And Yes, If The incoming federal Government decides to stop the ongoing Amnesty Programs, The Whole Of The Region will go up in Heavy Smoke. It's as simple as Chess.

To start with, chess is NOT a simple game. Is it everybody from the South South that enjoys the largesse from the Amnesty programme? What happens to the over 98% of people not receiving amnesty claims?

Rather than ask the FG not to stop, you should be asking the FG to expedite actions in the region.

Mind you, what you've stated here is a threat! Don't call a spade a shovel. I'm from the Isoko as well...

Spanish is a part of the Ibero-Romance group
of languages, which evolved from several
dialects of common Latin in Iberia after the
collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the
5th century. It was first documented in
central-northern Iberia in the 9th century and
gradually spread with the expansion of the
Kingdom of Castile into central and southern
Iberia.

Italian ( italiano or lingua italiana) is a
Romance language

Portuguese (português or, in full, língua
portuguesa)[nb 1] is a Romance language

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_language

Catalan (/ˈkætəlæn/;[4] autonym: català [kətə
ˈɫa] or [kataˈɫa]) is a Romance language named
for its origins in Catalonia, in what is
northeastern Spain and adjoining parts of
France. It is the national and only official
language of Andorra,[5] and a co-official
language of the Spanish autonomous
communities of Catalonia, the Balearic Islands,
and the Valencian Community (where the
language is known as Valencian, and there
exist regional standards). It also has semi-
official status in the city of Alghero on the
Italian island of Sardinia. It is also spoken with
no official recognition in parts of the Spanish
autonomous communities of Aragon (La Franja) and Murcia (Carche), and in the historic French region of Roussillon/Northern Catalonia, roughly equivalent to the department of Pyrénées-Orientales.

Did you notice Romance in the language of the above 4 territories?

Basque is different but very small and is native to both Spain and France. Not unusual...just as we have Izons native to Ondo.

To all those saying that itsekiri is a dialect of yoruba I want to ask

Since spanish latin itallian and portueguese have similarities wud u say one is a dialect of one?

They are all Latin with little variants...if u don't believe, ask Mourinho.

omenka:
Obiano seems to be a reasonable man, focussed and mature. He should remain in his party and rally men of like minds to form a strong opposition party that could mitigate likely excesses from APC.

Much as I support APC, one cannot deny the importance of having a vibrant opposition. It is the only way to deepen democracy and promote good governance.

Joining the APC will actually create the opposition you are talking about. Anambra is a PDP state (though APGA is at the centre). PDP has all the federal law makers seats and will yet win most in the House of Assembly. With APGA dying a natural death...what say you?

As a matter of fact, I think APGA should merge with a biGGer party...

Yugosng:
How exactly does he plan to stop Obiano? With force?

I no understand sef

I know, my Oga.

The story is still there and so with many other fake stories there ..if you checked that link well.

Lalasticlala can't put this on FP for lack of sauce.

It is on ChannelsTv news bar that he's been served impeachment notice

Shymexx1:
It seems a sizable population of Yorubas don't trust the North, and perhaps the VP position is more or less inconsequential to them. Then probably religion, the bribed Yoruba groups/elders, dollarisation, and smear campaign.

The freaking Ogun Ijebus/Remos are a classic example - they look like Ekiti folks right about now. Thank God for the Egbas who used their votes rightly. Those clowns didn't even vote for their own son.

But still enough to kick GEJ out.

You are right about the Remos. I was quite devastated when I saw Sagamu result. Inspite of the trouble most of us went through. What played in the favour of PDP is the amount of support Ladi had gained through his heavy spending. Ogijo, Sotubo and those areas delivered to APC... Most polling units in my ward (4) delivered as well.

But as people were voting for Ladi, they were extending the gesture to Buruji and GEJ

Presidential Final Result Zaria. APC: 127,281 | PDP: 4603

Ekiti state: PDP-176351 APC-120308 Diff=56403

I hear say our amiaBle Senate President has lost his seat...

Is that true??

Anybody with the info?

Where is buhari as we speak this moment? UK or Nigeria?

All things being equal.., he is in the air now and should touch down in Nigeria by 6am tomorrow morning via a British Airways Flight #083

Habeebpain:
1.Breaking Traffic Laws: You know you are breaking the law by driving in the opposite direction of traffic but you feel it will get you to your destination faster and you go ahead with your plan. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it doesn’t and you end up causing a traffic jam and wasting the time of other road users.

It is annoying when as Nigerians we scream for change but we are not willing to start with ourselves. You see stupid drivers breaking traffic laws and still claim that they are right. It’s a pity there’s no true test of driving skills in Nigeria or else a lot of drivers would have had their licences seized.

