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. Where are all those fools and zombies that are happy every day here that the same hypocrite fulanis redrew the borders of Igboland and are forcing us to accept it? Have you seen that the fulanis are hypocrites? This fool doesn't want to accept British drawn international borders but wants us to accept his people's hypocritical locally drown borders that ceded Igbo people into other states. Wike of Rivers states must be the daftest and dumbest human ever to love. Long live the great Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for opening the eyes of Igbo zombies. 272 Likes 21 Shares |

Although true he said that, but I feel punch is emphasising the sensational part over the economic reason he provided which is a fair point. Niger has no access to the sea and if Nigeria gets its act together infrastructurallyn, we will be the preferred route for Nigerien oil (and uranium). Imagine the attendant jobs and revenue that will accrue to Nigeria as a result of this. Not to speak of the geopolitical influence. China is currently reviving the ancient silk road that connected East Asia and Southeast Asia with South Asia, Persia, the Arabian Peninsula, East Africa and Southern Europe through road constructions, seaport development, railways etc. in central Asia countries, Pakistan, Iran and even Europe (read about it) If Nigeria were to get her acts right we should be reviving the ancient trans-Sahara trate routes strategically building influence in the countries that currently occupy those routes (Timbuktu, Agades, Tripoli etc) non of these North African countries or middle eastern countries would have "nothing on us". But we are to busy fighting ourselves to see the potential in ourselves 58 Likes 7 Shares |

“I told you the border between us and Niger is 1, 500km. And Niger (sic). I spoke to one French man and I had to tell him this. He spoke nonsense and I told him look, in 1885, you sat down and drew lines (boundaries). I said I have first cousins in Niger. There are Kanuris, there are Hausas, there are Fulanis in Niger Republic just as there are Yorubas in Benin. You can’t absolutely cut them off.” As far back as 1885 this man is still dragging Niger as cousins But igbos that where split from their eastern cousins In the Same Nigeria in 1960's you say they should forget them Meanwhile when is Yoruba asking for railway to their own Benin Republic cousins? 138 Likes 8 Shares |

See the idiocy of having imbeciles like this man in govt? Of what economic importance is Niger Republic to Nigeria apart from sharing neighbouring corridors with BH terrorists? Just hear the trash he is talking.

Not surprised Clueless & Incompetent Saifullah01:Stop trying to defend nonsense....if FG want to create an economic bilateral relationship with Niger then the expenses to create the locomotives for such regards should be made bilateral and not put the burden on the unsuspecting citizens of Nigeria. Do you know how far half of that amount can do to our ailing Medical Sector or Electricity Generation sector? SMH @how you are trying to defend incompetence. Mexzy4sho:That's not valid in any form unless the Niger FG also shares part of the costs, we citizens are paying taxes unjustly because of some personal sentiments...very lame and useless excuse. Alabama1237:Exactly my grouse with all the hardship and after completing they'll keep looting the proceeds if there'll be any though..because I don't see how Nigeria will gain from such even Benin Republic as industrious as they are gain more from us because of the differentials in population! atonement12:A young visionary leader will not be a bigot because good and exemplary leadership looks out for a bigger picture and think out of the box. atonement12:All this would be put in the right perspective by young visionary leaders that will create strong institutions and better policies rather than allow absolute power to corrupt individuals absolutely! atonement12:Your question is needless...leaders (senate & house of reps) are saddled with the responsibilities to create good policies to create strong structures so it's not a question of some citizens not wanting it. Howbeit as regards your notion of me been a kinsman ill say yes I'm a kinsman in the writing profession lineage with competent clout! Icumsa45:They have a narrow mindset and shortsighted in seeing a bigger picture. Howbeit we need to keep critical thinking and call out our clueless present incompetent leaders and come 2023 look out for a young visionary leader to vote for irrespective of his party , tribe or religious affiliations. I sincerely hope young visionary technocrats find and see a leeway to contest for the next election. We can't afford to continue with the past & present political charlatans hovering over the Nigerian political space. So We need young visionary leaders. @Seniorwriter 16 Likes 1 Share |
