It clearly shows who and who are the constituents of these militants. Just look at their demands..

Excellent writeup OP.

Our ladies will still turn deaf ear to OP's article saying he wrote thrash because he just unveiled their useless attitudes online. The ones that annoys me most are the ones u will tell that "Oh you are beautiful" and their response will be like "K",! Haba. Very annoying response.

If the oil in the Niger Delta were to be in your region, would u have argued or allowed Nigeria the be one today?
Btw, wot happened to cocoa in ur region, hv u guys cut them all n thrown them inside the lagoon?

I am not in support of any region been marginalised or left out of political appointment but let's remind ourselves, why fighting for this under this current administration, why can't they do such during GEJ's regime.

About cocoa, remember Nigeria was dependent on cocoa for it's basic income and the SW/other region involved never crippled the economy through destroying cocoa. Well it's a wake up call for every regions if the FG can allow true federalism to develop their resources to boost her IGP.

hackactigist:
u dey ask because ur entire pamily depends on oil or because u r too lazy to diversify ur brain from our oil!!!!!!

The question is not directed to u, so pls keep off.

Excellent explanation.

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), says contractors will resume work on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway next week.

Fashola, who spoke at the inaugural Buharimeter Town Hall meeting in Abuja on Thursday, said contractors had abandoned several projects because the last administration owed them money.

The former governor of Lagos State said even though the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration had yet to release funds to the contractors, they were willing to return to site because they trusted the integrity of the new government.

Fashola stated, “In 2014, we spent N45bn on roads for the whole country and we spent N18bn on roads in 2015. Now, the fallout of meetings with our contractors generally is that they have not been paid for three years but budgets were made for the last three years.

“We have been having meetings with some contractors on the basis of our credibility, our collective integrity, saying to them go back to site.

“Our contractors will go back to site on Monday next week; they have told me they will return to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

“They have not been paid but that is what change means, that this government is credible and believable. If we say we will pay, we will pay. And this is what you will see in places like Iheala and a few other places where we are intervening but what is important now is that we have met with all our contractors and identified contracts that have survived the budget, we have approved those contracts for funding and in the next few days to weeks, the disbursement will start for many of the roads.”

Fashola, however, lamented that the activities of the Niger Delta Avengers were seriously affecting power generation due to the vandalism of oil and gas installations.

He said for Nigeria to be better, citizens must protect government installations like it was done in other countries, stating that the newly constructed railway was already being vandalised.

“The Minister of Transportation (Rotimi Amaechi) just told me that vandals were removing nuts and rails for railway,” Fashola said.

Also speaking, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, said several states had made land available for cattle ranching.

Ogbeh said the cattle ranching programme would start soon, adding that the move would improve animal farming across the country.

He explained that milk production was very low in Nigerian livestock because cows were often dehydrated after walking long distances across the country and not getting enough water and quality grass, noting that with the ranching programme, things would improve.

The minister added, “We want to end the cattle grazing ‘wahala’ between herdsmen and farmers. We have 45 million hectares of land and there is no reason why there should be any fight over where grass is grown, but ladies and gentlemen, grass is not just grass. If the grass does not have up to 15 per cent protein, amino acids and trace elements, it is not good for even a cow to eat, and make no mistakes, the food that cows eat passes unto human beings through meat and milk.

“So, if you give them high quality grass and water, when you eat beef, you are eating good quality food. If not, you’re eating chaff. Finally, when the cows march from Maiduguri to Lagos, the distance is too long. So, the cows in Nigeria have the lowest yield of milk in the world, one litre per day, four months per lactation, because the cows have no access to water.”

Ogbeh said the Federal Government was already having talks with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps to train rangers that would fight cattle rustlers and monitor ranches.

“Banditry, rustling and attacks on farmers are increasing. We are looking at asking a unit of the civil defence to train what we are going to call farm rangers to protect investment in livestock and heavy investments in agriculture. We do not intend to invite you to invest in a ranch and come one day to hear that all your cattle were taken away by rustlers in the middle of the night,” the minister stated.

The Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, assured Nigerians that the Buhari-led administration would not renege on its promises.

He admitted that he might have made too many promises during the build-up to the last election after he was told by the Director of Centre for Democracy and Development, Idayat Hassan, that the All Progressives Congress made 221 promises during the campaign.

Other ministers present were the Minister of Environment, Amina Mohammed, and the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma.

Jombojombo:
Go n sleep u little boy!

Hw do u feel when BH strike during GEJ tenure?

I wasn't talking to u, so mind your business.

bisiswag:
Imagine dz sponsored evil touts. Their states get so much allocation what have they done with them? Ibori had a refinery @ SA dat was later seized. Their own blood (so called governors) have cheated them and now they transferring the aggression on everyone. For those of you supporting them y'all stupi*d. The bitter truth remains those ND pple r daft,wicked n selfish. GEJ ur own led the most corrupt govt ever and we never heard of u riffraf*fs.

This is the bitter truth

Mekus68:
Lolz. Boys are not smiling.

Where are those ZOMBIES that keep saying the military will get them, nuke them, do this and that to them.
See as the NDA are nuking the Zombie economy before ur very eyes.
Fulani Zombies and Ofe mmanu Zombies everywhere on nairaland claiming what they can't do.

