but d so called igbo never ruled

AND "YOU" THAT HAVE RULED, HOW'S YOUR LIFE BETTER?

i think the authorities should do something about the rape accusations. thats how one in my area that used to come to a guys house, cook for him and everyone in the compound knew she used to come the guys house. they had a misunderstading one, the girl ran out only to return with two soldiers that the guy tried raping her. that she only came to collect her money. that the guy bought something from her and asked her to come to the house to get her money. fortunately for the guy, na soldiers she carry come. they started asking questions and found out that the girl was lying. but like say na police she call, they will first take him to the station before asking him anything....

i am igbo but they have bastardized our traditional institutions. i don't understand the reason for this eze ndigbo nonesense. i blame our governors that have politicized the institution. an Eze should have a territory or a kingdom he rules over. how can you be Eze on another man's land? which territory do you have?

motunrayo766:
President Muhammadu Buhari has given conditions under which he could consider restructuring.

The president gave the conditions during an interactive session with Nigerians based in France.

Buhari met with them after the Peace Forum attended by over 50 world leaders.

The president said there should be proper definition of what Nigerians want before the government can delve into restructuring.

“There are too many people talking lazily about restructuring in Nigeria. Unfortunately, people are not asking them individually what do they mean by restructuring? What form do they want restructuring to take?” he said.

“Do they want us to have something like the three regions we used to have? And now we have 36 states and the FCT. What form do they want? They are just talking loosely about restructuring.

“Let them define it and then we see how we can peacefully do it in the interest of Nigerians.

“They are just saying they want Nigeria restructured and they don’t have the clue of what the form the restructuring should be. So, anybody who talks to you about restructuring in Nigeria, ask him what he means and the form he wants it to take.”

Restructuring can be seen as the cornerstone of the campaign of Atiku Abubakar, Buhari’s main opponent in the 2019 general election.

the president is the lazy one here. who should be asking them the questions? people are demanding for a restructured country, you as the president should call them and sit down, discuss with them and ask them the kind of restructuring they want. have you call them to ask and they told you they dont know the kind of restructuring they want?. its Just like NLC asking for a minimum wage increase, you sit in your office and say they are lazily asking for pay increase. you call all the parties together and ask them what kind of restructuring are they clamoring for.
but because you don't want to hear anything about restructuring, you.........

if we had a sane security system that is apolitical, they would have carried out a detailed investigation into this allegation. its a damning allegation says alot about the country Nigeria. but who will bail the cat?

that to show their love for Nigeria. they know evil going on but chose to keep quiet because they are benefiting from the evil. our political class are so heartless. why are they threatening to reveal whatever happened in aso rock now because the events didnt favour them?

shame on all of them if they know the truth and keep quiet.

Pureety:
Op you said she used the money in settling family issues? Its not like she used it to go shopping for herself or on frivolous things!!

To her, family comes first, probably she didn't want to be selfish and use the money on herself while her family are in pressing need of money!!

If this is your reason for breaking up then you were never in love with that lady!!

i disagree with you. so, if the guy didnt send her the money, how would she have settled the family issues?

a sensible person will invest her money to yield more money for her so that she will have more to spend on her family. so, after settling her family, will the family not have more problems to settle? where will she get the money to settle them? she should have invested the money and have a source of income to take of whatever problems she wants to settle. thats what a wise person should do.

PDP governors do not embezzle no wonder Ibori n others went to jail. Hopeless Igbos everywhere on NL with their bigotry.

and a hopeless yoruba who won't address and issue or direct that to whoever he's quoting than calling igbos hopeless.

HarkymTheOracle:
Geez!!!
This is a fvcked up country!!.
So because of 4k (approximately $11), they won't open a case file to prosecute a rapist..and they will rather let him go scot free?.
I can't even comprehend the logic behind this.
The only country where you have to pay to have the police to investigate a robbery in which you lost all your possessions..otherwise, you are on your own.
And the police will tell you stuffs like "You get luck say dem (the robbers) no kill you"

Is it a crime to be a Nigerian?

you want to try Nigeria Police? a guy that services my generator had his shop burgled and all the generators he had in his shop( people's generators) about 8 were stolen. he went to the NPF to report the case, they told him to pay 10k before they can take his statement. that was how the case ended.

this country is just a mess

Ivy, y are certainly the ignorant one here. I may not be an economist but I know that before now, the fg was paying less for subsidy and the price of pms was less. Even though the subsidy claims were inflated. Now, the subsidy claims have tripped and the price of fuel gone higher. That means something bis wrong. So, if things are done properly, you don't need be borrow any money to service the subsidy, rather finding out why the claims were trippled and the price of pms this high. Any body who will want to leverage on this present status is corrupt.

