PDP is very intent on starting the 2nd cycle of the self destruction that created the legal maze it has found itself.

They have forgotten that this is not the PDP era when very clear judgements are disregarded by the state, who then expect another trial to explain the verdict of the previous trial.

Mr intelligent the too much grammar u know is the one that is killing you, the only stupid person here is you, no matter who u are or what u represent, Christianity cam never be erased my islamism God in heaven will never allow it, u guys can only try but like ur father the devil u will always fail

There's a reason why religion has found a conducive habitat in politically, economically and academically challenged societies.

You are proof that religious extremists and fundamentalists are a nuisance to a civil society.

merjovis:
Adams Aliu OSHOMOLE the present Governor of Edo state while entertaining his guest from the north yesterday, said in the news that he is set to employ Islamic teachers in Edo state who will teach the student Islam in all the schools , my question is, is it proper for Islam to be taught in a christian state?? Will the northerners dare introduce Christian Religion in the North Christians in Benin and Edo state it's time to stand up and say No to this rubbish we will not be the last Christians in this State. OYA make will pray may God help us all

You had to remind us that Adams Oshiomhole also bears Aliyu.
If you do not know, there a lots of Muslims in Edo state, even outside Auchi. Some like Oshiomhole, Aret Adams, Tony Momoh etc were born into Islam, but later became Christians.

There is no such thing as Edo state is s Christian state. Even Prof. Ambrose Alli was born into a Muslim family, but became Catholic like Oshiomhole and was the very 1st civilian governor of Edo State.

If you don't want IRK in a multi religious state like Edo, then CRK must be outlawed also.

The world would be a better place if religious lunatics like you and your Islamic counterparts were eased into the heavenly world you all crave for. The rest of the sane world would be better for it.

dustmalik:
You guys are trying sha. The level of stupidity that goes on in politics section is appalling. I stopped commenting on this section because i realized it has been taken over by fools. I mean, what kind of useless thread is this? IRK and CRK have always been part of our primary and secondary school curriculum. So, what on earth is the OP talking about? Imagine calling Edo, a christian state.

I totally concur.

I am beginning to think the Politics section is now for retards.

Never Never Never let that SOB go scott free in the USA.

Report him to the USA embassy here. The FBI would fish him out in the USA. He must be prosecuted here or there.

Knowledge9000:
Typical yoruba...can you get it into your head that Eastern region wants nothing but separation? BTW Stop separating us by saying Igbo and SS in your last paragraph...doesn't make sense. Get this in your divisive brain...50% of so-called SS are Igbos. Igbos are majority in Rivers and Delta states. They are also native Igbos in Cross Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa. I'm lecturing you because many of you yorubas don't travel so that when another civil war starts, you don't foolishly run into Igbo areas thinking IT'S YOUR IMAGINARY SS.

This bigoted loudmouth has been claiming Igbo ownership of the SS region. He has characteristically produced a 50% statistic from his arse as Igbos are wont to do. From "we SE and SS", it is now "we Igbos in the whole south, nothing like SS" The Igbo man has unilaterally declared the SS as non existing, and termed all as Easterners with Igbo majority. The ambitious and greedy Igbos never learn from their history fraught with self inflicted misery.

So Delta state is now 50% Igbo, minus the Itshekiri, Ijaw and Isoko, I reckon the Urhobos whose population has been dominating the state, account for just 25% versus the 50% Igbo.

Ikwerre are majority in Rivers, if they finally accept they are Igbos, then your majority claim in Rivers might stand.

That Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa have 1 or 2 Igbo villages that don't even constitute a local government area, doesn't make the insignificant Igbo size there translate to a majority in the general South South population.

That there are Yoruba villages in Edo and Delta, in addition to the Itshekiris in both states, doesn't make the Yorubas majority in the SS.

As for the SS / NigerDelta, in the event that Nigeria has to split, you will do well to exorcise any Igbo village out of your new country to prevent Igbo encroachment into your territory. They are good at being humble like beggars when they come cap in hand, but once they think they have an advantage, their true character blossoms.
You do not need them for anything, they can only be a nuisance that nullifies whatever gains you made by exiting Nigeria.

Use them if you must since they are beggars without a choice, then discard them when they outlive their usefulness.

Don't be a fool to the Igbos, they only love fools as friends.

Ok so he no longer spent 51trillion on susbsidy? Next time you want to deceieve people with lies resembling thoughts of an IQ depleted person do so in a gathering of ipoop.

Obj, low oil price - paid subsidy and saved significant foreign reserves

Yardua good oil price paid subsidy and saved money

GEJ high oil prices, paid subsidy and saved very little.

