Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige has said that the South-Eastern part of the Nigeria is fairly represented and accorded its due entitlements by the President Muhammadu Buhari led government.

I wish I have the power to command lightning to strike any B0K0HARI apologists, I would have sent one to visit this IDIOT, Mr. Ngige for his M0R0NIC utterances. The only reason he made such a statement knowing fully well that he was lying thru his teeth was simply to assuage the fears of his FULANI TERRORISTS Masters.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was fined $100 Saturday for violating Covid-19 containment measures in Sao Paulo state by failing to wear a face mask and provoking huge crowds at a motorcycle rally for supporters.

I hope the government of Brazil does NOT shut down the whole country -like the ZOO did to BAN Twitter- because its President was fined for violating Covid-19 containment measures.

Unconfirmed reports have it that six soldiers and a member of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) have been reportedly killed in the melee.

Why are people so BIASED when they report the NEWS? How was the reporter able to determine it was ESN that engaged the military in a gun duel? BIASEDF and FAKE NEWS everywhere!

DavidAO:


Because it does not reflect the person of Christ. To believe in Jesus means to accept the life of Jesus and live that way. Do you think Jesus might join or support protests against the government? Do you think Jesus might be bothered by who rules the nation?

Also, as clearly show in Galatians 5:20, protest and other things of such against a lawful authority is a work of the flesh. A person in Christ mustn’t be entangled with such. If your reality has changed, then your reaction to things must change.

Well, it's sentiment like yours that are part of the problem bedeviling the country. It's the major reason why Nigeria is in a COMATOSE state. You do not mix religion with government. Nigerians have become so religious that they have LOST their common sense. They ascribe religion to every event that happens in their daily lives. Could you show us where it was written in the Bible that a Christian should NOT join a protest against a FAILED government that is bent on DESTROYING its people? I find it very disconcerting that Africans have become more religious than the white men who brought religion to the shores of Africa. White people have the sensibility to know that there's separation between the Church and the state. Those that brought religion to you PROTEST against the government every time there's a need to call its attention to do the right thing for the people. Even the Bible tells you in Matthew 22:21, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” There's a sharp distinction between two kingdoms. There is a kingdom of this world...the government, and mere mortals hold power over it. But there is another kingdom, not of this world, and GOD reigns supreme over that. Christians are part of both kingdoms, at least temporarily. Under the government, we have certain obligations that involve material things and you can protest and DEMAND that your government do the right thing for its people. Under GOD, we have other obligations that involve things eternal. So, please do not come with this misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the Bible.

I guess the pictures displayed are supposed to depict the UGM killed. It behooves reasonable people to ask where are the pictures of the 6 soldiers reportedly killed? That's ZOO reporting for you.

Everyone is a HOODLUM in the eyes of the so called political elites and BUHARI IDIOTS!

Good work to the security forces. All those who are violent must face judgment.

All criminals should be thought in the language they will understand

God Bless Nigeria

Yes
Can you stand against them?
Or you want to bring calamity and destruction to the South East region?

After the one done in 1967 to 1970?

All talk no ACTION! Go and CLEAN UP your POLLUTED land FIRST before you start VOMITTING RUBBISH. How many of your so called NIGER DELTANS have OIL BLOCK? And you have the temerity to be TALKING of your NIGERIA. Have you NO SHAME?

djon78:



2023 election is coming up
You guys should make sure
You put your people there through the ballot box

If not
Na long things una dey
And you can not do anything about it
Can you stand against the whole of Nigeria?

Can you stand against the whole of Nigeria?

Please, could you tell me the WHOLE Nigeria that you're talking about? Do you mean the FULANI and their serfs, so called Niger Delta?

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohamed says Twitter is showing little enthusiasm toward the dialogue it initiated to resolve issues leading to the suspension of its operations.

Mr. Liar Mohammed, does that not tell you that Twitter knows you and your TERRORIST run government are FULL of SH*T?

Please, could you REMIND us of your achievements because we have forgotten them either because they are NONE EXISTENT or you are lying between your teeth! Which one is it?

Story

They are the leaders we know in the East
They hold the authority
And authority is everything
Una think say authority is child's play?