Please, someone should remind this man that he didn't give the position to the people of South East rather to persons from his party. Besides, the appointment of a minister doesn't relate to the entire people rather an individual. That Ngige is the minister of Labour, does that now mean all the people from Anambra State are minister of Labour? Ngige is there because he's a member of APC.

This is the first time we are hearing such a thing in this country. Other presidents have had people in their cabinets from States that they had low votes but they appointed people from those states because its a constitutional requirement that every state should be represented. So what's the fuss about?

The same people said that it was Cambridge that he sat for, so WAEC can not provide his results. Now the same WAEC is issuing him a certificate which has a passport of when he's old. If they can find his results, they can as well find his passport when he sat for the exam

when did being a deputy governor or vice president means automatic replacement of the your principal? so, because osibanjo is the VP, he will now replace Buhari? funny. seeing the cable and the way they cage osibanjo, they will look for someone who will protect their interest and that could be from any region. they will even prefer someone from SS. besides, this issue of power returning to the south is not a written agreement. that was agreement by PDP as a party to carry everyone along. when did APC adopt PDP's idea?

seunmsg:
They are trying to deceive the south west. Dogara is recontesting and has all the advantage if PDP wins majority of seats in the house. Only a nitwit from the south west would believe this watery promise.

The same way PDP promised south west speakership before the 2011 election. We voted massively for Jonathan and he looked away conveniently as Tambuwal emerged speaker after election. Despite cries by Obasanjo and Yoruba PDP leaders, Jonathan did nothing about it.

They also promised to zone the party chairmanship to south west after 2015 general election, on the day of the convention, Wike hijacked the position for Secondus from south south and even insulted the entire Yoruba race as inconsequential on national television. Atiku is playing the same game again, we must not fall for it.

please, you don't because of sentiments and be telling lies. was PDP that denied SW the speakership position or the people from SW that collaborated and gave the positon to tambuwal which PDP and GEJ fought against.

The owner of a beer parlour by name, Francis Ogbonnaya, located at Amasiri in Afikpo Local Government area of Ebonyi state has threatened to sue the council chairman, Hon. Enyim Oko Enyim, to court over alleged debt which runs into half a million Naira for beer purchased on credit.

Efforts to reach the council boss proved abortive as he failed to answer phone calls made to his mobile line. He also didn’t respond to text messages sent to him as at the time of filing this story.


The 56-year old Ogbonnaya, who operates ‘Madison Bar’ in Osisioma road, Ihie Village in Amasiri community, alleged that the debt runs from 2012 when he (Hon. Enyim) was coordinator of Amasiri Development Centre to 2017 when he was elected as the council boss of area.

A petition by Ogbonnaya dated 13th January 2017 which was addressed to the Police Area Command, Afikpo North LGA and made available to Daily Trust, stated that part of the debt were drinks which he (Hon. Enyim) ordered for wedding of his younger brother, Mr. Uga Enyim on 24th November, 2012.


The debt incurred by the council boss on that fateful day for his younger brother was N25,000, our correspondent learnt.

Subsequently, huge chunk of the debts were drinks the council boss supposedly authorized for his friends and supporters during his campaign for the post of council chairman of the area in 2016.

The letter read in part, “Between May 2012 and 2016, Hon. Enyim continued to place order for beers particularly during his campaign in 2016 which is to the tone of N326,000 with cumulative interest of 15.67 percent.

Daily Trust gathered that the debt, which negatively affects the smooth running of Mr. Ogbonnaya’s business, had being reported to the traditional council of the community.

