Congrats Take Ibori.BTW she has the right to vie for any political office after all she is also a Nigerian.Nigerians need to grow up.We can't keep on living in the dark ages.Other countries have moved on but Nigerians are still backward as regards family and relatives of leaders involving in politics.The Bush dynasty,Kenedys and Clintons comes to mind.

And which Bush or Kennedy or CLinton patriarch was ever arrested for MASSIVE embezzlement of public funds? How many Bush, CLinton or Kennedy kids were trained and funded with stolen money?

Welcome development.


We should also strive to stop the sexual harrassment of lecturers by desperate students too.

pweetixandy:
She is running up and down becos she wants a baby yea? Why aren't u running up and down with her? If u tell her to stop going to see pastors,she will not find it funny cos she might think u dnt take her thoughts and feelings seriously. U sir,shld not let her go alone,women are very religious. #okbye

Why should he be running from pillar to post for a baby after just 18 months? Any doctor will tell you that it's not everyone that conceives immediately.
Why should he be forced to accompany his wife to visit pastors he has no intention of visiting? So if she goes to meet Ifa priest or the Okija Shrine, he must tag along, eh?

Emilord:
What she did was very bad,but I can understand her position tho

Then I hope nobody ever leaves you alone with their baby. You're clearly a bird of the same feather.

johnmartus:
Once northern leaders come out and denounce boko haram all hand will laid to rest

Which Northern leader hasn't come out to denounce Boko Haram? Has that stopped Boko Haram?

Some of you speak out of deep and utter ignorance.

Applaner:
sanusi, if u are indeed innocent answer dese questions;
1) how do u know dey planned it for 2 months?

It doesn't take a genius to guesstimate that an attack of that magnitude takes time to plan and execute.

I never saw these kind of daft questions when the likes of Olisah metuh were blaming the opposition for bomb blasts without any shred of proof.

some of these tips are Rubbish, anyway.

5 - 20 secs my arse.

LMAO!

Nigerians will never cease to amaze me. See the entire first page filled with people castigating the act of pouring dirty water. Meanwhile only a few wise souls are asking why a pit was left uncovered for someone to fall into. Is that not - by far - the bigger hazard? A pit that anyone could stumble into in the dark?

This promising fellow would never have died if that pit was not open for him to fall into it.

anonimi:
I have not done any such thing as you allege.
Quite the contrary. Have I not used the word SOLELY, on this same thread, to refer to the attention given our president while the WORSE looters are ignored to our collective detriment

Was this not the post I responded to?



Do you think it is inappropriate to have pointed out that our president is not the ONLY one who should be targeted
Are many of the governors not also campaigning, some even for the presidency?

Perhaps you need to take the advice you gave someone a while back about using the English Primer (or something similar)

I suggest you take your own advice and re-read my post carefully...unless you're alleging President Jonathan is secretly a female?

You post that I responded to began with "She has done an EXCELLENT job so far"

Now your response to me is about Jonathan. Are you saying GEJ is a woman?

cooljude:
Funny enough most people here don't know the reason why OPEC had agreed to allow the price of oil remain low but would rather just speak anyhow. They agreed not to reduce production because they don't want Americas shale oil to be profitable which would be profitable at 100 dollars, thereby making America and others abandon their long time plan for shale oil. It would affect some OPEC country but the strategy is to make sure that OPEC nation would continue to be the major oil bloc in the world.

Does anyone truly care about this? What's the sense in bringing this up?
The only criticial information we need to know is that Oil price is dropping below our benchmark price, our Naira is being devalued, austerity measures are being prescribed that will see fuel, food and 'luxury good' price going up. The buffer we should have had in place has long since been frittered away, leaving us looking increasingly vulnerable.

Nigerians are (rightly) worried and you're babbling inanities about OPEC politics

anonimi:
She has done an EXCELLENT job so far with all the progress we have made in reviving our industrial base slowly in cement, automobiles etc. You should rather be concerned about the loafers that we have as SINators and representaTHIEVES as well as the 36 state governors who just want HIGHER oil price benchmark so they can share & spend more with little concern about savings and capital expenditure =>



That was for the 2013 budget.
Below was for this year's budget =>



Far too many of us are simply MUGUS hence these fools can lead us without qualms while we shout president this, president that for any small problem we have, including absence of PROFESSIONAL teachers in our secondary schools or unpaid salaries to state workers

No wonder some clueless people want an old soldier who described his fellow citizens as "senseless and useless" to come back and flog them to discipline.

As far as I know, your only role on Nairaland is to divert criticisms of anybody in the FEC to the Senators, Governors and LGAs.
This is a thread talking about dire consequences to the economy and you're still desperately trying to paint the FEC folks as blameless saints.

Is there something wrong with you? Do you enjoy destroying and devaluing your own country?

