Take a good look at the young man in the first picture, look at the shop where he earns a living, a petty trader selling second hand spare parts, do you expect a scavenger to have adequate education?
This Biafra madness is fuelled by urchins who are poorly educated and have nothing to show for their hussle, how will such a person care about what he stands to lose? he that is down fears no fall, the picture is clearer now.

to remind you life, this aba and the people that your so called most educated state of ekiti is bringing university unemployed graduate/ youth to learn various trade: shoe making, suite/dress making, spares moulding, stove and kitchen utensils etc didnt you read about it nigeria dailies , even here in nairaland? It has now become very obvious that igbos are pillars of nigeri and SW allways WAIL loundest as ever hearing that igbos want to leave. See your life.

Zico5:
Who cares in as much it does not go beyond ur erosion laden desert. We re collectively tired of any association with Igbo. Let's everyone goes back to his/her origin. Who will lose at the end, Igbo cos they re scattered all over the country. It will be a thing of joy if Lagos is now a man land cos u cannot claim ur biafra and at the same time want Lagos. It sweet me die to see this revolution from Igbo. But anything out of 5 south east state will be a total war which may wipe them out of existence. Nigeria is waiting anxiously. Thanks for this news cos Lagos doesn't know that anything is happening in Aba.

little coward, are you a biafran. You are crying and wailing more them. Stop sounding as if you cant do without them. Hope that your own people will be better of.

A man that became far greater in glory in the midst of "failure". My ambition is not worth the blood of any man- 21st century anti terror quote and a quote that preserved peace/lives of nigeria. Happy birthday a good man with a heart of gold though surronded by evil men. Gentlest and most humble man. Rarely open his mouth attack his opponent. My love to you and to the talkative sis pashe your lovely wife. Happy birthday Sir.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/we-can-no-longer-pay-n18000-minimum-wage-govs-cry-out/

ABUJA – Thirty-six States Governors have said that they can no longer pay the N18,000 minimum wage to workers owing to the poor state of the economy.



Rising from a crucial meeting on that ended at the early hours of Thursday at the Old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja under the umbrella of Nigerian Governors Forum, NGF, the governors said that the dwindling prices of oil had drastically affected their States’ income.

Specifically, they said that the burden of the wage was lighter when oil sold at $126 as against the current $41 per barrel.

They therefore sought to have audience with President Muhammadu Buhari on the economy, resolving that the only way out of the quagmire was to diversify the economy to agriculture and mining.

Reading the communique issued at the end of the meeting, the Chairman of the Forum and governor of Zamfara state, Abdulaziz Yari hinted that the Forum also backed the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) over the N2.1trillion sanction on MTN.

According to him, the governors agreed that the fine must be paid in full.

He said that they received briefing from the Acting Executive Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NCC, Professor Umar Dambata who explained the matter to them.

He said: “We resolved that we must look at ways to enhance revenue generation and at the same time look at ways to cut our overhead costs more especially the political office holders’ salaries and other overhead expenses.

“The situation is no longer the same when we were asked to pay N18,000 minimum wage, when oil price was $126 (per barrel) and continued paying N18,000 minimum wage when the oil is $41 and the source of government expenditure is from oil, and we have not seen prospects in the oil industry in the near future.

“We will diversify our economy in the area of agriculture and mining. But at the same time, we should understand our situation where some of us (states) today are taking N100million take home (monthly allocation) and then have salaries in particular of over N2billion to pay.

“We therefore agreed here to take this suggestion to NEC in our meeting tomorrow (Thursday) so that we can be able to find ways to tackle this problem.

oil price started droping around may 2014 but NOI was able to handle it then. When she spoke of soveing wealth fund, the governors then attacked her esp oshiomhole and amechi. Until dec, the price of oil was stil 40+-$50+ yet this was going fine. What went wrong apc. Allways wailing. Ngozi would have handle this better. Upon all the propoganda of secretly returned billions of stolen funds and other recovered, they are still wailing. Increase the workers salary biko.

to them, to hell with your merit. They preferred quota or according to the number of your LGA. In this, southern Nigeria looses while the north rejoice. Let Okojie not be mute on this. Change against the brightest.