I believe this is his reason for including it, majority of Rivers people want it. Before he fled, he visited Portharcourt and had audience with them and even Asari supported IPOB, did he not?

i stopped believing the people on NL claiming that Rivers people dont support biafra. i live in Port Harcourt. i have a coursemate in the uni by name Awajima. he supports Biafra with his life.

the only reasonable comment from a female on this thread!

thank you, I was about to generalize something sha but thank you for changing my perspective a lil bit.......

don't do it guys..... only one in a million similar scenarios play out well.... it is one of the most difficult things on earth to cope with.......

if anyone is going to do it..... make sure u condition ur mind for the worst and brace for impact at all times.... might not even happen BTW them but will u be able to convince ur mind?

i personally don't think there's anything wrong with her. is it just because he's ur close friend? as long as the babe has been bleeped, there's nothing else to change.
supposing you marry someone that's not close to you but later find out the guy that has been doing d damage, will u den send her away?

Mr Fashola the Minister of Darkness,it seems you've failed to realise that your Buhari is not contesting 2019 election against Jonathan but Atiku.
Quit this blame on Jonathan already and answer this posers?

1. Did Jonathan only got to know about the impeding recession on the day the election result was announced and decided to concede defeat?

2. If he Jonathan was avoiding being at the helm of affairs of the country under recession, don't you think he would've been smarter enough by refusing a second term bid and allow the party field another candidate since he knew his candidacy was generating bad blood in the North?

3. Of Jonathan plunged Nigeria into debt and the total debt of the country under PDP 16years rule was just 6 Trillion,what do we say your Buhari APC led Government has plunged Nigeria into with the total debt of 30 trillion you have incurred in 3 and half years and still wanting to borrow more?

4. Between Jonathan's government and Buhari's government,which did Nigerians witness lay off of workers more?

Lastly, I'm so much disappointed in you and I question what really have upstairs to have been celebrated as the then Governor of Lagos state if you need to be told that Jonathan's budget for works,power and other sectors you mentioned was lower than yours because exchange rate was lower in his time and the economy was better, while your government's mismanagement of the economy sky rocketed exchange rate.

Please feel free to compare the achievements of the Government Atiku served to your Buhari's government because Atiku is the one contesting against him and not Jonathan.

I hope you remember you once said in your bid to ridicule Jonathan that "any serious government will fix power in 6 months"? Is your government automatically not a serious government for failing to fix same power for 3 and a half years?

Maybe as you've suddenly realised that to fix power is not magic like you recently confessed, you'll one day also realise that you and your government have failed Nigerians and it was very foolish of you and an insult to Nigerians to have asked for a second term.

Fashola, did GEj win the election or did he lose? Are you saying that he shouldn't have relinquished power even though he lost the election?

So by your assessment, if he had one the election, he will then hand over to Buhari.

Better tell us that GEJ asked Jega to rig the election in favour of Buhari because of the imminent recession at that time.

You disappoint sometimes dha

seunmsg:
Fashola making lots of sense as usual. Infrastructure wise, this government is the best in the history of Nigeria. And to those criticising him for saying Yorubas should vote Buhari to enable the return of power to south west by 2023, please note that politics is all about interest.

Igbo's are supporting Atiku, a well documented rogue with no history of administrative competence simply because Peter Obi is his running mate and he also promised to hand over to an Igbo man after a single term. Ekweremadu and ohaneze group recently threatened to dump PDP if Atiku refuse to choose an Igbo running mate and nobody called them out for tribalism. If Ekweremadu, Ohaneze and other Igbo group can demand for an Igbo running mate and 2023 Igbo presidency, there is nothing wrong with Fashola advocating for a Yoruba 2023 presidency.

YOU LIED ABOUT THIS. igbos are not supporting Atiku because of Obi. even before Obi was appointed, Igbos were rooting for Atiku. and even if he selected someone else maybe from south west, igbos would still have rooted for Atiku.

wetin concern James okoronkwo with what happens in kano state? must they always involve themselves into what does not concern them? allow the people concerned to know whether he's transparent or not.

yarimo:
From Vice-president slot to SGF. ATIKU and GBENGA DANIEL this is your biggest political miscalculation.

do you know that the SGF has more roles to play than the vp? he's more included than the vp. he's at the centre of affairs than the govt. the president can decide to shut the vp off and he will just be there. so, i personally see the vp position as just at the mercy of the president. he can't do anything if the president don';t assign the roles to him

Sharpsword:
PDP should be the last one to take a jab at the power sector under apc, for over 16 years the power sector was in a critical state compare to apc 3 years. PDP where is our 16 billion dollars budgeted for power, oh I forgot it is in Obasanjo's book.

how many power plants has APC built? comment with sense. most of the generating stations were built by PDP

There is no smoke without fire!

