Mangekyo:
But how can these northerners showcase this kind of wickedness? Do they not have conscience? Have you ever been to the Niger Delta where these oils are extracted to see how the sorroundings look like? Stuffs like this pollute the air, the rivers and even the land. People who live around that place suffer because of it and yet you still have the AUDACITY to reduce the share allocated to them. What kind of animals are these?
Pls my fellow Niger Deltans, we should all wake up to reality. This zoo isn't for us, it's so obvious. If the Niger Delta Avengers are in need of men, they should quickly alert. This country should never move forward with this level of wickedness

Katsina To Re-introduce Community, Cattle Tax System

Finally, after 65 years of Aminu Kano and Ahmadou Bello removing the colonial cattle tax in northern Nigeria.

The current state government in Katsina has come to realise that with dwindling oil revenue and conflicts between the North and the South cattle tax is a good source of revenue and security control.

As part of a renewed effort to create ways of revenue generation, the Katsina State government has concluded plans to re-introduce the community and cattle tax system.

Governor Aminu Bello Masari disclosed this when he received Barrister Umar Adamu, the chairman of Tax Appeal Tribunal of the Northwest zone and other members on a courtesy visit at the Government House Katsina on Thursday.

Masari said the state government had constituted a committee that visited all the 34 LGAs, held town hall meetings to sensitize the people and their respective views on the matter.

According to him, during the committee’s assignment, many people attributed that part of the current insecurity challenges could be as a result of improper data or record on ownership of cattle either by the people or the herders.

He also revealed that his administration is coming up with a reform to improve the activities of the state Board of Internal Revenue and other relevant agencies to ensure their viability for the benefit of the people and the state.

The governor noted that the existence of the tax appeal tribunal is quite important for both tax administrators and payers to creating awareness on the issue of taxation for economic growth.

He, therefore, stressed the need for adequate sensitization of the people on the activities of the tribunal to enable it to achieve the desired objective.

“The current revenue allocation formula from the federation account may not continue forever, hence the need for states to devise measures and alternative sources to stand on their feet,” he concluded.

In his remark, Barrister Adamu the chairman of Tax Appeal Tribunal of the Northwest zone commended the state government for its foresight and assured that proper sensitization exercise would be carried out for the benefit of the citizens and stakeholders to enable them to reap the benefits of the tribunal.

It's obvious

That's why North's best strategy is always to instigate the West against the East and vice versa.

If SW and SE ever manage to find a common ground, they would whip illiterate but violent North to line

Professor from Ghana telling us about Nigeria

The Igbo and the Yoruba must admire the dreams of the future more than the history of the past. They must do it not just for their children’s children but also for all those children from East to West, North to South, trapped in prisons of mediocrity and death, which are the only gift of an unfair, unjust, and dysfunctional Nigeria.

'Nigeria cannot defeat the Igbo and Yoruba at the same time'

The greatest thing Nigerians accomplished in the last thirty years was electing Muhammadu Buhari as president. If he had lived and died without being president, no one would push back when politicians fall over themselves to deliver tributes and call him the greatest president that Nigeria never had.

After six years of Buhari’s administration and with only two more years to go, all is settled about the rhymes and stanzas of Buhari’s elegy. Some thirty years from now, people will stone anyone who attaches “greatest ” to any tribute at Buhari’s funeral.

You may ask if anything is worth the cost of having Buhari as president?

Before you do, there is another reason why his election was the greatest accomplishment of the Nigerian electorate in the last 30 years. If Buhari had not been president, if his incompetence had not been exposed to the uninitiated, Nigeria would have continued its zigzag path. The one-step-forward, two-steps-backwards trajectory would have continued unabated.

Thus, Buhari helped the unrestructured Nigeria to confront its foreseeable future. That is Buhari’s first legacy.

Here is Buhari’s second legacy: It may not be clear yet to the Fulani people, but Buhari’s presidency has damaged them more than any other group in Nigeria. Buhari’s inability to have an objective view of what leadership entails in a diverse country like Nigeria and his propensity to side with his Fulani people even when every donkey could see the bias undermined the Fulani deeply. He diminished whatever legitimate claim they have in what is clearly a fast-moving degenerative Nigeria’s structural carnage. The Fulani were better off in Nigeria six years ago than they are today. That is Muhammadu Buhari’s second legacy.

In the context of Nigeria’s nationhood, Buhari’s second coming was a necessary evil: He came, he saw, and he hastened its ruination for everyone.

If Buhari had not been president, Nigeria would have been ‘managing.’ The Peoples Democratic Party of Goodluck Jonathan and Sambo Dasuki and Diezani Allison-Madueke would have been paying Dangote to rob Otedola, even as the country continued the slide down the valley of death. Buhari accelerated the collapse by taking the country on a bungee jump down the deepest part of the valley using a frayed rope.

The rope is breaking. Anyone with functioning ears can hear the splitting threads from miles away. High above the deepest part of the valley, Nigeria barely holds on to Buhari’s back. Two things will happen: Either Nigeria loses its grip on Buhari’s back and falls into the valley of death, or the rope rips and both Nigeria and Buhari plunge down the valley. Either way, death is the expected end.
The only miracle on the horizon is to get Nigeria to a place where it cannot fight the Igbo and the Yoruba nations simultaneously.

