owobokiri: Obudu cattle ranch was Okparas work. The palm tree revolution, the industrial areas, endless schorlarships abroad, hotels, schools. Okpara was able to build an eastern economy that rivaled that of south Korea... I am sure the starter of this thread is not from the SS. It looks and smells like another "sophisticated" shyte from the dangerously "progressive" ones.

IF OKPARA DID ALL WHAT U ENUMERATED ABOVE, WHY IS IT THAT THE IGBO WANDER ABOUT ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH FROM LAGOS IN NIGERIA TO ALL AFRICA COUNTRIES , EUROPE COUNTRIES....


OKPARA, AZIKWE, OJUKWU HAS DOOMED ALL IBO PEOPLE FUTURE

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on
Tuesday said he was not losing sleep over
recent attacks on him by presidential aides
and a former Federal Commissioner for
Information, Chief Edwin Clark, because of
the letter he wrote to President Goodluck
Jonathan.
Obasanjo, who spoke with The PUNCH
through his media aide, Mr. Tunde
Oladunjoye, also said he was ready to meet
with the Peoples Democratic Party’s Board of
Trustees members, over his reported feud
with the President.
Insisting that he was not at war with
Jonathan, Obasanjo said he was unfazed by
the letter written to him by Clark and the
rantings and abuse by the President’s aides.
The Ijaw national leader had in his letter
dated January 3, described the former
President as an unrepentant troublemaker,
liar and manipulator.
In the 10-page letter titled, ‘Let The Truth Be
Told Before It Is Too Late, Clark said, “Mr.
former President, I will also like to use the
language of your daughter, Iyabo, to describe
you to Nigerians.
“You are ‘a liar, manipulator, two-faced
hypocrite…. You have egoistic craving for
power and live a life only men of low self-
esteem and intellect thrive.”
But Oladunjoye said that Obasanjo was not
disturbed by insults and abuses being hauled
at him because of the December 2, 2013
letter to Jonathan.
The media aide said, “I was with him
(Obasanjo) this (Tuesday) morning in Abeokuta
for about five hours. He received some
visitors. He was full of life. He was in high
spirits. He was playing Ayo game. He bears
no one no grudge.
“After being with him for about five hours, he
told me, ‘Tunde I want to go and sleep.’ That
means he has not lost sleep, regardless of
abuse, rantings and insults. If I am to use his
words, I will tell you that Baba still dey
kampe. ”
On the plan by the PDP’s BoT to settle the rift
between Obasanjo and Jonathan, he said that
the ex-President had received the BoT
members in the past, adding that he was
ready to receive them again.
Oladunjoye said, “I want to tell you that
Chief Obasanjo is not at war with anybody,
including President Jonathan.
“He has always maintained that his doors are
open to all Nigerians, regardless of political
affiliations. If members of the BoT decide to
visit him, it will not be the first time. If he is
in the country, he will receive them.”
Meanwhile, the governing board of the
National Human Rights Commission will meet
not later than two weeks from now to
consider major issues before the body.
One of the issues is a memo from the
Attorney-General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice, Muhammad Adoke (SAN),
asking for an investigation into Obasanjo’s
letter.
Adoke had in the December 23 memo
addressed to the Executive Secretary of the
NHRC, Prof. Bem Angwe, requested the
commission to investigate the allegations
bordering on human rights violations
contained on pages 9 to 10 of the letter.
The commission’s chairman, Prof. Chidi
Odinkalu, told one of our correspondents on
Tuesday, that the board had yet to meet over
the memo because some members travelled
abroad.
He said, “I want to ensure that everything is
done under the authority of the council. That
is what we proposed to do. We will meet not
later than two weeks from now. Some of our
members are not in the country.”
Odinkalu also debunked insinuations that the
commission had received a contrary order
from the Presidency not to investigate the
letter again because the PDP wanted an
amicable resolution between Obasanjo and
Jonathan.
Besides, he explained that the NHRC was an
independent commission not subject to the
control of the President.
Odinkalu said, “To begin with, we have not
received anything from the President. What
we have received is a referral from the office
of the AGF on a matter of public interest. It is
important for people to understand.
“Our rules provide for possibilities of
receiving referrals from the AGF, state
Attorneys-General or high courts. What we
are dealing with is well provided for in our
rules.”
Referring to Section 6(3) of the NHRC Act
2010, Odinkalu maintained that the
commission was not under the directive or
control of the President.
The section provides that, “In exercising its
functions and powers under this Act, the
commission shall not be subject to the
direction or control of any other authority or
person.”
In the memo, Adoke had asked the
commission to investigate the allegations
snipers were being trained by the
government to terminate the lives of
Jonathan’s political opponents.
The PUNCH also gathered on Tuesday that
security agents had not begun investigations
into Obasanjo’s allegations.
A senior police officer confided in one of our
correspondents in Abuja that the police did
not have record of investigations of the
allegations made by Obasanjo.
The officer described the issues as political
which, according to him, will be resolved by
the parties concerned.
He said, “Do we have any record of such an
investigation of Obasanjo’s allegations? I will
say we don’t have such information with us.
In any case, there is no way we can investigate
the former President and those close to him
would not know. Such an investigation cannot
be hidden and the police will have to
comment on it publicly if it is true, but for
now, no information or record on any probe
against Obasanjo.”
The Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba,
could not be reached for comments as he did
not respond to calls to his telephone. He also
did not respond to a text message sent to
him.

