Lol. Many are fighting for Tinubu. Everyone who is who, including Buhari, has visited him in the UK.

Amosun just visited BAT in London yesterday. Yet you impotent haters will be typing crap on your cheap China clone phones.

When will hateful IPOBians like you begin pushing for your own candidates instead of showing you are only about stopping Tinubu?

Forget it tinubu can never be president of Nigeria

vedaxcool:
Slaves who worship suit don't ask pertinent questions like what was his lasting achievement?

Yet what was achievement outside buying phones for farmers?

Audu Ogbe left an improved agricultural sector with Nigeria dominating rice production in Africa...can. You point what agricultural product Adeshina made significant improvement on?

Zombie o zombie�
Can you compare the price of agricultural products under Adesina and your old obge?

Nigeria will celebrate the day this demon called Buhari will leave aso rock even though a lot of damage have done to Nigeria economy

Monogamy:
Summary pls

Buhari is a true definition of failure

BeardedMeat:
Southern leaders are all same. You have not forgotten the endsars massacre at lekki or have you?

And Igboho house

Zombie o zombie!

Nigeria can not wait for Buhari to leave office

Focusmind:
Nigeria's system!

Honestly, people are becoming poorer in Nigeria. If not because of poverty and economic downturn, what the government did was ok. Steady fee for the past 18 years! You can't even get that overseas. Prices of school fees increases after like two years.

People are complaining that Gala increased from 50 Naira to 100 Naira. My brother, Gala has tried fa. Considering the economic cost of production, the price had been on 50 Naira for the past 15 years or so. Some that were born within that period knew gala price to be 50 naira.

Most of us in business have also increased the prices of our products in the light of current realities. Quality education is not cheap!

The problem is economy under Buhari unfortunate administration. What can the parents do when money is not coming forth, some are struggling to pay the N25000 how are they going to pay N50000

What inglorious Buhari maladministration did not destroy does not exist

motayoayinde:
MOST NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS ARE INCURABLE ISLAMOPHOBES.

THEY KNOW AMERICANS ARE THE KILLERS.

THEY LOVE IT WHEN MUSLIMS ARE KILLED AND THEY LOVE KILLERS OF MUSLIMS.

THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE SAD NOW IS BECAUSE THOSE BEING KILLED HAVE SHAMED THE KILLERS.

Let use our Nigeria as example who are the the killer here in Nigeria? How many times have Muslim leaders condemn northern muslims atrocities. The truth remains Islam is a hypocritical religious organization

Difrent:
No
World peace died the day the church decided to wage war against muslims

World peace died when christian nations of USA and USSR were using muslim nations Afghanistan, iraq for their cold war games ....christian USA creating and arming the afghan taliban in order to claim sperioirity over chriatian USSR

Chritaian nations created extremists in islamic nations

So Muslim are zombies that Christians will be using them to killing themselves?
Show me one Christians dominated country that harbor terrorism the way muslims are doing.

Islam means disaster

[quote author= post=104838365]Same trash he was saying back in 2014.
Despite all the rubbish documentary lies his PDP Tv station said, they all lost woefully back2back.
Bunch of Wailing looters and criminals.

Anyways,
Rumors are spread by fools and believe by idiots.


A party of looters and criminals that couldn't construct their national headquarters for 16 years want to build a country!
Awon werey 100%.

Perennial losers and thieves.
Party of confusion, looting and corrupt souls in disarray..

Truth is not bitter, just that people are bitter to the truth........

PDP in Nigeria again?!
God forbid bad thing
we rather vote for FRESH Party!!

We Rise. [/quote]If we survive Buhari calamity there is no government we will not survive

WaffenSS:
And in your tiny mind who do you think will take over, an irigwe or a berom?

The next president is still coming from the north. Even if he doesn't, it's only because the north says so. Wike is trying to sell Tambuwal, Atiku is looming large..... face it, minority. We call the shots.

Besides, the fulanis don't even need any form of support because they're well armed, well in number, and know the bushes.

Don't worry Nigeria are wiser now mistake like Buhari will never happen again

WaffenSS:
Why your rant is unimpressive is on the fact that now the reprisals will come and you people will be the ones shedding tears.