In a one-on-one fight, Nigeria may defeat any of its components. Nigeria may defeat the Igbo. Nigeria may run over the Yoruba. Nigeria may crush the Ijaw, the Ibibio, the Tiv, the Ijaw, the Kanuri, the Fulani, the Bachama, the Idoma, the Urhobo, etc. Nigeria cannot defeat the Igbo and the Yoruba at the same time. In a fight between Nigeria on one side and an Igbo-Yoruba alliance on the other, many ethnic minority groups will take the side of the alliance.

Whether the fight is in the physical or spiritual realm, whether it is in the democratic realm or the ideological realm, Nigeria has no chance of winning a fight against the combined forces of the Igbo and the Yoruba. For a table with three legs, one leg has no chance of keeping the table standing when the other two legs take a knee. The Igbo and Yoruba need to take a combined knee. That is the ultimate way to shake the table called Nigeria.

Nigeria needs to get to a point where it faces the prospect of fighting a united Igbo and Yoruba power. It needs to happen now. That reality needs to be clear, concrete, and ironclad. It is the only magic wand that can save Nigeria.

Is it easy to achieve? No. Is it possible? Yes.

What will it take to get Nigeria to that place where it risks fighting the Igbo and the Yoruba simultaneously?

The way to achieve this is for the Igbo and the Yoruba to embrace Thomas Jefferson’s greatest philosophy. The man who drafted the U.S. Declaration of Independence said, “I admire the dreams of the future more than the history of the past.”

The Igbo and the Yoruba must admire the dreams of the future more than the history of the past. They must do it not just for their children’s children but also for all those children from East to West, North to South, trapped in prisons of mediocrity and death, which are the only gift of an unfair, unjust, and dysfunctional Nigeria.

The Igbo and the Yoruba owe this to future generations of the people currently trapped in Nigeria. It is their responsibility. Posterity will blame the Igbo and the Yoruba in Nigeria if they fail to catch the wave. Thanks to Buhari’s misadventures, the awareness of today is total and overwhelming. Severe penalties await the Igbo and the Yoruba if they fail to act now and free unborn generations from the manacles of Muhammadu Buhari’s.

Electronic transmission of result is risky.
Nigeria is not ripe for such now, haaaa even manual self no easy na automatic
USA that transmit results electronically are always at longerhead over interference from foreign countries(i.e 2015 election; Russia)

SANDAT:
When it suits your interest you talk about middle belt helping to advance your southern interest,. In times of unrest you attack every body from the North on sight as Hausa. Just carry your cross abeg

SANDAT:
The Southern Senators allowed the bill pass through because they used their heads to reason that if more oil is discovered in the North there will be more money for all tiers of Government. That is what matters in this time of lack of funds.

Gentlerespect76:
When you consider the ratio of southern senators to that of their northern counterparts you would realize that Nigeria is a fraud.

ReubenE:
There are 3 senators each from the 36 states, and 1 senator from the FCT.

The senators from the North alone cannot form 2/3 majority to pass a bill. There must be willing senators from the South to form that number.

Legislators from the South, as far as this matter is concerned are just irresponsible.

They are corrupt morons that can't stand their Northern counterparts for reasons best known to them.

daywatcher:
Your last sentence is 100% fact

mrvitalis:

South south taught they could do it alone ...allow us make our choices blah blah blah

This is what their big brothers have been shielding them from since 1975 ...well oil pipe line run through Igbo land n south west too

So they left them to see how national politics is played


Middle belt have been praying n hopening for the kind of protections igbos n partly yorubas give south south from north ( core north ) but no ...while south south wants to play national politics

See if u are not a majority tribe u are not it's the reality of Nigeria honestly

Beehshorp:
You guys should bring out an Igbo man for president, within 5 years Nigeria will become dubai.

aremuforlife:
It will be suicidal for the north to ask for power in 2023, power should be moved to the south and we can decide who should pilot the country. The northern region are having their field days, the southerners will also have theirs.

Angelfrost:
Nah... Not at all. On the contrary he is far smarter than most so called Profs in the South.

A man who has single-handedly elevated every Northern elite at the expense of Southerners without even pretending or batting an eyelid, while most Southern politicians are merely kowtowing hoping to get appointments when he leaves office.

Who is more stupid between an average Northerner and a Southerner??! Be honest with yourself.

theFilmtric:
These guys have an agenda


Regionalism or disintegration now!

While Rano was said to have come under Fulani reign in the year 1819 with the help of a Fulani herder, it was documented that Rano has been practicing Islam even before the coming of the Fulani and that was why Rano was not successfully captured even though Kano was, captured in 1804. The Fulani invasion of Rano put to an end the era of the last ‘Habe’ ruler, Sarki Jatau and his palace and shrine were destroyed and Dikko was made the first Fulani emir of Rano. Dikko was however, killed before he could build another palace for himself.

Southerners who don't know yet that the Northern caliphates have declared war on the rest of the country ,then such a person is daft.

Miranda warning is a type of notification customarily given by police to criminal suspects in police custody (or in a custodial interrogation) advising them of their right to silence; that is, their right to refuse to answer questions or provide information to law enforcement or other officials. These rights are often referred to as Miranda rights.

Your rights when being questioned
The police must explain this to you by reading you the police caution: “You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.”

DWJOBScom:
That's why happens when you have media trials and have Judges like Binta Nyako.

The same way everyone is screaming blue black over Chidinma and pulling stunt with stories
