It's really a serious matter. Who do we blame? The myopic mind of our past leaders, managers of economy that failed to develop other sectors and inherent potential of our human capital. Rather, they kept squandering the golden eggs from the geese, building mansions home and abroad, starching money for their fourth/fifth generations to come. Establishing company abroad with stolen funds.

The truth is that it's not going to be easy. The oil and gas industry has been on red alert in Nigeria. No new investments and projects. Workers both permanent and contract staffs are being laid off almost on a continuous basis. Salaries are reviewed downwards and the "Big Boys" pockets has become lean, no more reckless spending. The language of the Big Boys now is; 'you no hear say oil price don fall'
Now it's $30+ but it's projected to go down further and remain so for the year unless ??.

It's going to be very challenging for this present administration and the citizens as well. We are reaping from maladministration of past governments.

What's the way out fellow citizens? We must look inward and develop our potentials. Support innovations and reduce central govt's unnecessary restrictions to local industrialization - give more powers to states.

he doesn't need! Nobody needs this! All these things are meant for efulefu that still don't want want to reason! The author did well, but he didn't capture all of them! I tell the rate at which our finest brains leave for abroad is alarming!

Many have been brainwashed and are told that there are no land to accommodate the Igbos if they form independent nation - white elephant lie.
Others were told that they will be landlocked, another lie from dark pit. We need more of this compilations for an independent observer.

Indeed, Nigeria is backward technologically because they have refused to tap from this region naturally blessed with it. I remember going to PRODA for an excursion during my secondary school days; the ceramics, machine and other research centers. Today, the 3 locations of PRODA at Enugu has overtaken by grasses.
This is just to kill the dream and technological advancements that will benefit the whole nation.

In everything, to God be the glory. True federalism is the only answer to one Nigeria. Anything less is only a delay that may lead to crumbling of this entity.

This is the the reply I have been waiting for. So many facts I never heard of, though I have come across some.

It is a wao reply.

Firstly, I support one Nigeria where equity and justice reigns, and no individual or group is being tactfully schemed out through policies of government.
I learnt that in the 80s during fuel scarcity, a veteran Igbo engineer suggested to Buhari, then as the head of State, to adopt the modular refinery models used in Biafra land during the war.
I stand to be corrected but it was reported that the reply of the Head of State then was that if Nigeria needs a modular refinery, Nigeria knows where to import the technology and not the ones used by Biafrans.

Someone should please give PMB this reply for review.

Whao, I wasn't expecting apology... Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks too dear, It's okay. Cheers!!

Why are you guys obsessed with my hand? I have no reason to take this pictures down!

Sorry dear, I do not have any problem with your hand. I made that statement based on the former guys comment and if you are not comfortable. Mine is not better either.

BeeBeeOoh:
I don't blame Ambode, Tinubu, APC or anybody for everything that is happening to SS/SE in Lagos. I blame SS/SE for not seeing the handwriting on d wall, how can u be developing another man's land & without expecting to be booted out someday.




My papa use to say, A Tenant Doesn't Plant Flower In Another Man's House..



I commend Ambode for a job well done, God bless him & Lagosians

I support your view 100%. Even if they realize themselves now and starts thinking home, it's not late. No pity for anyone whose property is destroyed without adequate compensation.

Yeepa... picture of the stock fish nko... see your hand.. u be farmer?

Baa..aad mouth. Una no go kill person with laughter. Abeg upload your ajiboo hand lets see.

@op, you can remove the pix and re-snap it on a piece of paper. Meanwhile, I had once found a smaller hook in a fish I was eating. It's always good to masticate food well, sense for any foreign item before swallowing.

Before Kanu took the trip to Nigeria, he announced his planned trip and stated he knew he will be arrested.

He also dropped some words of his readiness to sacrifice himself for this cause which he has chosen. He said further that should he not survive this incarceration, his disciples should continue the struggle (countless disciples world over). He also dropped some very strong words..... and those words shall come to pass if... Well, let the game continue.

Nasarawa State

Thks. Needs to contain and control ASAP.

CPriest:
Would have posted it, but didn't want to cause unnecessary panic.

It's not causing panic if such info's are confirmed rather it creates enlightenment and cautions the public to be extra careful.

I have heard of Taraba and Rivers state. Which are the rest states, could someone post please?

Indeed there are prophets, and there are those who make predictions. Probably and most likely TB is falling on the former.

