It is not. It was named after a town in Southern Ijaw LGA of Bayelsa State with the same name. Same goes for Sangana and some of the streets around that area...

Ok...Tell me the meaning of Diobu in ijaw pls

bantudra:
we in the niger delta,dont want biafra.......nobody is marginalizing me...sooo,keep me out of biafra agitations...thx...

How many oil well do your people own

Name them then u can tell u

ExpiredNigeria:
Well normally I don't want to answer people like you but, just for others to read.
If truly you're from Niger Delta, what have you gained with all the Oil being taken from your devastated land? I live in Abuja and have seen all the development here and still going on from the money generated from Oil sales, oil from Niger delta but the last time I visited Bayelsa States in 2015 December I weep for the whole of Niger Delta.. that state is too rich with oil to that poor.

Thing is no body is begging you to be a Biafran and you're not speaking for most of our brothers in the South South who have Biafra in the heart.. there will be an opportunity for you guys to decide which side of the devide you want to join. as you know very well the Igbos don't need your oil to excel in any area of their life, the oil has not been the back bone of our success, production, buying and selling (Trade) is.

So you can go on and remain a Nigeria, I think the effort Igbos are trying to make is for the history to read that we really did try to carry you guys along when we agitated for biafra but after all which ever side of the divide you chose later was your collective decision as a people.

The Niger bridge was blown to stop Nigerian soldier from reaching Igbo land during the Biafra war when it was obvious you guys are not coming that is to tell you we don't really need you guys if you think yourself too important to us.

A lot of demolition in the South East but today tell me a state in Niger Delta that is better than the worst state in South East

Epic response

Rosskii:
I'm Igbo. You cannot look at every criticism through an ethnic prism. That makes you dumb. What, by the way is there to "envy" about a white person speaking your language? You've no idea how dumb and slavish you sound. Disgusting.

Speaking Igbo isn't the catch here....I have seen many whites do that in East. Even when I was in primary school, the Japanese in my class Bokian speaks Igbo


So the issue isn't speaking Igbo but believing in husband philosophy..That's one


Then Igbo is a hard language and for you to speak it...Then I Duff my hat



This shouldn't be tribal

joeprince23:
even where I eat bolle at ikwerre rd in DIOBU,people still speak igbo...I think its like lagos where apart from pigin,yoruba is also spoken

The name Diobu is even an Igbo name....So ignore him

According to historical facts even foresythe proved it


He said that the west can't afford another Japan in Africa that's why they didn't support biafra


It's a fact

seguno2:
How many states have airports built by the state?
Should that be the priority of Fayose in Ekiti when they are owing salaries and pensions without enough teachers and doctors for their schools and hospitals?
Let us try to be reasonable, please.
Thanks

Imo state was the first state that built their airport
Then asaba
Anambra is building

amdoyin82:
and it is your people that will still praise and hail the foolish fayose that he is OK not knowing your people are fooling him around. No major development in ekiti except to provide one derica of rice and #200 note every two months.

Seriously, doesbit mean ekiti no get airport r even air strip

On Saturday, 1st of April 2017, Nigerian DSTV users were hit with a shocking announcement revealing the increase in subscription charges of every DSTV package by five percent with effect from 1st May 2017.

This marks the fifth time DSTV is increasing its subscription fee in Nigeria since its inception in 2009. From the information made available, the price of DSTV Premium has increased by 55 percent from N9,000 which it charged in 2009 to N13,980 in 2017 while that of DSTV Access has increased by 26 percent since 2009.

In defending this price increase in such a time of economic hardship, DSTV Nigeria released a statement blaming the increase on inflation and Forex restriction. However, it is no news that Forex restriction has been the problem of almost every company in Nigeria that does business using foreign currency.

“We announced last year that we would do everything possible to hold the price barring any extreme factors. However, all our content is purchased in dollars and although we have done everything possible to hold the prices even with the price of everything else going up, we are now left with no choice but to adjust our subscription prices from 1 May,” DSTV said in a press statement.

Over the years, MultiChoice Africa Limited, which offers video entertainment services in Africa through its digital satellite television service, DSTV, has been under constant attack by Nigerians either over subscription fees or content, and this year is not an exception. Most Nigerians feel robbed by this pay TV and its activities in the country due to its monopoly on certain programmes such as the English Premiership League rights. Apart from the price increase, they are currently under attack on social media for trying to remove a renowned Gospel TV station, Kingdom Africa, a channel that offers family friendly content with a very high moral benefits while they have decided to leave the Big Brother Naija (BB9ja) channel, which some Nigerians claim has little or no moral benefits.