SHOW ME UR PROOFS THAT TINUBU IS NOT A GRADUATE OF TORONTO UNIVERSITY.....

BASELESS COMMENTS

Stella Oduah, Nigeria’s Minister of
Aviation who is embroiled in a scandal
of towering proportions in the
ministry, faces new integrity questions
as her Masters’ degree has been
challenged by the United States school
which supposedly awarded it.
Her resume, which she presented to
the Senate as a ministerial nominee in
2011, indicated she obtained a
Master's degree in Business
Administration (MBA) from St. Paul’s
College Lawrenceville, Virginia, United
States.
But SaharaReporters has learned from
the President of the college that it has
never in its 125-year history had a
graduate school or graduate program.
The Provost Vice President of
Academic Affairs, and the Vice
President of Institutional Development
said in response to our inquiries, “We
don’t offer any graduate programs
here.”
Similarly, the school’s website states:
“Saint Paul's College is accredited by
the Commission of Colleges of the
Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools to award baccalaureate
[bachelor’s] degrees.” There is no
mention of graduate degrees.
The Minister’s documentation shows
she received an undergraduate degree
in accounting from the college in
1982, but Dr. Claud Flythe, St. Paul’s
current president, could neither
confirm nor deny this during a phone
conversation with SaharaReporters.
Further verification with the Office of
Alumni Affairs is also currently
impossible, the school said, because
the college has been closed since June
2013 to loss of its accreditation.
“[Oduah] realized very early in life the
indispensability of a sound education
in her growth plans in life and
therefore pursued her education with
all diligence and sense of purpose,”
her documents claimed, adding that a
determination “to have the best
education at the highest level”
prompted her stay at the Virginia
college in 1983 for the MBA
programme.
As her public relations machinery
marched on, in December 2012 The
Sun newspaper published an article
headlined “Stella Oduah: An Amazon of
transformation,” which lauded her
“MBA from St Paul’s College,
Lawrenceville Virginia USA.” The story
also praised her for being an official
who brought her “rich educational
background to bear on the aviation
sector by automating revenue centers
in all the agencies and parastatals to
boost their revenue profile and
enhance transparency and
accountability in the system.”
In October, SaharaReporters broke the
story that Mrs. Oduah, a former
campaign manager for President
Goodluck Jonathan, purchased two
bulletproof BMW cars worth $ 1.6
Million (N255m) through the Nigerian
Civil Aviation Authority, for her own
use.
Following an investigation, the House
of Representatives Committee on
Aviation dismissed the Minister’s pleas
of innocence and all her rebuttals
during her testimony. The
committee’s report, which was
subsequently adopted by the House,
declared that no budgetary
appropriation had been made for the
purchase of the cars, and that the
NCAA proposal for their purchase was
rejected.
President Jonathan also set up a three-
member administrative panel to
investigate the matter, but he
immediately travelled out of the
country with Mrs. Oduah and Colonel
Dasuki, the National Security Adviser
who was to serve as a member of the
panel. Not only did the panel submit
its report much later than the two
weeks it was given for the assignment,
Mr. Jonathan has refused to release its
report.
Mrs. Oduah’s new certificate questions
are certain to feed into national
concern about her credibility as an
elected official, but also about Mr.
Jonathan’s credibility, and about the
nation’s security apparatus which
verifies official documents offered to
the Senate for official nominations.
If Mrs. Oduah deliberately deceived
the Senate, it remains to be seen if
the Upper House will be sufficiently
motivated to take up the matter with
the Executive.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s aviation industry
continues to face a massive challenge,
with struggling airports and airlines, as
well as financial and administrative
pitfalls that hinder expansion and
development.