Even after confirmation from relevant authorities thru channels tv that 8 persons died in the incident, you are still posting this false figures. Please when you are not sure of the info, do not feed the public with such. Have a nice weekend and enjoy the season.

Oh!! Very very saddened on this incident. I state firmly that this incident and similar others are preventable. Why are people's life being wasted like this?
Before I give my reasons for the above, may God grant us all mercy and to the dead, eternal rest.

I heard is a gas refilling plant.
1. Assumes there is an explosion in the plant, and this plant is sited much away from dense residential areas, the number of fatalities will be less.
2. What are the systems in place to ensure competent personnel supervises the operation.
3. In supervising the operation, are standard equipment and accessories used, leakages checked and controlled, and ignition sources prohibited.
4. The DPR and other regulatory agencies, are they carrying out audit and inspection on these service providers to ensure high safety standards are maintained.
........
In fact, there are many points to highlight and these victims committed no evil than us here as many always concludes. There are more dangerous sites than Chikason out there waiting to happen. We must prevent it from happening. We need to inculcate good safety culture and standards both at home and at industrial sites, and stop this preventable deaths.

Pause.

Am very happy with the recent developments around Nnamdi Kanu and most happy with the honorable justice's to excuse himself. This has given one great blow to the govt. They should go and look for a judge who will do the hatchet job.
Well, the only bond that can keep Nigeria as one nation is true federalism where each state will control its resources and pay some form of taxes to the center. But I see Biafran nation coming to be because this current govt is facilitating its actualization.

Metro OPINION: The Biafran Truth and the Illegal Trial of Nnamdi Kanu by Remi Oyeyemi


“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” – Arthur Schopenhauer

“I’m for truth, mo matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it’s for or against.”— – Malcom X

With trepidation, I have been watching the subtle descent into dictatorship by the administration of Muhammadu Buhari. I have been watching with disgust President Buhari’s war against freedom of speech. I am very concerned about desperate attempts by President Buhari and his sentries to muzzle the voice of self determination. I am very upset that a government of All Progressives Congress that claimed to love freedom is engaged in deliberate subjugation of innocent citizens who happens to have different views about the state of the polity.

I am very concerned that an innocent man is being denied his freedom. I am scared that an innocent man is being subjected to illegal detention. I am not comfortable that an innocent man is being tried for desiring freedom for his people. I am very disturbed that a non-violent man is being inflicted with unwarranted and undeserved travails. I am worried that a lot of unwary observers who are not properly schooled in the elementary tenets of democracy are vilifying an innocent man.

Nnamdi Kanu is an innocent man. He has not committed any crime to make him deserve the kind of treatment being meted out to him. You do not have to like Nnamdi Kanu. You do not have to agree with him or his desires for his people. But no one has the right to deny him his fundamental human right to be free. No one has the right to deny him the right to self-determine his destiny as he sees it or wants it. No one has the right to shut him up because they do not like what he is saying or because they feel threatened by what he is saying.

Mr. Kanu’s exploits are known to all and sundry.His desire is to have a homeland for his people. His desire is to free his people from the shackles of Nigeria. His desire is to see his people get to the promised land of Biafra. His dream is to see his people in control of their own destiny. His desire is to have a say in who governs him and his people. His desire is to ensure that no oligarchy or neo-oligarchic interests within the Ndigbo homeland is able to hold his people in bondage. His desire is to be able to water the tree of liberty for his people. There is nothing criminal in or about all this.

In all this, he has only employed semantics. He has only deployed sophistry. He had only appropriated the airwaves to be able to reach his people. He has not acquired arms. He has not killed anybody. He has not declared any armed war against anyone or organization. The only war he has ever declared is against the continued subjugation, enslavement and denigration of his Igbo people. It is a war of idea. A war of and for the minds of his people to see what he is seeing, to desire what he is desiring, to dream what he is dreaming. And he is doing that peacefully. He has been able to make his case to the majority of Ndigbo and the youths of that nation who are indeed the future of Biafra.

He is mobilizing his people to engage in the struggle to be free from their enslavement by the Nigerian State. He is making a clarion call for his people to stand up for their rights and self determine their destinies, or collective destiny. He has been innovative. He has been peaceful. He has been determined. He has been methodical. He has been deliberate. He has been consistent. He has persevered. And he is making sacrifices. There is nothing criminal in or about this.

