Politicians and Yahooboys are the true causes of inflation and land overpricing in that Nigeria.

I stand to be corrected.
Why should any property in Unguwan Rimi GRA cost up to 500million Naira if not for corrupt politicians buying whatever just to launder money?

The going price for a plot of land anywhere in Nigeria should not be more than 1million Naira.

Its' crazy when I hear land is sold for over 2million Naira in Ibeku and Olokoro, 5 million at New General Hospital area in Asaba, 6 million at New Ugbo in Benin,
4 million at Ekhei Girls area in Auchi and for over 5million at Nike area in Enugu.

Jail all of them.
Anybody who buys a plot of land above 3million Naira in Nigeria is a thief and should be jailed.

hmm this person could be my missing sibling. You still remember home.

Minister Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said that it costs the Nigerian governments N3.5 million naira a month to feed Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, otherwise known as Shiite. Army/Shiites Clash unwarranted, Lawless – CSOs Lai Mohamme

Mr. Mohammed made the statement which has gone viral on social media on Wednesday, following the decision of the Kaduna court which denied the IMN leader bail. The IMN leader and his wife have been in detention after they were arrested in Zaria, in December 2015. They were first arraigned on May 15, 2018 and charged alleged murder, culpable homicide, unlawful assembly, and disruption of public peace, among others.

They have subsequently been denied bail severally while his followers have continuously been having violent clashes with the security operatives, especially the Nigerian army. After a bail application was entered again in court yesterday and was denied, the minister of Information had addressed some journalists where he informed them that El-Zakzaky was kept in a safe place.

He however added that it costs the Nigerian government a whopping sum of N3.5 million naira a month to feed the IMN leader who is in detention. According to the minister, “the issue of whether, where he is, let’s keep it off record.

He is in a residence and eating; I mean, it costs the government N3.5 million naira every month to feed him.” “I asked. We don’t want to inflame passion. Islamic Movement in Nigeria are a different kettle of fish.” Meanwhile, MR. Mohammed’s statement has sparked outrage on social media with many expressing shock and disbelief at the minister’s claim on the feeding of the Shiite leader. Some have even said it was not economical foe the government to keep holding the IMN leader in detention if such cost is being incurred.

Below are people’s reactions to the statement:

PDP Vanguard‏ @PDPVanguard “It costs the Nigerian government N3.5m per month to feed ElZakzaky.” – Lai Mohammed. Are they feeding him with gold rice? Does he drinks diamond water? The corruption under Buhari did it internship at “HAVARD INSTITUTE OF STEALING” PMB and Corruption/forgery are 5&6.”

Kwankwasiyya ‏ @dadiyata “A possible breakdown of Zazzaky’s DAILY consumption going by Lai Mohammed‘s claim that it cost the govt 120K daily to feed him. One Big Ram One Bag of Rice 5 crates of eggs 5 Loaves of Bread 10 Bottle water 3 Mudu of Garri 1 Mudu of Sugar 4 Tins of Milk & Milo”

Igala_King‏ @I_Am_Ilemona “It costs the Nigerian government N3.5m per month to feed ElZakzaky.” – Lai Mohammed. 1. This is sounds like a lie. 2. It makes no sense to continue incurring that cost instead of respecting the order given by Justice Gabriel Kolawole & releasing the man”

Zain Ameen‏ @zinadabo1 “So I saw Lai Mohammed during an interview saying @MBuhari spends 3.5 million in feeding El-zakzaky monthly. Please are they feeding the Man with gold rice and diamond beef? they re keeping him in custody as their leakage for siphoning funds.”

God Bless Muhammadu Buhari

And bless you too.

I wish this statement was made by the Islamic council or MURIC. It would have been weighty enough to let the sympathisers of these blood suckers know that they are being evil supporting evil group. But they can't make that statement because it would result to statements on many wives, 7 virgins, infidel Christians and many of it likes.

Since the national body of PDP didn't make a statement about it, its either plateau state is of less important to them or they have no interest in J.T. Useni.

Lalong should have appointed new transition chairmen if he wanted to replace the ones already in place instead of disgracing himself and APC in this thing he called election. He has shown clearly that he is a true APC blood.

Wailers will hold on to anything to stay in the news .
They never said the pictures are from their achievements.

afroniger:
That condescending remark by Ohanaeze towards Igbo presidential candidates (their own kinsmen whom are merely exercising their right to political participation) is quite unfortunate. They have really sold out to Atiku. Atiku Jazz on Igbo people is really strong, I must admit.

No. It is those other candidates that are sold out. They have collected a huge sum to try and divide the vote of the South East.

They haven't won any electoral position before and they think they would have chance.

@POLITICSNGR

Senator Godswill Akpabio has called for the resignation of Senate President, Bukola Saraki, PoliticsNGR has learned.