Keep defending a man who wasted your future it is actually the smart thing to do for your level of intelligence.

Over the past 2 years, I have begun to have greater respect for Obasanjo and his economic management of Nigeria.

With little earnings in his 1st term, he increased workers salary, adjusted the pump price of petrol to reduce subsidy payment, increased our foreign reserves. The then finance minister was Malam Adamu Ciroma.

By his second term, he had already saved enough to pay up our Paris club debt negotiated by the new finance minister Okonjo Iweala. I am surprised that this same Okonjo Iweala continued to work in the Jonathan regime, even when it was obvious he was a disaster that was growing like a cancer.

Okonjo Iweala returned to oversee the enslavement of the thriving Nigerian economy that Yar'Adua bequeathed to Jonathan, back to the control of Western creditors who were not happy to lose a chicken that was laying golden eggs.

As for Jonathan, he remains a curse to this country.

I will be interested in what Okonjo Iweala has to say about this huge earnings not spent on infrastructure or better welfare for the citizenry.

stinflame:
True fact, but did he achieve that by been a dullard. He indeed put things right before achieving that,so I don't see any thing special. He deserve the increase

Was he the one that made the global oil price to sell so high for 4years?

If you claim he was, then why did he let the global oil price fall so low in his 5th year?

It is obvious you are an illiterate as far as the global oil market is concerned. The question remains, what did Jonathan achieve with our oil earnings?

vanbonattel:
You guys keep providing it here everyday.

The only thing buhari and his team of Co travellers came to do was allocate and share oil money? He had no single idea how to generate money or even manage a stagnating economy. As soon as oil went down, the government was cooked

The Nigerian state, during the five-year Presidency of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, earned a total of N51 trillion from petroleum resources. The money is part of the N96.212trillion the country earned in 58years of crude oil sales.



Of this princely sum, which accounts for about 80 per cent of the country’s revenue, only N12.258 trillion (just about 14% of total) has been paid to the oil producing areas as derivation.

The figure is N35.848 trillion less than the N48.106 trillion the oil-bearing regions should have received as derivation if 50 per cent derivation had not been jettisoned few years after crude oil became the chief revenue earner for Nigeria.

The figures are the outcome of research by Sunday Vanguard, relying on documents from the Petroleum Inspectorate, NNPC, CBN Annual Report and Statement of Account, Nigeria Bureau of Statistics and the Nigeria Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative, NEITI.

In the face of biting contemporary economic realities Nigerians are contending with, there is a consensus that the different tiers of government – federal, state and local government councils – have indeed squandered the nation’s earnings. Even the modest attempts at saving for the rainy day with the creation of, first, the Excess Crude Account, ECA -which suffered mismanagement occasioned by under-hand spending by the Federal Government that was supposed to hold the funds in trust – and, thereafter, the controversial and ineffectual Sovereign Wealth Fund, SWF – which became a subject of litigation and high-wire politicking between the Federal Government and the leadership of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF – suffered from the typically Nigerian insincere approach to economic management.

A breakdown of the earnings shows that between 1958 and 2007 (CBN Annual Report and Statement of Account, 2008), Nigeria earned N29.8 trillion from petroleum resources. And between 2008 and June 2016, the country generated N66.412 trillion.



Between 1958 and 1966, Nigeria earned N140 million from crude oil; 1967 to 1975, the General Yakubu Gowon got about N11.03 billion; while the late General Murtala Mohammed/ Olusegun Obasanjo military regime scooped about N25 billion from 1975-1979.

In like manner, the civilian administration of President Shehu Shagari earned N36 billion oil money; Buhari, in his first coming as military head of state (1984-85), earned about N25 billion; General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, 1985 to 1993, N420 billion; the Ernest Shonekan/Abacha regime (1993-1998), N1.6 trillion; and General Abdulsalami Abubakar regime (1998-1999), N350 billion.

With the return to civil rule, Nigeria, under President Obasanjo realised about N27 trillion from crude oil between May 1999 and May 2007. His successor, Umaru Yar’ Adua, reaped about N9 trillion in his almost three-year rule before he passed on.

The luckiest of the leaders is former President Goodluck Jonathan, whose administration in five years, between 2010 and 2015, earned about N51 trillion from petroleum resources. Since he came to power on May 29, 2015, the President Buhari administration has been able to earn just about N6 trillion from crude.

However, the huge earnings, since 1958, arguably, have translated to little or no improvement on the welfare of the citizenry, especially the people of the oil-producing areas, whose environment – land, water and air, has been adversely contaminated and, in many cases, devastated and polluted.

I will save the above information and paste it on every thread I see wailers complaining about the economy.