Nnamdi Kanu has a dream: a dream of Biafra. He has a dream of the land of the Rising Sun; where there is freedom and liberty; a dream of Biafra where the people are free to be in control of their own destinies. He has a dream of Biafra where the sons and daughters of Biafra can reach for the sky and penetrate the heavens. He has a dream of Biafra where there would not be a despicable federal character that denies the talented and the gifted of Ndigbo the opportunity to achieve their potential. He has a dream where Biafra would be able to take its rightful place in the comity of nations. There is nothing criminal in or about any of this.

So far, apart from those benefiting from the miseries of the Ndigbo nation; apart from the sentries of the status quo; apart from the carpetbaggers and political dealers of the Nigerian State; apart from the scallywags and scared agents of the Nigerian State, Nnamdi Kanu is beloved by the majority of his Ndigbo people and every lover of freedom across the world. If anyone is in doubt of this claim, they should call for the referendum of the people of the Igbo Nation. This would settle the case at least for a while.
Even, if Nnamdi Kanu is a minority voice, he is still entitled to his freedom of speech, freedom to desire, freedom of association, freedom to seek liberation for the people who may or may not want it. The fact that not many people really cares about “heaven” as the Christians call it, or “Aljana” as the Muslims call it has not stopped the Pastors, Evangelists, Reverends and the Imams from preaching their beliefs. Nnamdi Kanu should be allowed to preach his Biafran Gospel. The Ndigbo have the right to believe him or ignore him. They have the choice to follow him or reject him.

The continued detention and trial of Mr. Kanu by this administration is illegal. It is uncalled for in a free society. It is unwarranted in a democracy. It is unfair to any man or woman. It is illegal. It is unacceptable. We do not have to agree with Mr. Kanu before we all protect his rights. We do not all have to believe in Biafra before we protect his freedom. We do not have to be Igbo to protect his desire for self determination for himself and his people. We all must champion his freedom from illegal detention and trial.

From what has transpired so far, it all looks like an oligarchic conspiracy. Everything is pointing to signs of fear by the enslavers within the Nigerian State. It is suggestive that some neo-colonialists who control the levers of power of the Nigerian State are scared stiff of Biafra and other growing voices of freedom from the subjugation of the Nigerian State. The Hausa-Fulani neo-colonialists and their sentries in Yoruba land, Igbo land and Birom land, Nupe land, Kataf land, Mumuye land, Kanuri land among several others are jittery.

They are not only jittery, they are panicking. They are scared that the slaves are about to break free. They are afraid that the slaves are about to do away with their shackles and chains. They are nervous that the captives are about to break down the walls of subjugation.The dilating dawn of freedom is drowning their deceit and duplicity. They are brimming with tension. They are threatening violence against non-violence agitation. They are murdering freedom fighters and stigmatizing them as criminals. They are shooting and maiming freedom fighters and stigmatizing them as troublemakers. They are resorting to everything and anything to hold on to a modernized feudalism euphemized as “democracy.”

Nnamdi Kanu should not worry about his being detained if he is reading this.He should not be concerned about his trial. This is a battle between body and mind. It is a battle between injustice and justice. It is a battle between matter and spirit. In all these battles, the mind would overcome the body, justice will vanquish injustice and spirit will defeat matter. This is because Nnamdi Kanu represents an idea. It is an idea whose time has come.

Though, the Biafra idea might not be Kanu’s originally, he is, as at present, the physical representative of that idea. It is not this idea that has created the present crisis. It is the crisis of the Nigerian State that has created the Biafran idea. The Nigerian state and its odious purveyors may be able to subjugate your body, they may be able to vilify and malign your name for desiring freedom for your people, but they would not, should not and must not be able to destroy your spirit. They would not be able to defeat the idea of Biafra. The only people who would be able to defeat the Biafran idea are the Biafran people if they choose to. Otherwise, any effort on the part of the decadent Nigerian State would come to futility. It is a matter of time. Not a matter of if.

For those who believe in the truths of Biafra as a Nation, they should remember the words of Elvis Presley, the American music icon, “Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t going away.” The land of the Rising Sun is not going away.Nnamdi Kanu is not going away. The desire for self determination is not going away. The determination to be free from the shackles of the Nigerian State is not going away. Biafra is not going away.

You can take Nnamdi Kanu’s body out of circulation. You can imprison him. You can try him several times over. You can shoot, maim, kill and or murder his followers and those who believe in him, but what he stands for, Biafra, is not going away. Biafra was conceived as an idea. The obnoxious Nigerian State is its incorrigible catalyst. Then it became a belief. It has become a dream of all proud Ndigbo. It is a dream contextualized in reality. It is going to be achieved.

