What is wrong with this my village ppl sef,

Security forces should arrest all that is involved including the chiefs trying to bail them,

It is high time we sanitize the society of these killers at loose,

Rubbish

With all said and done,

Niger delta oil is the one bearing the brunt,

Take the oil out of the picture, no one will contest for presidency again,

It is time we fight for our resources to better the lives of our yet unborn children,

We wrestle not against flesh and blood,

The mum and uncle failed to understand warfare rather they were fighting the physical ,

yemex04:
FIRS & other Agencies aren't collecting allocation, States do.. What collect is what is statutory theirs in accordance with the law establishing them via the Acts of the National Assembly. Even YOU can't change it the Practice if you are the President even if you don't agree with the process, you must mobilize the National Assembly to amend the law establishing them. So chill, those who made the law that established the law know why via public hearing. So chill bro, it is fine to be emotional but do not let it override your sense of objective reasoning.

Are you talking about the Northern national assembly,

Does the decision go well with the minorities that contribute more to firs collection,

Most of the law passed by the national assembly is for the interest of the North and nothing else,

To make it more efficient and devoid of bias, every state should collect their taxes and pay a certain percent to the federal ,

I remember wike, when he was a governor had a similar case in court against firs as per collection of taxes in Rivers State, firs had to begin lobbying because they knew what they stand to lose,

Only God knows how that course case went,

This country will not progress if we continue with the current structure, it is time to overhaul and restructure all sectors for growth and prosperity,

What happens to agriculture in the North, how much taxes is firs generating from there, firs would rather focus effort in oil and gas, marine, etc

Incompetent

We know the states contributing to the immense revenue of firs,

Take aways those states, firs is doom,

With the government of regionalism, firs will become redundant,

Every state and region should control their tax collections.

ebufa:
why will they come back to a country where some people believe Nigeria belongs to them and their allies alone? People with a different or alternate views are summarily executed on the streets while protesting!!

Nigeria is where she is because the people themselves are nearly as wack as the clueless leaders!

The current structure since 1999 has failed us, yet the elites want to continue in it because it favours them,

Go back to regional government, make the president an inconsequential position, then you will see a turnaround,

Or better still, divide the country, let everyone focus on his area and eke out living for their unborn generation,

because if we continue this way, generation to come will suffer more than triple the way we are suffering now,

He who has an ear, let him hear,

Japa is not the solution, who will solve the problem if everyone japa,

Orinechi:
It is still paining u. U see that project, is a goal and if by mistake u use it when is ready, u know what await u

The money been earmarked for the project is gotten from our land, so you better shut you mouth up

This is a replica of the East west road running from Benin to Calabar that hasn't seen the light of the day for decades,

The Bodo Bonny road is another white elephant project,

Yet this mumu president is flagging another white elephant project as an avenue to plunder the Niger Delta oil revenue,

I wish thunder go just fire this man,

The president should be bragging of plunging Nigerians into hunger and suffering.

Useless country and useless supporters of evil president that came in through massive rigging and flouting of electoral process

Pls , what is the hope for those who missed the CBT Test because notification via email and sms was not sent,

Is there provisions for rescheduling?

Sultannayef:
CBN is a revenue generating agency!!

How, pls explain,

The salaries expenditure of CBN staffers, the body can't even generate it, rather they plunder oil resources revenue from NNPC,

They last Governor stole with reckless abandon,

The CBN should be overhauled, let them start working for their income like other commercial Banks

All the half bake Prof yakubu and Mahmoud should take the next flight to SA to take crash course on electoral matters

As long we have our electoral process flawed, this country can never be good,

Unless, we address the issue of electoral malpractice, this country is not ready to move forward

The CBN is not a revenue generating entity yet employs thousand through the back door to plunder the nation resources,

This unbundling is a welcome idea,

The CBN should learn to follow due process, not just dishing out policies to commercial banks wherein itself can not adhere to policy of fair and transparent recruitment,

The CBN is a failure,

Even if Russia drills 1m barrel per day, in the next 1200years, the oil will not be exhausted,

Wealth is all over Russia,

If America make noise, them go collect

AbuAeesha:
Lolz
It is called Nigeria(a single country) for a reason.
Btw whose father kept the oil underground??
Better go meet ya state govs pocketing 13% oil revenue. Or them amnesty guys and stop wailing here.
Those that are reaping the benefits are not wailing here.

The fertile land for agriculture you have in the north, Na your papa plant the fertility and soil texture,

The oil in the Niger Delta is planted by God and is God gift, it belongs to the land dwellers whom God has blessed,

Nigeria will not continue like this,

Sth must be done

Olaide1295:
Off shore. The oil is off shore, not on Niger delta land.
The ocean up to 50km into water belong to the Nigerian government. The rest is controlled by international maritime.

Oya access the water directly from Sokoto State,

Nigeria is a fraud,

The same water you are saying belongs to Nigeria, if the country divides, who do you think will have access to the water, I guess is Kano or Sokoto ,

Or who is dragging the deserts in the north with you ppl, if the deserts have oil, you will see illegal explorers in the north ,

Nigeria that is gone to the pigs

malali:
Nigeria should position itself to milk the oil windfall.

Sell maximum quota, stay low don't make noise.

Revenue.Revenue.Revenue.

USA is about to fight another proxy war in iran ??

Is the USA really going to stay "neutral" and let them slug it out ??

