I really hope and pray we reach a point in our national lives where common sense will prevail ... I really think the HERO was right when he said Nigerians will praise him when he left office because he knew most Nigerians lack understanding.
... And the oil prices were already predicted to fall anyway , even at that time dollar was already increasing but election cover our eye.

What leverage does Nigeria have in international market? We IMPORT everything , even the so called innoson motors ARE THE ENGINES MADE NIGERIA , TYRES?
..
If u give buhari THE major share of The blame then turn on CNN and see what oil prices are doing to even the Arabs but they are not complaining because they already have reserves , diversified economies (I.e UAE has dubai tourism , functioning airline etc). In Nigeria which industry do we turn to

Keep blaming buhari and be cheering PDP on ... Eventually the global oil prices will stabilise , then you can vote out apc and allow those pen wielding thieves turn our economy into a pseudo dollar economy again .

Go and see the democratic and republican nomination race. Do u see anybody sharing rice ? If u like vote back stomach infrstructufe politics in 2019 .

adeaks:
The problem is that the supreme court declared the Oguebego Executive as the authentic executive but did not say anything on the election of the people tendered by the fake executive who contested and won the elections. People have only been reading their own implications into the judgment.

Inec CANNOT withdraw the certificate given to oduah and co without an express court order directing them to do so.

The Oguebego case was a pre-election matter dealing with in-house primaries. It had nothing to do with the election itself that brought in Stella oduah and co which can only be heard by an election tribunal.

The Suit filed by Awomolo and Co is for the supreme court to direct on which way to proceed. It would bring a final end to all the confusion we have currently. Justice kolawole's order is for INEC to wait until the supreme court gives a judgment one way or another in the current suit.

People will just berate the judge without understanding the issues. Justice kolawole is not a rookie judge not to have considered all the ramificatons of granting the injunction. And finally, he definitely didn't overrule the supreme court. The person who wrote the title is just being mischievous.

Wait Mr lawyer ... If a court states pdp faction A is not recognised , can ANYTHING * they do be legal? NO .

That is how amaechi became a governor .

The truth is our judiciary is this nations biggest wahala

missdebs:
lemme ask one question... is it by force?
dbanj should goan perform with kanye west

I tire o brother, drake was picked up from Canada by Wayne and took along his crew (cos he knew you don't go 2 a strange land without the necessary people who know you and how to bring out your perfect beats )

D'banj started feeling like a God and don quiet rebuilt his brand , created mavin brought forward a brand new set of stars , d'banj flopped came back and till today hasn't birthed a star!!!

If d'banj had won a Grammy the story for different so d'banj should go and chill , jazzy has seen his true colour ...

They said Apc is boko Haram party , Hausa party , Muslim party , northern party BUT. Their darling christian / southern party is being chaired by a northerner . Lol

I really pity my Niger delta brothers ... Vote pdp /apc /apga based on the candidate not the party

luvmijeje:
I understand why she felt she was targeted because is Igbo. But what would have made her complaints credible is to tell us her achievement for the past 2 and half years that she was DG of NCWD.

she should have decorated the whole article with activities she headed to empower women despite all the challenges she faced.

GOD bless you ... Such a long letter but not one mention of any achievement in office .

Tribalism is the excuse of failures, same way the lecture r failed me is the excuse when students .

Mindfulness:
Is it the only problem you have with her? If the answer is yes, then ignore it. Go silent on her and do not even bother to think about it.
I say it because it seems to me that you two are quite comfortable and because I believe that there are situations where our siblings need and deserve our help and you are doing the needful without depriving your own family of anything necessary.

If your wife has other attributes that are pleasing you, then it is enough. Nobody is perfect.

If the woman can disrespect her husband by calling her in-law to return stuffs already given what happens when the husband hits a rough patch?

Forget what the bible says family is more important than a wife (a stranger who has known her hubby for most times less than 4 years).
Tomorrkw the woman can divorce him , but family is till and even after death .

This is what happens when guys refuse to "be open " when courting babes for serious relationship /marriage . You should create scenarios and events that create quarrels so u see the ladies reaction /actions .
Not coming to NL to ask if u married the wrong woman

I AM NOT AN ENGINEER OOO ... But when they were changing BRT lanes to concrete the rods looked fatter. And interwoven , this one looks like kitchen net iron lol , hope they doing a professional job sha m

ANYWAY. I don't believe roads are what any Nigerian state really needs now , we need industries ! Where are the industries
.
I constructed roads shouldn't be an achivemenf in Nigeria 16+ years of democracy

TheArchangel:
And THAT'S THE ORIGIN OF IGBOS...RIGHT
PATHETIC.
I have seen fabrications but this is fabrication extraordinaire.!!!

