The Full Meaning Of The NAIRA by Nobody: 8:12am On Feb 19, 2015
WHY PA OLUSEGUN AREMU OBASANJO HAS
JUMPED POLITICAL SHIP IS THE NAIRA :
NAIRA = Never Allow Igbos Rule Again.

By : Woko Eze Icon, 17th February 2015.

There is an Igbo adage that says "A man who
does not know where the rain began to beat
him cannot say where he dried his body".

The rain that beat Nigeria began as far back as
1914 (the amalgamation). But let's fast-
forward that date to 1960 (the independence),
and 1966 (the first military coup), you will
observe that Nigeria was already soaked. Well,
let me go directly to the main reason for this
article.

It should be recalled that sometime in 2013, Pa
Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo vehemently opined
that "those asking him to join the APC should
seek adequate medical attention immediately".
The question you will ask me is: "where is
Obasanjo anchoring his political ship now: APC
or PDP?" the answer is APC, at least you saw
what he did to his PDP membership card some
days ago.

What may have prompted a well respected man
like Pa Obasanjo to jump ship at this critical
moment? The answer is that Pa Obasanjo left
PDP since 2012, but hanged around to frustrate
the federal government in a bid to keep the
1973 agreement (I will tell you about it).

For those not familiar with Nigerian history, let
me remind you of some events. In 1966, there
was a military coup (the first ever) in Nigeria
led by Colonial Chukwuma Nzeogwu (an Igbo
man born and brought up in the North). The
aim of this coup was to eradicate the wide
spread corruption amongst Nigerian political
office holders by eliminating the politicians, but
the coup ended up claiming Northern top
politicians as its casualties, this led to a
counter coup by the Northerners, Chiefs among
the pioneers was, Murtala Mohammed, Yakubu
Gowon , Danjuma, Mohammadu Buhari (the
2015 APC presidential candidate) and
supported by Olusegun Obasanjo (note that I
intentionally removed their military ranks).

This counter coup is the bloodiest coup in
Nigerian history, claiming the lives of Nigerias
first military head of state Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi
(an Easterner ie Igbo man), the governor of the
then Western Region Lt. Col Fajuyi (a Yoruba
man), and many other innocent citizens.

During the Northern counter coup of 1966,
there was a continuous massacre of all
Easterners in the North and West (both military
and civilians) for over 6 months. The
Easterners pleaded with the North to shield
their sword and embrace peace but the plea
went to deaf ears.

The Easterners concluded that since they can
be no longer safe in Nigeria that it will be best
for them to declare their own country and live
in peace within it. This was the birth of Biafra
and the beginning of a bloody civil war in
Nigeria.

The civil war started in 1967, and by 1970
about 40% of the Easterners have been
murdered by the Northerners and their Western
allies which Obasanjo and Awolowo was in the
forefront.

The war ended in 1970, and was a pyrivic
victory for the North and West against the East
(Biafra). And the victors gathered together to
take an everlasting spoil on their victims (the
Old Eastern region) . This was the agreement
that was nationalized in 1973 With a new
currency : the naira! And Obasanjo became the
head of state 3 years after that (in 1976, after
Murtala Muhammed ).

After the war it was agreed by the North and
West that on no account should an Igbo man
(any body from the Biafran region) rule / lead
Nigeria again. This was symbolized in the
national life through the new currency (the
naira).

In 1973, the then head of state Gen Yakubu
Gowon scraped the currency that was in use
(the pounds) and replaced it with a new one
(the naira). Naira is an acronym for = Never
Allow Igbos Rule Again.

From 1967 till 2009 (42 years) nobody from
the old Biafran region ruled Nigeria (as agreed
by Obasanjo, Awolowo, Gowon and their
cohorts) but in 2010 God personally thwarted
their plans and brought president Goodluck
Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan (a man from the old
Biafran region) to power, to lead Nigeria but
the anger of the powers that be was kindled
(can they fight God?). They started camping
against him, and today Obasanjo has declared
support for the 1973 agreement (the naira),
against president Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe
Jonathan.

Mr. President sir, What hurts them so much is
that you don't walk in the old ways...

• It HURT them you ended their subsidy fraud…
• You sold off NEPA and ended their fraudulent
NEPA contracts, it HURT them….
• You removed ghost workers from civil service
and reduced their wealth, it HURT them…
• You refused to renew their oil blocks license
monopoly, it HURT them…
• You handed NPA verification to a third party
and eliminated port frauds, it HURT them...
• It HURT them you stopped the bootlegging in
fertilizer distribution…
• You HURT them by stopping hoarding of
petroleum products, where Nigerians sleep at
filling stations while they make astronomical
profits...
• You pinched them where it HURT most by
making sure elections are free and fair…
• You HURT the cabal by looking into their face
and telling them “Nigeria belongs to us all”...
• You restored rail system that gulped billions
of naira yearly, it really HURT them…
• You made Nigeria proud by insisting cars are
now produced in Nigeria with 70% local
content, halting their money laundry schemes,
it HURT them…

• They have bullied you, lied against you,
insulted you and made Nigeria insecure just to
distract you and be able to get back to
business as usual…But I promise you sir, they
will not bully our votes!
• We will go to the poll blindfolded for you…for
their wickedness when they get what they want
this time will be too costly!

* I pray that any other Obasanjo troubling your
government shall break his/her membership
card in Jesus name.... Amen!

VOTE PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN
COME 28TH MARCH 2015 FOR A NEW
NIGERIA.

It is very clear now that President Goodluck
Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is winning the war
against principalities and powers, thereby
liberating Nigeria from ancient courses cum
chains of godfatherism. Nigeria is free at last!

Stupidity isn't punishable by

a hell of a population drop.
This is one of the highest level stupidity i have ever seen.

What a well packaged rubbish article...
Re: The Full Meaning Of The NAIRA by huptin(m): 8:25am On Feb 19, 2015
When you people are busy painting your bullshit conspiracy theories at least try to be consistent...... weren't some of your people saying Obj intentionally placed Goodluck beside a sick Yar'adua to ensure that Goodluck emerges president upon Yarádua's death? Did Obj not campaign vigorously for Goodluck in 2011? isn't it a fact that this same Goodluck secured more votes from the north in 2011 than even in his own south south?

The truth is Obj has contributed far more to Goodluck's success than people of your ilk....... the major reason that Goodluck is even struggling to win the coming election is because of people like you and your stupid conspiracy theories. Keep telling these stupid stories and watch your candidate lose horribly and then what will you do? Jump ship to the new president and continue your psycophantic adventures.

God can use you to safe or help person, that doesnt necessarily mean you love that person. God has used OBJ to give SS/SE power and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