2. Erecting Large Signposts at Junctions and Bends: I think there’s a shortage of sensible people at the agencies that grant permits for signposts because I see no reason why a signpost should be erected in such a way that it prevents drivers from seeing vehicles coming at a bend or junction. Sometimes you even have multiple signposts at a place with each one trying to overshadow the other. Don’t we learn anything from “Oyinbo” movies? Can’t you see that their signposts are usually tall and on a single pole when placed at a junction or bend?

3. Refusing to construct proper sewage system for your house: This one is very annoying. People will build houses and not make arrangement for drainage. All they do is make a small channel that takes all bodily fluids and “yamayama” water to the main road filling the whole neighbourhood with stench. Some people are even worse, they throw their wash water on the main road even though there’s a gutter in front of the house. And when you call their attention to the damage they are causing, they see you as an enemy. I think all CDAs should make it a law that landlords must make provision for proper sewage disposal. Whoever fails to do so should be fined and of he/she refuses, they should report to the appropriate authorities.

Apart from the fact that it is an unhygienic act that can lead to outbreak of diseases and infections, it also damages the roads. Some roads are always wet even though it hasn’t rained in months. We complain that the government doesn’t build good roads but when they do we fail to maintain them.

4. Throwing litter anywhere we deem fit: majority of Nigerians are bad at disposal. We throw away our trash anywhere we think is right: on the road, in the drainage, schools, even mosques and churches aren’t left out. This is a very bad attitude we need to stop.
I know the waste disposal system is very poor in Nigeria as most of the masses live in areas that are “inaccessible” to waste trucks. But we can still strive to keep our environment clean. It costs you nothing to put that sweet or biscuit wrapper in your pocket or in a corner of your bag till you get to a place where there is a bin. It might seem like a little thing to do but I believe when the little ones see you doing so they’ll emulate it.

5. Selling on the road/Pedestrians route: This one is terribly annoying. I will divide this into 2 groups. One, those who setup their wares/goods on the road leaving the pedestrian walkway behind them and those who extend their shops and block the road meant for pedestrians.
These two sets of people endanger their lives and that of pedestrians. Imagine you are trying to dodge a motorcycle that is headed your way and instead of climbing on to the pavement meant for pedestrians you bump right into the fish seller who has set up her stall on the pavement. Unfortunately for you, your head is placed directly in front of her as she brings down the cleaver to cut the fish….. I hope you get the picture.
The pedestrian route is meant for walking not for selling. If you know someone who does this, please correct them. I know they are trying to survive in this harsh economy but two wrongs don’t make a right.


These are the 5 annoying things Nigerians do. I actually have more but these 5 are top on the list.

Another operation "KICK AGAINST INDISCIPLINE" perhaps?

@hotmass. This is one major quagmire I'm trying to sort at the moment...how to get land preferably in Ogun State and how much it will take to clear it.

What is the capacity of the bulldozer you're using; is it a d8, d7, d6 or d5?

From your calculations now...how much did you clear an hectare?

Give me an advice...how can I easily get a sizable land from your experience apart from renting from the state government?

Btw, no real progressive should be happy seeing that thief and muderer coming in their fold. A governor that never for once paid civil servants salaries for straight three months without stopping. Besides, the dude is dead politically. Mbadinuju is a political chaff.

Unfortunately, a political party is like a church where u can't chase even the devil away...u just have to accommodate him

thev0ice1:
i noticed this on the Addis Ababa project

Huawei supplied telecoms and fare collection equipment, while CNR Changchun has supplied 41 three-section 70% low-floor light rail vehicles. These are designed to run in pairs at up to 70 km/h, and have tinted windows and rubber components specified to resist premature aging from the effects of strong sunlight at altitudes of 2 400 m.

Note the bolded portion. How many vehicles are included in the FG project? it's not indicated in the Vanguard write up

Also while i DO NOT agree with the monorail project of Ameachi because i think it'll achieve little in terms of number of people that it'll be able to transport (i stayed in PH and have seen it), the cost varies depending on which news outlet you wish to quote e.g see what Thisday said http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/ameachi-n74bn-rivers-monorail-ready-by-sept/139562/

For the lagos light rail, i don't really know anything about it as i don't stay in lagos hence can't give on-the-spot assessment as i can give about that of PH. However, we need to know if it's on the ground like the FG project or if it's at an elevated altitude therefore propped by pillars like Amaechi's project which will undoubtedly increase it's cost.

A lot of factors to bring into the discussion but whatever, i DO NOT support waste of resources.