Well if u believe ibos actually originated as migrants from egypt or middle east then carry on *winks *

MrMcJay:
This woman thinks she's talking to that drunken fisherman. it was careless talk like this that made Jonathan not to provide a single borehole for Otueke. It took the intervention of outsiders for Otueke to have potable water after 6 years of an Ijaw man as President.

I know of a boy from the ND who made a 1st class in Law both at Uni and Law School. He later got an admission offer to Cambridge for his masters. He wrote to these vagabonds in power from the SS and non of them answered him even after pledging to work for them upon his return home. A British body gave him a scholarship and he ended up making a First class in law from Cambridge.

A graduate earns 19,800 per month but the smallest militant granted amnesty earns 5,000 per night on accommodation. Yet, the people are suffering. Old folks without healthcare and social benefits, the waters are poisoned and schools are gang recruitment centers.

Diezani was appointed a Director in Shell based on community quota, what did she do for her people? Kingsley Kuku was buying houses for runs girls he met on IG and the ND people are suffering. Asari Dokubo founded his university in Benin Republic far away from the reach of his people. Edwin Clark never did anything tangible for the ND people apart from marrying a new wife. This same Ms. Briggs was an adviser under Jonathan and made sure he was ruined with her selfishness.

The Niger Delta needs to find a way of flushing out these set of thieves they are bedeviled with otherwise, a thousand Jonathans can't help them.
After all, it is an Hausa man that ordered the clean up of the oil spill in the ND after their 'brother' refused to do it.

God bless you bro ... Lemme even add more names the list
#1 DSP their governor general embeZZLED. Billions yet they revere him
#2. Ibori embezzle BILLIONS. And is even in prison yet they await his return like we waiting for Jesus
#3 . Igbenedion EmbeZzled BILLIONS. And is still walking the streets of Benin and crowd cheering
#4. Anenih. Intact etc !!!

Yet as an Edo guy I always wonder why most ND people so blind to the fact that we are where. We are today because of our own NDtans and not the north .

LOL!
Ugbowo is now where Owo was defeated? I no fit laugh!
Have you've been to Owo before? Do you know many towns you would encounter from Uniben (benin city) to Owo? How could Owo be defeated in a place quite far from them? Just see the conjectures everywhere
Bini and lies, eh!
That reminds how the same senile bini people said Ekosodin was where Eko people were defeated! How could Eko be defeated in a place as far back as bini?
I ask again where was the phantom bini empire? Prove with evidence to back up claims that the empire even existed in the first place?
Yeye people!

You once claimed I lack comprehensive reading skills but each reply makes me wonder whether u actually did go the uniben of even any other school for that matter ??
Lemme explain your poor intellectual reasoning for the last time as I shall not reply u again cos you clearly not wise .

#1... USA went to Vietnam and was defeated , also u.s have been to Iraq , Kuwait , etc to fight wars ... Going by your very shocking DULL. Reply what makes it impossible for there to be a battle between owo and benin ? If there could even be a war between fulani (sokoto caliphate and oyo )

#2 ... I believe you must have a native name , doesn't the. Name mean something ? Especially when translated to English ! So you think towns all over the world are just given ("names". Lol. You reasoning is shallow.
.
#3... Eko is. A benin word "ekho". And its ekhosodi. Not ekoskdin. Its people( aliens mostly ) who made it popular to call and spell it ekosodin .

I urge you not to display your ignorance outside , its cool and funny online but in a physical gathering you would be ridiculed and bring shame on uniben in the process . Thank you .

Diademk07:

LOL!
As an Ondo native and Uniben alumni, I reiterate that we have nothing to do with Bini! Bini clowns wouldn't stop to denigrate themselves! How could Bini rule Benin republic yet has no influence in Oyo which borders Benin Republic nor influence in Benin republic herself as opposed to the number of Yoruba natives cutting across the West to Togo and Benin Replublic?
How can Bini claim to have Okun god when thgey have no sea in the first place?
How about these clowns providing evidence to back up claims that Bini was an empire or that the Lost bastard was Oduduwa? LOL! The joke is on you!
That being said, Yoruba have folklores and at the same time, tend to give real men/women names affiliated with the Folklore!
For instance, Oduduwa is a folklore myth but at the same time, there was a person named Oduduwa, who ruled Ife for many years! Same as Ogun, Obatala, Sango and his 3 wives (Oba, Oya etc). We all have them in numbers as a real person and folklores! Don't get it twisted!

Bro I am also a uniben alumni don't u know the meaning. Of UGBOWO? It means where owo people were defeated I AM also attaching screenshots to show you ondo is essentially part of Edo state, if there can be ijaws ( an offshoot of Edo ). HOw then Won't Edos be indigenous?

The truth is in modern Nigeria we dont like telling ourselves the truth and everything is politicised that is why they even clamouring for more states .

