APC is a party of vendetta, meanness, and division.

Their aim in winning is diving Nigeria 97% and 5%...and the funniest thing is that they also want peace and unity on top of that. That's hopelessly strange!

Why is Nigeria eternally cursed with extreme bad leaders?

hahahaha stop being emotional man, no pity for a thieve. He should bring back our money

Has the ID camp SGF returned his loot? Though I am angry with Anyim for doing absolutely nothing for the SE, especially the federal roads, as he was the former senate preisdent and SGF, but the law should be equal to all.

… Counts real cost of a fratricidal Boko Haram war By Soni Daniel with UN report Eight years after Boko Haram launched a senseless war that has claimed over 20,000 lives and displaced over 1.8 million people now scattered in IDP camps across North Eastern Nigeria, the real cost of the fratricidal war now beckons: 8.5 million people are in urgent need of life-saving assistance, 5.2 million are in dire need of food security interventions and 3.4 in urgent need of nutrition assistance. But the fund for all of this is not readily available, putting the fate of the victims in the balance and their future in uncertainty. Halima, three, is sitting on the bare floor close to her 21-year-old mother, Sadiatu, and they are actively muttering some words to each other. The time is about 2pm on a Tuesday and they have not yet had their breakfast due to the fact that there is no food in their new abode and the money to do so, is not available.

Boko Haram Their abode, known as Bakassi IDP Camp, in Maiduguri the Borno State Capital, is holding them and thousands of other persons violently displaced from their ancestral homes and communities in many parts of the state and thrown into despondency, fear and distress by the Boko Haram terrorists, who have since 2009 been killing, maiming and kidnapping people in pursuit of an agenda: the declaration of a Caliphate where western education would be outlawed. As a reporter gets close to Sadiatu and her daughter to figure out the reason for their pensive mood, the mother offered a clue: “We don’t have anything in this house and we don’t know where our next meal will come from,” Sadiatu lamented. As she narrates her jeremiad to a team of reporters, other occupants of the make-shift camp- a housing estate planned by the Borno State Government but hurriedly converted to a holding camp for the displaced victims, many other IPDs gather around to describe their pitiable situations. Adamu Shehu, 12, an orphan, is moving from one hut in the camp to the other in search of any form of provision, having lost her two parents to the Boko Haram terrorists when they struck Gwoza over three years ago. Beyond the violent killing of his parents, Adamu said their home was razed by the insurgents and other members of the family killed, wounded or taken away to unknown destination.


Sadiatu, Halima and Adamu are just a few of the thousands of IDPs squatting at the Bakassi Camp provided by the Borno State Government and receiving material and logistical support from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, UNOCHA. No fewer than five of such camps have been provided by the Borno State Government to provide temporary accommodation for the IDPs and protect them from further exploitation by their tormentors. The three are among the 1.8 million victims of the Boko Haram insurgency, which has claimed no fewer than 20,000 lives and destroyed many hitherto flourishing communities and displaced their inhabitants across the six north east states of Nigeria, sparking one of the world’s worst refugee scenarios. According to OCHA, the humanitarian crisis in Nigeria’s Northeast and the Lake Chad region is one of the most severe in the world today with 8.5 million in need of humanitarian assistance in 2017 in the worst affected states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe with the war now in its eighth year, showing no signs of abating. Beyond the 8.5 people in need of humanitarian assistance, no fewer than 1.7 million according to OCHA, are internally displaced in the three states, with 80 percent of them in Borno State alone, the epic centre of the crisis and over half of them living outside IDP camps in local communities, who are themselves said to be among the world’s poorest people.


Aside that, 6.1 million people in the area are in need of protection while no fewer than 4000 women and girls are reported to have been abducted since 2009 by the insurgents. UNOCHA in its latest update on the crisis entitled, Northeast: Humanitarian Review, noted, “Civilians continue to bear the brunt of a conflict that has resulted in widespread forced displacement, violations of international humanitarian and human laws, severe protection concerns and a food and nutrition crisis of massive proportions. “Insecurity, especially in swathes of Borno State, continues to hamper humanitarian operations. However, through coordinated logistics and civil-military coordination efforts, humanitarian teams can now access some areas that were previously inaccessible. This has revealed new depth of devastation and humanitarian need,” OCHA said. The atrocities of Boko Haram is that in most cases whole communities have been destroyed, farmlands set ablaze and the inhabitants killed or kidnapped while women have been serially raped and turned into sex machines and suicide bombers. The situation is dire! Food is no longer coming from the farms of those communities destroyed by the insurgents while those left behind, if any, are too scared to go their farms for any kind of cultivation. This has brought about a serious threat to food security and opened the potential for starvation and malnutrition across the northeast. The lingering threats and attacks by the insurgents have also blocked accessibility in some of the states in the northeast to humanitarian assistance providers. According to reports, the prolonged humanitarian crisis has already had a devastating impact on food security and nutrition in the North-eastern part of Nigeria with 5.2 million people currently in need of food assistance in the three most affected states and 450,000 children under five in need of nutrition support.