In the committee of nations of the world
He who has sovereignty authority is the one that is backed

Example
Look at the US Presidential election
Upon all Donald Trump's initial gara gara
When the time for him to vacate that place
For the new rightful owner
He had no other option than to quit
This was almighty USA

As long as all these men
We're elected into there positions
They are the leaders of South East
And no Jupiter on the planet Earth
Can stop that

If Ipob are serious
They should contest election with there popularity let's see
If not
They are all making noise
And you can not fight government
Never

Even the enfant terrible Adolf Hitler
Gained German power through winning elections
He lost the elections of the 1920s
But persisted until he won a decade later through which he unleashed the kind of terror
The world will ever know

Look at the US Presidential election
Upon all Donald Trump's initial gara gara
When the time for him to vacate that place
For the new rightful owner
He had no other option than to quit
This was almighty USA

Where did President Biden get his mandate? The American people gave him their mandate and NOT the governors or those in elective office as you wrongly adduced. Therefore, the governors of the southeast are not the ones that would DETERMINE whether the people of southeast separate from NIGERIA. That DETERMINATION rests with the people and not just the 5 COWARDLY governors and their acolytes.

“Those who dish out hate speeches from our region, threat of violence or secession do not speak for South East. I repeat, we the South East people are not for secession, we don’t support it; we don’t call for it."

First of all, let me REMIND these COWARDLY South East governors that calling for self determination is neither HATE SPECH nor for VIOLENCE. And besides, these IDIOTS are NOT speaking for the entire southeasterners. If they LOVE NIGERIA so much, they can MOVE up North when BIAFRA is restored and we are okay with that.

The state also directed its citizens to defend themselves against attacks by bandits.

What is wrong with those who called themselves rulers of Nigeria? How can the so called President of a country give directives to the security agents to kill any citizen seen with a gun and at the same time, the Defense Minister and Governors of various States ask their citizens to DEFEND themselves from FULANI TERRORISTS? This DOUBLE speak puts citizens in a quagmire and in "Damn if you do, damn if you don't situation." The question then becomes, "How and with what do these governors expect the citizens to defend themselves?" Please, could somebody tell me why they see Nigeria as a viable state with this level of IDIOCY?

Now, where's the OUTRAGE when these FUILANI TERRORISTS murder innocent peasant farmers in COLD BLOOD? I would like to see all the B0K0HARI apologists and UNITY BEGGARS break their deafening SILENCE and speak against these UNHOLY murders of civilians. Why are NIGERIANS so COWARDLY that they can speak truth to POWER?

Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

Nairaland was down for two hours due to a minor miscommunication with our host that was related to copyright infringement.

It shouldn't have taken as long as 2 hours to restore Nairaland, but it took a while for us figure out exactly what to do because it hadn't happened before, and we also had to wait for our host's support team to restore us fully after taking the necessary steps.

We are sorry for this inconvenience.

We know that keeping Nairaland working is especially important in this terrifying political climate, and we take it very seriously. Nigerians need a platform that they can use to share their views freely with each other. We believe that Nairaland is that platform.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.

I am NOT sure if you're the owner or host of this site but FREEDOM of SPEECH no matter how distasteful it might be, is a bedrock of DEMOCRACY. And to keep restricting what TOPICS should or should NOT be discussed on this FORUM especially in this modern day, is not only preposterous but a disservice to the citizens of the country. You can't be restricting speech on the site and at the same time claim that people are FREE to air their views. With what's going on in the country, citizens should be allowed to express their views on any issues that affect the country and NOT stifle dissenting views. Nigerians should not be coerced due to an individual's pecuniary inducements to accept hook line and sinker the narratives of those that pay to have such as the truth and the ONLY prevailing narratives. This is actually what is WRONG with the country. People are made to think and reason a certain way or to only believe certain narratives. If by cheer providence you have a different view or opinion, you're either gagged and prevented from expressing such or declared an ENEMY of the state. What a SHAME and a DISGRACE!

This is how foreigners treat AFRICANS especially in NIGERIA. But you dare not act likewise to them in your own country not to talk of in theirs. Shame on Black People!

Spray a worthless NOTE and go to jail. This is ONE NIGERIA.

President Buhari’s Speech at the Handing Over of Security Equipment By Governor of Lagos State to Lagos State Police Command

Protocols:

I am very pleased to be here today to witness the handing over of newly-acquired security equipment and assets to the Lagos State Police Command, by His Excellency the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on behalf of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund.

