Pray for Northern Nigeria

They don't deserve prayers. African Americans are fighting for their human and civil rights by protesting on the streets of the USA. Northern Nigerians want political power without hard work or sacrifice.

HappyCanadian:
The first step in solving Nigeria's problem is by providing uninterrupted power supply without doing this we are going nowhere

Why not dedicated the grid power infrastructures to industries and leave Nigerian household on generators until solar and batteries become a viable option to replace generators and PMS.

planet4:
Why do Nigeria waste money building pipe line to favor the North. Can't the power plant be built in ajaokuta since the gas is located there. Nonsense and ingredient. This Northern agenda will end one day.

Is there gas in the North?

Natural gas is a commodity, it can either be extracted and process in the Niger Delta or purchase from an external country, but it will still require a pipeline for transfer to its target market.

BTW I don't support or like Buhari but I support this initiative.

slyfox35:
This lockdown has been hard on almost everyone, any money you use for foodstuff, your pocket go feel am.

Apparently, this family of five have been staying at one corner in my compound without paying rent.

Some guys came today to fix the mosquito nets on the windows when they spotted the den of these animals.

Na so we descend on their den with water,we eventually caught four,one remaining inside, their Papa I guess,that guy stubborn gan,upon all the water,e nor come out,no wahala, he should be there, I have collected my rent in kind.

They call it African Giant Rat, We call it Rabbit
Ofiontor.

bloody savage.

Kizyte:
Magu go and sit down! You're as useless as the corruption you claim to fight.

You fight young boys who bring into the country what they got from the White. And you uphold old men who take our money and resources to white men's country.

I for say make thunder fire you, but I'll not say it because I'm a good guy.

The young yahoo-yahoo boy will soon grow up to be the old corrupt politician.

ERockson:
Very nice! If it was Aba the noise would have been We are the best in the world, The most industrious, Give us Biafra today and we will be like China in 10years etc

Sometime in business, you must learn how to market yourself. The North must do more than allowing the global narrative to be about corrupt governors, beggars and violence. Tell the world that the North is about agriculture, light industrial development and clean cities etc


The Igbo's and promoting the SE as a place to do business, the North must learn do the same.

thesicilian:
If they give it to Nigerians to manage within 5yrs they'll wreck the whole place with tribalism and corrupt practices.

The project is doom to fail.

Peugeot, VW, Fiat and Mercedes were all operated by European and they all had auto assembly plants in Nigeria and still failed because the cost of production was too high and the country lack the supply chain to support auto manufacturing.

The governor should not be involved in car assembly. Government focus should be on building the infrastructure platform( industrial estate, roads, rails, schools, police station, sewage systems ) and let the Israeli company build its own factory if they consider that there is a market for their investment.

The Ghananian government letter stated that they express regret of the incident.

Where is the apology?

I notice that majority of the projects in Akwa Ibom are done by this company VKS Nigeria Construction Ltd. I like to know the owners of the company and why projects are not open to a competitive bidding process.

jidamsel43:
This governor should be voted the next President of Nigeria.

That is my personal opinion

I doubt the South will want another Northerner as their president, the culture of the North is different from the South. Zulum will make a brilliant president for the Arewa Republic.

Sammy07:
Both our presidents (past and present) and service chiefs (past and present) are just clueless.

I don't know why we have Air Force in the first place

How long does it take to order Fighter jets or whatever they bought, and clear up the communities.

They can't deliver electricity in 65 years, yet you want them to operate a fighter jet squadron in 5 years.

The chicken have come to roost.

They need more schools and hospitals.


Enough with this religion crap.

Shooyie:
Look tradermoni was a genuine scheme and to ensure that goes on, it was institutionalized to allow provision for welfare of citizens on the long run.

How do you measure tradermoni so-called success?

Tradermoni is a scam used to hoodwink ignorant and desperate Nigerians.

NGpatriot:
I was actually expecting you to list the infrastructures your educated southern leaders built on behalf of Nigerians and also explain to us why our southern leaders are not responsible for any meaningful infrastructure in Nigeria instead of ignorantly gyrating to attention deficit disorder with irrelevant rubbish about bandits.

Of course when ignorant people like you can not defend your ignorant, bigoted and unintelligent rubbish, you latch on to another ignorant, bigoted and irrelevant nonsense.

Again, list accomplishments of your educated southern leaders.

Ignorant and illiterate bigots.

Ignorant tribalist, I wouldn't waste my precious weekend responding to your trash request.

musa234:
For how long are we gonna continue like this? Innocent Northerners dying and suffering because of Buhari's incompetence. Too bad.