To someone like me, who believes fervently in Oodua, who prays for and preaches for the advent of an Oodua Nation, free from neo-colonialism, unbounded from the curse and shackles of the Nigerian State, Nnamdi Kanu is an inspiration. For someone like me, who believes that the emergence of an independent Oodua Nation is inevitable, Mr. Kanu is an inspiration regardless of what his detractors or enemies might say. He inspires me like Obafemi Awolowo inspires me. He inspires me like Nnamdi Azikwe inspires me.He inspires me like Mahatma Gandhi inspires me. He inspires me like Kwameh Nkrumah inspires me. He inspires me like Jomo Kenyatta inspires me. He inspires me like Kenneth Kaunda inspires me. He inspires me like Thomas Jefferson inspires me.

The Nigerian State has a date with its destiny which is its eventual balkanization. But Biafra and Oodua Nations have dates not just with their destinies, but also with History. It is inevitable and it is unstoppable.

“In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility – I welcome it.”
– John F. Kennedy, in his Inaugural Address January 20, 1961

I can only say "wow" to this masterpiece. Please what is the title of this novel or the chapters are not complete yet, please do quick and publish this book. The author has dropped his prophecy - a great mind.

In mute mode for now because of the calmed nerves from our women.

My eyes could only see number 74 for now. It might fade into some other figures soon.

APC and PMB, please we're not interested. Do not pacify. Carry on with your original plan. I will love to see a situation where the SE will reject any appointment given to them henceforth. The precedent has already been set so continue with it, as any change now is medicine after death.
We are equally waiting for the downgrade of other institutions that were upgraded to degree awarding ones by immediate past administration to their formal status and not only Alvan Ikoku. We are watching in 3D square.

If they like make them cancel and terminate the project forever. No one begs and I wish the SE to see the project as a non favour to the SE.

atbu1983:
Please be patient to read before writing rubbish. below is a layman summary of the post:

Mbaka was not involved in the matter. Somebody told the woman he is a friend to Mbaka. because of that the woman was giving money to the person thinking that the person is giving it to Mbaka to pray for her. She later discovered that Mbaka dont even know the person. The person just scammed her because the person knew she believed in Mbaka ability as a priest.

Laughs!! Thanks for posting this summary for those who couldn't read before commenting. Hopes they read this summary too.

TheOnlyWiseMan:
This Mbaka again?
He turned against Former president Jonathan because his Wife refused to be scammed by him.

PhockPhockMan:
Rev Father Mbaka, APC spiritual navigator.

Scammers.

Next time, try and comprehend a write up before commenting. Even the topic title didn't say Fr Mbaka scammed the woman. Few paragraphs of essay you couldn't take your time to read. Please read and correct yourselves.

Do ignore them and may God forgive their ignorance.

breeze23:
He is talking of T/T. Can MasterCard or visa used to pay for T/T?

But there is alternative to money telegraphic transfer and that is electronic payment system. Though I know some merchant sites especially in China do prefer T/T but they do accept Western Union too which you can be initiated from Nigeria now. You do not need dollar to carry out such transanction just your naira equivalent.

Eluala:
So if one cannot pay the forex into his account, how does he do TT to pay for goods and services purchased abroad?

Please someone with informed answer please.

Use your naira denominated cards (Mastercard & Visa) to pay for your goods.

Bia, which river be this now? One is brown and the other clear water fall(tarred road looking like one).

On this, I stand with Putin. Say no to PMB meeting with Obama. Say no to same sex marriage. Soon America will know that dia ris God.

All of Una wey dey shout, I wan go Bonny Island now, when you enter flying boat and the engine come off for center of sea, be strong o. Or when you reach Peterside come meet powerful sea wave, no begin shout, Jesus! Jesus!! O.
Indeed, it's a beautiful place to be but you must not be afraid of a 1 hour water transportation to the Island. It's one of the towns you do not need to iron your clothes ahead because of power failure. Bonny Island, I suppose is the first place pre-paid meters was introduced in Nigeria. I met it being used when I arrived the town in 2004.
Please go and have your experience.

God have mercy and come to aids in this nation. Wasting lives untimely due to bad roads, madness on the wheels and non road worthy vehicles.

Oh! My great Lions and Lionesses have gone on a journey of no return. May your Souls rest in the Lord dear ones.

Oh! God, please come to our aid.