In 2016, the Premier League announced that it had closed a deal valid for the 2016/17 and 2018/19 seasons with Econet Media, owned by a Zimbabwean tycoon, Strive Masiyiwa. Ventures Africa questioned if this was the end of DSTV but over a year later DSTV seems to remain the king of the park in Africa.

Following this recent announcement on price increase, many Nigerians have been calling for the boycott of DSTV while others have decided that they are going to pack up their DSTV decoders and begin a search for other pay TV services currently running in the country. This brings the question of if Nigerians can really do without DSTV.

Can Nigerians do without DSTV?

While scanning through Twitter which has recently become an even more powerful uniting tool, I stumbled across a tweet which suggested that Nigerians can actually put away their cable networks and make use of unlimited internet data bundles to watch whatever station they wished to watch or must have missed.

But how true can this be in Nigeria looking at the fact that Internet access in the country is very expensive? It could become a reality in Nigeria if Internet Service Providers (ISPs) decide to drop the price of their unlimited data bundles in order to help cut cost for Nigerians. If this is possible, Nigerians would be able to save more; instead of spending so much on mobile data, all they have to do is pay for unlimited data bundles which they could also use on their phones, laptops and HDTVs. In this case, the subscriber will only pay for what he or she watches as opposed to paying for what they didn’t watch – something which has been one of the greatest concerns of Nigerians who call for pay as you use DSTV subscriptions.

This is also a call to the telecommunication companies in Nigeria to take advantage of the current situation as an opportunity to increase the number of Internet Service Providers that dropped in February this year. According to the latest data released by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Nigeria’s telecommunications networks lost 1,275,573 Internet users in February.

Even if some Nigerians claim to have ditched cable TV for the internet, we need to consider that once you ditch cable, your Internet connection will become the basic source of your media consumption, this means that you’ll need a very reliable Internet connection. And finding reliable Internet Service Providers can be quite the challenge.

But just in case any Nigerian decides to try this option he or she should make sure that their ISP supports super-high-speed bandwidth necessary for streaming high-definition and super-high-definition video. This is because, in some cases, you might need to upgrade your subscription to get a high bandwidth.

My former boss has a first class in economics and i have a second class lower.

To add to it, since the bank asked us to go home, he hasn't been able to use his head to think of what to do to help himself. But look at me today, even before the bank asked us to go, I was able to use my brain and created some really good stuff for myself. What matters is the brain, not the paper.

I just came out a ban.. But I don't mind going back.

Haven't u heard the conventional education system of the world is failing.. Unlike that of Finland, for instance.

You can't judge pple based on their grades.

I can't even start waiting words on you. No curse left in my bank. But u are backward negative and the stench of ur ignorance is surprising.

Been out of school for 7 years.. (on my 3rd job) I can tell u nobody dwells on the issue of grades past the interview stage, and many jobs do not go through that stage if they need what you got to offer.. There is a meeting and kaboom.. U have the job.. Credentials are submitted for just official reasons.

I was on my own some few days ago....I came out with 2.2 not that I wasn't intelligent but I didn't want to bribe any lecturer and didn't do that


Some peeps saw my profile on LinkedIn and they always do that....I turned down an offer last year

This dude called me and told me they wanted me that if I had 2.1

I asked him that is it 2.1 they need or experience and capacity to do the job ? He laughed and told me to forward my works.... I told him to Google me and see citations


So I have come to realise it's not all about grades but capacity to do the work

Left for me I will like to employ 3rd class only

iyamchee:
Nobody will still consider employing you before a First class holder.....
No matter how touching your story is....
Fact is, you ended up with a Third class.....

But she is employing people


Do you know that first class student always end up been employed while third class students end up employing people

Please house i need your advice. A friend who works in a real estate on the island here in Lagos, came to me over the weekend to seek for my advice on what to do about his job as his considering quitting...reasons being that

*Over the past few days, his boss the MD of the company have been on his case, complaining about his output, increased monitoring of his daily activities and using words like 'Am tired of you', 'You're inefficient' etc

* Recently he had a fallout with his direct boss in the office, who in turn issued him a query

He has being working on a business idea for sometime and have even registered the business, what is remaining is for him to launch out. He's thinking of quitting rather than wait to be sacked. is his fears correct? or should he stay on, improve on his work delivery, smoothing things with his oga's and then ease out quietly or wait to be sacked?

The house, i need your help on this one..

