₦airaland Forum

PassingShot:
Warning: Let no wailer see this as an opportunity to wail uncontrollably. This article is in line with my personal resolve to call the president to order on this forum whenever he missteps. Besides, GEJ was not an option in the last election. So, please keep your sermon of “we told you”, “we warned you”, “Buhari is incompetent” and other bla bla blas to yourself.

Fuel Scarcity: Deafening Silence from the president
One area that our hopes and expectations of good result of Buhari’s presidency were high is in the petroleum industry. Apart from the fact that the president has failed to find a permanent solution to the issue of oil subsidy in the last six months he has presided over the affairs of Nigeria, he has also failed to provide petrol to Nigerians at the regular pump price of N87 and with ease.

To say that the current situation of fuel scarcity has brought untold hardship and resulted in irreplaceable loss of productive time is an understatement. The more worrisome is the fact that the president who doubles as the nation’s minister of petroleum has not deemed it fit and necessary to address the nation (through TV or through one of his media aides) on the hardship citizens are passing through and also use the opportunity to apologize and assuage our anger. This silence is too deafening to be ignored and I hereby condemn it in its entirety, the president’s handling of the fuel scarcity we have at our hands. He should as a matter of national urgency address the nation on what is happening, the government’s efforts to normalize it and above all the long term solution (if not permanent) to the problem. Anything short of this amounts to taking Nigerians for a ride. Pure and simple!

Excessive Overseas Trip
Another area I think the president has erred in recent times is that of gallivanting abroad at every given opportunity. When ministers had not come on board I could understand the need for him to personally attend to those numerous summits and conferences but with the coming of all ministers I’d expected that there will be a drastic reduction in such journeys. The latest one to Iran for Gas Exporting Countries didn’t require his personal presence plus that of Ibe Kachikwu (Min. of state for petroleum) and Tunde Fashola (Min of Power, Works and Housing). He could have let Kachikwu and Fashola attend that one and if he must attend he should have let Ibe Kachikwu stay at home tending to the fuel crisis at hand.

As if the gaffe of the Iran trip was not enough, I read moment ago that the president is due to lead a delegation to Paris on Climate Change! Now, this one is a trip too many in my opinion. We have more pressing issues at home than climate change. Besides, we have a minister of Environment who can lead a Nigerian delegation if we must attend. Why our president must reduce himself to “Ajala travels all over the world” in the face of enormous challenges at the home front beats my imagination.

Dear PMB, you have a chance to prove to Nigerians that we did not make a mistake in electing you president. If you however choose to do as it pleases you even in the face of sufferings of the common man, 2019 is not far away.

May God Bless Nigeria!

YOU ARE A GREAT SECRET WAILER. Lol

kings009:
Black is beautiful! Rep your colour babe...don't mind the shallow minded conformists that sell their PRIDE for slavery.

Poor reading comprehension. She wasn't discriminated at first. She already got the offer. Black is beautiful but she is using "ATTACHMENT" to enhance are naturally thick african hair. This is the company Policy. You dont wear hijab as a muslim teacher or student in a pure christian school. YOU GOT OPTIONS. Let us read unncessary meeting in every thing.

mcjoe007:
bros ahbeg if u want ur biafra contd with d protests and reject all preveledges given to ur pple and stop comparing Nigeria to dose countries.u for don add s.sudan, Bosnia Herzegovina, and Haiti. mtcheew

spare your wailings. He said smaller than biafra. South sudan is bigger than Biafra and others that you mentioned. I think Arewaodua nation is still big sha. Niger state should be thesame size with biafra, yet biafra dwarfs Nigeria as a whole. Biafran will always say that Nigeria is big for nothing.

This is very disgusting. Highly unromantic with sense of uncleaness especial on the men. Dirty apc?.

Xhaka:
Some fools will still tell you muslim are terrorist

No, muslims are never terrorists but christians are. See your brain.

DickDastardly:
Natural. Its all part of growing up. I did worse

i cant Stop imagining your bloody soaked hand. Ghetto life?

MrSmith007:
I just they laugh...

All enemies of Nigeria and her progress will face God's judgment soon

And it starts from buhari.

damton:
It's too late.

The people have made their verdict

We are never God, anything can happen. where is Audu now?. Wait a little while, GODWIN.

Trioxocarbonate:
You now agree that you lots are ipo-bastards?

BTW, you parents still write the zoo's name as its Nationality.

Your Dilector is still in the zoo's jail, who is now the animal?

my "dilector" lol. This girl is very funny. That's a zoo thing, are you?

bonechamberlain:
why would he step down, who instigated the crisis in his country, was it not the west because the dint want him. Assad has always said he would step down if Syrians don't need him again and not some rag rag rebels and terrorist sponsored by America and its allies.

You just sit hear and be barking like islamic terrorist, and blaming the americans why syrian is on fire. You like will say that the igbos that made the northerners to be very poor and are responsible for boko haram in the NE east.

