. Moreover she is not the first, your sister Chioma Ajunwa set the pace for in drug taking when she was banned in 1992 for 4 years. You suspect Ogunkoya. People also suspect Usain Bolt, but until you're caught, you're innocent. Btw, Florence Omagbemi is not Yoruba but Itsekiri. In all of this, the Nigerian Athletic Federation are the biggest fools. How can someone be caught with drug use last year in the African Championship and was banned for 8 years, yet you include such a person in the Olympics team. Are they saying no other suitable people to replace her out of over 170 million Nigerians? Didn't they know the IOC would find out eventually? Dumb people at the helm of affairs everywhere in this godamn country.

PigMeat:
u now agree that yorubas are southernrs? Hypocrites!

Who's arguing with you that Yoruba's are not mostly southerners, from the South-west. Has anybody said otherwise?

Ikechukwu48:
Do people EVEN READ or are some people just naturally stupid.

In the article, the ones lying is Sahar reporters as usual. They said the government culled an image from a Chris blog in 2010 claiming the image came from Kenya. In the banner in that image in which they claimed was"culled" from that blog had the word ANAMBRA initiative written in it....the EXACT same banner in the freaking second image they claim ANAMBRA state governor draped on goods
Since when did Kenya have an ANAMBRA state?
In addition, did ANAMBRA state government follow Chris around in 2010 in Kenya in order to have that drape behind the image?

In addition, they equally did not provide ANY evidence to support their claim that the government took images from that blog. All they did was screenshot a front page from a blog. If they had process of the so called "culled", wouldn't that be the best thing to compare the images to as opposed to showing us the image of a blog front page and then image provided by the state government.

Likewise, they claim the state government went to Lagos and snapped pictures with the ANAMBRA initiative dropped on it yet again ZERO proof to back up that was what ANAMBRA state government did.

In addition, they claim they couldn't reach the state government for answers yet the state government in question is one of the most open thus far in Nigeria. Therefore, there are SEVERAL ways to avtually reach them. Why weren't they able to reach them now that Sahara reporters wants to lie on them.

All this shows me is that yoloba are truly low self esteem set.
Anytime another state is doing anything, this people would show up and start hating. Wtf? When Akwa ibom governors were doing good, the people that kept trying to drag them down was yoloba. When delta governor does something good, the people that kept trying to drag them down was yoloba. Wtf kind of people are those things? Y'all need a whole lot of psychological help.

You're a cheap liar. Please show me the picture on that Chris blog that had Anambra state written on the banner.

prettyjo:
happy birthday to me

Many happy returns to you. Enjoy your day woman.

zico530:
O my goodness! Dickson of Bayelsa you have no excuse of not paying your seven months salary to workers.

I doubt the authenticity of this news. It's just barely 3 days ago that they shared the allocation of 559bn for the 36 states and FCT for the month of June 2016. How come that of July came almost immediately and no other reputable news source carried this story, even the thisday source the OP included is fake. It's for May allocations of 305bn.. The mods should verify stuffs before pushing to Front page. This kind of news will allow people put unnecessary pressures on the governors, though I'm not excusing their extravagance.

dawtune:
You're not on my level? Looooool, it's evident that PRIDE lives with you my brother, and you're the kid here. I don't care whose side you're on, you simply were ignorant. The word STUPID was the word you used on another user here, quoting him.

I'm sure everyone would agree the only person I quoted and used the word stupid for on this thread made a silly statement by saying there are perhaps no literate people in the whole of the oil producing areas in Ondo state as they are into fishing, which explains why an Owo person was nominated Instead. The same person has subtly apologized and said he was speaking ironically instead, so I really do not understand your problem.

dawtune:
You are the one that is stupid. Appointments are nominated at the state level by the party, and sent to the president. The president has no hand in nominating candidates. The problem is directly from the state level. I wonder how some Nigerians think sha.

