the only way the SE will be developed is to sack all igbo governors in SE and replace them with yoruba governors like fashola. all your igbo governors are incompetent thieves. thats why you have no development. we have to replace all your governors with competent yoruba men and hausa like el-rufai

Do you want to engage in a meaning discourse or just wanna blab as usual?

dollarathe:
I don't understand d protest, did Nigeria hold anybody from moving ? pack ur families and business from Kaduna, Lagos, akure, sokoto, etc and settle down in Onitsha, aba, Enugu etc. what's d crime in this. why beg Nigeria to leave u ?

Your hatred and envy for anything Igbo wouldn't let you reason properly. You think you wouldn't be affected if this should get out of hand?

sauskyjoe:
These protesters are just confused. They dnt know wat they want.

Keep deceiving yourself. They don't know what they want but they have consistently been on the streets for a month now and are not ready to back down until their grievances are looked into. These guys are organized and means business. Quote me anywhere!

The Nigerian government headed by Buhari has been begging the Boko haram terrorists to come for negotiation but has chosen not to engage and assuage these legitimate protesters in a dialogue to assure them of government's support and readiness to develop all parts of the country irrespective of political and ethnic divides. Shame on Mr Buhari and his advisers. Are we all going to keep quiet until this gets out of hand too?

ekafine:
Buhari keep arming your Boko Haram brothers..

Can you imagine? They even dashed them a T72 tank for free. Na only for peaceful protesters and innocent civilians dem dey get power. Metcheeeeew!

Abagworo:
This kind of information shouldn't have been released to the public.

See them. Evil men, busy deceiving the gullible populace. Are you guys still winning the war?

southsouthman:


The same way you believed them during GEJ's administration. It is our time to believe those negative stories to encourage them the same way you did to encourage them to disparage the government of your country.

Don't mind the hypocrite

tonyfrenzy:
It cannot be, in a single battle.

All will be well.

Can you imagine? Even lost a T72 tank. And the mofos will kill like 2 of the insurgents and start making noise. Tufiakwa

Does it mean the Soldiers defected? No wonder, Dasuki said he has a lot to divulge. Watching them all in 3D

My brothers from the east we are all one and we pray to live in peace today and hereafter.

As Nigerians, we have a richness of intelligence but we often fail when we allow our emotions overtake our intellect.

The need to agitate, coerce and coax the leadership of the day, the commoners on the street and the Law enforcement into unsavoury reaction leaves no pleasant aftertaste.

You have lived in peace from Suleja to Surulere. From Jos to Ijesha. Admittedly, there have been isolated cases of unrest and anxiety from host and neighbours alike but each and every ethnicity has gone through the same. Such is the nature of Man but as brothers we disagree yet collaborate and overcome together.

There is no superiority or pride. No master, no slave.

Brace your enterprising selves for a new and positive outlook.

Embrace the diversity that makes us stronger.

Eschew hate speeches and radicalisation.

You are wiser than this.

Wayon, Wayon.

Small, small.

Sheath your swords and adopt peace.

No! We don't want no peace, we want equal rights and justice

What do these chalartans have in common? They are all members of APC, efulefus and political servants of Tinubu. The funniest thing is most doesn't even know the way to their father' s compounds. Why not support the call for a referendum and let's see who will remain. The fact is, they can only make this call from their master's abode in Lagos.

Hian! Another bad news from the zoo. What is wrong with this president?

With the evil APC in power, we are in perilous times. Tufiakwa!

themilanway:


The tittle of the thread says"Nigeria"not"Biafra"so kindly take your hatred and shove it down your throat.

You ain't worth a reply. Go and play with your mates son.

Another story from the pit of hell. Why not " Nigeria mines 44 different minerals in 500 locations". Nonsense

Let the court processes begin please. Tired of all these media trials, we want action

Oo

cramjones:
This is a very difficult op-ed to write haven been identified as an ardent supporter of President Mohammadu Buhari, however, I have sat back to study the trends in terms of the raw data that reflects development indicators for Nigeria and have realized that fixing Nigeria is way beyond PMB at this point, for the most part in the first 4 years of this government, expect nothing but a little improvement but for the most part things getting really worse! Here is why.

1. When oil was over $100/bararell for the most part in GEJ's regime, the per capita income was only $2800 (average annual earning per head as a function of total GDP), meaning Nigeria saw more money than it had ever seen in the past 16 years, but most citizens can't point out to any Dubai-like improvement. Most of that money made people like Dasuki and Deziani billionaires and left over 112 million people living in poverty. Today oil price less than half of it, per capita income is down to $2200 with persistent rampant corruption even under Buhari. I doubt that any tangible thing can be done in four years. In fact, the economy is so bad that Buhari can't even balance the budget without driving Nigeria further into debt by asking the Senate to grant him approval to borrow over $10billion.

2. Today our growth rate is 2% as opposed to an annual rate of 7%. A 2% growth rate with no hope of an oil price increase will only lead to more job losses, less capital development, and an even more indebted nation.