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

Honestly, you reminded me of a snake. You are very dishonest man in all most all your views.

mazeltov:
tell 'em - biafra will be worst than sudan!! They should forget about dredging of river Niger, it's not gonna work.

yet you wont allow them to go. Afriaca's most stable economy is still THE LAND LOCKED BOTSWANA. Shame! Lol. Stronger currency than Nigeria, most political stable in africa. Google now. You that have all sea ports, who are the people controlling its biz. Lol. Dont be mentally lazy, your greatness is in your people and not in the sea port. I know that you have a secret envy for the igbos. GODWIN!

size40:
Good development. This is the more reason why I asked my south-south people to forget this very bitter politics they are now copying from the Igbos. GEJ, our son lost an election for sure. But that does not stop the rest of us from moving on or joining the party in power to move our various states and region forward. Politics in Nigeria is give and take. U can't take when u have not given anything just d way the Igbos are doing in this current dispensation. Supporting the Igbos politically or otherwise will ruin our political future in Nigeria. Let's continue to build bridge across board for a better Nigeria. If we take a close look at today's Nigeria, the south-south region is far more considered to be politically relevant than the south east because of their one sided politics filled with hate, bitterness for other Nigerians. If I may ask, how can a people that behaves and act this way be trusted. With power? Today the Igbos are shouting Biafra Biafra. Protesting on our soil, disturbing business activities in many south-south states making it look as if our zone is not safe for willing investors. Instead of taking such protest to Lagos and Abuja where their Nnamdi kanu was arrested and taken to Abuja. Instead they protesting in port Harcourt, Bayelsa, Delta, Akwa Ibom etc. This was exactly the same they did during the civil war. B4 Nigerian troops got to our areas, the Biafrans troops were already on ground killing, raping, burning houses and committing all manners of crime with d hope they will win the war to take over our region.

go and sit down, you can never be a SS person. Mention a single SS man that ownes an oil well in the nation. 84% alone is just to the hausas. 13% derivates that SS is is enjoying was fought for the ss by a se man, Ekwueme, this was vehemently opposed by by that your nigerians you are clamouring for. The SS got their strongest support majorly from SE and at thesame time, it was opposed by other zones in the country. You can never be a SS man and still believe in nigeria. Moreover, the SS you are talking about today is made up diverse ethnic groups with the IGBOS AND IJAWS the majority. Lol. There are few ethnic groups that are not sure of where they belong: benin and other smaller ethnics, itshekiri, isoko, urhobo etc will decide where they will be.

disloman:
You are only mentioning Biafra.I doubt it if you know what that mean.Go and study what isbiafra and what it entails.You will be shocked.A country within a country?You guys will be landlocked.How will you survive?

the wealth of any nation is her people. African most successful economy, most politcal stable, one of the strongest currency etc still remains the landlocked BOTSWANA. Goggle and read about Botswana lol. Japan, taiwan etc without any thing. Believe in God and dont trust in him. Is not landlocked by WISDOM/INGUINITY WITHIN. You know that they are landlocked but you cant do without them.

Ioannes:
the only blunder they committed was to resurrect the Biafra ghost after Jonathan lost.

bad losers.

they have shown other Nigerians that they can't be trusted with power and they may have to wait another hundred years for a shot at the presidency.

oooh why is it that all other tribes that has produced the presidency in Nigeria are poorer than igbo that hasnt. They are economically better off. What?

ViNeHaNds:
We should be greatful for the ban of that small generator, why? Because The environmental toxicity due to oily fumes emitted by this little machine is very deadly, that i can honestly tell you if you have had it fumes always in your environment and obviously have been breathing it, meehn, you have been seating on a long thing because you have been initiating a process to getting your lungs and hearts in a bad unfixable health conditions, your condition will surely be worst than a chain smoker( whom is liable to die young). Someone had to safe us from ourselves.

Another accomplist on this serious environment pollution and health hazard threat common in our environment is the popular tricycle(keke napep), honestly should get the ban too.

Reason being that the combustion system of this two machines are although economical due to its top fuel efficient utilization ability, i mean it saves fuel in long working hours, but lets mind our health more and embrace this bans.

Looking at the available option in the market there are other brands offering almost same fuel utilization efficiency and extremely low prices and good quality built engines to reducing the health hazard in our environments, you can check this brands to confirm.
The small businesses can embrace this other options.
I have been victim to the unheathy voltage supply of this "i better pass my neighbour" generator, its burnt a few of my phone chargers, which gets me wondering why it chooses to blow up charges and some other home appliances but wont power a refrigerator, infact, appliances like a barber clipper will reciprocate the sound emitted by this generator (which travels in its unheathy voltage).

LETS BE GRATEFUL TO THIS BAN, ITS A NICE ONE AND SHOULD BE COMMENDED, SAY NO TO JUNK APPLIANCES POLLUTING OUR ENVIRONMENTS, CAUSING US GREAT HEALTH IMPLICATIONS, WE DESERVE BETTER WITH OUR HARD EARN MONEY.

Whats the point making all the money when you wont live to enjoy the fruits of your labour, Thank you Mr president for safing us from ourselves.

#remain bless

__VINEHANDS__

Sorry, the pollution of cars, big industrial pollution, gas flaring etc are worst than banning small generators. The solution is for the govt to provide enough power and small generator will go extinct. Let him ban other grades of generators also which also dangerous to health, then it will not been seen as targeting the poor and killing poor buisnesses. Dont just justify this move when you know that the govt got it all wrong. What if there is a mass local production in the country, will the govt stop the local industry producing it or stop people buying it from the market .

