IpobAntidote: Going through an educational system does not equate to having common sense, logic and the ability to think and act rationally. She has a degree higher than I have simply because I'm not keen on getting a phd. I can get one if desire such but I have no interest in such right now. A lot of you people don't understand that getting a degree does not mean that you are necessarily smarter than someone who doesn't, it simply means that you are more determined, focused and persevered in getting one. I know people with PhDs that I won't consider to be super smart and I also know people without much education who are pretty smart than a lot of educated ones.

Federal govt power ends in aviation while Wike is the Governor of Rivers state.
If we go by your logic of exclusive list and aviation the plane will remain in air and if it lands both the persenggers will remain in the airport. if they step foot outside the airport they are venturing into Wike Jurisdiction because he remains the Governor of Rivers State and land belongs to state government
These are nonsense 1999 constitution that is keeping this republic down
seunmsg: Even with the above explanation, some diehard wailers would still come and argue that the building was burnt down because someone somewhere had stolen all the Covid-19 donations. They think we’re still in the 70’s and 80’s where people can steal money and then burn down the building to destroy the records of the theft.
The simple reason people think like this is due to distrust and the way the adminstration is romancing corruption and systematic looting, of the fire was at ministry of works or labour no one will raise eye brow
No offence Pls id like to ask if u are as educated as she is?
IpobAntidote: I knew the whole thing is fake but I just couldn't locate the original source. This just goes to show you the level of depravity that exist among the so called mis educated (education without logic, morals and ethics) fools such as this woman. Always trying to bring the country to disrepute even though she was terrible when she was in govt. Was she not in govt when about 700, 000 people applied, packed a stadium after paying 1000 Naira for 4000 jobs that does not even exist. People actually died for these none existing jobs. I guess unemployment and hunger was not in the land back then. By their posts, words, actions and reactions we shall know that retarded brainwashed IPOB Biafuro monkeys.
Some just beg cos they like awuf, even here on NL E-beggers no let us hear word, twitter is like the holy congregation of beggers,
Biancah: Why do Nigerians beg alot ? In all social media handles Nigerians like begging, if a celebrity should post anything and there are 2000 comments ,1700 of the comments would be of people pasting their account numbers.
Why do Nigerians feel entitled to someone's money. Even nairaland is not left out, account numbers are almost everywhere on nairaland.
Some were even asking S.eun for giveaway like they are entitled to his money.
Why do some Nigerians feel like they are entitled to a rich/well to do person's money?

