President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that anyone who witnessed the civil war between the now rested Sovereign State of Biafra and Nigeria will never clamour for its return. He said, “Nigeria is a one united nation, which can never be divided by anybody’s selfish interest.” Buhari, therefore, called on his Ministers and indeed, Nigerians at large to pray for the country. The President noted the month of Ramadan as a special time when God listens and answers prayers of the faithful. He gave this charge Tuesday night while breaking fast with members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), mainly his Ministers at the presidential banquet hall of the Aso Villa, Abuja. His words, “It strengthens our resolve to build our country to make it stronger and to make sure that the incoming generations are sufficiently motivated to be patriotic. “It is no news that we are the biggest country in Africa, we are the economy engine of Africa, which are true by the way. But, we must always be patriotic in our dealings with others. “This (Ramadan) month of prayers and service to God, let us keep on these prayers all the times, believing that God in His infinite mercy will listen to our prayers, give us peace, security and better the economy once more, so that we can quickly rebuild and even do more for the country. “Let me assure that the time of Ramadan is making us more conscious of what leaders at every level ought to do, and leading the people is not a joke. It means accepting responsibilities for good or wrong,’’ he said. He further recalled the economic challenges and the agitations for the sovereign state of Biafra. President Buhari reminded the agitators of the Nigerian Civil war that claimed over 2 million lives. “We need a lot of prayer. Certainly, with the nation’s economy going down. We haven’t developed the agriculture; we are still trying to talk on those who will come and develop the solid mineral for us. “The militants in their various homes, we need to reflect very seriously on what happened between 1967 and 1970 where about two millions Nigerians lost their lives. “And at that time, as young military officers, you hardly heard of anything about petroleum or whatever money you got from it. “Look at what Gen. Gowon said; `To keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done’ and every soldier whether he has been to school or not knew what the General meant. “But, we were quarreling with our brothers, we were not fighting an enemy and then somebody is saying that once again he wants Biafra. “I think this is because he was not born when there was Biafra. We have to reflect on the historical antecedent to appreciate what is before us now and what we intend to leave for our children and our grand children,’’ he warned. President Buhari thanked the ministers and other members of the cabinet who have identified with his government despite all odds. Speaking on behalf of FEC members, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, expressed gratitude to the President for inviting them to break the fast with him.

Mr Dullhari it is already been divided by your selfish interest. Nobody wants war but if your fulani people believe that nigeria is your estate while others should shut up while you plunder it and rule it like an Arab then I say-Bring your war.The Odds doesn't favour nigeria. The SS you used against the Igbos are wiser, the US have banned you from touching US made bullets and the next war will expose the evil seeds the british have been sowing in Africa.

DONSMITH123: The age of using the propaganda of "Biafra = war" no longer fools anyone. Biafra has never been about war, it has always been about self determination. It is the insistence of Nigerians such as Buhari that "we must be united by force" that has been the cause of war He said, “Nigeria is a one united nation, which can never be divided by anybody’s selfish interest" So it is when Nigeria is "one united nation under Nothern selfish interest" that everything is fine? Story for the birds and Lord Lugard. Buhari, therefore, called on his Ministers and indeed, Nigerians at large to pray for the country. We are also praying for the soul of the Igbo woman beheaded in Kano and all others that are yet to be killed. He gave this charge Tuesday night while breaking fast with members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), mainly his Ministers at the presidential banquet hall of the Aso Villa, Abuja. Would that incoming generation include the hundreds of young Shia Muslims slaughtered in Kaduna? The hundreds of unarmed IPOB youth gunned down in cold blood? The areal bombardment of places the south south that has claimed many lives? “It is no news that we are the biggest country in Africa, we are the economy engine of Africa, which are true by the way. But, we must always be patriotic in our dealings with others Of what use are those titles if the life of the common man has become worse under you? "This (Ramadan) month of prayers and service to God, let us keep on these prayers all the times, believing that God in His infinite mercy will listen to our prayers, give us peace, security and better the economy once more, so that we can quickly rebuild and even do more for the country" Words of a born hypocrite “Let me assure that the time of Ramadan is making us more conscious of what leaders at every level ought to do, and leading the people is not a joke. It means accepting responsibilities for good or wrong,’’ he said. Buhari should stop decieving people with this sort of talk. Buhari, tell Nigerians that it was the inordinate ambition of the Northern oligarchy, of which you are a long standing member, to control the political and economic life Nigeria that made you people come down to the East where people were enjoying their new found freedom to kill over 2 million people. “We need a lot of prayer. Certainly, with the nation’s economy going down. We haven’t developed the agriculture; we are still trying to talk on those who will come and develop the solid mineral for us[ You Northerners definitely need a lot of prayers to convince international investors to come to an area known for sectarian strife. “The militants in their various homes, we need to reflect very seriously on what happened between 1967 and 1970 where about two millions Nigerians lost their lives Veiled threat? Northern soldiers like you killed the 2 million, it should be you people reflecting. You are stealing peoples resources in the name of 'one Nigeria' and the same time you are asking why they are militating? Joker! "And at that time, as young military officers, you hardly heard of anything about petroleum or whatever money you got from it" Come off it Gen Buhari. You young Northern officers knew what you were doing. It was all about the Oil. Who are you going to convince that you people did not know that Oil was a very valuable commoditie? "Look at what Gen. Gowon said; `To keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done’ and every soldier whether he has been to school or not knew what the General meant" Yeah, we also know what it meant. "To keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done as long we have no Oil and Seaport" "But, we were quarreling with our brothers, we were not fighting an enemy and then somebody is saying that once again he wants Biafra" You northerners slaughtered over 50,000 of your so called "brothers" in broad daylight but you were not quarelling with them? Chei! "I think this is because he was not born when there was Biafra. We have to reflect on the historical antecedent to appreciate what is before us now and what we intend to leave for our children and our grand children,’’ he warned I do not need to be born before the war to know my right to self determination. The disasterous history of Nigeria is a good reason for people like me to strive not to have my kids born in it President Buhari thanked the ministers and other members of the cabinet who have identified with his government despite all odds.
