seunmsg:




Lagos as FCT was geographically and administratively different from Lagos state. Shehu Shagari appointed John Jatau Kadiya as minister of FCT while Jakande served as the democratically elected governor of Lagos state. Both existed side by side with clear boundaries until IBB moved FCT to Abuja in 1991 and Lagos FCT was merged with Lagos state to form a bigger Lagos state. Stop trying to muddle up facts when I’m here.

I just confirmed this fact.

Romance / Re: Advice Needed.........should I Call Her Mum Or Lock Up. by NIKEDEEDS(m): 11:45am On May 21, 2023
Jovialjune1:
Lol I love her business prowess, because she understands that in any business, she has to make profit and she did

She is smarter than you in the sense that she is not willing to compromise because of family/future family, in order to cancel any form of favouritism or compromise in future endeavours cos we all know family and over familiarity are the first to destroy businesses,

She is wiser than you in the sense that she can blatantly cancel arrangements with you and her parents, she didn't lie to them, whereas you lied to your mum on who did the catering, next time be upfront to your mum and own up to whatever consequence it will cause

My advice is not to explain yourself to her parents, own your shit and learn to put business first regardless of family, never start what you can't finish cos when they see that you compromise once, they will keep coming back, recommending their friends to you, quoting any figures to you knowing you will accept it, and that my friend, is the beginning of the end of your business.


100% on point...

Nnamani And Igbo’s Uncharted Political Future

By

Jide Oluwajuyitan

May 18, 2023

Search for power through exploitation of the innermost fears of a group in multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious nation like Nigeria will remain elusive. That much we saw with the defeat of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi in this year’s presidential election. I think Peter Obi’s rebuke by Chimaroke Nnamani, former governor of Enugu State over what he described as his “devious opium served to Christians within sections of Nigeria and to Igbo domiciled in different sections of Nigeria which in his opinion has now set “Igbo political trajectory back 24 years” serves as a sad reminder for those who in future might want to follow Obi’s path.

However, the credit for “deflowering the virgin innocence of political patriotism and nationalism in Nigeria belongs to Obi’s Igbo illustrious forbears. He and Igbo current inheritors of old prejudices are merely waging their forbear’s uncompleted war.

It all started when Zik as President of Igbo State Union, launched in 1943, sowed the seed of Igbo nationalism when he declared “it would appear that the God of Africa has specially created the Igbo nation to lead the children of Africa from the bondage of the ages . . . The martial prowess of the Ibo nation at all stages of human history has enabled them not only to conquer others but also to adapt themselves to the role of preserver”. That Zik’s fiery speech was to set the stage for Igbo’s many battles, first against weaker neighbours and later against the other two dominant groups, the Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani.

The Igbo battle against Yoruba interest started with the launching of Egbe Omo Oduduwa in 1948, five clear years after inauguration of Igbo Federal Union. Some of the Yoruba aristocrats involved in the formation were Sir Adeyemo Alakija, Dr Akinola Maja, Sir Kofo Abayomi Chief Bode Thomas, Chief H O Davies and Dr Akanni Doherty.  Strangely, Zik and his Igbo leaders who saw the Egbe’s inauguration as an affront promptly labelled it ‘enemy of Igbo and 27m Nigerians’. According to September 8, 1948 West African Pilot editorial, “The Egbe Omo Oduduwa must be crushed to the earth . . . There is no going back until the fascist organization of Sir Adeyemo Alakija has been dismembered”. This was followed by physical assaults on the persons of the leaders of the Egbe and damage to the houses and other properties of some of them”.

Then the rivalry between Igbo and Yoruba took a new turn. Lagos had provided the political and economic platforms through which Zik, the adopted son of Herbert Macaulay and Lagos’ white cap chiefs, attained prominence. But perhaps on account of his hostility towards Yoruba interest, Yoruba’s fractious political leaders buried their differences in 1952 to enable the AG led by Obafemi Awolowo form a government. For deciding to carry their own destiny in their own hands, Zik and his supporters labelled Awolowo and the Yoruba tribalists.