Bros, are u really happy that the economy is grounded and also no light for several weeks now?

This doesn't make sense again. Everyday they keep blowing. It is well.

There are some risk that is worth taking. Pls OP u have started this journey and it will be ridiculous to terminate your effort now. Go fo it. Nigeria at the moment doesn't worth it.

This is now out of hands. No matter what, FG will still bow to true federalism. Meanwhile everyday we kip hearing new grps emanating from Niger Delta. Still waiting for Niger Delta Undertaker (NDU)

Let's see how it goes. Keeping our finger crossed

Nice development.

What of first bank?

Lol. But with these dis satisfactory comments from customers, hope glo marketing and technical departments are reading what the social media view about them. Anyway am using glo and it's still okay to me.

Yet they seriously need to upgrade their network. This is not a good thing to the image of the company.

I have said this several times that launching missile can be achieved by a hovering tornado aircraft or submarine on the sea. Even using a grenade/missile machine, whatsoever will not travel that distance has decried by the terrorists.

Like ireneony said, the cost of missile is expensive. Where will they get such except if they are sponsored by rich and external force.

ronald4lif:
Haha, its like we are both in similar situation as I'm presently at work too. Just finished and handing over to my next colleagues and I've to walk for like 10mins to the tube station to catch a train and then bus home. A journey that will take me about an hour but should have been less if I were driving but couldn't coz the parking charges in central city where I work is half my daily paycheck, so would better walk home than stress all day only to give 50% of my wages to the tax man. It's past midnight and I do this 6days a week and after I offset all my monthly bills I end up with 'pittance' as my savings isn't in concomitant with the stress. It's not easy.

You know what I've said to myself is I wish securing visas was easy I'd have volunteered to sponsor the visa application of any friend who repeatedly ask me for money, to come and let's hustle and see how easy it is to make money. But the embassies requirements aren't helping in this regard.

In Naija, cars aren't just a need but a luxury and a way to show off as opposed to it being a necessity in the West. Life without one is unimaginable and it cost nothing to buy one. The cost to ship/clear a car to Nigeria is equal or more than buying one here but once you have one they think you don hammer.

I have many friends that their incessant demands of money anytime I try to keep in touch has made me withdrawn and kinda living in seclusion. Each time I chat them up is always about one monetary demands or another. I just find it really sad that I can't relate with my old time buddies like we used to without having to experience money pleas all the time.

Honestly it's not easy paying tax, keeping yourself yet satisfies your family financial demands let alone friends. No wonder most of the abroad based Nigerians are prudent in spending.

Lenny5k:
Your post is just a sad Stereotype of Nigerians Living Abroad! I pride myself to be a Nigerian that has been to many Countries abroad and see how our people Live. I live abroad and visit home as much as I can and I can tell you that the very few Incident you mentioned is not a true picture of how we Nigerians in the Diaspora are. It is just not true... I am surprised people still think like this. On many Facebook Forums people home hold their own against us abroad and many even say they are better than those abroad.. Nobody feels inferior or says any of these things as most sees themselves as equals. So ur pist is just not true

Thanks a lot. Everybody is entitled to their opinion.

heavykenny:
bro. everything u stated is exactly what kemi olounloyo is doing on Twitter. she was reported back to Nigeria nd now the pride is just too much.

Have heard series of disturbing reports about this lady. Na waoo

vanbonattel:
Na lie.
Goodluck as VP paddled himself into the creeks and sat down with Tompolo and Ateke and all the rest of them and secured the amnesty. Tell Osinbajo to go and negotiate with BH at Sambisa

Lol he satisfied their selfish demands and later became the greatest ineffectual buffoon president of all time.

To be candid, Yemi Osinbajo is the best and most active Vice president Nigeria has ever had. Weldone sir

Vickyydera:
Am doing great. you no dey chat for whatsapp.

I am so busy nowadays. No vex abeg.

Charles4075:
Who dash her USA/Sweden.. If you don't like the thread or feel the thread is biased, kindly express your opinions politely same way that ronald4lif guy did. That dude is matured mehn, not someone with fat lips saying ''Arrant Nonsense coming from an Arrant Idiot''. Mtcheeeewww

No mind the yeye madame. Perhaps she dey contonou dey claim USA.

Op u know that the economy is hard and to make ends meet is very difficult lately. Even the listed points sef, rich guys use it to justify their inability to have girlfriend because of recent, ladies are nothing but scavengers, predators and chronic parasites.

abike12:
LOL! Not everyone does this but I was very weak when someone that graduated from Unilag just about 5 years ago and won visa lotto called me and I couldn't understand her accent. In general, once you stay in Nigeria up to 15 years that accent can never leave you.

Lol lobatan! Their type common wella

jordinsparkles:
Well you maybe right but......not all of them behave like that. I have friends here in Nigeria who were born and brought up in Canada and when they all came to Nigeria, they behaved like normal Nigerians. In fact, the way they eat fufu ehnn you will begin to wonder.

Lol those ones are confirmed "Omo onile"

Joygalore:
Arrant nonsense

Well madam, seems you reside in USA/Sweden, that's nice but some Nigerians returning from abroad do portray this act.