A lot of people need to be enlightened by this knowledge of a useless president Jonathan.

Pidggin:
And how much was GEJ using to subsidize the fuel you ingrates were buying for N87 or the Kerosene you were buying for N100? Now you are paying N145 with possible increase any time from now. With endless tax even right down to your bank transactions all going into this govt pocket with no accountability

So we are ingrates for asking what Jonathan did with all the money he earned and the ones he even inherited?

So you even know that the Buhari regime is not responsible for the harsh economic realities occasioned by very poor oil earnings, yet you remain such a bitter hypocrite?
You even have the guts to demand for accountability now, when you term us ingrates for requesting for accountability then.

We need a revolution to rid this country of cancerous anarchists like you.

http://saharareporters.com/2016/08/14/i-never-relied-your-advice-choose-buhari-tinubu-replies-tunji-abayomi

See finishing by Tinubu.

He really unravelled Tunji Abayomi using very simple and logical analyses.

You guys keep providing it here everyday.

The only thing buhari and his team of Co travellers came to do was allocate and share oil money? He had no single idea how to generate money or even manage a stagnating economy. As soon as oil went down, the government was cooked

You must be talking about Jonathan who emptied the treasury and did not plan for an economic life after oil, such that oil prices had only dropped in mid 2014 and by February 2015 with crude selling above $50 per barrel, the government of Jonathan was already borrowing money to pay civil servants salaries.

In April 2015, Okonjo Iweala disclosed that the government had already borrowed N470billion to pay salaries for February, March, April.

So whose government was cooked as a failure at the earliest signs of the oil crisis?

Whose regime had the dollar at $1 to N165 in mid 2014, then had the same dollar at $1 to N240 because of crude oil price drops? Whatever happened to all the foreign exchange reserves that ought to have been save?

Whose government was so nonchalant when the CBN governor detected that about $20billion dollars of crude sales did not accrue?
An allegations that the obviously sleeping finance minister now took up her responsibility to investigate and accept the claims of un-accrued oil funds to the tune of $10million.

I'm sure you're one of those who seem to be surprised that the dollar now sells at $1 to N395, as though crude oil price didn't further fall to $27 pb, and now struggling in the $40s pb range.

You should be shedding tears not laughing at your own stupidity.

vanbonattel:
And yet Goodluck did not waste his time to complain and wail against obasanjo, he rolled up his sleeves and worked his socks off, the economy prospered under him and things were beginning to look good for Nigerians.

Then came buhari the vengeful and sad leader who branded everyone a thief just because we dared to prosper. His only leadership style is to blame everyone except himself.

Why would Jonathan complain when he had a large till of reserves already piled up by Obasanjo and Yar'Adua to squander.

Did the 2 above presidents sell crude oil at such high and consistent price as Jonathan did?
Why did Jonathan not build up the reserves like his predecessors? Or what infrastructure did he spend it on? Was it to attain the 4000MW power OBJ already achieved in late 2006?

What did Jonathan do with our monies earned before him, despite earning much more in his own regime?

He rolled up his sleeves and stole the nation dry.

APCHaram:
Rubbish.

The only way they got a court order on the ECA is because it was never part of our constitution.

The ECA has its roots in the first gulf war windfall setup by IBB.

Obasanjo fought tooth and nail (even ignoring court orders) to ensure the ECA remained.

GEJ's only flaw on the ECA is that he obeyed the court order favoring the state governors stand on the illegality of the ECA.


At the end of the day, what did Aregberascal and co do with their share of the ECA?

You have no argument but only hatred and diversionary blame to spread here with your rubbish.

Was it also the governors or the court that got Okonjo Iweala to make ilegal withdrawals from the ECA on Jonathan's ilegal approval?

She initially denied the accusation when made by Oshiomhole, but when he persisted with fact, the liar finally "unlied" and told the truth.

While a murder suspect is contesting for National Publicity Secretary (NPS), a convicted felon of corrupt act is contesting for National Chairman.

Meanwhile, a boko haram sponsor is still laying claim to the chairmanship seat, while the erstwhile NPS is begging the government to allow him return the N400m special assignment fee and forget about court trial, after bragging endlessly in the beginning that he wanted to be charged to court.

The mafia called PDP!

Jonathan's first indication that he was going to be a failure as president, came with these Okah brothers / MEND bombing in Abuja on 1st October 2010.



No it wasn't MEND, I know my brothers (even after MEND had forwarned days before the event and claimed responsibility after the event). - Pres. Jonathan, 2nd October 2010.