You must be a fool for quoting me and using the word stupid, when I didn't quote you in the first instance. I'm not on your level to join issues with kids like you.This issue has been in contention for about a week and the President is yet to change his stance or make any statement if truly he is ready to abide by the rule of law and make amends after it's obvious the APC in Ondo decided to err knowingly by picking an Owo man who's not from the oil-producing area. If you follow my comments, you'd know I'm not a PDP or GEJ-apologist but rather being on the side of Buhari until he started misbehaving lately.

eleko1:
una just dey read una own upside down.is Owo in Oyo/Osun state now?.OIL PRODUCING STATR NOT LOCAL GOVT AREA. I tire oo

Ask questions if you don't know something instead of ignorantly dabbling into issues you don't have much information on. The act establishing NDDC, NDDC Act 2000 section 2 clearly states that representatives of the states constituting the Board of the NDDC shall be indigenes of oil producing areas, and that is why people like the respectable senator and eminent lawyer Adegboruwa are taking up this issue with the FG.. I'm sure you don't know more than them.. emphasis is on oil producing areas not state. That is why other Presidents before Buhari have never made this stupid mistake of nominating anyone outside Ilaje/Ese-Odo LGAs to the NDDC board, but as the tyrant he is, he has again demonstrated he cares about the rule of law as he had done with his other skewed federal appointments.

whotiedthegoat:
Maybe they don't have literate people in those local governments, because fishing to them is what herding is to Fulani's

Your statement is an insult to the entire populace of Ilaje/Ese-Odo LGAs and I don't blame you. It's nairaland I blame for giving people like you a platform to showcase your stupidity. These are LGAs with appreciable numbers of academics with PhDs lecturing in various institutions across the country and successful people in the industry and all walks of life. By the grace of God, I'm from one of the LGAs and I'm a masters degree holder striving for a PhD. If that doesn't count as being literate for you, then I'm sorry I can't help your daftness.

dejavski:
With all the neglects that we get from federal appointments despite our own contributions to this country th least this man can do is to appoint our own son(ilaje) to the board.

It makes no sense to me that an owo man will speak on behalf of the ilajes/ijaws in the oil producing regions on the board of the NDDC.
Are they telling us that we have no competent person from our side Haba!!

Just imagine. Is Buhari saying he can't find a competent Ilaje/Ese-Odo man to represent Ondo state on the NDDC board. What an aberration. How can an Owo man be representing the interests of Ilaje communities in Ondo state. This is how we have always been sidelined in the politics of the state and at the federal level,despite being solely responsible for the huge allocation Ondo state is earning,otherwise Ondo state will be in the class of the likes of Osun and Ekiti in terms of federal allocation. Same nonsense Buhari did when he made an Ikale man the Minister for state for Niger Delta Affairs when we have Ilaje people on ground.

ikdaddy01:
For once i satnd with de govt on this one. The state is an oil mineral producing STATE and he is representing the state, not oik mineral community.
What if he has chosen someone from another state, or completely out of the equation...that will be against the law.

Why can't you be truthful. Ondo state is considered part of NDDC only because of the oil in Ilaje and Ese-Odo LGAs and not other parts of the state, even though other parts of the state enjoy the benefits of NDDC by virtue of these two LGAs. It would therefore amount to injustice for someone outside these two LGAs to be representing their interest in the NDDC board when he/she knows next to nothing about the plight of the people there, as the person is not indigenous to those communities.

Da12:
Hi, fellow Nairalanders am in a phase, I need your advice;
If you were given admission (unconditional offer) to do Masters in Health Science in the UK for one year and your enrolment date is 09th September 2016 and your programme start date is 30th September 2016.
Tuition fee is £12000 = 4.8M Naira
Country Bursary is £1000 = 400k
Total Fee due is £11000 = 4.4M Naira
Estimated Living Cost is £1015 per Month = 406k per Month

To accept your unconditional offer, you’re expected to pay a minimum non-refundable deposit of £5500 = 2.2M Naira to reserve a place on the programme.
The Scholarship programme you were looking up to is on hold (till no date given).

