Wow!
You're correct

Please don't be carried by the coincidence though: For A.B.I.A really stands for (A)ba (B)ende (I)sikwuato (A)rochukwu. The four major zones of the state, that's all.

Mrluv:
am about to buy this phone .is this phone a notch phone because all the pisture am seeing it does not look like one.is this phone a notch like tecno spark 4?

Honestly, you should be more concerned about the 4G-LTE bands on whichever Nokia you want to buy. Many of them dont even have MTN band 20, talk less of GLO's Band 28.

Still Nokia 5.1 Plus (Picture 1), is a notch phone,
whilst Nokia 5.1 (Picture 2) isn't.

iammo:


Do you blame our faction? when ibo are literarily I -i B- before, O- others .. after the sacrifice of king adeyemi in 1955, Azikwe got power and filled in the civil service with only Ibos, he even made ibo man the VC of University of Ibadan that we used our cocoa money to build, he almost made western region civil service the birthright of ibos until Awolowo kicked him out to eastern region

Just look at Nairaland owned by a free accommodating Yoruba man, see how you guys insult yorubas freely, can you try that on a website owned by a Fulani?

You invertebrate of a fool, which stinking cocoa money built University of Ibadan ? Why must you over-lie all over the place. You deserve to be kicked left, right and centre, blue-black.

The British, yes , your effing colonial masters ruled Nigeria until 1960, and every major national institution was built and run on merit by them. UI was one, until your grubby tribal politics reared its scratchy head. Oh, that's why University of Ife came to be.

Even this most respected "free accommodating Yoruba man" owned Nairaland owes its survival on Traffic of published stories, true and false stories especially sensationalised just by adding Ibo, Igbo or Ipob to the headings ..... and Nairaland's owner is smiling and his bank happier with him.

The only problem I notice here is that those who like to bash others, generally dont like to bashed. Tough luck and Good luck.

AceRoot:


Please note that this is not true at all. A Yoruba officer who had finished from Oxford before Emeka had the honour of being the first graduate to join the Nigerian Army. Sadly the gentleman joined the Education Corps of the Army and never became famous or infamous. I wish I could remember his name though.

Weird, but self correction must be made here: I searched and found out that I was wrong about The Yoruba officer commissioned as being the the first graduate of the Nigerian Army. Ojukwu remains the first. And the Yoruba officer graduated first, but from Cambridge though !!

That officer was Rtd. Gen. Olufemi Olutoye and I apologize for not knowing of his of meritorious service as the first Nigerian Director of Army Education.

He also said I made a lot of friends in the military. There was Emeka Ojukwu, who was a very good friend. I remember I visited him at Oxford University when he was graduating. I was then already a graduate doing post-graduate studies at Cambridge University and I went to visit fellow Nigerians who were also at Oxford University. I met Ojukwu there only to discover later that we would meet again in the Army.

Duru1:


There was no Nigerian who graduated from Oxford university and joined Nigerian army before Ojukwu. Ojukwu was the first Nigerian with university degree to join the army. James Olufemi Oluleye joined the army with Grade III teachers certificate. Victor Banjo was already Regimental Sargent Major when he was commissioned as an officer and later obtained university degree. Olufemi Olutoye graduated from Cambridge in 1956 and taught as a high school principal then enlisted in 1959.

Yes, I was wrong about the seniority and the the universities and you mainly right, but hear from the Rtd. General, Olufemi Olutoye

I made a lot of friends in the military. There was Emeka Ojukwu, who was a very good friend. I remember I visited him at Oxford University when he was graduating.

Ojukwu returned in 1957 and was commissioned a second Lieutenant, the first graduate to join the Nigerian Army.

Kneel like in the attached images you mean? But then again it is allowed when Nnamdi Kanu una God is the one being worshipped. Lol.

Hahahaha........ you just unwittingly helped me make it even clearer. Even to his ardent or blind supporters, Mr Kanu is revered and akin to a god, thus the pictures aptly align with "Prayers or receiving blessings are exempts" as I concluded.

The followers can be wrong and blinded but don't be vexed about it, for it can never be your effing business.

They need to start Lagos-Calabar rail already. They recieved offers to build it from American firms, Chinese firms and Russia. If only the Japanese would make an offer.

Sometimes as I read about this other much touted air-marked semi-coastal rail, I wonder why it is not to first start from the CALABAR end.

Politics / Re: How Gowon Released Awolowo From Prison And Not Ojukwu (rare Video Footage) by AceRoot(m): 8:39pm On Feb 06, 2020
Here is an excerpt from Awo's diary:

----------------------------------------
"I will let my Diary for 3 August speak briefly here.
(1) Crossed the prison gate into freedom at 7.56 a.m.
(2) Plane took off from Calabar at 8.30 a.m.
(3) Arrived Ikeja airport at 9.32 a.m.
(4) Saw Gowon at his Headquarters.
(5) Returned to Ikenne alone in triumph. At this juncture, it is of interest to narrate the nature of Ironsi’s proposed release as it was disclosed to me after my actual release. The plan was to take me to Ikoyi prison until it was judged safe to set me free. A cell had been prepared for me there which contained extra facilities . If I did not like the place, I could be placed under house arrest at Ikenne. If I wanted to travel abroad, every facility would be afforded me to do so. That was why my intended release was not announced, even though a plane had been dispatched to Calabar to bring me to Lagos. Until negotiation with me on the above lines had been concluded, Ironsi’s team did not want the public to know that I had been transferred back to Ikoyi prison or to my house under house arrest, with my own consent."

Oh, lest I forget; with or without help, delve into opensource computing i.e LINUX or UNIX in a big way. Linux especially, is completely free

In other words, Physics is the chassis, Mathematics is the fluid and Computing the shape and contour.

Ebenezar2020:
what you Indomie generation IPOB kids don't know is that the igbo names that Rivers and Delta State communities are bearing were all due to the igbo men who invaded those non igbo speaking communities and killed their men, forcefully married their women, renamed their communities to igbo names and gave their children Igbo names

That's how Ikwerre and Igbo speaking parts of Rivers and Delta found themselves having Igbo communities in their land cos the real tribe and identity of those people were cleansed and obliterated by Igbos who first settled in those communities as migrants.

LAI MOHAMMED. Happy new lies.
