I believe someday an Igbo man is going to rule this nation.

It is well.


RISEABOVEHATE.

Dem don start again.

Unna no dey tire.

Good idea.


Whatever will bring the forced-marriage to an end is okay by me.


We shall get there.

Funny enough, all the links lead directly to nairaland.com

Nairaland is doing a wonderful job

Something has to be done about these Fulani herdsmen. They are giving the whole nation headache.

Ghana is planning on chasing them out of the country.

Wherever they go, they are pain in the as.s

They killed two farmers in Osun state early this year and ran away.

I hope the incoming administration shall look into the issue.

AWKA — HERDSMEN who have set up what looks like a permanent abode at the border town of Ugwuoba close to Awka, the Anambra State capital, have become a pain in the neck for the surrounding communities of Amansea, Utoko, Nibo and even the Awka Capital Territory as a result of the menace of their cattle on the farms in the area. Unfortunately, the affected communities appear to be scared of confronting the herdsmen who are often wielding sophisticated weapons while grazing on the people’s farmlands.
So far, the much the people did was speak in hushed tones and the herdsmen seem to be ready to face anybody who dare challenge them for destroying their crops.

Apart from the destruction of farmlands, the presence of the herdsmen at Ugwuoba has created a chaotic traffic situation in the area such that the dual carriage way has been reduced to almost half of one lane due to indiscriminate parking of trailers by drivers, most of who end up there and spend days after discharging their goods in parts of Anambra and Delta states.

An indigene of Amansea, Mr. Jacob Okoli said the menace of cattle on their farmlands has forced them to move across the Amansea River to farm since the herdsmen cannot ferry the cattle across for grazing. According to him, they had previously complained to their traditional ruler over the matter, adding that although meetings were held in that regard in the past, the herdsmen had continued with the destruction of the farms.

He said: “Initially we were driving them out of our farms, but we later noticed that the herdsmen acquired guns which they hung on their backs while grazing. This development frightened our people with the result that we had to abandon our farms close to the area they have converted as their new community at Ugwuoba. “We chose to ignore them because nobody confronts somebody with gun empty handed. We had wondered how the herdsmen acquire the guns they brandish, which they use to intimidate us on our farms.

“Even our river, which is the source of our water supply, had been polluted by the herdsmen as they frequently take the cattle to river where they drink and defecate indiscriminately. In addition, the herdsmen have become a real security and social threat to our people as many girls from our community had become pregnant for the herdsmen who do not even care to marry the girls formally.”

Another community, Utoko in Awka South Local Government Area is also complaining of the menace of cattle in the area. The mainly agrarian community said the herdsmen often graze on their backyards and sometimes frightening children and women with their presence. According to John Ibeh, it is usually disturbing to see people with guns very close to your compound with cattle scattered all over the place.

However, one of the herdsmen, Mallam Aminu said they decided to be carrying guns following frequent theft of their cattle by unknown persons, adding that the theft had reduced considerably since they decided to be providing security for themselves and their cattle. He denied the allegation that the herdsmen take their cattle to farmlands to destroy crops, explaining that such a thing could only happen if they farmland was on their way to a grazing area.

Aminu said: “The people are creating the impression that we are destroying their farms. This is not true. Anytime we have the cause to pass through any farmland, we ensure that out cattle do not eat the crops until we get to our destination.”

Let them secede oooooooo.

Marriage is not by force.

Wish them best of luck in their agitation.

Talk is cheap.

Goddex:
[size=14pt]Tinubu is concerned
about his pocket

His praises for Amaechi is because the stewpid man doled out Rivers state cash to bankroll Buhari's campaigns and now he cannot pay salaries.

Imagine Rivers state with a 13b monthly internally generated revenue, 13% derivation and a huge federal allocation cannot pay salaries[/size]

Word.

Tell them.

Wish them best of luck.

PDP shall be back.

Shey won fi se won ni?

Can't they stay away from ogogoro ni?

In this 21st century?

La wah ooooo.

Whoever emerges

Wish them best of luck sha.


PDP shall be back stronger. Yes, we shall be back.

Wish him best of luck.

What a thread.

What a thread. Early in the morning, I was in my Mom's store when I saw convoy of vehicles filled with students at Sabo junction. I went to the junction to ask what was going on, that was when I knew what happened. They drove round Ife, caught some cultists and took them to the campus. It was a terrible incident.

RIP Afrika and the rest victims.

I tried several times to attend OAU, I eventually attended FUTA. God knows better.

OAU......Oba Awon Universities. The King of them all.

sonymerlot, please come and complete the narration. Thanks.

onatisi:
Gej should have dealt decisively with apc and the opposition but he chose to act like a sissy and weakling unfortunately it is now the turn of apc to deal with pdp ruthlessly and I am seeing any sign of them acting like a weakling or sissy like gej did.

God bless you Sir.

You've said it all.

Jonathan caused this mess.

Imagine the emir was cleared by a federal court in Lagos, a FEDERAL court ooooooo? Jonah caused all these walaha.

He cleared Tinubu of any wrongdoing, he allowed Amaechi and Kwankwanso to decamp to APC successfully, the list is endless.

Jonah, you see your life now? Now HAYFEECEE are coming for you and your ministers, what you should have done in the first place.

You allowed opposition to grow at their own pace(instead of controlling their growth), the opposition eventually consumed you and now it's about to PERSECUTE you and your ministers.

