Very helpful post. Thanks OP.

The simplicity of Mrs Osinbajo is lifting.

Some hard truth in the statements but it not all gloomy. Unbridled corruption has been stemmed and there is a semblance of coordination on the economy now. We need to move a lot faster though.

Na wah o. May GOD replenish her a 100 fold back.

Nice development, he should also upgrade the helipad in daura to an international airport. And then get Julius Berger to construct an artificial seaport in daura by channelling water from the Atlantic Ocean right from lagos to katsina.
He has to develop his home town, if he doesn't then who will

Beautiful.

Their problem.

This is a good one!

Femi Adesina sometimes speaks like someone who is power drunk and arrogant at the same time. Some of these comments will come back to hunt him. He shouldn't look too far into history to take his lessons!

The comments about rats et all does not hurt as much as the careless cancellation of the FEC meeting. Being the first to be held since the return of the President, I believe it was important that he attended it. At the worst case scenario, he should have allowed his deputy to supretend instead of the outright cancellation.

The Arewa Youth Coalition has flayed the comment made by President Muhammadu Buhari that Nigeria must remain one.

The group urged the government to conduct a referendum to provide an exit door for those who did not want to be part of Nigeria.

Buhari had in a nationwide broadcast on Monday upon his return from London affirmed that the country was better off staying together.

But rising from a town hall meeting for the North East geopolitical zone, yesterday, the coalition disagreed with him on the non-negotiability of the unity of the country.

National Chairman of the coalition, Alhaji Yerima Shettima told newsmen in Gombe, yesterday, that Nigeria should create an exit door for the Biafra agitators by convening a referendum.

“The president just came back from his medical vocation. In normal circumstances, one should have expected him to take some time to have a clear review of situations in the country after spending 103 days abroad.

“His statement is a welcome development to some extent because there are issues; the unity of the country is being threatened. I think the focus of the president was basically on the threat to our national unity and those were the key issues he spoke about. In addition, that we would no longer tolerate anybody undermining the security of the country. Certainly, agreed, it should be that way as he felt. But I feel also that on the side of international law to which Nigeria is signatory, it is expected that government must create an exit door for those who feel they want to leave through a referendum and as stipulated in the 1999 constitution.

“It would not augur well if we insist on living with people who do not want to be part of the country and they keep threatening the unity of the country. It may even appear to the international community like a mockery.

“If the government is up and doing, let us abide by the demands of the international law by creating an exit door for those agitating for self determination,” Shettima said.

“Certainly, the IPOB cannot be said to be speaking for the South-East because they are less than ten percent of the Igbo communities who are willing to remain in Nigeria,” he said.

Shedding light on the October 1 quit notice issued to Igbo, Shettima lamented that the group’s message in the Kaduna Declaration was misunderstood.

Well said!

Oshiomole is only saving his skin. lf he backs restructuring, the North will unleash EFCC on him. Wise decision, good defensive play.

It is his time to play politics. GOD's time is on the way!

Congratulations to the young lady and the proud dad.

She knows exactly what she is doing!

I just hope they don't make the mistake of killing people and trying to use force.....That will only end up in disaster. We should have learnt from Niger Delta militancy and Boko Haram by now!

Beautiful!

Mr. Ibu nor send anybody with this his big belle o!

A very powerful and objective article that exposed the partisan nature of our Police and the gradual drift to anarchy. This lady is one of the most enlightened writer in Nigeria today!

Great achievement. Big congratulations.

Like or hate Reno Omokri; he hits the opponents with data, statistics and facts. That is part of what we need in Nigeria to set our leaders on their feet to either perform or bow out.

The guy did the right thing and it is commendable but should not expect any reward.

I pray the disintegration of this sham union be done peacefully.

But even if they want it to go the way of Sudan, Rwanda and Congo DR,
We are ready!
My bare hands alone will strangle a minimum of 280 when the time comes.

Your bare hands must be made of iron!

True love demonstrated in the face of pure hatred. Shame to the haters!

Wasteful irresponsibility - The bane of a Nation!

That Ref officiating was terrible. Ronaldo shouldn't have pushed the official but there is a limit to what an average human can endure.

Glory be to GOD!

Until we rise up and demand due accountability from our political leaders, these kind of nonsense will not cease!

Fantastic news. I look forward to the day this type of reality will be regular occurrence in Nigeria.

The chiefs in the community probably prefer taking the money as cash which they eventually use in buying houses in Abuja and overseas to the detriment of basic infrastructure in their communities.

Gbam!

Senator Bruce made very salient points on the need for Nigeria to diversify her economy, create visionary plans and make developmental agendas the thrust of public policies.

However and unfortunately so; I read some silly comments maligning the Senator and which did not address the points raised in any objective manner.

We as Nigerians must be able to review statements and react with objectivity and not infantile abuses and total disrespect for opposing views.

Happy birthday to a midfield wizard and football artist.

That's simply amazing!