creazor: Stop dis ur idea of segregation. Very soon my bro, with d way things are going, u will understand why no state goverment (not even in d north) goes against d igbos.

THAT'S YOUR OWN PERSPECTIVE

creazor: Compare that number to the myriads of Igbos in top football.
My point is to make u see dat it is wrong to go against dem. We are one.

MENTION THE PLETHORA OF IBOS IN TOP FOOTBALL LEVEL OF PRESENT

[quote author=nnenna.1]Irrelevant.

I was talking about Igbo relevance and dominance in Nigeria as evidenced by this thread.[/quote]I'VE TOLD U THAT THEY ARE RELEVANT BECAUSE OF THEIR VICIOUS ACTIVITIES...


DOES THIS THREAD PORTRAY A GOOD RELEVANCE ABOUT THE IBO?

creazor: And for d umpteenth time, u're wrong again. Igbos settling in Lagos is mainly because of business. If u did economics in school, den u shld be able to rmbr d factors for siting an industry. The ports and d Muritala International Airport are d very reasons for their great numbers, plus Lagos is a former capital.

WHY CAN'T THE IBO SETTLE IN THEIR OWN LAND FOR BUSINESS?
IS IBO LAND NOT FRUITFUL ENOUGH TO RUN A BUSINESS?
IS THERE NO OTHER PORT IN NIGERIA APART FROM LAGOS?
WHY CAN'T THE IBO STATE GOVERNORS SITE.INDUSTRIES FOR THEIR PEOPLE?......


TELL UR GOVERNORS TO DO THE NEEDFUL........

creazor: When it comes to d bad things, u say its Igbos. But when its d good things, u say Nigeria. All of a sudden u rmbr dat Nollywood is Nigerian and Okocha, Kanu, Mikel etc are Nigerians.
Pls lets stop all dis childishness and "have respect for all Nigerians irrespective of their nationality".

SEGUN ODEGBAMI, RASHEED YEKINI, MUTIU ADEPOJU, GABA LAWAL (HAUSA)......

IT'S NOT ONLY IBO THAT ARE PERFORMING WONDERFULLY IN FOOTBALL BUT ALSO OTHER TRIBES ......

creazor: My friend, u r very funny. After all dis claims, u still patronise them? Smh. And pls tell me, whr can u get d original ones from??
Majority of d flats in Lagos are occupied by....? D busy ports in Lagos....? The major markets in Lagos....Fashola knows better.
Lagos' commerce is run by them. QED.

SELF CONTAINED ROOM(FLATS ) GET LEVEL
FLATS DEY AJEGUNLE, OJU ELEGBA..........