FREEEMANAN:


Smh....


When they import too much gen, Nigerians complain that the politicians deliberately deprive us of power supply so their friends and relatives who imports Gen would sell...

Now see the new malady.... Does Buhari hate Small businesses? Issapity..... No wonder these politicians will continue to zap the economy and starve the people... They know we have misplaced priorities and confusion inherent our beingness....


Still smh

got it wrong boy, fix the power and naturally ban generator, whether big ones or small. The op is right.

madridguy:
DASUKI PROVIDE OUR ARMS OR YOU REFUND BACK OUR MONEY. NO TIME FOR STORY.

Do i blame but only pray that you will enter a situation where you are truly innocent but people will spread strong unfounded rumour, then you will appreciate the state dasuki is now. We heard the govt side and now his side. I strongly believe that the govt is controlled by spirit of lies, deceit and hypocrisy. They will not prosper untill they deal with this three MONSTER. Lets see them in the court, later, hope to get to the truth.

voltron:
This is what is called Guerrilla ware-fare and in Guerrilla Warfare, the Army wishes they have the upper hand. It is in Civilian Population where the Army cannot act as a surgeons scalpel, peeling away sections they are interested in without harming the rest of the body. In this sort of environment, the terrorists always have the upper hand because with very few numbers, they can exact maximum fatal damage. The Army cannot do so unless they engage them on the war-fields where they can maximize their military might.

but state of israel remains incharge without the whole islamic mess within and surronding them like bees. God can. GODWIN.

Amack:
The GSM market is mostly occupied by Igbos. May God save us all. Amen

not true though, i have been there, but buyers are allmost hausas from other states.

palladin:
I still believe the NA have the upper hand.

which power do they have? Generator power or baba go slow power? Until we recognises Gods power over confidence in buhari rants of eliminating boko haram under 2wks of in office, things will remain thesame. I do visit this market to buy stuff. Rip to the innocent ones.

Coolabbie:
If the only option available is biafra, then I will rather be in Nigeria.
You should know what the ibos are capable of, we are neighbours.
No way will I be in a country filled with ndito unenge, they will wipe us out.
Until the Ibibios advocate for their own country separate from others, I will continuously shout one Nigeria.

you see why i told you that you can never be ibibio except you are cursed, but you are not. The people that is already wiping ibibios are people that made it in such a way that no single person of ibibio owns even 0% oil well found in her land. The igbos will never take ibibio's wealth by force but will earn it. I read a report 2yrs ago by a journalist in akwaibom state to akpabio that the igbos are controlling all major biz in the state with exception of timber market. You can google it. They earned it not by crooks. I know that igbos are hated by their domineering spirit and taking the advantage of their host "laziness" or lack of foresight but can keep them off from hussling. This is not akwaibom but in every state.

Ndlistic:
The Federal Government has banned the importation of small generators popularly called 'I pass my neighbour,' used by low-income Nigerians.
Controller, Federation Operations Unit Zone A, Lagos of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Mr Madugu Sanni Jubrin, disclosed this in Lagos while speaking with newsmen.


Sanni also said that the command seized 4,733 goods worth N52 million and arrested some suspected smugglers since he assumed duties one week ago.
He said the seizures were made possible through intelligence gathering and other measures put in place by the unit with a view to ensuring that the supply chains of smugglers were fully blocked.


Conducting journalists round the seized items which included 239 bales of used clothing valued at N10 million, 1,120 cartons units of the small generators valued at N13.4 million, among others, Madugu said the unit would not relent in its efforts in ensuring that prohibited items are impounded and those involved in its importation prosecuted.
“The smaller generators have been banned by the Federal Government because it is causing air pollution and destruction of our lungs and breathing system. That is why they have banned it but people are still interested in smuggling them in, that is why we intercepted them.


“If you go to the market, you still see them because people have imported them before the ban. So it is the leftover they had before the ban that they are selling because the law did not backdate the ban and it is not an absolute prohibition.
“It is prohibition by trade which means you cannot bring it in large quantity and sell to the public. That is the type of prohibition we have on this but if you buy one piece, Customs will not seize it.


“We will not relent in our efforts. When we see any prohibited item, we will seize, arrest the people and we will allow the law court to take decision on prosecuting them. So it is better for them to stop smuggling than to continue when they know Customs will catch up with them,” he said.

donTbone:


Metuh said that the PDP had watch with keen interest some disturbing developments in recent times, particularly, disagreement between the National Assembly and the Federal Executive on controversies surrounding the handling of TSA.

Being Old doesn't mean you shall be wise. PDP, Keep looking and let APC keep gaining grounds.
That's what Jona kuku did last!

What goes around..comes around!

what again is this one saying? Meaningless!

