I always knew you were the one posting this nonsense and you just confirmed it.

The Nigerian Red Cross
yesterday commenced the
evacuation of flood victims to
the 28 Internally Displaced
Persons (IDP) camps in the eight
local government areas of
Anambra State affected by this
year’s flood.
The IDPs, which had been
equipped with all the essential
facilities, including water, tents,
toilet facilities, mattresses and
blankets, are located in
Anambra East, which has six
camps, Awka North (3),
Ayamelum (6), Ekwusigo (2),
Ogbaru (3), Onitsha North (4),
Onitsha South (2) and Ihiala (2).
Information reaching New
Telegraph has it that Red Cross
got involved in the exercise
following reluctance of most by
the victims to vacate their
flooded homes. According to
reports last week, water
hyacinth was hindering efforts
to evacuate the flood victims in
the state to safer areas.
Speaking at a capacity building
programme for volunteers of the
organisation involved in the
evacuation process in Awka, the
vice chairman of the Anambra
State chapter of the Nigerian
Red Cross, Professor Peter
Katchy said that the camps had
been fully prepared to receive
the flood victims.
He said though some of the flood
victims were reluctant to leave
their flooded homes, the
volunteers had been trained to
counsel them by reminding
them that it would be in their
best interest to relocate until the
flood recedes

The earlier you stopped pasting links from paid media the better for you. I took a raw video, am not saying that anyone corresponds for me. If anyone is in doubt, visit IMO State with a clear conscience and see if you will not place a curse on Abagworo and Rochas.

ULSHERLAN:
If it is not too late, how about you moving to an area with a good drainage channel to avoid future recurrence of this. Im sure the whole Imo state can't be lillike this

Rochas destroyed the erosion channels more reason for this. I took a video last time I came to IMO state. I will share it soon.

timeman:
It would be foolish for anyone to bring back biafra - Ojukwu(ex president, biafra, converted citizen of Nigeria).
Kiss the truth!

If it is foolish, we will be more foolish. It is quite funny that those who preach one Nigeria are those who support the oppression of others. Don't ask me what I mean by oppression, take a look at his appointments and capital project break down by region.

It is foolishness for anyone not to want Biafra.

Sorry toddlers, no free lessons today, more so to individuals who can't reason without been ethno-religiously controlled.

dafuturis:
He is not far from the truth.

If PDP had given us just Power
or just an enviable transport system
or just security of lives and property
or strong institutions that could function on their own without executive or legislative or judicial interference
or a world class educational system
or ............................................ or even a United Nigeria

but No
instead They gave us exact opposites of the above with a very robust imaginary largest economy in Africa that was evident only on NOI papers.

Buhari is in power. Instead of the blame game, let him give us any of the above rather he choose to lead us into recession. You know what? Bible should be your standard in anything. When the wicked is in power, the people suffer. Buhari is wicked and Nigerians are suffering.

Buhari lead Nigeria into recession in just one year. Which is better?

Simon Utebor, Yenagoa

The Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, has said that Nigeria spends about $22bn a year on importation of food.

Lokpobiri made this known on Saturday at a town hall meeting in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

He said the development had led to the astronomical rise in price of rice and other commodities, stressing that if Nigerians failed to produce some of the items being imported, before December the price of rice would skyrocket to N40,000 a bag.



He said there was a projection that by 2050, Nigeria’s population would be 450 million, wondering what would happen then if the people could not feed themselves now.

Lokpobiri said, “For your information, we spend about $22bn a year importing food into Nigeria. We know how many more dollars … and that is why you see the price of rice going up.

“Price of rice was N12,000 some months ago, but it is now about N26,000 and if we don’t start producing, by December it could be N40,000.

“Rice matures in three months. So, this is a wake up call for Bayelsa people to take the four farms we have seriously. The federal government has four farms in the state in our records. The average land you see in Bayelsa can grow rice, so the colonial masters were not wrong in their assessment when they said Niger Delta could feed not only Nigeria but the entire West Africa sub-region.

“Unfortunately, agriculture till today, is not a priority of the Niger Delta as far as the state governments are concerned because of oil.”

He said the states in the Niger Delta had yet to give priority to agriculture the way the North-West states such as Kebbi, Jigawa, Kano as well as other states like Lagos, Ebonyi, Anambra, have prioritised it.

He said Anambra State for instance, was not owing salaries despite the fact that it does not have oil but raking in money by exporting vegetables.

oyinkinola:
...that's what will alleviates recession?