Jonah, you fall my hand. You even called their governors to congratulate them whenever they defeated PDP candidates, what kind of CinC were you Jonah?

Abegiiiiiii jareyyyyyyyyyyy


Meanwhile, Barcanista is right. Pa Buhari should prosecute everyone and not selective. We are patiently watching the movie.

What happened to the money nah?

Good one there.

I think Pa Chukwudi65 is right, Pa Buhari should probe the $16B power fund.

The Chief Navigator must be probed.

Good idea. The terrorists should be sent packing.

Nansense.

You are right Bro.

A group of indigenous mineral explorers said they have found coal reserves of over 196million metric tonnes in Edo State, capable of firing 1,200megawatts (mw) power plant for five decades.

Speaking during a presentation to the federal ministry of power yesterday, in Abuja, Head of the Technical Team of Jidet Nigeria Limited, Mr. Olujide Pocon Tajudeen- Alan, said the coal reserve was 35 metres long in the Edo communities, capable of gebnerating 1,200mw of power at an estimated construction cost of $1.5billion.

Jidet Group, while briefing the ministry’s coal-to-power committee, said they were in the ministry to be guided on how to attract technical partners and willing financiers with a view to actualising the project.

On the firm’s capacity to operate a power plant he said: “We have the capacity to produce 1,000mw electricity for the next 50 years from the coal reserve. As at now, we have confirmed a reserve of 196million MT.

“Our major reasons for coming here is, we want to commence the application and processing of licences to officially enter into the power sector. We are also soliciting the support of experts in the ministry to guide us because initially we are mainly into mineral exploration.”

Responding, Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, represented by his special adviser on renewable energy, Dr. Albert Okorogu said: “The meagre electricity we have in Nigeria is not sufficient so anything we have that we can tap into is very much welcomed.

“They have discovered coal in some unusual places that we have looked into and that’s wonderful. If you look at our coal map, we have never actually mapped Edo as having coal. So the ministry will do all it can in ensuring that they move from mining coal to using it to generate power.”

We have more than enough resources in this country yet people are suffering in the midst of abundance. I hope the incoming government will decentralize electricity generation and distribution so that each state could have their own IPPs.

Enough of reliance on national grid. It has not worked for years and shall never work. Electricity consumption in Lagos can't be compared with that of Osun. May God direct our leaders. I believe we shall get there.

It is well.

Very interesting thread. It's always been my idea at solving the power problem once and for all.

We shall get there. It is well.

Kabiyesi oooooooo


Baba no hide am at all. Fvck diplomacy, if you are diplomatic, you'll be accused of hypocrisy. That's naija for you. Dish it hot to them felifeli.

He should please remain THE CHIEF NAVIGATOR for his new found party called APC.

PDP shall be back stronger with another name.

Yes, we shall be back.

I give them four years. Yes, they don't have more than four years before things would go south for them. The Aggrieved Progressive Congress shall not last long in power.

They will begin to read book of Lamentation soon. It's started already. I don't know who's going to read the book of Lamentation first between Amaechi and Tinubu. I just dey laugh the DESPERADOS

Nansense.

anonimi:
What do you say about Zik's facilitation of Balewa's & Shagari's election in 1960 and 1979 respectively

When will we stop this needless TRIBAL bashing that only makes it easy for our useless leaders to continue exploiting us and deprive us of schools for ALL our kids, roads, railways, TAP water, employment etc?

God bless you for this post Bro.

North sabi use our heads. They know when to use SW, SE or SS.

Their only job is politicking and looting of national treasury. They are the richest yet their people are the poorest. What do they have to show for the 39year-rule? NOTHING but POVERTY and KILLINGS.


Tinubu dey fall my hand bam bam.

I hope he knows what he's doing. He shouldn't allow some idiotas to bash us for another four years oooooooo.


PDP for Life.

Lobatan.

Imagine the bullshitt coming from that abokee, just imagine the shitt he spewed?



Tinubu, you see your life now?

Shey we no warn you that the useless-marriage would not yield good fruit?

The movie is just getting started, may God keep us all alive to witness the end of the movie.

We shall all see where this movie is going to end.

Only God knows how many people who are going to lose their lives in the season movie.


Patiently following the movie.



Tinubu, see your life outside. Na you allow those cattle rearers to dey downgrade us. If you'd not formed and gave them the platform (APC) for free, where are they going to get the FAWAR nah? Jonathan could have emerged victorious if not for the APC which you created nah.

Tinubu, you dey fall my hand oooooo. Now some azzholes from nowhere are going to be downgrading us.

Nansense.


PDP for life.

Still, I follow the season movie patiently.

T9ksy:
Oooops my bad...............please check page 5 (of 16) of the link i supplied and whilst at it, do also check the date -Aug 10, 1967. At the time in question, gowon was still pu.s.sy -footing about with the rebels insisting on a "police action" will suffice in quelling the rebellion meanwhile, ojukwu was already dropping bombs onto Lagos, killing yorubas who had nothing to do with the northerners who butchered his people in the north in their tens of thousands, like roaches.

Lord Jesus.

So, they started bombing Lagos even before the war started?

Too badt.

I think Ojukwu got the strategy wrong. Anyway, it's become history and I believe we've all learnt our lessons.

It is well.

Good idea.

Let them go abeg.

Wish them best of luck.