This development is coming shortly after both politicians clashed over sitting positions in the hallowed chambers earlier today. 

Addressing a Press Conference after Plenary on Wednesday, Akpabio advised Saraki to honorably resign as president of the Senate. He added that the Senate President should borrow a leaf from him as a former minority leader, saying he resigned the position when he defected from PDP to APC to allow the PDP elect a new minority leader.

“It’s a tradition all over the world that when you defected to another party even as a Senate President like Saraki did, to resign from the office of the Senate President. APC is still the majority party and they need to form a new leadership. The Senate President should honourably resign just like I did."

He also criticized the PDP for doing nothing in the South-South for 16 years;

"Having moved from PDP to APC, I felt fulfilled. My advice and suggestions in the national interest would not be looked upon with suspicion by the government in power again. I moved to APC in national interest. I don’t believe in bringing government into being and will not support that government to succeed.

In the last 16 years, I did not see 1 kilometre of road done by PDP government in Akwa Ibom state, but today, APC government is constructing the road from Akwa Ibom to Calabar.

The road has been a death trap and I must thank this government for that. From the national and local perspectives, people look at me as a leader and I must tell you that in 2019, it would be difficult for any other party to penetrate the South-South."

Resign as in Saraki is the senate president of PDP. Akpabios zombiesm might end up to be more than that of known zombies.

TarOrfeek:
The third one from the left.


He will sell all the family land and travel to Gambia.

Ah aahhh

theoldpretender:
True because when Bubu took power, he inherited debts from the GEJ admin to the tune of billions of naira in unpaid subsidy claims. If GEJ could not afford to pay,....where was Bubu going to get the money to pay atlower oil price...?

(See why GEJ wanted to remove subsidy...even if partially in 2012....the signs were there).

GEJ wanted subsidy removed because fraud became prevalent. Marketers uses one product to collect 2-5 times subsidy on the same product because we couldn't tracks these products and the port officials were compromised. He had done his surveys and found out that the actual market price was far less and wanted to create avenue for competition so as to crash the price but he was blackmailed by both APC for political gain and marketers who were the fraudsters.

1.Can we have sone actual sources of this your information? I know APC lies....but when PDP lies...pot meet kettle.

2.Landing costs of fuel were at N132 by 2015...up from N95 in 2012.Add the fact that we import MOST of the fuel we use in this country...and you can see the problem.(And even if all our refineries got fixed...we would need to STILL IMPORT 30-70MILLION liters of fuel a day.)

3.We have been facing an oil shock since 2014...and our reserves were at a low of $32 bn when Bubu took over..and fell to $28bn by 2016 begining...plus the low oil prices...meant that we did not have the forex to buffer the naira...hence costs went up. Including the cost of impriting fuel...since we now needed more naira to buy one dollar.

4.What Bubu did in 2015...was partial removal of subsidy (It was not remoival of subsidy despite what APC spin docs want to tell you)....and as a result....things calmed down....but the landing costs of fuel increased.....to N180 per liter.

5.So subsidy has to go. We need oil at $140 per barrel to have a balanced budget. Oil is at $80 now. We don't have the resources. And even if Dangote comes on stream...Dangote still has loans to pay..so prices will be high.

When Buhari took over, it was reported that Nigerians were paying the federal government between 8-16 naira per liter of petrol. This is excluding the 8-16 naira per litre gain fixed for marketers. NNPC also came out to tell Nigerians that they have drastically reduced the cost of refining crude oil to bellow $20 per barrel. This also should affect the price but it didn't. I don't have to tell you sources to be statistically correct. The minister of petroleum has piled up for himself billions of dollars. I have idea what they are meant for.

Nbote:
Hehehehe... Can someone please explain to me why we are still talking about subsidy under dis Govt?? Why is it even up for debate considering we were all told it was a scam and have been removed??



Dis ryt here proves d thieves in power simply sidelined those in d business of importing fuel and took over d business demselves while claiming to have put a stop to d same business of subsidy claims...

Exactly. The minister of Petroleum, Buhari and NNPC counterparts are the sole importer of petroleum products to avoid paying subsidy to marketers. They fixed the price of fuel at 145 naira when the actual cost was less than 40 naira per liter when the crude oil price fell to 38 dollar per barrel. Now the price of crude oil has skyrocketed to 80 dollar per barrel, we will start hearing of subsidy.

adinoyi360:
I heard from the radio that, the results was announced even without counting the ballot papers in the units.

Yes o.