Fighting their forbears’ battle, Igbo political leaders mobilized against Awolowo’s 1959 prime ministerial ambition just as they did against his 1979 presidential contest even with an Igbo vice presidential candidate. The battle of Igbo against Yoruba interests only got worse in 1993 when MKO Abiola, despite winning a landslide victory across the country, secured only one state from the east.  The battle went on with Arthur Nzeribe issuing a public statement where he made it clear that he and the Igbo people were opposed to Yoruba presidency.  Abiola’s pan Nigeria mandate was eventually annulled and replaced with an illegal interim contraption. His heroic battle to reclaim his mandate while in Abacha’s detention was frustrated by Igbo leaders including Odumegwu Ojukwu who served as Abacha’s special envoy to Europe for the sole purpose of de-marketing MKO Abiola. In 1999, as against Olu Falae, Yoruba’s mainstream candidate, Igbo leaders settled for Obasanjo, an imposition of the northern hegemonic class.

In the race for the 2023 election, the battle against Bola Tinubu by Igbo leaders, their media and unquestioning Obidients have been no less vicious. Following his victory, agenda of Igbo elders, Igbo intellectuals and Obimedia was to try to delegitimize his victory.

Igbo battles with the Fulani hegemonic ruling class from the north with whom they share a common world outlook on how Nigeria should be run has been no less vicious. Igbo as the beautiful bride has always found their Fulani suitor irresistible. Their 1959 (NPC/NCNC) alliance was designed to taunt and hurt Yoruba leadership who had offered to serve under Zik leadership. But trouble started with Ahmadu Bello’s northernization policy that saw to the exit of all Igbo from northern bureaucracy.  Their marriage of convenience finally collapsed following the disputed 1962/3 census.

Following the constitutional crisis that followed the 1964 election, it was Zik who by seeking the support of the military over his stand-off with Balewa, that first exposed the military to politics. With 33 Igbo military officers, 10 Yoruba and eight from the north, the Igbo thought they were invincible. Young Igbo military officer’s sympathetic to Zik’s cause later staged the military putsch of January 1966 that led to the killing of all northern military officers and northern political leaders while they spared their own military and political leaders.

Nwafor Orizu who served as acting president in the absence of Zik, according  to Richard Akinjide, one of the surviving ministers, refused to call on the most senior minister to form government as provided for in the constitution. Ironsi, commander in-chief who we were told foiled the coup, insisted he could not guarantee the safety of the ministers except power was ceded to him. Dr Nwabueze, one of Ironsi advisers was said to have drafted Decree 34 of 1966 turning the country from a federal state to a unitary state. But it turned out a pyhrric victory for the Igbo as their northern rivals fought back in July 1966 leading to pogroms and the civil war of 1967-70

The two rivals regrouped again in 1979 as NPN and NPP. But the alliance again collapsed just before the 1983 election over sharing of spoils of office.

In 1999, the two rivals again came together under a PDP umbrella. For 16 years they did what they knew how to do best - sharing the resources of the nation through privatization and monetization policy. Again, what brought them together was to throw them apart when Saraki became a whistle-blower in the theft of N1.7t by children of PDP stalwarts in the name of fuel subsidy despite importing not even a pint of fuel.

 In 2023, infidelity over PDP rotational policy ripped them apart. Atiku Abubakar appealed to the northern ‘born to rule’ ethnic sentiments while Obi successfully exploited the ethnic and religion sentiments of his Igbo people. The two ended up as sore losers.

The ongoing battle for Senate presidency of the 10th assembly is all that is needed to know there is no love lost between the South-South and their Igbo Southeast brothers.

With 64-year Igbo vicious war against Yoruba and her interest, with relationship between them and their Fulani suitors often defined in the main by mutual suspicion and with their South-South neighbours now savouring their freedom after years of Igbo domination, it is not difficult to see how uncertain Igbo aspiration for leadership of a multi-ethnic Nigeria where trust constitutes a building block is.


Imagine reading this masterpiece with little or no knowledge about history..

Some people are just to good at reconstructing lies to truth using half baked facts.

Pls is it wise to leave an insurance job of 40k monthly salary in Lagos mainland to a new job in my field of studies(production) of 60k salary plus accomodation and Health insurance (salary is subject to review after 6mnths probation period)?

In the insurance job, there's a chance of hitting million naira commission on mega transactions but such big transactions doesn't come easily.

Pls kindly advise, I am very confused.

God bless you all�

Leave that insurance job. My first job was insurance sales. Ours was even better because it was even Bancassurance.

Most of my colleagues that stay back because of comission are still stuck there. The only thing I advise them now is to collect reference letter, look for funds to block Account and apply for canada PR.