Getting thing right attracts the interest of the citizenry to work harmoneously. When this is done, people will work for the interest of the nation and not by the division brought upon Nigeria by Buhari.

oyinkinola:
[s][/s]
unreasonable write-up!
Nigerian principal sources of income is oil!
oil price slashedto1/3!
avenger bombed oil to reduce production to 1/2
you need $30 to take 1 barrel oil from soil!
and how much is a barrel in the market today?

Using this as defence is so senseless. I thought prior to the election, some said that since crude oil price is decreasing, that such should reflect on the pump price of petrol? Is it no longer the same crude oil that have reduced in price then that we are using today? What we need is to restructure or for Buhari to change. First, starting with his cabinet of 97% 5% . you don't bear grudges against a section of the country and want cooperation and bitterness. Buhari should get his ass together. Him and his cabinet is the reason why Nigeria is in recession.

How I wish Buhari went to school and was rusticated.

GMBuhari:
Some goats are still talking about crude oil


Anyways Nigeria was supposed to be one

Without that crude oil Nigerians would be one, unfortunately however, some people believe oil is for them and that's the main reason for ruckus


Northerners are not formenting trouble, neither are the south westerners



Fill in the gap as to who is making trouble

Killings in the name of blasphem occurs in .......................................?

The so call poll must have taken place in Ibo land , expected zone of bigotry, I pity una

It did. Ibo land sound like online. Or better still, whenever you are online, you are in ibo land.

Aigbofa:
Those were parts bought from the international market and crudely put together by the Biafrans. If those parts were indeed made in Biafra what happened to the foundries that made the parts? Did anyone destroy any factory after the war?
I don't understand why people are lying to themselves.

You need to learn history before you argue any point. Many industries in Biafra were starved of fund. Ask Olusegun Obasanjo

DonP04:
It is not nepotism . First of all, why naira devaluation will help innoson and other manufacturers to maximize profit , the same can not be said on dangote who imports to build the refineries and other factories across the country like okpella cement factory in edo, tomato paste companies in Kano and Lagos .

Wait a minute, why are not complaining about the arbitrary import waivers to churches and southern businessmen during the Jonathan government

Other companies depend on local source for their factories? Bros ehh! If government can give 10% to all the companies to employ and build factories, it won't be nepotism but as it is now, it is no different.

MrAJQ:
Am starting to think you're right

That's the only option that has not been tried

Let's give the Igbo chance, I guess they may.

danjaba:
Heavy protest??
Wetin concern Nigeria with Spain? Abi Nigeria prison dey for Spain now?
Na through your anus you dey think? Come stage protests for Naija jare.

After reading your comment, I asked myself if Nigeria is practising democracy or we just trample on people's right. Do you even know your right?

President99:
GEJ is the root caused of all these problems.If
he had saved like OBJ saved, Nig would have
been better. but the Otuoke clown was busy
dishing out our hard earned FOREX to Dasuki,
Fayose n the likes.
GEJ met over $68B+crude oil sold over $100
per barrel for most part of his tenure yet he
couldnot save.
Anyway, the gele woman has recently said all,
that their inability to save for rainy day caused
the present economic woes.
GEJ messed Nigeria's economy!!
If not for Buhari's prudency and anti corruption crusade,Nigerian economy could have gone awry than even Venuzuela's

I hope you can make little use of that grey matter in your coconut head.

[quote author=Ibrahim1975 post=48384054][/quote]Accept the fact that Buhari wasted money. This is not the matter of APC/PDP , it is Nigeria first.

HungerBAD:
Jesus.

Hope the supporters of these Militants can see what they have done.

President Buhari should send the Military,into the Niger Delta,and make sure they do not come back until both the militants and their sponsors are killed.

I repeat,not captured but killed.

My God will destroy any supporter of the Militants in this thread.

Buhari clear the Niger Delta once and for all. This Rubbish has to stop.

So this dullard still the give you hope? I pity you

AbuMaryam1:
Let's have zero oil production from Niger Deltan, I'm sure it will give Nigeria a moral to speed up economy diversification. Up militants!!!

How I wish Nigeria has moral. They are in government to tell us lies. Imagine someone said Hajj money was applied for before CBN exchange rate policy.


In 2face voice:
i be like say they want to do another deceiving again oo

Ibrahim1975:
. U see ur life? If the states are not complaining then are then u pple are crying of hunger? why are uncles and retairees at the state and LGAs committing sucide? Why are ekiti pple now stealing pots of food on fire? why are states workers and LGAs on strikes? why are contractors on sites? why the uncompleted projects every where? why? why? why? why?