Jonathan sought our help to implicate Babangida, Raymond Dokpesi and other Northern Politicians, as mastermind of our October 2010 bombing. - Mend, prior to PDP primaries in early 2011 that was contested by Babangida and Atiku etc versus Jonathan.

MEND wanted to assassinate me, but the secret service was aware of the threat, that's why they quickly drove me out of Eagle Square on the 1st October 2010 bombing. - Pres Jonathan , while campaigning for re-election in 2015.


Even Charles Okah once had to write a letter to Cardinal Okogie on the terrible prison conditions Jonathan ensured he was subjected to, while boko haram suspects were being treated like kings in the same prison, under the same administration of the Christian Pres. Jonathan. He was being punished for not cooperating with Jonathan to use the bombings to implicate political enemies.


One day, Jonathan will confess what relationship truly exists between him and MEND. At least we already know that Ali Modu Sheriff sponsored boko haram and gave them cabinet position in his state government as compensation for driving his election campaign to unseat Mala Kachalla. Eventually, the relationship went sour and Ali Modu Sherrif no longer had control over boko haram that now wanted control over the state.

This fallen miscreant is hell bent on demonizing Okorocha, Ikpeazu, and anyone else who saw through his charade.

He seems to be oblivious that even his foot soldiers have returned to their market stalls to sell their wares and fend for their families who do not live in comfort in the UK.

Olu20090:
Well said. As soon as Igbos left the management of the economy, everything went south. What we have today are below average Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani running things in the name of cyronism and nepotism, practically destroying everything that Igbos economic managers built under Obasanjo and GEJ. Even under Abacha...is economic team was nearly all Igbos, did a remarkable work that no administration has been able to match.

I'm happy the Igbos finally admit they have also been part of the leadership that ruined Nigeria from the '80s when we had an Igbo vice-president till now.

So Mr Igbos do it best, was Nigeria of 2015 better than Nigeria of 1979 when we had working refineries, better electricity supply, better train services, better currency and better health care and education?

As at 1979, Naira was greater than the Dollars.
After Igbo economic magic that you so proudly proclaim, as at 2015, Naira was N240 to $1.
Still under an Igbo CBN governor, Naira now N400 to $1.
Thanks to the great Igbos who have been managing our economy.

Only the Igbos get everything on merit in Nigeria, any other Nigerian must have got government appointments by quota, right?
Your greed for power is no different from the Hausa-Fulani that you love to hate. You both are 2 sides of the same coin.

Sctests:
Look at the so called #APCchanji politicians the yorubas wanf SE and SS to vote for.

But the certificate forging dishonourable of this report is a PDP man - a party you obviously support and voted for.

The APC challenger was rightly declared the winner and you PDP brother has been evicted from political office and would surely be charged to court like Salisu Buhari of the Buhari Toronto fame, also a PDP man of yours.

What a shame for you!

Flexherbal:
Our leaders are heartless.

Our followership is also soaking in corruption.

We need a violent and ruthless revolution in this country to soften the hardened hearts of the obstinately corrupt that might survive the purge.

But only Buhari is a real army officer and general.

He wore the uniform in his youth and served his country with a willingness to sacrifice his life.

Why didn't Mahama or Jonathan join the army in their youth?

2dugged:
but I said same thing on the ladies from zaria thread and then someone said that is how the average northerner looks like, fair and half caste like
https://www.nairaland.com/3277891/beauty-nigerian-women-kano-zaria/8#48357868

The average Northerner resemble the kids begging for alms and the almajiris, or the likes of Ahmadu Bello, Buhari, Ribadu, Maccido, Dasuki, Saad Abubakar.

All the above are Fulanis, are they fair in complexion?

If Fulanis or Hausas or Kanuris are fair skinned at all, they are no different from any other fair skinned African. The majority that Nigerians term Fulani are not Fulani but Tuareg or Berbers, or a mixture of Black African with Arab/Berber/Tuareg.

wheredemdey:
These fulanis dey fine sha.....and they never contaminate their blood and lineage by marrying outside their tribe......


Seems they hv different laws guiding the poor and the rich cos I hv never seen a fulani lady from a rich home marry early



Or is it only girls from poor homes that marry at 14yrs??

The ministers mum is British (of Arab descent or so).

Fulanis are not fair skinned. Any fair skinned Fulani is definitely mixed with Tuareg, Berber or Arab.

1930's really?

What proof that these she-men are Igbos or that this is the 1930s with such primitive unclothedness of the 11th century?

The heart of man is desperately wicked.

Chai! May I never come across these set of souless humans above.

I don't see the FBI chasing after her seeing that she's the most wanted fugitive in the USA as Fayose would have us believe?

Now let Fayose pay a visit to the USA to investigate why she was not arrested.