SO THE IBO NEGLECT THEIR OWN UNFRUITFUL LAND AT THE EXPENSE OF DOMINATING/DEVELOPING ANOTHER MAN'S LAND......

IBO IN LAGOS ARE JUST HUSTLER SEEKING FOR GREEN PASTURE........

WHY IS IT THAT THE IBO ARE LEAVING THEIR STATES TO SETTLE IN ANOTHER MAN'S LAND(NIGERIA-IBADAN,LAGOS, AFRICA, EUROPE, ASIA?......)

[quote author=nnenna.1]Yes, bad and good news alike, even if other Nigerians are involved....example is this thread. Hence my reference to their cultural relevance and dominance in the country.[/quote]YORUBA CULTURE IS RELEVANT BEYOND NIGERIA..

YORUBA CULTURE IS RELEVANT IN BENIN REPUBLIC , CUBA, BRAZIL.....

WHEN IT COMES TO EDUCATION YORUBA IS DOMINATING.............

creazor: Do u need more names?
Innoson, Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Adichie, Prof Chike Obi, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Obi Ezekwesili, and the various makers of electonics u tink are made in japan, plus d makers of d 'italian' shoes we wear on a daily basis.
I am only discouraging such statements against Igbos.
BTW, I tink they are d most creative Nigerians.

YES, IBO ARE THE MOST CREATIVE IN MANUFACTURING OF SUBSTANDARD GOODS, ESTABLISHMENT OF BABY FACTORY, KIDNAPPING,PIRATING OF BOOKS,CD.........

IBO KWENU!!!!!

creazor: You need to reassess your statments and stop being a tribalist.
Importation and sales of electronics, mechanical parts, cars, goods in general, igbos are at the heart of it. Even retail drug sales (chemists) and supermarkets, they are thr.
For a country whose manufacturing industry is very weak, even the little we have is dominated by Igbos.
U talk of entertainment, sports, just name it!
Its either u dont knw these or u intentionally refused to recognise them because of ur ulterior motive.

YOU MEAN ALL THOSE ROAD SIDE DEALERS IN SUBSTANDARD MECHANICAL SPARE PART, PIRATING OF BOOKS, SUBSTANDARD GOODS....

IN ENTERTAINMENT IBO ARE NOTHING...
MUSIC INDUSTRY: YORUBA OWNS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. BEFORE U CAN BE A SUPER STAR YOU MUSH DEFINITELY COME TO LAGOS TO MARKET YOUR MUSIC.. YORUBA ARE LEADING IN THE NUMBER OF ARTISTES THAT'S REPRESENTING NIGERIA BE IT IN HIP POP, GOSPEL, FUJI. E.T.C .......


NOLLYWOOD - IS OWNED BY NIGERIA NOT BY THE IBO BECAUSE COMPRISES EVERY TRIBE IN NIGERIA

SPORT - YORUBA N HAUSA ARE NOT LAGGING BEHIND IN THIS ASPECT ALSO.... RASHEED YEKINI, SEGUN ODEGBAMI, GABALAWAL.......

[quote author=nnenna.1]Good move by the federal govt.

I see that the bigoted dingbats are chanting "Igbos Igbos". Not minding that the majority of the states listed in the article were Northern, SS and Middlebelt, plus a jot from the SW by way of the so-called fountain of knowledge.

Igbos on their mind 24/7. I guess we are the most culturally relevant group on NL.[/quote]IT'S BAD NEWS THAT MAKE IBO RELEVANT ON NAIRALAND......

Kponkwem: Does Nigeria have reputation to protect? A country that kills its citizens, fails to provide basic necessities, steal collective resources, discriminates openly, entrenches tribalism and mediocrity does not have a reputation.

Its unfortunate that the country has descended to 'everyone for his/herself and God for us all'; anything goes here. Its only football that restores some semblance of progressiveness here.

PUT THE BLAME ON GEJ