OCHA, whose officials are already working in the worst affected areas, says that the food situation remains precarious. It notes: “Rapid food assessments were recently carried out in eastern Borno and high food deficits and high food prices remain pronounced across the three areas surveyed in Banki, Gwoza and Pulka. “In addition, access to vulnerable populations has been limited since July due to insecurity and the rainy season, resulting in convoy delays and an inability to reach some locations,” the agency reported. The humanitarian situation in the Northeast has become pronounced and caught the attention of the United Nations Secretary General, who recently raised the alarm that at least 20 million people in Nigeria’s Northeast, Somalia, Yemen and South Sudan are facing devastating levels of food security and asked for urgent intervention to avert the disaster.

IPOB miscreants and Niger Delta militants are not related, they speak for themselves

What are their struggles for? What is the difference between you miscreant and the alayes?

elibest360:
I came across a thread on NL where a guy posted about the development of some south eastern roads with sukuk funds, which we all know is an Islamic Loan system. The said thread generated lots of controversial comments.
So my Question here is that,
Is using of Sukuk fund in reconstruction of south eastern roads a form of islamizing the south eastern part of Nigeria?
Your Opinions are welcomed.

No roads are built...Stop writing nonsense with your propaganda...Is Nigeria being part of OIC part of islamizing of Nigeria? Op go and find better work to enagage your self...

Talk of IPOB miscreants and stop merging Niger Delta militants to your silly struggle

Look at this free education miscreant! If you didn't have free education, you would have seen that news is about SE and SS...poor you.

The Afonjas are eternally wicked and evil. They will tell you that no region is marginalized. They will tell you the Niger delta militants and IPOB youths are miscreants, who should be killed by their "one Nigeria" brave soldiers...Why are these creatures full of evil? They blame the easterners for migrating to the SW and the north where the evil federal government prefers to invest in infrastructure. They asked the easterners to go and develop their regions as if they developed their region. Why are these people heartless?

One Nigeria can never be united if injustice and plain wickedness is the best policy of government. How can the SE region, a region slightly bigger than Niger state have the worse road in the country? This shows that the region is still being punishe because of the civil war..

I like the average northerner for one thing...that's being objective.

I wish to see the response of people, especially the perennial Igbo haters!!1

Can't you people stop being foolish online? How many times have you seen Ijaws, Yorubas, Hausas, Tivs fighting which of their cities are the best? Igbos are the same. People from Anambra live in Imo state and people from Imo state reside in Anambra state, so what the fck are you senseless adult fighting about. You old bullies should cover your faces in SHAME. Please, you guys should find better work to engage yourselves in...Disgusting!!!

Amarabae:
While the Nigeria media space was celebrating Anambra peaceful election and mourning a great elderstateman Dr Alex Ekwueme, A controversial oral bombshell exploded from the mouth of the newly re-elected governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano.
I was vividly disappointed by the obiano remark that Anambraians built Lagos, its undiplomatic,inflammatory,and divisive.
Issues like this can set us up against our hosts.
The Question of who developed Lagos can be examined down briefly below.
Lagos a Yoruba state started seeing some developement right from the days of the colonial era,
Its development rose when it served as the capital of Nigeria,the Federal Government pumped a lot of money in some infrastructure in the state,
After she lost her capital status to Abuja,the modern Lagos continued to grow and it is the melting point of all ethnic groups in Nigeria who are in the state.
Taxes generated from industries,factories,business centers etc is the source of IGR of the state.
Bragging about Igbos developing Lagos makes us look stupid before the world for some reasons.
Its time we Ndigbo show the world our own Lagos instead of salivating on another person property.

Aba or Onitsha are two Igbo cities that we can develop like Lagos if we have visionary leaders.

So why the controversy?
Careless remarks like that of Obiano arm our host against us,
Lack of diplomacy should not be a weak point to us,
That statement by obiano portray us as Land grabbers which in reality we are not.
I am not ashamed to say it that despite awolowo £20pounds saga, Lagos provided the platform by which some Igbos regained themselves economically after the war,
So why the unnecessary provoking?

Igbos should think home now for investment, there is no pride in bragging about developing another man's land and leaving your own to rot.
Enough of this controversy,Lagos is a Yoruba state and remains so.
We can build our Igbo cities and towns to international standard and stop this unnecessary "Lagos and no man's land" jibe.
Thank you.

Does this look like a rotten city....

Though I agree that they should invest more at home...People have been investing in this past 6 years...more than ever before...

Port Novo Dahomey also have seaports like Lagos. Why is Cotonou not like Lagos?

Forget it, Lagos is what it is today because of federal government investment. Why is it that no other Yoruba city is like Lagos?

Those people do not come from a tribe that claim to be the richest ethnic group.
These ones do

Is Abuja your land? Why can't you ibos focus on your land? Why are you so greedy?

We can't focus on our land..while the federal government is investing trillions in the land you claim is yours...

How I wish these guys have branches in Awka, Enugu or Owerri. I like Innoson for starting from home!