We are also hearing that they are going to swear in the APC candidate in Mangu Local government tomorrow Monday while leaving the one for langtan North for PDP after the two Local government was declared inconclusive. The youths are waiting for them to try this and for other APC candidates declared winners to resume official activities on Monday. Open your ears to events that would transpire on Monday in plateau state.

dalongjnr:
Which market are u talking about? Oh today's mangu market day!
The result of the election in the remaining 2 LGC will remained inconclusive until a free and fair election is concluded. Don't forget to get a bottle of zobo juice to celebrate the weekends,cheers bro!

If you wish your state well, you would want to see the right thing done. Unfortunately, you only care about yourself so you have to do anything including destroying the truth and peace of your people to make sure that the half bread that is better than none you are receiving keeps coming. I know you won't like to go back to poverty.


About celebrating the weekend, I prefer kunun aya. I have already had one today. Thanks for your concern.

PLATEAU ELECTION: YOUTH BURNT HOUSES DOWN OVER RESULTS
Posted on October 12, 2018 AuthorTemi Badmus Comment(0)
Plateau election, youth burnt houses down over election

Irate youths protesting the outcome of Wednesday’s local government election in Plateau State have burnt down four houses in Langtang South Local Government, the News Agency of Nigeria is reporting.

A NAN correspondent, who covered the Thursday protests, reports that the youths were angry that the results of the polls were not declared at the local government collation centre.

A top security personnel told NAN that the youths, who were waiting for the local government Returning Officer to collate results brought from the wards, got enraged when Governor Simon Lalong announced on Radio that the winners would be sworn in by 2pm.



“They were shocked when a candidate they claimed did not win the polls was announced as the winner,” the source said.

According to him, the protest began peacefully with the youths chanting war songs and accusing the Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission of “cheating” as they marched through the streets.

The security personnel, who craved anonymity, told NAN: “But the protest turned violent when some youths decided to attack the houses of those they suspected had connived with PLASIEC officials to ‘steal’ their mandate.

“Within a very short while, three houses belonging to some prominent persons and an official of PLASIEC were burnt down by the irate youths.”

He identified houses burnt as belonging to Andrew Sambo, the Electoral Officer that conducted the election in the area, and one Jackson Ponzhi, a prominent politician.

Also burnt was the residence of Nicholas Vongsin, a former Chairman of Langtang South Management Committee, as well as the local government chamber, where results of the elections from the wards were to be collated and announced.

Speaking on the development, Domle Simon, Peoples Democratic Party Vice Chairman, Plateau South, blamed the state government for the destruction recorded in the area.

Simon said: “The governor should have allowed the electoral officers to collate the results.

“The decision to swear in those that clearly lost the election was an invitation to chaos and anarchy.

“I am almost 70 years old and have been in this town all my life, but I have never seen anything like this.”

Simon advised the state government to always be mindful of the effects of their actions on those they have sworn to lead, adding that leaders should always remember that they would give account of their actions in the hereafter.



Contacted, Terna Tyopev, spokesman of the Plateau State Police Command, said he had heard about the crisis in the area but has yet to receive details.

“I have not been briefed by the Divisional Police Officer in the area. If I get the details, I will call you,” Tyopev said.

Ok

dalongjnr:
Funny u, I speak only but the truth. The youth blocked the road very early in the morning. Returning officer run due to conduct of the youth. I'm currently in mangu so shut up,I'm on my way back to abuja. Let me tell u it's not up to 2 hours that the youth were dispersed by the combined team of the army,police and civil defense. 3 cars smashed due to violence conduct of the youths. No result collated if I lie then tell us the result and votes scored by BURKI and Danat Lawrence.

The returning officer ran. You can't be truthful in your life.through which road or gate did he run from. The y

dalongjnr:
Haba, I'm currently in mangu so shut up. No result was collated and the youth blocked the road since 6:20am.
It's not up to 2 hours that they are totally dispersed.
If u talk us facts. 3 cars smashed by angry youths. If u want to argue, tell us the number of votes scored by BURKI n Danat Lawrence.

How comes the election was declared inconclusive.

GSA01:
This is the problem with PDP, they go around campaigning online, share all manner of hates and falsehood, forgetting to do their basic work as opposition(Constructive criticism). and they expect to win election!!!!

What you don't know, it is better you don't talk about it.

After minutes of sporadic shooting in the air, soldiers are nor patrolling the city in motorbikes speeding.

This was after a top military officer put some soldiers to frog jump for shooting in the air to dispatch crowd that blocked the road.

dalongjnr:
Hi man, where are u from? If u are not from mangu or langtang then don't argue.
In mangu,PDP rigged the election in kombun district and pushit as well not minding the fact that the APC chairmanship aspirant is from kombun and the deputy governor from pushit,and one start to wonder how that is possible been in the opposition and still have access to electoral materials to rigged the result with impunity.
The candidate of the PDP is well loved in the person of AYUBA BURKI. He could have won without rigging but the opposition made a mistake. The PDP brought thugs at the collection center and the returning officer run for his life.

