In the circumstances who says Nnamdi Kanu is not a loose cannon!

Proscribing an unregistered association?! They can tell that to the Marines! Anyway, that's as far as it goes! Can you proscribe an idea whose time has come? Perish the thought!

Believe that and you'll believe anything!

Femi and infamy are like 5 and 6. So unfortunate he appears to care so little about his legacy!

I guess you should know what you are talking about! #thumbsup

Believe that and you'll believe anything! No thanks to Nnamdi Kanu and The Elders of his land whose absence from home was responsible for his picking up a python and adorning same in the mistaken belief he had on a necklace.
Lord have mercy on all Southerners resident in the North. Nnamdi Kanu has in recent now become deathly quiet and found no venues for rallies!

Fall out of claims to racial superiority that is. #looknotdownonanyhuman

Oga, that is NOT what Article 3 of the 1949 Geneva Convention says. It is Article 51 sub-section 3 of Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts (Protocol I), 8 June 1977 that says; "3. Civilians shall enjoy the protection afforded by this Section, unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities." Article 13(3) of Additional Protocol II, also confirms this. A civilian loses the right to protection, once he engages in hostilities against the armed forces in a conflict. Rule 6 of International Humanitarian Law also reinforces this aspect.

I guess I blew that! 4give me. Thanks to you

Buhari just succeeded in making this Nnamdi kanu a hero

Hero? So was Hitler.

1949 GENEVA CONVENTIONS ARTICLE 3, "YOUR STATUS CHANGES ONCE YOU START WEARING AN ARMY UNIFORM, FOR YOU BECOME AN ENEMY COMBATANT:". A RECOGNIZED ARMY (THE NIGERIAN ARMY, IN THIS CASE) CAN USE FORCE TO NEUTRALIZE YOU AND YOUR FELLOW MILITANTS.

Prof, keep your word. Destroy your Green Card. For now your screams into the microphone is a barely audible whimper.

About time! Meanwhile contra illogical arguments on Today's Channels TV Sunrise Daily Program.#thumbsdown

Op i agree with your points except "No.4", we had an Ekuke' many years ago and when armed robbers visited, the dog did not make a single sound and we didnt see the dog for 'two days'

Ps-The dog had an unusual appetite for licking engine oil and destroying slippers and shoes........

When you left it uncared for. It got back at you!

The tantrum of an ignored irritant. It can't get more worse than this before he gets to biting on tree barks. Sadly not worth a mortar-full of pounded-yam. Sordid stain on his family name and heritage!

His Constituency woke up to his tantrums a little late.

Published September 11, 2017

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Aliyu Abdullahi, has lamented the constant harassment of the Senate by Nigerians, adding that the upper legislative chamber cannot disclose its salaries and allowances.

Abdullahi said this during a live programme on Channels Television titled, ‘Politics Today.’

The Senate spokesman also refused to state how much the lawmakers earned in salary and allowances.

When asked to say how much he earned, Abdullahi said it was rude of the presenter to ask him how much each senator earned.

Abdulahi said, “You don’t expect me to come out on national television to say this is what I earn. It is not done. I cannot ask you as a journalist how much you earn. It is not done.

“If anybody is interested in how much we are getting paid, you know where to get the information. The documents are available. If Nigerians won’t believe that, is it what I will say that they will believe?”

The Senate spokesman said the figures released by the Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), were false, adding that the Senate’s budget was not even as high as what Sagay released.

He said Sagay was only trying to cause unnecessary tension between the National Assembly and the Presidency.

When confronted with the figures exclusively obtained by Channels Television which put the salary and allowances of each senator at N14m per month and House of Representatives members as N8m per month, Abdullahi said he could not confirm or deny the figures.

Abdullahi said the cost of democracy was not as high as the cost of not having democracy and Nigerians should look on the bright side.

He added, “This issue has become a recurring decimal. In the last two years people have been discussing this matter and I always ask myself, what do people really want to believe? I think if this subject matter has been discussed for two years and we are still looking at issues wrongly, then I think there is something wrong with us.

“The institutions that are responsible for providing this information are there. A law was promulgated on Top Salary Scale also known as TOPSA and it is based on this scale that everyone who holds one political office or the other gets paid.

“I want to also submit that I presume Prof. Sagay would have been paid based on the provision of this scale. For us in the National Assembly, the question needs to be asked ‘what is the cost of having democracy and what is the cost of not having democracy?’”

Sagay (SAN), had said last week that a Nigerian senator earns N29m per month.

“From the information I have gathered, a Nigerian senator earns about N29m a month and over N3bn a year,” the professor said.

He added, “Basic salary N2,484,245.50; hardship allowance, 1,242, 122.70; constituency allowance N4, 968, 509.00; furniture allowance N7, 452, 736.50; newspaper allowance N1, 242, 122.70.