For over 2 years now the fulanis have made your people IDPs, majority can't go to their farms, there are places in Jos you people dare not enter, and the irigwes and beroms are completely helpless against the fulanis.

It's interesting how you're like caged animals in Plateau, and can only attack defenseless travelers in your typical cowardly fashion.

Last night many people in Bassa and Dong couldn't even sleep in their homes out of fear.

Exercise patience, all this things will change when Buhari vacate aso rock. Fulani cup have over full waiting to flow

Arsenal a useless team yesterday, today and forever

vivalavida:
This government has gone bankrupt. They are now devising new criminal ways of siphoning funds from Nigerians. If they are permitted, they will dip their lecherous fingers into the bank accounts of Nigerians to fund their expensive lifestyles.
What have they been able to achieve with the increased tax and vat we pay? Nothing
With the loans they have been collecting upandan? Nothing.
Reduce the cost of governance by merging ministries and reducing personnel not needed. They said NO.
This government is just useless.

It no go better 4 Buhari and his gang of thieves

Buhari will be pleased with this news

With the way fulanis are going them go soon match shit in Nigeria

Fulanis are looting this country as if it's ending today

Tinubuadvocate:
Not mean anything.

People like you are the reason our politicians behave the way they are behaving

All i will say is well done to Buhari and his zombie supporters

careytommy37:


Come to think of it, I have never seen governors from the core Northern states presenting rice or chickens to Christians residing in the state during festive seasons

This i have never see. Southern politicians are fools

True true aboki no get sense.

Nigeria will never has a meaningful development with fulani in the saddle

Southern Nigeria really need to wake up every single development you see up northern Nigeria today is as a result of resources from the south and this parasites still has the gut to harass and intimidate the south because of our greediness and stupidity

By Eric Teniola
I HAVE just finished reading a book: What Britain Did To Nigeria by Max Siollun, who is an authority on issues that affect Nigeria. Mr Siollun has written several books on Nigeria, including Soldiers Of Fortune, Nigeria Politics from Buhari to Babangida and Nigeria’s Soldiers of Fortune-The Abacha and Obasanjo Years.

Expectedly his latest book: What Britain Did To Nigeria is very educative and informative, the 390page book is published by C.Hurst & Co.(Publishers) Ltd.

One of the articles in the book which caught my attention is titled “The Mistake of 1914”. The article summarises what one should know about Nigeria on the amalgamation that took place in 1914. Mr Siollun declared: “Perhaps no question makes Nigerians disagree as much as why Britain created their country.

Nigerians looking for deeper meaning for their country’s existence may be disappointed to find that there was none. Nigeria’s existence is little more than the outcome of balancing the colonial accounting books. In 1900 Britain created two countries with similar-sounding names. These were the protectorates of Northern Nigeria and Southern Nigeria.

“For 14 years these two countries were separately governed by different high commissioners. Lugard was Britain’s first high commissioner for Northern Nigeria and Sir Ralph Moor was his counterpart in Southern Nigeria.

The two colonies had different colonial personnel, legal systems, land tenure laws, educational policies and systems of governance. Their eventual amalgamation on January 1, 1914 was not sudden. It was the culmination of a process that, as we have seen, began 16 years earlier with the recommendation of the Niger Committee.

Although Lugard is credited as being the architect of Nigeria’s amalgamation, the process started long before he became Northern Nigeria’s high commissioner or the governor-general of the combined Nigeria in 1914.

These jolly laughing trading Black men

“Some British accounts of the differences between the people in the two Nigerians mentioned (with the usual poor a anthropological insight of that era) that ‘the inhabitants of Northern Nigeria are very different from the coast Negroes [Southern Nigeria]’ and flippantly described northerners as ‘black-faced Mohammedan Arabs with an admixture of negro strain’ and southerners as ‘these jolly laughing trading black men’.
Although this is a very simplistic summary, others offered a more realistic assessment. Sir George Goldie, who advocated the amalgamation of Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria, admitted that the two countries were ‘as widely separated government, customs, and general ideas about life, both world and the next, as England is from China’. Since Britain was aware of the sharp differences between the two Nigerias, why did it decide to amalgamate them anyway?