Nigeria operates on a faulty foundation. It is a country intricately entangled in different ways. But the greatest challenge Nigerians as citizens of a defined geographical entity has been the inability to overcome the indifference to their country on patriotism and loyalty as a people responsible to a nation.
A critical assessment of the actions or conducts of majority of Nigerians gives the impression that some people think their country is a temporary abode of habitation, as they would one day abandon it to an original home somewhere. It is utopian thoughts. Condemnably, this inclination has perpetually amplified national faultlines of ethnicity, religion or regionalism on every issue.
But the narrative on citizenship is different in other climes. Not long ago, President Donald Trump had a fierce confrontation with Speaker Nancy Pelosi over parliamentary debates on whether or not America should go to war with Iran over the crisis and controversies generated by the President’s order which led to the assassination of an Iranian Army General, Qassim Soleimani.
In spite of the official and unconcealed open bickering of these top senior America leaders, all parliamentarians whether of the ruling republicans or democrats harped defiantly on protecting the national or American interest first. In their contributions, all were concerned that personal animosities should not supersede the American interest. This is the tattoo of patriotism and loyalty responsible citizens wear at all times.
And all citizens of other countries of the world do not compromise their national interest, no matter the motivation or circumstance; whether as individuals or corporate bodies. Unfortunately, the experience of Nigeria is sadly different and extremely odd. Here, Nigerians do owe allegiance not to the nation, but their sentimental blocs or personal interests even where these are injurious to the national question.
The media plays an important role in reshaping society and molding public opinion. But in other countries, the media and its operators play these roles with ultimate regard and responsibility to their country of domiciliary. APF, an online newswire is of France and similarly, the Cable Network News (CNN) is of America.
However, no matter the challenge posed to them by professionalism and ethical demands, they do not compromise the national interests of their countries. It is like a taboo for either CNN or APF to practice their trade in a manner that is likely to compromise or jeopardize the national interests of their countries, particularly on security matters.
Nigerian citizens have a different perception of citizenship. They seek every day to pull down their country. They embark on actions which tend to even question the humanity in them. Some media in Nigeria are the worse culprits. Not only are they are excited by the security challenges that have held Nigeria at the jugular, but they ply their trade in a manner that unpretentiously expose them as saboteurs against their nation.
Cyberspace terrorism is globally acknowledged as a new, but very strong and lethal aspect of terrorism. There are even laws prohibiting the indulgence into cyberspace terrorism, which is by every ramification a potent threat in counter-terrorism efforts. But some media in Nigeria and its practitioners have given full support and exercise it wittingly.
Topmost among Nigerian media in this disapproving attitude against Nigeria or their country is Sahara Reporters (SR). This online publication operated by Nigerians owes its existence/funding to external forces. And to date, SR still draws its funding substantially from external sponsors, including countries which are Nigeria’s adversaries.
Therefore, SR has no feeling for Nigeria’s predicaments on insecurity. The touchiest aspect of it is that SR goes out of its way to indulge in destructive falsehood against the Nigerian Government, the Nigerian Military and particularly, the Nigerian Army, which are battling Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorism in the country’s Northeast.
SR has ordained itself as a news platform that has become a concentrated and brazen mouthpiece of the enemies of Nigeria. Every Nigerian and the entire world knows that Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorism which have troubled and tormented Nigerians for over a decade is funded and activated by external forces. The conspiracy against Nigeria is thick and, it is refreshed every day. And the actions of SR indicate that it has conscripted itself into plots to destabilize Nigeria.
So, SR is very incensed that the Nigerian Government under President Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Military have not given terrorists or their sponsors a chance to overrun Nigeria. SR has devoted its news platform to rubbish the Military and efforts of troops in quelling terrorism in the country. They are tacitly frustrating the counter-insurgency operations in the country.
SR does it by mindlessly unleashing a pen and psychological war on the Nigerian Army and the troops in the frontlines through mischievous and fabricated news reports. The intention of SR through such invented and resentful reports is to give full support to terrorists, glorify their acts and embolden insurgents to plot and unleash more atrocities on Nigerians.
When SR is not reeling out fake news against the Nigerian Army, its editorials are fixated on dictating to Mr. President who is qualified or unqualified to serve the nation as Service Chiefs. SR has rendered its news platform to terrorists’ sponsors to ensure Nigeria is defeated in the war against terror.
Regrettably SR has marketed itself consistently as the pen wing of terrorists. It is acting as a news medium to complement terrorists’ efforts in executing the agenda of disintegration of Nigeria. So, SR is now courageous to take their battle to the doorsteps of Nigerian troops at the warfront.
The instruments adopted by SR even question their professional competence and ethical sanity. They engage in outright falsehood; publish unverified news, twist everything that comes from the theatre of operation to give a different interpretation to the public. By this action, they bolster the horrendous acts of terrorists to keep greasing their sponsorship by terrorists’ kingpins.
Just yesterday, SR quoted out of context, the former Commander, Command Theatre, Operation Lafiya Dole. And to blow-up their known mischief, SR speculated generously about deaths of soldiers and civilians as well as missing persons from the imaginary encounter between troops and insurgents. It however never complied with the professional creed of confirmation of the news, but went ahead to publish it.
The online publication sourced the materials for the said publication, after some mischief makers went to town with an alarming casualty figure, as it was done in the Jonathan's era to instigate mutiny in the armed forces. SR faults everything or decision taken by the Army leadership with every bias. Whose interest is SR serving? Could it be that SR is more interested in festering Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorism in Nigeria than devoting their news platform to assist the Nigerian Government and people battle terrorism to a terminal point?
It should not be concealed to SR or its operators that it is into active cyberspace terrorism by promoting the agenda of terrorists and their financiers. What is however clear is that SR cannot continue to thrive in the corporate world on the blood of innocent Nigerians. By the strength of the prayers of Nigerians, nemesis will soon trace and catch-up with SR.

GermanMelania: E pain you sha. So we must not ask for evidencd just because our papa be palmwine tapper. No one saud he shouild manufacture everything. I am asserting he isn't manufacturing anything.
Dottore: I don't know why some people are hating are so pained about this Innoson.
Before you ignorantly throw more tantrums at the tycoon who despite not having the privilege to attend a tertiary institution has carved a niche for himself, can u visit at least two of his factories like the one in Enugu where he manufactures ceramic wares, plastics, chairs, water storage tanks, PVC Ceiling, Gift Items, household items, kitchen wares etc or the one in Nnewi where he produces spare parts and manufacturs automobiles and see if you are better off than the "least" of any of his graduate employee?
Can u also visit Shandong, Foshan and Wuhan in China and see if you can measure up in anyway with any of the hundreds of Nigerians (including your fellow Afonjas) whom he single handedly sponsored to China, trained them and have them in his employ?
Meanwhile start by telling us about your father's achievement(s), if any?
Can you tell us what you, your father or the most prominent person in your family does for a living and how he can be compared with this Industrialist who without governments support is an employer of more than 4,000 citizens of Nigeria Irrespective of tribe.
Also for your information, there's no Car manufacturer anywhere in the world that makes 100 percent of their components. All are assemblers in one way or the other if you must use the word.
Chai , why all the hate and long grammar, we only said whats true , i couldnt care less to go tru the bola the u just wasted time to type, its better to even argue intelligently than raining insults like a semi illiterate not that im saying you are one.