Heating up the already red hot polity will do nothing but division, build up tension in the political space and finally make a simple civil process look like a war zone.

Was Fayose mentioned in the Dasuki gate - yes

Was his immunity as a governor tampered with during his tenure - NO

Is the move to arrest him as regards this case justified : Yes

So let this guys do their job.

and oshiomole has immunity? they should be allowed to do their jobs for only pdp members? court had to even direct the shameless efcc to investigate oshiomole and nothing has been done about it.

BurningBlade:
This Reno Omokri like speaking from both side of his mouth, what nonsense!

I bet Reno Omokri missed the part where Peter Obi said the only place he has a home is Onitsha.

I'll keep saying it that the worse mistake nigerians will ever make, is to vote back PDP into ASO ROCK.

and you also missed it. he listed cities in nigeria meaning he was referring to the houses in nigeria. besides. his home is his native home, which is anambra.

i don't even know why this should be APC's concern. he bought the house long before he became a governor.

blackpanda:
You Nigerians and wailers in particular are either pathological liars or just have such memory

How can u claim to love yaradua In the short period he was president all he received was vitriolic hate and anger that he should resign, which probably added to his early grave

Same thing they tried with buhari but God disgraced them. You haters and racists will come in thousand fold but u will all be disgraced!

APC supporters are the most disgusting people to interact with. all they do is abuse and with no substance.

i suppose Buhari is a racist and hater for asking the national assembly to impeach yaradua. please read this since you guys are so lazy to research before coming online to display your stupidity....

Let the igbos follow Obi and let us follow Osinbajo. Tit for Tat. The igbos rejected Buhari/Osinbajo in 2015 but are counting on yorubas to divide our votes for the sake of their son becoming VP. It will never happen. Buhari till 2023

igbos are not counting on yorubas to divide their votes because of Obi. whether and Igbo or yoruba was picked as the VP, Igbos would still have voted for PDP. you guys should be sincere sometimes. igbos can never vote Buhari. only few. it has nothing to do with the party but individual. they said igbos hate apc because a northerner is the president, but they are supporting another northerner of same ethnic nationality as the buhari. even before Atiku picked his running mate, igbos were already supporting him. so it has nothing to with Obi

CilicMarin:
By Yinka Ajayi National Chairman of the United Progressive Party, UPP, Chief Chekwas Okorie, in this interview, outlines why the South-East and South-West should back President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election and speed up power shift to the South among other national issues.



Nigeria is still a work in progress but it’s unfortunate that we are in election mood. While those in government are busy convincing Nigerians that they have done    

On President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war Nobody can take that from them because they were able to fight the anti-corruption war headlong.

But for some to call the anti-corruption war of this administration a selective fight is illogical. Because the issue of fraud and corruption does not expire. It’s a matter that lasts over time. And a government that is serious has to start from somewhere. If it’s one sided, who will they arrest, is it other innocent Nigerians or Chekwas Okorie who had never gone near government resources or treasury?

And some particular Nigerians had access to the treasury for 16 good years. If they start from there and another government comes to power, they can continue from there. I always remind those that say anti-corruption war is one-sided of an Igbo proverb that says: A River can only drown somebody whose feet it has seen. If you did not go near the river, how can it drown you? Are they saying if they stole and the other people stole, it should be cancelled? It’s only a corrupt man that will say that. They are not even ashamed that they had 16 years to rule and they messed the whole country up. They laid the foundation for recession.

Before I sound like the ruling party spokesperson, everybody knows that they had a higher source of revenue, by the time this government came, we had less than 7billion dollars in foreign reserve now we are talking about 42 to 46 billion in our foreign reserves.

Despite the situation we have found ourselves, there have been indications of prudence in resource management.

Nobody who will say agriculture has not received the kind of boost we are beginning to experience more certain growth and genuine infrastructural development.