There is no doubt that these new equipment being handed over today will go a long way in boosting the morale of the Police, and further enhance their capacity to fight crime and combat criminality. This is even more touching in the light of the unwarranted violence that ensued in the wake of the ENDSARS protests last October, which saw the security architecture in Lagos state being severely damaged.

It is commendable that Lagos State, the Centre of Excellence, has shown a truly resilient spirit, in the face of the massive destruction it suffered last October. You did not allow yourselves to be deterred by the severe setback; instead you have bounced back and are now boldly rebuilding the confidence of residents and investors in the State.


I acknowledge the initiative taken to kick-start the rebuilding process, through the establishment of the Lagos State Rebuild Trust Fund, and through this very laudable effort by the Lagos State Security Trust Fund. I enjoin other State Governments to emulate your bold, proactive and resourceful initiative.

The Federal Government takes very seriously our constitutional oath to secure the lives and properties of the Nigerian people. We are well aware of the fact that lasting security is a necessary foundation for business, investment and true prosperity.

This is why we have demonstrated, and continue to demonstrate, our commitment to comprehensive Police reform in Nigeria. Indeed, no Federal Government since 1999 has been as committed as our administration, to reforming and repositioning the Nigeria Police Force and national policing architecture.

In 2019, I signed into law the Act establishing the Nigeria Police Trust Fund, the first in the history of the Force, to provide guaranteed funding to support Police welfare, logistics and equipment.

In September 2020, I assented to the Bill amending the Nigeria Police Act, which was originally enacted in 1943. This new Act, a vast improvement over the old one, among other things spells out the modalities for the implementation of a National Community Policing Scheme in Nigeria. This new scheme will build confidence within our local communities and make them active stakeholders in the safety and security of their environs.

We are currently recruiting 10,000 new Police officers to reinforce our personnel capacity across the country. In addition to this, I have directed the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission to carry out an upward review of Police Salaries and Benefits. Let me also use this opportunity to commend the leadership of the Force for the reforms being implemented in the area of Police Pensions.

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen; even as we strive to improve Police welfare and capacity, we equally have our expectations of them. First let me commend the Inspector-General of Police and the entire Force for the recent efforts to restore peace to troubled parts of the country.

I have charged the Inspector-General to leave no stone unturned in rebuilding the morale of his officers and men, especially in the aftermath of the mindless violence associated with the EndSARS protests, as well as the recent spate of attacks on Police Stations in some parts of the country.

A nation that turns its Police personnel and infrastructure into targets of violence and destruction is a nation on the path of self-destruction. We will act firmly and decisively against any and all persons fomenting or carrying out attacks on our Police Force and other security personnel.

Let me also use this opportunity to reiterate that my directive to security agencies, to shoot any person or persons found illegally wielding AK-47s and other assault weapons, remains in place.

As Commander-in-chief, my primary responsibility remains the security of the country and the safety of all citizens. Despite the many challenges we are facing, I want Nigerians to rest assured that we will secure this country. We will secure our infrastructure, our highways, our communities, and our forests, and we will secure the lives of our people.

To effectively accomplish this goal, however, we require the support of all stakeholders, including the other tiers of government, and non-government actors like traditional, community and religious leaders, the private sector, civil society organisations, and citizens themselves.

Security is a collective effort, and credible intelligence, which is a necessary ingredient for preventing and fighting crime, cannot be obtained without the full cooperation of citizens and communities.

Once again, let me commend Lagos State for what you are doing in the areas of reinforcement and support for the security agencies in the State.

Let me also commend all of the private sector partners who have risen up to the challenge and partnered wonderfully with the State Government in its ongoing battle to quell the upsurge of crime and insecurity in the state.

It is my hope that this public/private sector partnership will be an example to others to demonstrate similar acts of generosity and responsibility.

Let me now again express my gratitude to the Lagos State Government for extending an invitation to me to join you at this handing-over ceremony.

Thank you, God bless Lagos State, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

We want to see the LIVE video not still photo of the freaking IMPOSTOR!