One thing he must understand and every salary earner must understand is that at a point in life....you will leave that job


No guts no glory
I can take anything from my boss but not bruising my ego n dignity


This is the time


No venture no success

After several episodes of the drawn battle for supremacy and a needless flex of power muscles between the Executive and the Legislative, the presidency has made a move to resolve the crisis. The presidency has set up a committee to negotiate and lobby the house in a bid to seek lasting peace to the issue between the two arms. The committee will also try to repair the working relationship between the executive and the 8th senate.

Announcing the constitution of the committee yesterday after the weekly Federal Executive Committee (FEC) meeting, the Minister of Information And Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated that the executive had become concerned by the way the relationship between the two arms had deteriorated in recent months. The minister stressed the importance of a cordial relationship between the two creations of the law as the only way they can ensure progress, and delivery of dividends of democracy to the citizenry.

The suspension of the confirmation of INEC Resident Electoral commissioners by the Senate which cited the refusal of the President to sack the acting chairman of the EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu whose appointment as the substantive chairman was rejected for the second time on March 15 as the basis, is the latest event in the fracas between the two bodies since the beginning of February.

In another of such events, the Senate drove away the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Alli Hameed, for failing to appear before the house in his uniform. They have also recommended the removal of the customs boss, while criticising the action of the Attorney General of the Federation for writing the house a letter on Hameed’s behalf. The Secretary General of the Federation, Babachir Lawal has also failed to appear before the house in the ongoing investigation into alleged mismanagement of funds allocated for the welfare of Internally Displaced Persons in the Northeast. Most recently, the Senate, on Wednesday 29th March, summoned the chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof Itse Sagay, over comments made regarding the suspension of the confirmation of the INEC officials. The renowned legal practitioner has since stated that he would not be honouring the summon as the senate lack the power to summon him.

These events have resulted in the unnecessary extension of debate on the 2017 budget which has been with the house since December 14, 2016. It is, thus, commendable that the president has now seen the need to break the show of force and negotiate with the senators who would not mind ensuring the president does not fulfil his manifestoes. The 8th senate, as it has largely shown, has nothing to lose by engaging in power play; the weight is on the presidency. So, it is wise and necessary for the President to find a way to ensure that he achieves his goal.

Nonetheless, it is particularly baffling that the president has allowed the case of the Acting Chairman of the EFCC to degenerate into this mess. With the law of the country silent on what comes next after a second rejection, all the president had to do to keep Magu as the Acting Chairman of EFCC was put out a statement to that effect. The inability and ineffectiveness of the presidency in handling its own affairs has given the senate the opportunity to further expose the lacuna within the executive.

It needs to be stated that it is within the power of senate to summon a public servant who works in any set up with a certain amount of money voted for in the budget. Thus the failure of the Secretary General of the Federation to appear before the house as well as the insistence of the presidency in keeping an overaged permanent secretary in the Ministry of Education beyond her retirement age is disregarding of the constitution.

In resolving these outstanding issues, the president, in addition to an expected success of the reconciliation committee in dialogue with the legislators, must put his house in order, and ensure a functional executive arm of government where everyone is reasonably subject to constituted authority.

“Fulanis from across the country and neighbouring countries gathered here last week and they requested for my permission to go and retaliate but I insisted that they should sheath their swords. Said Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, Kwara State Chairman, Alhaji Usman Adamu. This is the position of Nigeria as it stands now. Lately, Nigeria as a country has been confused on what to tag the Fulani herdsmen, killing along their paths and causing wanton destruction.

Anyone, soldier or not that kills the Fulani takes a loan repayable one day no matter – Nasir

Fulani as a tribe has a dossier of violence in their history so it is today. Unlike other African tribes, Fulani as a tribe has refused to let go some of the vestiges of violence.

Historical Background:

Majorly Muslim adherent and a bit wary of modernism. Accrding to online sources (Wikipeadia) it puts the tribe in this way: The Fula people or Fulani or Fulɓe (Fula: Fulɓe; French: Peul; Hausa: Fulani or Hilani; Portuguese: Fula; Wolof: Pël; Bambara: Fulaw), numbering between 20 and 25 million people in total, are one of the largest and a widely dispersed Muslim ethnic group in Sahel and West Africa.The Fula people are traditionally believed to have roots in the people from North Africa and the Middle East, who later intermingled with local West African ethnic groups. As an ethnic group they are bound together by the Fula language (Fulfulde), culture, history, their religious affiliation and their efforts to spread Islam in Sahel region and the West Africa. Also the source continued : The Fula people are widely distributed, across the Sahel from the Atlantic coast to the Red Sea, particularly in West Africa. The countries where they are present include Mauritania, Ghana, Senegal, Guinea, the Gambia, Mali, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Niger, Chad, Togo, South Sudan the Central African Republic, Liberia, and as far east as the Red Sea in Sudan and Egypt. With the exception of Guinea, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, where the Fula make up the largest ethnic group, and Fulas are either a significant or a minority ethnic group in nearly all other countries they live in.