The Buhari’s administration attitude not to cancel contracts approved by the previous government because his government didn’t award them, and encouraging contractors to go back to site is unprecedented.

We are now beginning to look at railway as a source of transportation; Agriculture has a quantum leap in development and is affecting Urban-Rural migration positively.

So things may not be automatic but things are looking up. For us in UPP, we decided not to field a presidential candidate so that we can use this period to consolidate and build a solid structure for 2023.     So for me, the Buhari administration is good to go for second term because there is nothing in PDP that Nigerians are missing that will make me want them to come back. I can live with another four years of Buhari but may not be able to endure another eight years of PDP.

The reason is the person running under PDP moral baggage is known, his pasts are known and we know what they did with the opportunity they had when they were in power for 16 years. So a Leopard does not change its spots. The saying that the devil you know is better than the angels you don’t know is true.

In a situation where there are two devils, you can choose the better devil. To Nigerians that are ethnic minded, they are faced with two Fulani, the APC Fulani and the PDP Fulani. It is left for you to choose your own Fulani.

For me, Buhari has an uncompleted job and the way he is going is a path of progress.

It is for Nigerians to decide what they want but I personally will prefer another four years of Buhari before power shift to the South-West or South-East, than another eight years of another Fulani with the same spot and if you add it to the previous nightmare of the PDP it will be too much for Nigerians to bear.

mr okorie, i don't care where the president comes from. all these hoopla about igbo presidency as that will transform all the igbos to become the president. we are asking for a working nigeria. the last 3 years of this administration have not been funny. unless we just want to keep deceiving ourselves. any sincere person irrespective of what they benefit from the govt knows that things are hard and you are praying for it to continue? so, even if the fulanis will be the president of the country for the next 20 years, i dont care as long as things are working the way it should.

arewaproudly:
On August 2011, the Government of GEJ gave a comprehensive concession to Living Faith Church AKA Winners chapel to pack 4 private jets belonging to the church free of charge in any of the airports in the country. An import waiver was also issued by the former government to Living Faith Church. This guaranteed that the ministry paid next to nothing on whatever they import into the country.

This concession was revoked by the FG on Feb. 2016 and import waiver canceled. The church unable to meet up with the huge charges being accumulated on packing fees for 4 private jets, sold off two of the jets by July 2016.

We may now understand why Bishop David Oyedepo never sees anything good in this present government just because this government insisted on things being done properly.

For me, why should multi-billion naira mega cooperate churches be given concessions and import waivers when small legitimate business are made to pay through their nose whenever they import? In the same way, why should companies like Dangote, Bua group, Milan ground, Golden Penny enjoy concessions and import waivers when these companies make billions in profit after tax?

I always have the opinion that 90% of the accidental billionaires we have in this country are living on government concessions and waivers. Take that away from them and they will be like every one of us.

Concession and waiver agreements were abused by the former government as was revealed by 2016 Senate Ad hoc committee on import duty waivers which revealed that the FG from lost between 2011 to 2015 N447.42bn through fraudulent concessions and waivers. Consequently to this report, the present government canceled all forms of import waivers in 2016 and some organizations made to pay the FG what they owe the government.

We may now understand how Nigeria’s custom was able to remit N1trn in 2017. All these policies and checkings created enemies for BUHARI’s government. People who have been ripping off the country for years being asked to pay the right fees for their imports, automatically made them enemies of Buhari and his government.

Truly, this government is fighting for the masses and that’s why we have less and less accidental billionaires under this government. The free monies have dried up.

this write up is total rubbish to curry sentiments from like minds.

Oyedepo has never supported Buhari for one day. in 2014, he told all who care to listen to vote against Buhari. i'm sure form your understanding, buhari was the president in 2014.

Stupidity is wen u expect a person that has stayed for 3years to fix the shit of someone that was there for 8!

can you listen to yourself?
he met a shit of pump fuel price at 89 naira, a bag of rice at 7.5/8k, naira to dollar rate at 164 and the only way to fix the poo is to double all the things he met on ground? you sound like an empty barrel.

worsening a situation you met means you don't have the capacity to do the job. you should improve on what you met on ground and not to worsen it.