All you have is 1.1M Naira. Your expecting 1.1M from your family but it’s on probability. After looking for a Job in Abuja, haven’t found one.
Your major challenge for Visa Requirements is a Bank Statement with minimum balance of 9M Naira. How will you get yourself sorted out with Brexit wahala in UK and Foreign Exchange wahala in Nigeria and age not being on my side!

I will be much grateful if you can advice me or help me out of this phase.
For special advice email: pleasesolution@gmail.com

Like what time latest are you expecting the scholarship to be granted to you. If it's before the year runs out and it's certain you'll get the scholarship, you can defer your admission to resume by January start next year,that is if you're hell-bent on studying in the UK. However, I don't really know if it's worth it spending such huge money in a country where you can't even be granted a post-study visa to stay back and still hustle a bit. After collecting your millions, they can't wait to send you on completion of your programme. Why don't you give other countries a chance where you won't have to spend so much fortune on a programme. Canada, maybe Australia and even Europe ( Germany, Scandinavian countries : Sweden, Denmark, Finland etc, Belgium, Netherlands).

amtaken:
Help me tell them. Sometimes their level of childishness is so baffling.

Is this really amtaken? I expected you to be singing the new diplomatic immunity song like your fellow wailers. Why are then supporting the guy that said America can arrest the spouse of a sitting president of the country? You people are just too funny.

passionate88:
ossinbanjo the mere commissioner as a VP what has he done for the Yoruba's?

You want to compare someone who has used 14 months in power with one who used a combined 8 years as VP and President. Are Yorubas crying about their land being not developed and forming militancy? Anyway my question was not directed to you but since you have itchy fingers, it would have been wise of you to answer the question I asked there about Jonathan.

SeanDada1:
These guys said you should develop Niger Delta regions just like Abuja, Lagos. Create jobs, infrastructure, etc. They don't need Amnesty!! Why is the Buhari led FG so dumb??

These guys are just blackmailing Buhari though he caused part of it himself with his careless utterances and actions/inactions and appointments, but try and be honest with yourself. Who would have been able to develop Niger Delta like Abuja or Lagos? Goodluck Jonathan who spent 3 years as VP and another 5 years as President, being a son of Niger Delta or a Fulani man Buhari who has used barely 14 months in power?

Otapipia:
Immunity from both civil and criminal actions. The court can put this case in abeyance until the garb of immunity is statutorily pulled off Fayose. The worst the court can do is to strike out the case for want of jurisdiction but will be revisited when fayose no longer enjoys immunity.

How about the guy suing the President himself for certificate issues, and that case was not put in abeyance but ongoing instead. Who else enjoys immunity more than the President? Please enlighten me.

adibo:
Once you get to main gate, you will see a lot of people who offer such services. Just meet any of them

My brother, please help with this information. Do PhD applicants have to upload their research proposals online during the application process, or not, and do they have to write exams too like those of Masters especially if the applicant's Masters degree is not from Uniben. Is there some kind of discrimination towards that in the admission process in Uniben too, as some schools opt to admit candidates with masters from other institutions, regardless of their grade whether distinction or merit for MPhil/PhD instead of direct PhD? I really need that information urgently to be guided. Thanks.

SeverusSnape:
But does that change the fact that Buhari is a hypocrite?... A big one for that matter.

Perhaps, but I know he's no angel, but it's better to at least make an effort at curbing corruption and retrieving huge sums from these treasury looters, than folding your arms and encouraging them to steal to their fill, with your utterance and body language like Jonathan did. Everyone now from the banks down to the civil service has sat up and become much more careful in financial dealings than we used to have it before. Both Jonathan and Buhari have their flaws and strong points. Jonathan had been fully tested. By 2019, we'll know how far with Buhari.

Sharksblow:
chai!!!!!!!! This is unfair

I'm telling you. This is one case that has the potential of making a total rubbish of Buhari's anti-corruption campaign, depending on how he handles it, cos I heard he's on the verge of relieving Dambazzau of his Ministerial position too, owing to his alleged indictment by the Arms procurement investigation panel. Sahara Reporters had done the hard part already, providing all evidence and proofs. Let's see how it goes in the coming days/weeks though.