Learn to read between line so as to ask intelligent questions. Those state governors are corrupt. Most of them spent state's money sponsoring Buhari's presidential ambition so he gave them bailout money.

Don't ask me why states govern by other parties also received bailout money except you are not familier with Nigeria politician or don't want to use your grey matters. #Freemoney

Is there anything wrong if state governors should account for what happened to funds in their disposal?

Returned governors also collected bailout fund after monthly allocation was dully paid to them. Next, someone will ask why Nigeria is broke even when Buhari keeps throwing away money.


All hail Buhari for destroying legacies of our past leaders in 1 year.

Ibrahim1975:
How comes he was borrowing to pay salary if economy was doing well? How come 27 States were bail out by Buhari just one month after we chase him out if the economy was ok?

When some of you talk eh! It pains me a lot. Did any of those state complain not to have received Federal Allocation? Buhari is only corrupt and wants to pay his corrupt cronies.

BetaThings:
If you want to declare a freeze, start after the Muslims have benefitted

Even when the benefit is against the interest of the nation, Muslim must still benefit. I wonder if Nigeria is a nation.

BetaThings:
I agree, but let us kick that off after you have balanced for the two religions
Alhamdu li Llah, I am a Muslim. I was against the 3day holiday after Ramadan because they would not be able to do it for Christians

But look at it from my perspective, Christians got the pilgrimage subsidy but not so many people were aware of it months after
But as soon as that of Muslims was announced everybody knows about it
Do I feel a sense of belonging?

2/3 years ago, Pastor Oritsejafor, then CAN president, said Christians were being treated as second class citizens
NSCIA was forced to respond by pointing out with facts and figures that
appointment was lopsided in favour of Christians
No Muslim minister was from the SW, infact no Muslim was in Jonathan's Exco from the entire South
When the analyses was done by NSCIA, CAN had to keep quiet it was clear that CAN was just being intolerant and trying to stir up trouble

Jonathan's National Conference had 62% Christian membership
When the SW people met in Ijebu to deliberate on their agenda, ALL the people present were Christians with 3 pastors included

Did you think Muslims would have got away with that?

I am a christian and you are a Muslim that should be our personal affair and not bases for appointment or government affair. If you want to bring up the issues of appointment, then Buhari should be nailed.

My take is that religious bodies should sponsor religious activities. The problem with Nigeria is that when a particular religion is in power, they tend to have the interest of the religion more than that of the country.

You made mention of confab under GEJ, can you outline anything wrong or detrimental to our Nation building in that report? Isn't your take more like protecting your religion more than the interest of the nation Nigeria

dearpreye:
If anyone simply criticised this move because the beneficiaries are Muslims then such a person is ignorant, arrogant, bigoted, hypocritical and a threat to the peace and progress of Nigeria.

I frowned at the move even when it was done to Christian Pilgrims who were going to Jerusalem for whatever tasks best known to them. I'm against all forms of government sponsors on what I believe should be very personal and private spiritual journeys. Nigeria claims to be a secular nation plus there are thousands of atheists and other traditional worshippers who don't do this Jerusalem -Mecca bullshit.

It's time to end the sponsors of foolish pilgrimages by the Government. Whoever wants to stone the devil in Mecca or see where John the Baptist was buried in Jerusalem should do so using their own resources.

This has been my stand all day long.

I repeat, if anyone only frowns against the current development because its beneficiaries are Muslims, ten that fellow is a bigot.

So OP, you're on point.

Exactly my point. All form of government sponsorship for religious affair should be put to stop. I condemn the move by CBN 100% not because it is done for the Muslims but for the fact that it was done at all and at a time a new policy has been implemented.

When we make, bend and break laws, what are we doing?

BetaThings:
If you want to declare a freeze, start after the Muslims have benefitted

Is it only Christians and Muslims that are the religious group in Nigeria?

BetaThings:
But the argument you ACTUALLY made is that they should stop "wasting money" on Muslims
But they can spend on Christians

All religion in Nigeria should fit into to law and we shouldn't bend laws because of religion. Government should stop sponsoring religious activities such as building of worship centers, pilgrimage etc

One thing we have failed to understand is that you don't do same thing over and over and expect different result. Currently, our economy is in recession and CBN have taken a stand as to the exchange rate and the change you will agree with me is nothing but nepotism.

My friend shut up! as a presidents daughter couldn't she have raised funds?

Thank you for selling your stupidity to the world. Which other president in the world does the daughter do that?