Augustbreak:
They Should Just let this Faleke be.Who knlws.he might be the change we seek in Kogi.He should just choose an Igala deputy.After all he won't rule forever.God has a purpose in everything.If Audu had allowed a strong and healthy canditate.instead of himself,This confusion would have been averted.

igalas will say over their dead body for an okun man to be governor. Okun people are the most oppressed people in kogi state. Ebirra violence nature has help them calm the political domineering of the igalas. Igalas are almost 50% of the population. It would actually be opportunity for Falaeke. I doubt it.

justicejay:
give me a spectacle.
is that an igbo name?

igbo man to be a bus driver for 31yrs, not possible. An igbo man would have resinged 5-10yrs to start his own school or buy his own bus. That what they are known for in all sectors especially in houston, the african americans are boldly emulating that.

Emeskhalifa:
A true hero


I checked the name and behold he is not from the "Our oyel" region

sorry pls, did they say he is a bus driver for 31 yrs?

DONSMITH123:
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, says a nation-wide campaign against indiscipline, African-time syndrome and loss of social norms and values will begin before the end of the year.

Mohammed stated this on Tuesday at a strategic planning meeting he held with the chief executives of agencies and other top management staff of the ministry in Abuja.

“You are welcome to this meeting, which I have convened to present to you the template for the massive, nationwide reorientation campaign to be embarked upon by this ministry very soon.

“Those invited to this meeting have been painstakingly selected because I believe they have the necessary expertise to help drive the campaign.

“However, let me state unequivocally, that everyone in the Ministry of Information and Culture as well as its parastatals, is key to the campaign.

“This is because as the lead ministry, we must first buy into the campaign and own it before we can propagate it.’’

The minister said that the National Orientation Agency (NOA) would spearhead the campaign to ensure positive change of attitude, values and behaviours of Nigerians.

“As I have said on several occasions, the National Orientation Agency will be in the forefront of the campaign, because it is in line with its mandate to positively change attitudes, values and behaviours.

“Make no mistake about it, we need to change the way we do things in Nigeria.

“It is important to let our people know that they cannot continue to do things the same way and expect a different result.

“The impending campaign must take on indiscipline, the lack of respect for time, loss of our time-tested values and generally lead to attitudinal change in such a way that there will be a paradigm shift in the way we do things.

“This is also in line with my vision as Minister of Information and Culture.’’

According to him, the ministry has put enormous work into the presentations that it is about to showcase.

He stated that the presentations should be considered the template for the campaign.

“But feel free to critique them and make suggestions so that the campaign can be ready on time for its launch this year unfailingly,’’ the minister added.

When you are one of the most indicipline man in the country. I hope good will come to this nation but not through a serial liar and propagandist.

NgeneUkwenu:
Then, Let them relocate to Biafra!!!

All you think and cry everyday is igbo and Biafra. Hope you have not caught the disease known as IGBOLYSIS: a diseas of constant fear of the igbo greatness, thereby developing inferiority complex where ever you. One of the biggest symptons is WAILING about the igbos even when something is not related to the igbos. All you think everyday is igbo. To open nairaland igbo, your husband slapped you, igbo. You couldnt graduate from poly igbo. Others are: Your fathers land was bought, most of your neigbourhood houses are own by them, they take over your village and city market, you as indegines are poorer than them as "stragers", they are grabbers and take over from their employers as ahmadu bello said, they scattered every where reaping and taking advantages of their lazy hosts. IGBOLYSIS can kill faster than cancer. Lol

NgeneUkwenu:
See handkerchief!!! Wailer!

Woman, the guy you quoted as right why you are wrong.

DropShot:
Great decision. Votes were recorded for parties and not candidates. Beside, it's a joint ticket of a governorship candidate and his/her deputy. PDP will be disappointed but INEC gets this one right.

did you vote because of Buhari or because apc. Conscience is an open wound, only the truth will heal it. Remember that you said even if you god and saviour buhari jump into any post you will vote for him. The candidate comes before the party. I hope you will not vote for Gej you most hated and corrupt pred according to you if he suddenly contest on the platform of apc.

CACAWA:
[size=18pt]Has anyone noticed that many states in Nigeria are bigger than all the South East states combined (Abia, Anambra,Ebonyi,Enugu,Imo)? [/size]

yes far bigger than them in land size but this igbo state states are far more populated, richer, educated than those states. Eg Boronu, niger and kwara states, each of them are all twice the size of SE states but non are greater than any state in the east. Anambra population is bigger than kwara Niger or even Boronu. This is why SE regards most of nigerian states as big for nothing. Then think that it took nigerian govt almost 3yrs to bring the war to an end will make any normal man to praise the biafrans and call nigerian army big for nothing. The war wasnt won by military strength but by breaking intl law of war and issue of food supply. Igbos are greater than other tribes. It is the second, 3rd, 4th most densly populated place after lagos which is the first and nigerias smallest state.