That of Lagos is at an elevated altitude with a sizable portion over the Lagos lagoon...

barcanista:
Let me use this medium to commend Jomo Gbomo and the entire MEND for not selling out like those criminals called IYC. The IYC is the most disgraceful organisation in the Niger Delta. Their hypocritical stance as regards Ijaw's interest will be told to all Ijaw sons and daughters. They have abandoned their primary aim to partisan politics, not even the politics that favors the Ijaw Nation or the Nigeria state but their own bellies. MEND since time immemorial are consistent in their demands for the enmancipation of the Niger Delta People, this is the same thing the Great Major Jasper Adaka Boro stood for. We don't seek to antagonise anybody, all we need is for better living of the Niger Deltans and the Nigeria state, this is the Spirit of Ijaw. Sadly, it is the complete opposite that we see under GEJ's administration. We shall continue to campaign for a change in government, and by the grace of God, Muhammadu Buhari will be elected. #SAI BUHARI



God Bless MEND
God Bless Niger Delta
God Bless the Ijaw Nation
God Bless Nigeria

Are u an Ijaw man?

sCun:
Yorubas always giving advice to the Igbos lol.
It is beginning to look like you guys need an Igbo President more than even Igbos themselves.
Be rest assured, you cannot blackmail Igbos into voting Buhari with all these yeye permutations.
The same guys that always accuse Igbos of tribalism are always the first to talk about Igbo President.

You can call me a Yoruba because I was born in the West.., I still live in the West but by blood, I'm from the SS. And mind you, I've not asked you to vote GMB...you are at liberty to vote who you will. What you quoted are just my thoughts on Ibo politics...and trust me, it won't do me a thing if an Ibo never becomes president

Mrbigman1:
Nwanna, u re so matured and a real politician. This ve go me thinking exactly and I believe they know what dey re doing and re gradually telling d pdp dat d boat is changing course. But with what happened during the selection of d vp for APC, dey seem not to ve any clear love for us. APC ve done well in d west and with or without a candidate from dia can fetch up to 60% of dia vote on dia, but dey totally ignored us.
If GEJ wanna get real votes, he should divorce his wife not anyone else. Dat my opinion.

My brother, the truth be told, the Ibos are the most disorganised politically. I was seriously hoping that they lobby for and get the running-mate ticket of the APC at all cost. Amaechi would have been rejected by the Ibos and so would have been Rochas...however, there is an Ngige whom I believe showed no interest. Moreover, those that can actually lobby are few and far between.

More so, no one knows how the Ibos will react... Will it bring sympathy to APC? Hence, the best bet is to solidify the West. But then, I wanted an Ibo vice that will most likely take over after Buhari (if he wins) in 2019/2023.

The Ibos should start thinking outside of their region...make alliances...start having ambitions (something APGA is a failure at). How do they campaign for Jona by the way?

The Ibos should wake up politically, achieve their aims strategically rather than cry foul or try to bully which has not worked for them till date.

One important question for me is:

* what significance will Nigeria's vote had have? Is the vote tied at the moment and its Nigeria is holding the fate of Palestine - to be or not to be?

Is it by Nigeria vote?

However, I just hate people bringing religion and nepotism in our politics...shows we are still living in 1670 while the rest of the world is in 2015.

Ikengawo:
Benin doesn't have yoruba roots.
a yoruba monarch went to Bini to rule the bini people and became the Oba of Bini but that doesn't mean the people there are Yoruba and they don't claim to be either. The Igbo Jaja of Opobo ruled the Ijaw island of Opobo, but that doesn't make the Ijaws on that Island 'originate' from Igbos.

But story sey nobody know where Jaja come from...him don b Ibo now? And na which part of Ijaw land this Opobo dey?

Caseless:
Nonsense! You shall spend that 5 years in jail by God's grace.

No now, the man na my brother o

What happy news. The two boys - Rafael and Michael who were abducted from their home in Isheri Magodo Estate, Lagos on Sunday December 8th have been found. They were found in Shagamu today...and have re-united with their parents.

Thank God...

Shagamu? How come I no come across them? Is d maid caught? I bet she is Ogoja...

Jonathan does not have a resume because he doesn't have any experience other than a ceremonial Phd given to him. He is a failure!!

Like seriously? Is his Doctorate degree a ceremonial one?

As far as I'm concerned, all of them are the same. They speak the same language albeit with little differences. It still baffles me how the Isokos are different from the Urhobos...the languages are very similar as well

Sunnybobo3:
Section 68 (g) (1) is very clear and unambiguous. Maybe the police should also wait for the court to declare someone caught robbing a robber before arresting him.

Why would a killer be regarded as "suspects" until pronounced guilty in a law court?

I think the National Judicial Council and the Nigerian Bench (or whatever they call themselves) ought to sue Abba and his caricature force for out-stepping their bounds and other numerous charges that can be levelled against the useless force.

So, who issued the arrest warrant?

What are investigating by the way?

Spot on bros on Gbenga Daniel. Thank God for Amosun who has levelled these boys. For over a year now, no cult related shooting has taken place in Sagamu. We can now go about freely without thinking a stray bullet can run into anybody.

Do u live in Ijebu-Ode?