Please, for those of you who still believe that B0K0HARI is alive, why was his commissioning of the Lagos Railway Line not shown LIVE when he went into the glassed-in hall? I watched the BBC clip but the reporter was stopped at the door and was NOT allowed to go inside the hall where the B0K0HARI IMPOSTOR was supposed to speak. I am sure Channels TV and other stations that are part of the conspiracy to deceive the ill informed citizens were allowed inside the hall and then hours after the event, they would air the commissioning after it has been doctored. If they are sure , why did the FULANI CABALS and their cohorts not show the whole event LIVE from the time the impostor arrived all the way through till the end? Nigerians are MUMU!

President Muhammadu Buhari has urged governors to stop waiting for him to solve every problem for them, saying they should stop attacks by herdsmen in their states.

Could B0K0HARI tell the citizens why the Police that's controlled by the FGN and other security organizations do not respond when called during herdsmen attacks? They only show up after the attacks had been completed.

Who else in that picture with B0K0HARI impostor is wearing their mask with the strings over their neck instead of the ears? That seems odd.

Racoon:
Definitely going back to Niger Republic to continue his bloody fiefdom reign.He is not retiring to take up any peace, humanitarian, educational endowment or global advocacy chair because he never represent any.

He is not retire to serve any statemanly responsibility because he was a failed president.He came from tending unproductive cattle and going back to same.

This is not a reflection on the IDIOT but a reflection on Nigeria for allowing a CLUELESS, M0R0N to lead it.

I know B0K0HARI is a M0R0N but I did not know he's out of touch and CLUELESS to this extent.

The President said borders were arbitrarily drawn by the French colonialists without taking into cognisance the cultural similarities of the people of Niger and Nigeria even as he revealed that he has first cousins in Niger Republic.

The same ZOO government that divvied up the BIAFRA land creating states using arbitrary drawn lines is now talking about France creating borders arbitrarily. This goes to tell you what the plans of the impostor in Aso Rock is. You can construct a railway line to Niger Republic but NONE going to BIAFRA land and you're claiming ONE NIGERIA. You must be JOKING!

In his resignation letter dated Wednesday, June 9, Mr Effiong said that "his ideology does not go in tandem with that of the All Progressive Congress (APC)"

Kudos to Mr. Effiong! It takes guts and strong beliefs in one's principles to quit a job especially in a country where unemployment is rampant and to get a high profile job like that depends on who you know. I wish more Nigerians are principled like him.

yusluvad:
Buhari is a terrorist...

No doubt!

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd); Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, and former Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, and others will meet Thursday in Abuja on the state of the nation.

I am bemused by the actions of these so called "elder statesmen." They can meet from dawn to dusk, as long as they are not WILLING to call out and deal with the GENESIS of the problem, nothing would ever change! As in life, in order to deal with a PROBLEM, you MUST first identify the issue. After you have identified the problem, you can then map out a strategy to deal with and resolve the issue. But you just can't dabble into solving a problem that you have not fully identified. And this is the problem that the country is dealing with. Every ethnic group has been kowtowing to the FULANI HEGEMONIC excesses.

Terrorists are asking the communities in Anka, Birnin Magaji, Bakura, and Zurmi Local Government Areas, including Dansadau in Maru to oblige with the demands to pay the levy and have a hitch free farming season in their respective farmlands, or face attack, HumAngle has learnt.

Where's the ZOO military to protect the defenseless farmers and citizens going about their daily lives? OOPs! I forgot they are all in BIAFRA land committing untold genocide!

EBMedia:
Veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo has expressed displeasure over Nigeria's current situation, IgbereTV reports.

In a post shared on his Instagram handle, the actor said for the first time in a long time, he finds nothing to be cheerful about in Nigeria.

Sharing a photo of himself in a sorrowful state, he wrote:


https://www.instagram.com/p/CP06AJFHg8i/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I can't agree more with Mr. Damijo. There's absolutely nothing about Nigeria to be proud of. I would give 20,00 Naira to any individual that can tell me just ONE well thought-out reason he or she is PROUD to be a NIGERIAN.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Wednesday, disclosed the readiness of the popular social media giant, Twitter, for engagements with the Federal Government.

This sounds like a face saving statement by the Zoo government because the whole WORLD is speaking out against their ill-timed and conceived move to BAN Twitter in the Zoo. Another LIE by Liar Mohammed!

I guess the next move by the ZOO government is to tell the citizens how to think; what to think and when to think.