They are not innocent, they supported this way of life and the political leaders that are now leading them into oblivion. Just look at Mali and Niger, you will see the future of Nigeria.

Hedonisco:
Annoying country. You don't know the source of the money and yet you're rushing to freeze the account, initiate forfeiture processes, and arrest the poor woman. Have you established that the money was proceeds of crime?

So someone abroad cannot send money to his own mother again. Everybody must remain poor. Stupid idiots.

Try and think before you write, any irregular activity in your bank account must trigger an investigation, that is the law in the country to prevent Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of illicit funds. We have these laws in Europe, the Americas and Asia. That's why criminals use offshore accounts to transfer and hide illicit funds

Shooyie:
I don't agree with you because I believe Osinbajo is a competent man. Let's not be quick to forget his actions while he was the acting president. Also, the initiatives he spearheads are always a success.

Like tradermoni during the election season

How do you measure the success of tradermoni or school feeding programme during Covid-19 lockdown?

TheRareGem1:
Typical IPOB member. Jealousy and hatred is ingrid in you. Reason for lowly life and acute or no growth. What a shame

I am now IPOB and Igbo because I disagree with you, no wonder Nigeria youths are in a complete mess.

What has Osinbanjo accomplish that now make him the messiah?

He is the vice president of a failing country. Nigeria is now beset with violence, debt has gone through the roof, there are no significant reforms to either restructure the country or reform an expensive government.

TheRareGem1:
Nigerians are wiser now. Cast your mind back to the last general election and look at how he handled the affairs of the nation while he was acting. It' boils down to what you have achieve. The era of sweet talking is gone. It's osinbajo for president come 2023 or nothing. Not negotiable, not debatable, not arguable, and confirm.

You are out of your mind, Osinbajo is weak and irrelevant, he can't preside over the toilet in his house.

If the Yoruba's are serious they should sit down with the Igbo's and identify a true leader that can lead the country out of the morass of poverty, violence and ignorance.

NGpatriot:
Not surprised that you are void of the capacity to read, comprehend and digest simple English words, but I'll just go ahead and break down to granular and elementary level that subscribe to.


1. You blamed everything on ignorance and quota system, but we've had and still have people from all the 4 corner walls of Nigeria as participants in every administration from Yoruba, Hausa, Ibo and everything inbetween so where is the quota system?

2. Was Jona a product of a quota system? Were all ibo his appointees as directors, managers, ambassadors and so on were products of the quota system?

3. The so-called uneducated illiterates in the North that ignorants and bigots like you love to belittle with the quota system rubbish performed better than the so-called educated incompetents from the south, Jona and his worthless PHD was the most useless, crooked, corrupt and incompetent ever.

4. Nearly all the critical and major infrastructures in Nigeria were built by leaders from the North.

5. 1st and 2nd NB were built by Northern leaders

6. 3rd Mainland was built by Northern leaders

7. 30 years abandoned Warri Itakpe railway completed by a northerner.

8. 13 years left for dead on the drawing board Lagos Ibadan railway was started and completed by a Northers

9. Lagos Ibadan express was left to decay, to rot and ultimately abandoned by southern leaders, it too a norther to give it the need attention once and for all.

10. Zik mausoleum was abandoned by southern leaders including PHD Jona for 26 years, but a northern leader completed it in no time.

Now, do you see how ignorant and bigoted you sound?

Before your next ignorant post, make sure you show up with the achievements of the so-called educated non-quota system southern leaders.


Ignorant bigots with upside-down mentality.

Rubbish,


So-called Northern leaders that can't protect their own people from bandits, Fulani herders and terrorist.

They build some rails and roads for $2 billion and then steal $40 billion. Yet, this idiot thinks they are developing Nigeria.

TheRareGem1:
If you watch the interactive discussion between VP Osinbajo and HRH Sanusi Lamido, you will understand what this admin is doing, have done and what they have in plan to do. With Osinbajo's Master Plan (ESC report), there is hope and Nigerians will enjoy the dividend of democracy.

Rubbish, a country living on hope.

The country is imploding with violence, debt and incompetence rulers.

Osinbajo's Master Plan = Tinubu for the presidency.

NGpatriot:
So, the quota system was responsible for installing Jona into office, was also responsible for 8 years of OBJ and 16 years of wholescale looting and stealing regime.

The quota system also made Jona load up his administration with ibo people left and right as ministers, directors, agency GMs, ambassadors and so on even though after their years in office, they left a trail of abandoned projects all over Nigeria, empty treasury and seriously hemorrhaging economy.