Gbawe:
Good question one would have to put to the GEJ government that signed the original deal with SystemSpecs. The TSA itself is a good idea and this is why the Buhari government decided to resurrect and use it.



Now it is clear, according to official statement of the FG through its minister of information, it is members of the GEJ government that negotiated the 1% fee. This clears up the controversy because it shows there is no wrongdoing on the path of the Buhari government who can only continue with the scheme, if it wants to derive the obvious benefit Remita provides, until it can review the terms of the contract or possibly cancel without heavy financial penalty.

It is important to note that Remita is a collection system and those usually attract a transaction fee based on the amount involved. The idea of royalty or maintenance fee would therefore not appeal to SystemSpecs (the owner of Remita) since the amount collected on behalf of clients may vary considerably.

i pity your life and that of you god buhari. You just wanted to blame it on gej. Buhari should have reworked every thing as usuall, after all to him, anything gej is corruption. Fraud!

porshuch:
I remembered the day my father told me the story about Biafra, when he ended the story, I looked into his eyes and told him that the war hero was Philip Effiong

so biafra is real and alive? Why is it that people believe it is dead. So "there was a country". Effiong a ss man was a biafra?

Coolabbie:
We Ibibios don't run away, it has never been in our gene unlike some.

@Post, Happy birthday Sir.
Even though they left everything for you, You used wisdom to come out victorious.
You surrendered to one Nigeria and we your descendants shall remain in that Nigeria.

you dont sound ibibion and ibibio blood can never run in your cowardly words: your decendants shall ever remain in one nigeria. This is a country that pauperise ibibio to the extent that the ibibios are taking as house helps and cooks. 80% of thesame oil well in your background are been controlled by people who travelled more than 1500km from the north. Do only thing you gain is been humiliated. Imagine an hausa man mocking ibibio nation that their daughters are good as house girls. Thank God, akpabio said that he is changing that. You want me to be that you are an ibibio lady? Na lie.No ibibio person would want to remain in nigeria. Ekwueme and nwabueze were the duo that spearheaded 6 zonal structure of today where SS is having a voice, he fought for 50% derivates which the north fought back and after everything, he won 13% not for the SE but SS who got the major deposit. How about the recent conf where it was SE a major support for 25% derivative yet thesame naija shout down your parents. Today with all your huge resources, you are still backward to the extend of your love 4 nigeria. Biafra believe in resource control and federating unit, why must a right thinking ibibio man be comfortable in a nation where he fought to be giving 13% of their wealth and 80% of the oil wells are the hands of people that enslaves them. You cant be real ibibio

GspotAngela:
Philip Effiong is the real civil war hero on the biafran side. He didnt run away, he stood his ground and surrendered because he knew the odds were stacked against the biafrans.

However, ojukwu, the initatior of the war, who once boasted that he would fight till the last drop of his blood, eventually ran away to Abidjan after commandeering a plane that was meant to airlift sick biafran children.

Alhaji Shehu Shagari later granted ojukwu amnesty in 1982. In 1983, ojukwu contested in the Senatorial election, he also contested in the 2003 & 2007 presidential elections and he lost woefully on all occasions.

It is highly preposterous that a man who fought against Nigeria, later came back to Nigeria and participated at various elections in the same country that he fought against.

hmmm! So you are now confirming Chinua Achebe's "THERE WAS A COUNTRYA." Some people and tribes were crying and wailing when this book was first released that there wasnt any country. An almost 3 yrs old country that produced two presidents. Ojukwu actually contested the presidency in other to brake what this young generation of biafra calls Zoo. SS vp and pred. Efik/ibibio biafrans?

omenka:
Just watch this thread.

Those PDP virmins that were celebrating the bombing yesterday would come in here and shout "propaganda", especially the redundant IPOD scoundrels.

They would rather believe it when Shekau says he's conquered the whole of Nigeria than believe a video showing the gains of the Nigerian Army.

That thread ran over 8pages because they all descended on it w¤nking like some degenerate p¤rnstars in celebration of the "success" of those killers. PDP and her supporters, as I always say, are the greatest curse upon this nation.

May God continue to answer the prayers of the good people of Nigeria and grant our Khaki boys the wisdom and courage to rid this country of these marauding bloodthirsty sons of Baal. And if some people from a particular part of the country sympathise with the course of the terrorists so much so the feel very unhappy over news like this, then they may as well join them in Paradise where there is ample supply of virgins rather than use their hands to fix their conji.

God bless Nigeria.

amen. I think if you have been praying like this during Gej time, things wouldnt have been so bad now. Thank God you have become now a prayer warrior with all kinds spiritual warfare since pmb won. You are even recruiting prayer warriors here in nairaland. But we need people more wiser than you that will always be zealous to pray whether pmb or gej, instead of allowing your prayer anointing during gej's time to be in slumber. Some people may be like "SEE THIS HYPOCRITE". God bless and protect our army.