Also if in your funny wisdom u argue Benin couldn't have controlled dahomey since its seperated by then oyo I ask u to Google cabinda (Angola ) and solve your own mental question .

macof:


You are really dumb. .. what culture doesn't have its folklores? stop saying nonsense. ..folklores make studying the civilization interesting and fun

1. ondo got nothing to do with what you're saying
2. Oyo began its imperial reign 1400 under Alaafin Kori, Bini began its in 1440 under Omo n'oba Ewuare...so please which began first?
3. Benin Republic has nothing to do with Bini. ...Bini empire did not extend past the edges of Eastern Yorubaland ie. Akoko, Ilaje, Itsekiri (if we count this as Yorubaland). Benin republic is named after the coastline used by Bini traders going to Kumasi....Like Biafra is named after the coastline used by the ancient Biafra


the entire landmass of Bini empire is not up to Oyo state, not to talk of the Entire Oyo empire





idiota, pls go improve ur skill of comprehension.

I said Ogiamien is the true ruler of Benin but the Omo n'oba n'edo (a yoruba descendant) buys the Ogiamien's right to rule...obviously you aren't Bini and I can't be wasting time with an igbo idiiot that has no history

Smiles , after seeing my rebuttal to decided to add number 3.

You are empty ... This is a map of Benin empire and oyo empire . *take away dahomey whch oyo didn't rule over for long and compare .

Also if that is how Benin rep. Got the new name WHERE does the word Benin come from?. And how did Benin empire get the name since the WHOLE. World was aware of the kingdom .

People like you are so proud , u can't even ask GOoGLE. For small issues ,

If you like add number 4= lmao

Done replying EMPTY heads .

The fact that you just said ONDO had nothing to do with. It and also that Benin republic (formerly dahomey). Also was never ruled by Benin kingdom shows you Actually didn't even do basic GST in the university .

I can only advise you to Google Benin empire ..
.next time. Think , ask Google then reply

macof:




I hope you aren't too blind and deluded to accept dat Benin Empire was not larger than Oyo state, Nigeria

Bro I don't know which one was bigger but I know which one had more rep and that was the Benin kingdom .

Also Benin doesn't do fairytale or myths of people turning into rivers or thunder coming out of warriors mouths ... Also oyo tried to conquer Benin empire but failed woefully and had to relinquish sovereignty of what is believe is part of ondo today so as to appease the binis .

Also the Benin empire came into existence long before the oyo empire and stayed influential long after the demise of the oyo empire , infact oyo begged Benin to intervene when illorin seceeded and fulanis started attacking oyo via ilorin. But Benin declined to help.

Also present day Benin republic (then called dahomey). Was ruled at different periods by oyo empire and Benin empire YET they chose to be renamed as Benin rep... Why do u think?

Also incase you don't know Lagos island and smaller isolated islands were under the protection of Benin empire in return for payment of taxes , the word "EKO". Is a Benin word which we used to describe the territory.


But as for which one is BIGGER in landmass ... Omo bros me no know

Am a proud bini man and I make bold to say I CONCUR ! If not for the fact that it was an abomination for a non-Benin man to speak bini back in the old days by now Benin would be a 'major' language second only to Hausa .

People who do not know facts don't know the IBO race/kingdom started after *EBO* meaning yellow man a prince of Benin kingdom was banished accross the Niger and the place was called *ONITSE* meaning "it's enough". Today it is called onitsha . And the whites who couldn't understand bini called them IBO (he-bo)

Ile ife learnt its bronze casting from Benin also it's crafts that's a fact , also bini kingdom was a a very diplomatic kingdom and thus we had lots of ambassaodors , thus the oranmiyan story

Truth be told this is a clarion call to all binis around the world to start putting pressure on FG to revert to regional system let's take ondo , delta, bayelsa and anambra territories back!

Eyepencil:
.

Brave man!

If Pa Awolowo was as brave as this man he would have been alive by now, instead he acted like a coward and drank rat poison the rest was history.

If Mr. Kanu existed durinng awolowos era he would have been executed , also that's why a very very BRAVE man callled ojukwu stayed and faced the army as they retook the eastern region and was arrested at enugu after it fell to FG forces .



Oh sorrryy ... The brave ojukwu had an urgent appointment and along with his family members fled ! Lol

Hahaha ... I remember when my attempt at being a fraudster almost got me kicked out of school... If not for it being a school matter since school security picked me up from the bank not police where I for dey today?


So whenever I see a person with questionable wealth flaunting it , I smile ... 1 day of suffering can erase 20 years of enjoyment .

Fast money is useless money

Soooooo because he is a lawyer and NBA. Presido says "Release him to me , he should be released?? Lols

Anyway EFCC can't hold everybody on suspicion that they will jump bail.