The ibo finance minister was borrowing hundreds of billions of Naira every month to pay workers salary till her last days in office, she declared austerity measures in 2014 when oil was selling for $77/barrel.

Was the quota system responsible for that ibo incompetence and gross mismanagement of our finances?

The Lagos Ibadan Railway sat on the drawing board for 13 years from OBJ to Jona, but thank God for your ignorant and perceived quota system people, PMB tose to the occasion and finished the project in less than 4 years.

The same Lagos Ibadan railway cost $1.3 billion, but the $2.7 billion Jona stole and gave to Dasuki to share with his conies was enough to build 2 Lagos Ibadan railway.

How come the quota system people always the only people bold and willing to build infrastructures in your SE states?

Tafa Balewa built your 1st Niger Bridge while your ibo and PDP useless people denied you the 2nd Niger bridge for 30 years until another quota system president aka PMB showed up to construct the bridged for you.

ZIK mausoleum was abandoned by your non-quota system uncles, PDP and your forever loving Jona, but who rose to the occasion and completed the project in less than 3 years? Another quota system president.

Moral of your bigoted, ignorant and pedestrian story, the quota system people are obviously more competent, more credible, more caring and accomplished than all your useless and incompetent leaders.


The sad and pathetic joke is on you.

What has Jonathan or PDP got to do with my article?

Stupid Nigerian that cannot critically analyse a simple subject.

seapson:
can u see y I always blame Buhari?

Five years as minister of petroleum, yet the refineries are still idle and operate at a loss

thegreengooner:
Also wrong...it doesn't work like that

it does! Do you have any other reason why NNLG operation is a success story?

While the majority of Nigeria government-controlled organisations are failures, NNPC can't even operate basic oil refineries.

nairavsdollars:
Hypocrite. Why didn't he speak up when Sowore was arrested?

Sowere is a southerner attacking the Northern hierarchy structure.

Greenarrow01:
Egypt been able to convince the AU guys. It is clear that okonjo is the best candidate, and their candidate can't beat okonjo.
But what they should ask themselves is that, will their candidate be able to beat other candidates from other regions?
Buhari should do something, thats why I like OBJ, man na pure diplomat and authority

The best thing to do is still present ngozi, look for support of other African countries, I am sure countries outside Africa will still support njozis nomination, it is not compulsory to go with a consensus candidate.
Ngozi has contacts of all these Liberia and co president too. I am sure

What are her achievements in international trade?

The resources wasted on exploring for oil across the country, if invested in Agriculture would have turned Nigeria into the breadbasket of Africa.

thegreengooner:
NNPC is actually the majority shareholder with 49%

The combine holders (IOC)of the 51% make the decision.

Diego1989:
At least the contractor accepted the blame.

Who else is to blame?

They should persecute the contractor and the road safety inspector that sign off this fraudulent bridge. Nigerians must understand that "enforcement of the law" is the beginning of the war against corruption.

Tareq1105:
What about his HSC results that he only presented testimonial and not a certificate?

He claimed he did A levels to gain admission to University of Ibadan at 200 level.

Oya bring the A level certificate, Obaseki no get except Testimonial. Unfortunately, he never mentioned that when he spoke with pressmen this afternoon.

He should respond to issues raised by the screening committee.

He's now saying Oshiomole didn't go to school. If truly he didn't go to school then we should Respect him for achieving this feat.

His achievements are numerous to the extent that what Oshiomole has achieved in life, Obaseki still dey follow him.

See person wey go school.

Obaseki with the education he claims to have, ( his 3 credits without English and Maths, failure in all the 3 "A level" papers, BA classical music or wetin ), he hasn't achieved half of it.

I can't imagine my child going to read Classic abi na Calypso.

When Medicine dey, Pharmacy dey, Engineering dey, na Classic. We know their type that one Chief will send Note to VC and VC will just give one yeye Course.

Honestly I thought he read economics, I never knew he was the lay about type in school chasing girls.

Olodo, a degree is classic involved more than classical music or Calypso.

Classics (Literae Humaniores) is a wide-ranging degree devoted to the study of the literature, history, philosophy, languages and archaeology of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. It is one of the most interdisciplinary of all degrees, and offers the opportunity to study these two foundational ancient civilisations and their reception in modern times. The degree also permits students to take extensive options in modern philosophy, a flexibility which makes Oxford’s Literae Humaniores different from most other Classics courses.

Ubykcee:
He has tried

Tried at what?

Starting projects is nothing, Nigeria started Ajoakuta and Mamabila project how far has that gone.

Nigerians standard are just too low and stupid.