Htown64:
Which yeye empowerment? we are quick to forget. did anyone here received the energy saving bulbs that were bought for free distribution by FG?

Nobody's going to count those stoves. Most likely happenstance is that a third of those stoves get purchased while the rest goes into the pockets of crooks.

Meh

Chigold101:
The statement also disclosed that
photographs (still and video) of service
personnel entering and exiting the premises in
an operation that lasted for two hours were
taken.

Am sure u didn't see that part when you were reading this report.
SAD should come and display the items here in Nairaland.

some people mumuism de wear boxers

Ironic that you babble about mumuism yet fail to see that nothing in what you posted invalidates his point.

He's asking for photo evidence of the so-called cloned PVCs and you're talking about photos of personnel entering a building.

Rubbish

malachytochukwu:
Its clear your enclave accepts a family of 3 to be recorded as being 15. That's really unfortunate if you feel its normal and acceptable!

Yet another brainless post.

Once again, Nigerians are not saints. So the data verification and electronic archiving process that the data centre was doing would eliminate a whole lot of those.
Even if the data was not fully reconciled, this is of little concern to Nigerians. The data being processed is just APC's internal membership data and has little bearing on whatever is used for elections next year.

It really is unfortunate that such a simple explanation seems to sail above your head.

As someone said earlier, why should I bother about whatever method TAN used to arrive at their membership number of 16 million people when it should play no part at all in any elections?

okparaugo:
This is a good example of how APC wins elections.

This is a good example of a brainless post.

malachytochukwu:
The comments from the perceived APC apologists here are so myopic and crude that it leaves one to wonder what sort of country they really want to live in. I can't Imagine where a report allegging that someone's picture was used over 15 times with different profiles and some people feel its normal! Barging into apc's privacy is unacceptable, but when the dss have court order and search warrant it becomes safe enough to go ahead. ( Thought apc alleged that the dss didn't have a court order or search warrant!). I will keep saying it, the apc of today is not anywhere close to what Nigerians need! He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones!

This is for internal APC registration. This has been made clear in the OP and the multiple comments that follow. Are you truly this m0r0nic?

Unless the crux of your argument is that all Nigerians are saints, there is no reason why there will not be instances of folks trying to register multiple times. As many others that are far wiser than you have said, this is internal APC membership registration, and has absolutely nothing to do with INEC voter registration or voter cards. Digitizing this hard copy data is likely to remove these cases of multiple registration.

All we have here is a case where the DSS have seized sensitive material belonging to an opposition party, and are probably now perusing it. You can be sure the PDP now have access to sensitive APC records and material. This just seems like executive sanctioned espionage, to be honest.

alutaoracle:
Pls am nt sure any student died o. Cos some students were shot in my presence n there injuries was not too bad. I cn't post their pics here cos dis wil jst go viral

People were shot and it's 'not too bad'?

maybe they should shoot you next so you see that gunshot wounds are indeed very bad

Codedboy95:
they pay about N2, 911, 300.00/year (day student) N4, 000,300.00/year (boarding) does it worth it ??..

Yes.

If you'd gone to this type of school, you wouldn't be using "does it worth it" in public.

Nearly 500 dead this month alone, including 43 school children, ripped apart as they stood in their Assembly hall. Yet our security forces are being misused in intimidating the opposition and carrying out immoral raids on opposition headquarters and seizing sensitive data. Not to mention seizing newspapers and protecting ludicrous impeachment plots.

It's no wonder the fight against Boko Haram goes poorly, when key resources are so brainlessly diverted for selfish purposes.

mikeansy:
Stop trying to clone voters cards

Am sure this is how Buhari's 12 million underage voters get created

I remember when Mikeansy was known as a sensible Nairalander.

Seems the allure of crisp naira notes is enough to make even the once-honorable folks change into political harlots.

Arysexy:
Shut ur trap.

U don't expect DSS to jump to d media and start blabbing like apc's liar Muhammad.

Thorough investigation is ongoing, allow them to conclude. Why is apc so agitative if their hands are clean?

You don't need 'thorough investigation' to immediately show if fake voter cards were being cloned. Where are the cloned cards? Where are the blanks?

It's been days now, no hard evidence. No further arrests of APC leadership for questioning.

All you paid-per-post clowns should put some more effort in your output. You may not be paid today for this lacklustre argument o!

Just three hours ago, the Nigeria Police force twitter handle (@PoliceNG) tweeted this:

Why is the Nigeria Police force tweeting a partisan link? Aren't they supposed to be neutral and unbiased?

Arysexy:
How can they go to court when all odds are against them. Evidence abounds, sss Just waiting for d time to expose the evil party apc.

Why should the SSS be 'waiting for d time to expose the evil party APC'?
Can you even listen to yourself admit that the DSS are partisan and are not neutral in this?