Though I won't go as far as calling it impunity or tyranny. ,I only believe EFCC has become more aggressive and this body language is what is needed to push through reforms .

I haven't seen where only 'FOOD' like rice and beans is given to kids , this should be the first of many other MOU's regarding the school feeding program .

And yes BISCUITS. Is one of the best loved snacks /food by kids so why are the wailers getting hypertensive?

Even the man in otuoke must be clapping for this initiative instead of the usual "PAY WORKER SALARIES". So money will circulate .

This is recycling money within our system ... Good job fG. , now we await implementation.

Besides another plus would be children actually going to school ( and not hawking)

Trailblazer1:
Bruce never mentioned Amaechi's name at first,
But a guilty conscience brought Amaechi out from his hole

Amaechi's sin of looting Rivers state to fund the dullard shall be revisited in due season

Meanwhile, I'm enjoying this #CommonSense Revolution

Ben Bruce must give the zombies #CommonSense by fire by force

You need reorientation ... The fact that TWICE. Ben Bruce tweeted but couldn't type amaechi name smacks of childishnes and cowardice .

And that coming from an elected senator shows you his lack of character , will amaechi beat him? Lol

masseratti:
and so freaking what?years later he came back and turned everything upside down

How did he turn it upside down?

nnachukz:
Meaning you didn't merit the job but you accepted it. You weren't working as hard as you ought but he allowed you and you continued. I must say today that you are worse than you were then. Our present state of affairs can testify to this. Zombies are free to empty their anger and frustration here, at least I am not the one sacking them from their job neither am I the one imposing new taxes on them.

A man said under him , his ministry built TWO. Refineries and laid 3,500 pipelines ... You should first go and check if it's a lie or not .

If it is indeed true , then which petroleum minister has made such achievements since ?

Ilovemystate:
Onitsha shopping mall with sixty shops it's 99% ready

That has to be a previous administrations project. Because 8 months can't build that place ... Unless they rushing (which isn't advisable )

Meanwhile looking at those roads I'm happy for the people of awka but please WHERE ARE THE DRAINAGE CHANNELS? Usually gutters are even done before road. Construction phase starts sef

Atlantian:
Why are you complaining ? When you have oil well at your backyard and you see people pumping them to develop other cities while your village remains in shambles for decades when you will realize that it is worth setting everything ablaze.

Have you checked out how much BAYELSA alone got a month ? What is the population of bayelsa and what is the state of infrastructure there??

Their dear governor-general( a colonial term) late DSP looted the state dry and they called it WITCH HUNTING. And gave him state pardon! And celebrated him .

I used. To think like u until I realised how I was being deceived .
The whites couldn't have enslaved without the help of our traditional rulers and. Chiefs , hold your governors and traditional rulers responsible before pointing fingers at northerners or FG

chesterlee:
How about a random Almajiri bombing his brothers up north just because of Western education...


That's the height of foolishness!

So your point of argument is -which action is more foolish

Please emancipate yourself from ethnicism and tribalism

Litmus:
Let's remind ourselves again, by showing the devastation, when the fight was about the irresponsible behavior of the Major oil companies in exploiting the Nation by destroying the land, thus depriving the people of their livelihood and refusing to compensate the people financially or infrastructurally.

Keep deceiving yourself that the fight was about the pollution and not GREED , have u seen ex-militants recently haha em be like Yahoo boys .

The beauty of ignorance is that it doesn't go until the deed has been done.
It is same ignorance that residents were hailing militants for kidnapping expatriates UNTIL when they couldn't get expatriates they started kidnapping indigenes. Today kidnapping is a thriving venture lol .

borrowing by a developing nation to fund project is very deadly esp when it comes to bubu and lie mohamed.

Show me a country , state or local county that doesn't borrow (especially for capital projects) and I will show u a dog that doesn't eat meat (vegetarian)

Fact is HE. Isn't allowed to ride if deaf ... Simple .

BUT... this is Africa if government cannot teach him a trade like tailoring , carpentry etc then well am inspired that a deaf man will rather risk accddents than go begging .

Also the moment she boarded , he informed her he's handicapped , so she and any other passenger knows the risk.

French is well down the list and only spoken in backwater countries! (Like France!)
If a Nigerian politician is saying this it is only because of the "gifts" that he has been given!

Well we are surrounded by FRANCOPHONE. Countries na ... Isn't it a good idea? And won't people (Nigerians) be gainfully employed as a result of this policy??

Besides in America Spanish is also heavily taught in most schools because USA is surrounded by Latino countries.

We are steadily realising our mistakes as a nation... Kudos to forward thinking cabinet

Remember the North east hasn't recovered .

Remember these militants started with kidnapping expatriates , indigenes no complain. .. then they started kidnapping indigenes even royal fathers .

Now they have started again some people are cheering them on , when ND becomes too hot don't run to south west o