“Just as British entry into Nigeria was motivated by economic reasons, so was its amalgamation into one country. The duplication of finances and personnel in running two separate colonies in the same area was an impediment to administrative efficiency. The need for British colonies to be self-financing made amalgamation a priority.

Since Northern Nigeria had no coastline and was landlocked, it did not receive customs duties, as Southern Nigeria did. This disadvantage was exacerbated because Northern Nigeria imported goods from Southern Nigeria duty-free, and its costs for transporting its goods to Southern Nigeria for export were also high.

Since Southern Nigeria received customs duties and Northern Nigeria did not, a small percentage of customs revenue from the former was sent to the latter. Yet this was not enough to offset Britain’s cost of administering Northern Nigeria. Northern Nigeria had been running on a budget deficit for ten years, during which time its revenue was not enough to meet even half its cost of administration.

“As a result the British Treasury paid grants-in-aid to Northern Nigeria (totalling over £4 million) in the 14 years of its existence. These were non- refundable payments rather than loans, and were in addition to the £865,000 that the Treasury paid to the Royal Niger Company as compensation for the revocation of its charter.

Such dependency on the Treasury could not continue. Lugard tried to raise revenue by imposing taxation on Northern Nigeria but it was not enough. As early as 1904 he argued: ‘Northern Nigeria is as yet largely dependent on a grant in aid… I feel myself that economy can only be effected by the realisation of Mr. Chamberlain’s original scheme of amalgamating Northern and Southern Nigeria and Lagos into one single administration.

It is only in this way that Northern Nigeria, which is the hinterland of the other two, can be properly developed, and economies introduced into the triple machinery which at present exists. The country, which is all one and indivisible, can thus be developed on identical lines, with a common trend of policy in all essential matters.”

The material prosperity had been extraordinary

“Lugard’s advocacy of amalgamation ten years before it actually happened is not surprising. As Northern Nigeria’s high commissioner, he faced the problems of the colony’s dependency on grants from the Treasury and the need to find alternative revenue sources. Amalgamating the two Nigerias into one country would not only solve these problems for him, but carried with it a potential promotion, in that he would become the governor of the newly amalgamated country.

“For Lugard, the solution to his problems lay in Southern Nigeria. He observed: “Southern Nigeria, on the other hand, presented a picture which was in almost all points the exact converse of that in the North.

Here the material prosperity had been extraordinary. The revenue had almost doubled itself in a period of five years. The surplus balance exceeded a million and a half. The trade of the interior had greatly developed by the construction of a splendid system of roads, and by the opening to navigation of waterways hitherto choked with vegetation … And so while Northern Nigeria was devoting itself building up a system of native administration and laboriously raising a revenue by direct taxation, Southern Nigeria had found itself engrossed in material development.

To be concluded…

Buhari will forever be a lesson to Nigeria

Amaechi2023:
its obvious Orton is after money and not Benue state.
so the 100billion is worth more than the crisis happening in Benue state if I may say..
so in essence, you'll happily agree to ranching in Benue state should the presidency approve the 100billion.
all your heavy wailing was not for your peoples life but rather for the money.

I've always known your antics when I realised how good you are in publicizing the killings in your state but slow in displaying your incompetence in managing your state.
other middlebelt state are affected by herdsmen and farmers crisis but compare your stupid self to yahaya bellow of kogi? or to lalong of plateau or even abdulahi sule of nasarawa..
the difference between you and these men is that they are more concerned about avoiding a repeat of crisis while you were concerned about public sympathy and helplessness.
if there were no presidency, how would you have managed Benue state? who would you blame or cry to?
previously in terms of under development. kogi used to be is same level with Benue but now kogi has soared better while your Benue keeps raising paedopiles and IDP camps.
rubbish governor.

Before Buhari maladministration Benue state was the pride of the the whole nation agricultural

More like foolish giant

So terrorist activities should not be reported
So that lie Muhammed will tell the world that our idiotic president has defeated boko haram and fulani herdsman