Even Buhari will laugh at you for saying this. How can an opposition rig the polling unit of a deputy governor. You can't accept the fact that APC is a rejected party. Why will Mangu vote against APC even though they have the current deputy governor as their son.
Burki and Lawrence are loved but PDP is favoured to win because the people have rejected APC

MrJanuzaj:
That is the youths of Mangu LGA. The result of that election is not announced yet. How did you come about that it was rigged.

You are not current. The election here was declared inconclusive when elections were peacefully done. No polling unit was cancelled and collation wasn't completed yet. Read the news of what transpired. The REC and some officials received a call to come back to Jos while collation was still on. The youth kept vigil at the collation centre waiting for the REC to no avail. Only to hear that the election was inconclusive.

He did not rig it. So why did he leave lagos for Tinubu? Is it not the people that will decide for themselves? How did Atiku conquer SW except Lagos

Its like asking how do politicians campaign.

MrJanuzaj:
Atiku said he conquered SW in Lagos. He said it himself.

Did he also said he conquered SW by rigging?

Show me the evidence that the Platueau state elecrion is rigged.

After that you show me the evidence where Buhari said what you wrote on that publication you put uo there

How can results be announced without figures. How can results be announced when collation has not ended at the local government secretariat. Logically impossible.

Angry youths in Mangu have blocked the only road leading to Jos to protest alleged refusal of electoral officers to release the results of the Plateau local governments elections held on Wednesday.

The youths have refused all entreaties to vacate the road, and have vowed to remain there until the Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC), announces the outcome of the polls.

Sources indicated that trouble started Wednesday night when the Returning Officer for the local government, Mr Christopher Beten, General Manager, Plateau Environmental Protection Agency, started the collation of results from the wards, but abandoned the exercise midway.

“The official had collected results from some wards when a call came. He immediately told the agents and other ward returning officers waiting to take their turns, that he had been summoned to Jos,” a security source said.

The source said that the caller also spoke with the Electoral Officer in charge of Mangu Local Government, Mr Hosea Plang, as well as a senior Police officer maintaining law and order at the centre, adding that the trio left the collation centre few minutes later.

“This happened last night, but since they left, we have not seen any of them.

“We suspect that they want to manufacture figures and announce same in Jos. That is why the youths are angry and have reacted by blocking the highway to demand for the declaration of the results,” the source added.

Following the youths’ action, motorists coming from Shendam and Langtang axis have been stopped from moving to Jos, while those from Jos are massed up on the other side, waiting to be allowed to move.

A spokesman of the youths, who gave his name as James, Reporters that the road would remain blocked “until the Returning Officer comes back to declare the result of yesterday’s election”.

“We, the youths of Mangu, will not allow any car to pass through Mangu town until the needful is done by PLASIEC officials that conducted the local governments elections yesterday (Wednesday),” he said.

Contacted, Mr Terna Tyopev, spokesman of the Plateau Police Command, confirmed the protest, but said that security personnel were trying to calm the youths.

“We are trying to ensure that the situation does not get out of hand.

“The Divisional Police Officer (DPO), in Mangu has confirmed the whole situation to me, but we are doing our best and have appealed to the youths to be peaceful in their protest, ’’ he said.

Similar situation is brewing in Pankshin Local Government where the PLASIEC Returning Officer has yet to show up at the collation centre as at 8.22 a.m. this morning.

“We have just brought results collated from the wards to the local government collation centre, but there is no single PLASIEC official around to receive them,” Mr Samuel Goar, a former chairman of the local government.

According to him “there appears to be some sinister move by PLASIEC and the state government to manipulate the election in favour of a political party, but we shall not accept such manipulation”.

He said that candidates worked very hard for success at the polls and should not be robbed of the fruits of such labour.

Also Speaking, Mr Dom Joseph, an official of the PDP, decried the attitude of PLASIEC officials, declaring that such behaviour was “shocking, disturbing and uncalled for”.

“We suspected some foul play when they started sharing the sensitive materials and distributed duplicated copies of the results sheets instead of the original, to the 20 wards.

“Since last night, we have been waiting for the PLASIEC officials, but none has surfaced so far. I have never seen a situation like this,” he said.

Mr Benedict Shiknughul, PDP Vice Chariman, Plateau Central, told NAN in Mangu that the situation was “scary”.

“What we have gathered is that PLASIEC has been told not to announce any result at the collation centres. The ploy is to cook figures and announce same in Jos.

“We are surprised by what is happening because the tension it is generating is not good for the security situation in Plateau,” he said.

Contacted, Mr Joshua Pesun, PLASIEC commissioner in charge of voter education and publicity, refused to comment on the development.

“I cannot comment on this matter. Please contact the Chairman of the commission,” he said.