Never fight an area boy in his territory, even if you are 10X stronger than him........Wait till you catch him unawares !!

All you Malam knows is to sell oil, oil, nothing is in your head again,not thinking of alternative source of revenue

When the oil finish, I will see what you guys will sell

The country is not in war,

Why should we be seeing military amongst civilian,

FGN should relocate their barracks to villages where they can't interact with civilians, the police is meant to live among civilians,

The NA is a bunch of failure

Why are we overflogging this issue,

The life of a military officer is not worth more than a civilian,

Who is talking about the civilians killed in the same community,

As far as we are concerned, the military is a mere charade, all their fake ranks they parade up and down should not be respected because many of them don't even merit it.

The CDS is just stoking ethnic tension by accusing monarchs of a particular tribe in Delta State,

All his accusations are baseless and unfounded,

The north said the crude belongs to them,

The northern navy arrested locals who collected crude from their creeks and handed them to northern efcc,

The government is busy stealing with biro right from abacha time,

The government is busy impoverishing her citizen thru bad policies and wicked politicking,

Nigeria is gone, not redeemable,

Best is to divide this contraption, every aboki to his kettle,

Stop the drilling of crude oil, stop polluting our environment, we need our land for farming and water for fishing,

Stop the northern occupation of our land

Oshey ..... Zach Adedegi PhD the Revenue collector.

You are sick in the head.
FIRS 95% revenue comes from which South Christians.

You be like monkey wey dey village dey think say no where better pass him village

You must not throw insults to make a point,

What constitutes FIRS collections,

Let me School you a little,

WHT federal and VAT alone constitutes major part of it,

What is the VAT on transactions of oil and gas both upstream and downstream, ,

When Wike took FIRS to court asking them to relinquish the collections of VAT on Rivers State payment, tell me what happened, FIRS starting crying like babies, seeking redress up and down,

To put this in perspective, go and study the last financial report of FIRS

Over 95% of FIRS revenue is coming from the southern Christians States,

What a mess,

Christians deserve an unreserved apology from that head slammer who drafted that FIRS Easter message

It is very easy,

We southerners are ready to give up the offshore oil to the neighbourhood countries by dissociating ourselves from the landmass of the north if that is contained in the UN convention of 1982

We are ready to manage our soil oil and gas by ourselves,

We say no to northern Nigeria land, hence United Nation can then allocate the offshore oil to next neighbourhood country with the largest landmass

The north think they have sense,

You need the south to enter the sea, and you cannot bully us to claim oil, if the south breakup from the north, the offshore oil you are claiming will still belong to the south alone as the UN convention didn't mention control over the sea nautical miles as a function of land mass,

The North should lay claim to Sahara desert and not the sea in our backyard

Nonsense from a quota system and half-baked dr my foot

The narrative of this writer clearly indicates that there was no election in Rivers,

The said wike worked for APC and also worked for PDP in the same state,

It was nothing but rigging that took place,

Shame on INEC ,

Nigeria is gone to the dogs

Don't depend on oil money to pay your state police,

Generate your revenue every state and pay your state police from there.

Enough of all these media propaganda,

Some of you spewing rubbish here, your state is even worse,

Bornu that was the epicentre of terrorism, what was their compensation, a vice president slot and north east development commission,

Let Delta sort themselves out, the Governor was on top of the issue before the military choose to flex their muscle,

If you don't like our State, leave our oil alone and don't do your posting here to serve,

Enough

ezechi24:
That means the okuama people has actually been the troublemakers here, because if you read all their own side of the story, they have totally no tangible reason for the havoc they've been meting on the okoloba people.

They should eat what they cooked.

Don't believe hook line and sinker all you read,

The writer here is from Okoloba,

When another writer from Okuama write, you will get another dimension of the saga,

The pointer should be focused on why the military visit to Okuama, who paid the military to go and kidnap the Okuama community chairman, while is Okoloba claiming that the Okuama are their tenant, is any Okoloba person alive old enough as 300years to state that narrative,

The Tompolo men and Army are constituting nuisance in that Forcado region due to greed for the oil resources, that is the genesis of all this saga,

Tompolo should be called to question, his contract should be revoked, he and his men has successfully and stealthily pitch the Okuama community against the Nigerian State.

The Urhobo's I know are peaceful and warmly to strangers, they occupy 10 LGA out of 25LGA in Delta State,

Never in history, you have heard of an Urhobo community been hostile,

Okuama saga need to be investigated, the neighboring communities must be questioned

Wike is talking about barbaric, whereas he is chief barbaric himself,

Anyway, na thief when them catch be thief

Ijaw , they are notorious for trouble making,

Imagine this Dr Boma, said the Okoloba community called the Army, Police to go and kill the people of Okuama,

Most definitely, with the help of Tompolo after rubbing the palms of the Army personnel with funds from his jumbo sized pipeline contract,

Let it be known that the Okoloba community is the cause of the death of our gallant army officers

This is true love,

We need genuine love like this to make the society a better place

GMacbeth:
I will say if the nigeria wants to be fair okoloba community should not be spare as well

Yes, because okoloba caused the provocation

The mandate grabber has spoken,

Oya, NA start deploying your tanks,

The UPU should issue a statement asap on this,

The genesis of this is not farfetched, investigate thoroughly before making ungaurded statement as a C in C