“Wardrobe allowance N621,061.37; recess allowance N248, 424.55; accommodation 4,968,509.00; utilities N828,081.83; domestic staff N1,863,184.12; entertainment N828,081.83; personal assistant N621,061.37; vehicle maintenance allowance N1,863,184.12; leave allowance N248,424.55; severance gratuity N7, 425,736.50; and motor vehicle allowance N9, 936,982.00.”

If it were the days of The French Revolution this Senator and his ilk in the Senate should be on their way to The Guillotine! Insensitive and banal lot!!

Reading this on a toilet seat

I'm not working today, I'm off

some barnies up the pecking order

but hey, I can't get too twichy now...there's the sudden rainfall to worry about.

Do be careful though! I once lost a Nokia N9 to my WC induced by the blissful grunts that accompany the big job!!

Not unexpectedly though! We are still unresponsive to the potentials of Tourism as an economic endeavor capable of sustaining a viable economy!
The typical fellow with the greenback has an annual budget for vacation and shops around for where to spend it.

I celebrate The Pa for staying true to his wife no matter! Too many African men for comfort
have had white ladies marry them and follow them back home only to kick in the hearts ♥️ of the ❤️ struck damsel! #celebratearealman

In the face of your lack of home training or refusal to imbibe same Your Lot is sure to befall you in one fell swoop! Proverbs 28:13 should sum up what'll befall you unless you repent in good time.

How much

Mercy prevails over judgment!

Fundamental rights are not absolute. They are subject to recognized legal curtailments. For example, you don't go about saying false things about others in the purported exercise of your right to freedom of expression without expecting to be sued for defamation of character. Once you accept bail conditions in return for freedom pending conclusion of trial it is not good law to say you can resile from them without an order of court varying same. He should get sound legal advice.

woky:
he is a fool

He that refers to an elder as foolish will end up foolishly.

Ex-President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan a.k.a "Fortunatus" forever seeking relevance after he ruled Nigeria in a manner careless, clueless and not hands-on for which he has remained unapologetic. So much of our patrimony stolen (little wonder according to him stealing is not corruption) right under his nose and our soldiers demystified, ambushed and cheaply killed by terrorists because commanding officers largely from a section of the country that claim to love him loved money enough to put up battle showings that signposted sabotage of the NA that enabled takeovers of Nigerian territories by terrorists in return for filthy lucre in millions leading to the painful deaths of our gallant soldiers. I hope the Malaysian President schools him well on how Malaysia took palm tree seedlings from Nigeria to experiment with and same its major exportable commodity by dint of hardwork not image-laundering. I pray he repents in good time before it is his turn to face God (like we will all do someday) to account for his lifetime on earth.

What about Igbos indigenous to your so called South-South states? What happens to Asaba people, Ibusa people, Okpanam, Oshimili and all the Igbo elements of Delta state?

What about the Igbos of Rivers? Obigbo, Asa, Ndoki, Etche and the rest? What will you say to Minister of Transport and former Governor of Rivers, Chibuike Amaechi, an Ikwerre man who recently said "nobody should deny me my Igbo heritage"

What about the Benue Igbos?




People like Nnamdi Kanu and Asari Dokubo are proposing that Biafra becomes a confederation which I believe it should be. Igbos get their Region, Ijaw/Ogoni gets its own Region, Efik/Ibibio get their own Region. Every Region controls 100% of its resources and pays an agreed percentage to the center, nobody will be able to marginalise anybody. It wont even matter who the ruling class are.




Gowon created Rivers state to cause hate between brothers as well as steal the Oil wealth of the people. In the old Eastern Region, the provinces were getting 50% of whatever came out of their land. In Rivers state, they are getting 13%. So who lost at the end of the day?

This makes some good sense. Ex-President Obasanjo and his likes playing with the word "restructuring" should know Confederation is good for Nigeria. It makes for a big African player of a country where no component part feels "marginalized" since an essential feature of a confederation is a weak centre and stronger confederating units. A confederation compared with Federalism is cheaper to run and we'll discover no one really will be willing to give an arm and a leg just to sniff and snatch what Abuja has to offer.

Kaetoh:
This is a complete and unimaginable falsehood. Igbo business men, home and abroad rewarded General Effiong with huge cash, but the selfless and strict Biafran deputy leader turned it down. Biafra is established on self sacrifice and not self aggrandizement as you have in Nigeria where every Fulani and Afonja, like IBB , tinubu, mko , obasanjo and Buhari thrive on the oppression and blood draining of their wretched subjects. The poor now resort to skull mining and rituals for survival.

Considering your premise it should be interesting to have your answer to the following questions. In all the circumstances. 1. How selfless was Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu? 2. How selfless is Nnamdi Kanu?

So unfortunate that a serving Minister of The Federal Republic will tell journalists to go get her comment on an issue of public interest made in a language not The Nation's official language translated on their own. Utterly irresponsible conduct.