There is no evidence. All we have is the usual use of state security apparatus to harass the opposition and seize sensitive material belonging to the opposition political party.

Orunto:
If Christ were to come back right now, you, I mean the like of you will trump up Charges to crucify him again and again.

But those aren't 'trumped up charges' na. The OP is even being too mild. Much much more than 100k barrels of oil are being stolen daily

GEJ didn't deny or refute it when CNN asked him what he was doing that 400k barrels per day were being stolen.

leo1234:
Why are some people always happy when something negative is said about Nigeria
I just pray this APC will not destroy Nigeria just to discredit GEJ

Why do you think this is something 'negative'? This is just a fair reflection of the state of the MMA, PHC Airport and several others than online propaganda spinners have done their best to deceive everyone that they are world class.

IMHO, it's people like you that seek to always explain away rubbish with mindless positive platitudes that are trying to destroy Nigeria.

brainpower:
Who still takes Sahara Reporters seriously? This is the kind of reaction they expected when they released this news that's after running it through their sponsors. The head of Sahara Reporters have come out openly to voice his opinion about the govt saying the govt is the worst thereby confirming that he isn't a supporter of the govt in this vain he would do anything to prove his assertions that the govt is bad to make sure he isn't put to shame and is proved right, therefore they are no longer supposed to be a media house you go to if you want to get an unbiased news about the country. This isn't about being a supporter of GEJ or not, it is about the normal reasoning of a human being except you are biased too, I used to give them some credit until last 2weeks after the 5million dollars house issues and his comments thereafter. If you are bringing media houses to stand as judges for anything partaining governance in this country, I think where others are still trying not to take sides, Saharareporters has shown that its already taking sides. Therefore isn't qualified to stand.

I know they have their sources of information, but I will wait till the Chadian Govt comes out to deny this report, very soon the loopholes in this report will be clear.when they deny it, then I will comment.

Ironic that your Nairaland username is 'brainpower' because you've just made a thoroughly brainless post.

saharareporters made a report based on tweets from an investigative journalist. If you have issues with the info, go on Twitter and read and tackle the tweets.

Funny how you disbelieve Sahara Reporters yet you're perfectly willing to accept any official press statement the Chad Govt puts out... As if Governments are oath-bound to always tell the truth.

Even Tribune confirmed they went and discussed with the journalist.
No guarantees that the info is 100% correct, but dismissing it out of hand because the news was posted on SR is just plain rubbish.

I suggest you Google mini modular refinery. It's being used in other countries. Technology has changed everything.

Please read this http://businessdayonline.com/2014/02/modular-refineries-test-the-idea/#.VG7pvvMo_Fo

Ah, Ok. I misread your post, assumed you were referring to the illegal refineries in the creeks.

I apologize.

With proper oversight, perhaps using imported modular refineries may help...but I can hazard a guess why they are currently illegal in Nigeria. If the ban is lifted, a whole lot of operators will be running with stolen crude.
We need to fix our oil bunkering problem first.

signz:
We've been expecting it. I don't know if this is true but I heard that it's illegal to operate a mini modular refinery in nigeria. If true, that law should be repealed immediately and people can get licences to build import/build mini modular refineries. We can't afford to wait till Dangote finishes his refinery in 2018.

I'm not sure why people express opinions like this one above, but it drives me nuts. Do you even know ANYTHING about the process they use for these illegal refineries? Do you know how they get the stolen crude they use?

https://nigerdeltavanguard.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ILL-I.jpg

Do you have any idea how hazardous it is to refine crude in this manner? How damaging it is to the environment? The damage to the workers? The people that die in the process? The massive oil leaks that result from this process?

https://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/infocus/nigeria060811/s_n15_RTR2KCQT.jpg

There's a reason why standard refineries are very expensive to build, and require a focus on safety to run successfully.
Please NEVER try to short-circuit good things...that always leads to disaster.

I love how the lady carefully fails to state why the husband was denied.

I don't think any Embassy in the world is set up to guarantee your marital bliss

There's a special place in hell for those m0r0ns who think the fuel price hike from the removal of fuel subsidy payments will be 'temporary' and that prices 'will be driven down eventually due to market forces'.

It take a special case of treachery to support fuel subsidy removal, perhaps one of the few things that the ordinary Nigerian enjoys from their corrupt leadership. The question we should be asking is why we can be swayed to vote for someone who cannot end the subsidy frauds, and why subsidy payments keep going up despite the partial removal which should have seen the payments drop significantly.

Neither GEJ or Okonjo Iweala have been able to come up with empirical reasons why subsidy payments are drastically on the rise again. It's not like our population has exponentially increased or the absolutely number of cars in Nigeria has been raised dramatically. Govt claims that more and more people enjoy better power, so we expect a commensurate drop in amount of fuel being used in Generators.