Strides against modernization:

More of cattle rearers and sometimes rustlers, this has put the tribe on a war path with their host community as we see in some villages outskirts of Jos, a sleepy town somewhere in the middle belt of Nigeria. Like a thief in the night, they struck, killing innocent women and children. Intermarried with the Hausa tribe, another predominantly Muslim tribe in Nigeria , making it hard to distinguish them. Distinguishing the Fulani from the Hausa is like differentiating between six and half a dozen or differentiating a leopard from a jaguar. They are defined in this term by Wikipedia : Fulani herdsmen or Fulani pastoralists are nomadic or semi nomadic Fulani herders whose primary occupation are raising livestock.The pure Fulani pastoralist engages in random movement of cattle while the semi-nomadic makes trans humance migration and return to their camps or homes.

Loving their livestock for than themselves, they are notable nomadic and have remainded so, right from ages. Though, the human has evolved from a nomadic lifestyle to homom habililis then homo sapiens. But,as it stands , the majority of Fulani herdsmen wander around with their cattle, making it difficult to domesticate them.

Though , they love their cattle, but, the people whose farm has been destroyed and live snuffed out of don’t love the Fulani Herdsmen. In short, they will love a situation where they will not want to have anything to do with them.

In May 2016, Governor Ayodele Fayose, Nigeria’s enfant terrible and governor of Ekiti state and a member of PDP(opposition party) prohibited cattle grazing in Ekiti state in order to prevent the growing violence between farmers and herders. This announcement came shortly after the death of two Ekiti residents following a violent clash with herders in the state, as well as countless other reports on farmer-herder violence across Nigeria and the perceived threat that herdsmen pose to settler communities nationwide. Though, this move has been criticized as a ploy to slight the president who is a Fulani and has been accused of paying lip services to the incessant killings.

“In 2014, more than 1,200 people lost their lives, according to the most recent Global Terrorism Index. This made the Fulanis the world’s fourth deadliest militant group, the report said.” Said BBC report

A Fulani herdsman water his cattle on a dusty plain between Malkohi and Yola town on May 7, 2015. AFP PHOTO/EMMANUEL AREWA (Photo credit should read EMMANUEL AREWA/AFP/Getty Images)



This has placed the group in a enviable position and a few yards from dreaded ISIS, though the president of Nigeria, who himself is a Fulani man and has a ranch , He has put a lot of machinery in motion to ensure that the menace of these sets of people is curtailed. Fulani Herdsmen has done a lot of damage to his image, to his tribe image and above all to his religion( Islam) .

In some quarters, people have complained that the president is paying lip service to these killing, others have said that it’s an orchestrated effort to Islamize the Southern Nigeria . This is coming after Enugu ( A regional capital of Igbo who are 99% Christian) killing, which up till now there hasn’t been any conviction, then Ile Ife ( a holy city to Yoruba and their cultural capital)

Ride against Mordenization:

Killing in the middle of the night and the day come as a result of either destruction of farmers or host communities trying to safeguard their farms and properties. The Fulani herdsmen have a way of reogarnizing and regrouping to launch an unprecedented attack that kills up to 70 people in one swoop! As we saw in the case of Zaki Ibiam which happened a few days ago. A call as being called for the federal government to develop a ranch and train them on the nitty gritty of modern day agriculture.

Known to be averse to anything modernization, modern ranching system isn’t an exception. The Nigeria Government wanted to take an escapist route of creating grazing bill. This is in a bid to take tgrazing field by the government and give to the Fulani. A move that was rebuffed by well meaning Nigeria.

“Why can’t the Fulani herdsmen who hail from the North simply subscribe to modern, civilised culture, acquire land formally and establish ranches in the North?” Ayo Foyose

Though, the Grazing Bill has been thrown out, some states have tried to be politically correct by giving out lands to these herdsmen to graze. With the high level of illiteracy and low level of education amongst them, showing them the rudiments of ranch system will be slim. It will take another three decades to see a Fulani cowboy as we used to see in Texas and Colorado, there might not even be a Fulani cowboy. Education and domestication will be paramount. As the Fulani herdsmen refuse to domesticate, taking Islam to a new realm and wandering about with heir cattle , without any imperative action by the national administrators. Nigerians must learn now to sleep with one eye open and guard themselves for the consequences that might occur, either nicely or badly.