Judas2013:
Yahweh will help Nigerians. About time he showed he is a god. Lets calculate the amount of tithes and offering he has collected so far. That's enough for 2000 years of divine security right? Unless he scammed us

He is not a god but He is God.

free2ryhme:
this guy leaves, he is not coming back

i dont believe in any $2 bil allegation trash. Moreover i see since 2007. Lieing, propaganda and unnecessary exeggeration are the grave of this govt. Every fools will always believe all this trash. Nigerians are the end loosers of this fake info. There is certainly corruption in all sectors. Look at TSA now under buhari is been investigated by the senate.Who will investigate buhari with all transpired for almost 6 months of single handedly ditching out money.

OnankpaBa:
truly, no peace for the wicked.


Jonathan you see yourself?

Gej is rocking fine. If anything happens to joe now, Nigeria will SCATTER. Lol. Buhari the magician should fix the economy.

ril19:
lol @ TOZO

truly foolishly? Stop behaving like this.

LordCenturion:
Biafra,nah only mouth them get and their usual drug busines...naija don becom a joke ,see this one like a worm/spaghetti/snake threaten nigeria,,thank GOD that east is part of nigeria,so u wil just start burning from there,i no blame u,but lord lugard and greedy british....LONG LIVE SOUTH WEST,may GOD continue to bless that land.

The weakest zone that is not ready to stand on their own and cry the highest if biafra say they are no longer interested.

MrBasketball:
Ode, I have said mine and you can't change it.

mr confused man, why are you cursing. Angry or Just confused?

permsec:
Nice one. But the man in the middle seems confused judging by his looks.

sit down there and be looking at the man in the middle who is confused while poverty of change is scattering your life. Lol

TonyeBarcanista:
The Death of a governorship candidate does not form basis for a cancelling of election. The argument of these men is invalide considering that the candidate has a running mate that is prepared in case of any eventualities(such as this). James Faleke will naturally step up while APC nominates a new Deputy.

Eyaah, men of little iQ, you dont know anything though thats is your level of reasoning. Read the op's submissions carefully this time and get rid of your IGNORANCE.

Toosure70:
We voted for party not Audu.

your likes are the problem we have with Nigeria. Drug addicts, well known corrupt men, killers of your family are higly wellcome to contest and win you vote as long as they are apc. See your life with your CHANGE. Lol

HrmOlolade:
I know it's them cursed tribe. You left your erosion ravaged cursed land to South west to commit crime. By the time we are through with you criminals redhead you will have no other option than to flee like the coward ojukwu did. Useless fl*thead swines

Can you imagine that my brother, igbos allways in almost all kidnapping cases while the yorubas rules in almost all armed robbry and ritual cases.WHY? Kidnapping is very bad but Armed robbry is the worst. Igbos should stop this kidnapping madness. Anybody found should serve atleast 25-40yrs while SW that is breeding ritual killers and extreme high case of armed robbers should sensitise their young ones to work hard instead of been lazy. It is alarming the rate that Education enrollment has fallen with the statistics from minstry of Educ. They should look into it because they are slidding to 3rd out of the 6 zones in terms of educational attainmen, struggling now with SS.

SW should work on their young people. This is getting out of hand. Approximately 35% of their 16-25 are doing stuff like this, with many of them in eiya/aiya cult. Many are lazy doing nothing. Is high time they learn from abakaliki igbo road sellers who toiled day and nite to eke out a living. They have been mocked by both yorubas and their igbo brothers but this guys are making it: some sponsoring their education in many higher sch in lag, some taking up some little house project in their village, some raising their siblings in some low income private sch etc. I met one humble Ebonyi boy that is planning to enter Lasu next yr to study Law. He started life as a hawker. He planned to put a bus on the road to be generating income while in sch and skeletally run his biz to still be independent. This is a true story and he is just 24 yrs. SW should do something asap

Trioxocarbonate:
Ipo-bastard.

Your Dilector is still in the zoo's jail, what are y'all doing about it?

nawaahoo, so nigerians now do agree with ipob that this country is actually a zoo. Stop accepting your zoological status oh zoo dwellers.

moyinoluwabun:
as ur advise is so sweet and good, don't forget millions of degree holders are roaming the street.

that doesnt stop you from aspiring for the higher one so that tomorrow, you will not be crying descrimination. I rejected to study medicine in a particular state university because i would remained inferior to my collegues in the University of Nigeria. I later opted for another course in my dream UNN. Though with other degrees, i only university i would like to attend here in nigeria is UI.

Oooh, i wish you can invite jesus consciously into your life, ask him to help you through this. I am not talking about religious jesus that doesnt make any meaning but Relational Jesus you can have authetic relationship with. You would soon start seeing this in a different light. God help.