3. Naira has fallen from N160 to N225 to a dollar in less than 2 years. To understand the impact of this better, consider the following:

Mr Musa earns N160,000 monthly 2 years ago, an equivalent of $1000 value at that time. If Mr. Musa is still earning N160,000 it simply means the real value of money he has is $711. This is even more real in Nigeria since almost everything is imported, and the USD is the currency used to purchase this goods. It simply means that more naira would have to be used to purchase the dollar....eventually this would lead to the price of many things going up since importers would have to break even. Take a trip to the Lagos ports, they are almost dead, customs have lost over 70% of their revenue in the last year or so, due to an almost docile activity.

4. With ISIS attacking Paris, Boko Haram has been more emboldened to continue its campaign on soft targets. The geo-political climate of Nigeria has given rise to Biafra, and in general a wave of percieved and real instability. This will only drive away investors - leaving Nigeria in a more gloomy economy mess.

5. For the past 6 months, Nigeria has had little or no policy directions. We have only 1.5 years to go, and campaigns for elections will begin. As campaigns draw closer, most of the money that would be needed for capital development woudl be diverted for elections. Agitations in the South East would continue, Boko Haram attacks on soft targets will continue, youths would remain unemployed due to little or no capital flowing into and within the country. I only see doom.

I love APC, but I am afraid, the nation can only see any TRUE change if you only give it at least a decade, the remaining 3.5 years is definitely NOT going to be better. Brace yourselves for the worst before it gets an inch better.

God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

God that finally grant you some little sense will surely do it for other APC supporters in Jesus name. Just wanna say thank you for this piece. No need living in denials no more.

I thought he said he will run the economy with the proceeds of corruption, el-Rufai was even regaling us with how people are returning their looted funds.6 months down the line, we are talking of borrowing a whopping 2.1 trillion. Where are we really headed to? The government is full of lies and deceit.

By Henry Umoru & Joseph Erunke
ABUJA – – President Muhammadu Buhari, has sent a supplementary appropriation bill for the 2015 fiscal year to the Senate for approval.

The president, in a letter conveying his request, which was read Wednesday, during plenary, by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, asked the Senate to grant his request to borrow the sum of N2.10 trillion to finance the budget.

He explained that the N882 billion loan earlier proposed by the past government to finance the budget had to be raised to N2.10 trillion, due to emerging realities in the country.

The source of the loan, according to the president, would be from both local and foreign.

With this boko haram issue, it seems Buhari has not learnt anything. Instead of engaging the Biafrans and assuage their fears, he is busy listening to bad advisers that wants him to fail. It is now clear that brute force can't solve the problem as people are no more scared to die. True lovers of Nigeria should advise him to engage these guys now before it spirals out of control and if that happens Nigeria will not survive it

Dear Mr Buhari, are we still winning the war?

GudluckIBB:
If Dasuki and clueless jonathan had put defence alocation in proper use, BH would have been a thing of the past by now

But becos jonathan valued his second term more than civilians, they kept playing politics with BH, alwats bringing perpetrators to book.


But thanks be to God, he showed them that his ways are different from the ways of Man and he disgraced them at the polls!

When are you going to receive sense even for once?

Enough of this nonsense. Buhari, time to stop lies and propaganda and face these guys squarely.

You mean no black vagina is beautiful? Our girls need to upgrade Abeg.

Them Isis don arrive? Thank you mr president

doctokwus:

Fool!
France,one of the 5 most developed nations in the world with the most advanced of technologies and just recovering from a terrorist attack about 3months earlier, which caused it to even go on heightened security alert, was still attacked by ISIL,in 3 public gatherings for that matter!
For the present govt for have reduced BH attacks to isolated suicide bombings is a remarkable fit on its own.
Don't 4get BH is now affiliated to ISIL which wud have made it a more dangerous outfit, yet the govt has got them on the run.
If the fisherman had still been in saddle ,with BH getting support from ISIL,by now they wud have taken over your village and your entire household.
I wonder when your type wud have some sense.

You're utterly shameless to have written this trash. Tufiakwa! I never pray to meet your kind in and in death. So shameless.

Big league of what? Of big losers?? See, am Fuc.king angry angry right now. No fuel, no light and nobody is talking. What's happening?

For goodness sake, somebody should tell Mr Lie Mohammed, that he is now the minister of information of the federal republic of Nigeria and no more APC spokeman. Please, he should respect that office and stop insulting people. Enough of that gutter attitude

bashydemy:
The same way your religion permit you to enslave a lady from getting married or have intimate?

My religion?? Lol.....

bashydemy:
Hahaha mind you he is married to just one wife..

Nothing stops him from coming out with 3 additional masquerades after all, his religion allows it.

Just imagine the self hate and hypocrisy. The same people calling on the security forces to kill innocent protesters for agitating for their rights were seen mourning victims of Paris attack. What a world! Tufiakwa

ALISMILE:
yes we asked for it! And u can go die if u re not hapi! If d man is comfortable wit that ur opinion amounts to waste of time!

Die for the way another man chose to live his life? Get real bro. I never voted him and his goons and it is not my cup of tea. Just consigned the way you guys are already wailing
