VISA REJECTIONS


Let's talk about Visa Rejections

One of the reason why a lot of people get rejected at the Embassy for Visa with their own hands.

You apply for Visa and you keep displaying the unsaid things during your interview
Start telling people on different social platforms your funny reasons for applying
Your Intention for travelling doesn't add up.
You are using another person's account statement instead of the money should be in your account
Your account inflow is suspicious
Not getting other supporting documents to show proof

Since you applied for Visa, the embassy has been on a watch
What you say, What you Post Online, your statement of Account is being watched.

That's why you should Keep Calm and Low Key during important application like this.

This shit happened to me bro
I dated a lady we agreed to marry due then I was finercially down I still dey broke then
Suddenly this lady accepted a marriage proposal to another man and. Was acting funny to tell me
she has even fixed the marriage date and everything
She later sumon courage to tell me
She said that she is sorry
That someone in there church propose to her blalabla
I said ok since it's the man u want ur free to go
Due I fine out that she doesn't actually love the man fully
Becouse upon all the proposal she still come to my house for sex and all that
So I started withdrawing my self from her
She noticed she started crying that I wan to leave her
She beg me not to leave her even if she marry the man
I said ok I will think about
Relocated from my area to another place without telling her
I blocked her phone and the rest baba
This girl use another phone to call me

She can't deny it

you are very correct my brother, my ex that is married is still on my neck. Even though I have warned her to stop all that nonsense. These was her messages just last week here. Men needs to be very careful. I just had to block her so that she will concentrate on her marriage not on the ex

A teenager identified as Chinecherem Promise Albert, 16 has been reported dead.

He died in the early hours of Monday while performing incantation along with his 19-year-old brother, Chimezie Joshua Albert, a suspected internet fraudster popularly known as 'yahoo yahoo'.

A source who spoke with ABN TV on the condition of anonymity said the incident happened at one Eunice hotel located at Milverton Avenue Aba, Abia State.

Mr. Chimezie was said to have invited his younger brother, Promise to the hotel for incantation.

Promise however lost his life in the process.

ABN TV gathered that some suspects, including the chief security officer of the hotel Uzoma Okorie, one Charles Ezema, Ozioma Chukwuekele, Chukwuebuka Pius have been arrested for interrogation.

Security operatives have sealed off the hotel while mounting a heavy presence there to avoid a possible breakdown of law and order.

While the corpse of the deceased has been deposited at the morgue, investigations have commenced into the matter.

When contacted the PPRO Abia State command, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna confirmed the incident.

Oyeniyi Iwakun, a former postgraduate student of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna, who renounced his studentship to protest the killing of Deborah Samuel in Sokoto State, talks about his recent action and how it has affected him

Who is Oyeniyi Iwakun?

My name is Oyeniyi Oyewole Iwakun. I am 31 years old. I am from Ondo State. I have a first degree in Political Science from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State. I graduated in 2013. Subsequently, I worked briefly as a maritime reporter and did some other personal engagements. I did my national service in the Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State. I am a Christian although I am not religious. I am more of a liberal thinker.

Recently, you renounced your studentship of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, after putting in for a Master’s programme in International Relations following the death of a 200-level student of the Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, who was lynched by a mob for alleged blasphemy. How did you receive the news of her killing?



When the news of the murder of the young lady, Deborah Samuel, got to me, it was sad. The video was even circulated on social media of how she was helplessly stoned in broad daylight in the full glare of the public, while people watched in excitement. As if that was not enough, she died and people set her ablaze and made a video in broad daylight, and they were excited. The reaction that followed was that some major elites from that zone, who should have condemned the act, also came to justify the killing. It was highly inhuman. As an activist, I am an advocate for equity, equality and justice. This has nothing to do with the late Deborah being a Christian. If it had happened to a Muslim anywhere, I would have taken the same decision.

Why did you choose to study at the ABU?

I moved to the North to study after graduating from the OAU. I felt I should have a mixture of experience and be able to interact with more Nigerians, so I felt I should go to the ABU, Zaria, as one of the reputable universities in the North. So, I applied and was admitted. After the interview, being the first on the admission list for that department, they felt my performance was so exceptional and recommended that I take up Comparative Politics, an area where they were experiencing a shortage of staff as students did not want to go into the area. They felt if I picked that up, I would become an asset to the university. I already paid my tuition, got accommodation and some other things, but the ASUU strike sent us home. I was offered admission in January 2020, but I applied last year. I am a newly-admitted student.



What has been your experience so far?

My experience during my short stay in Zaria is one filled with a high level of discrimination, segregation, hostility and a sense of discrepancy between the North and the South. If you wear an English outfit, nobody would want to communicate freely with you except people from the South. At one point, I was at a loss trying to locate my department. I spoke to about five people until one managed to respond to me because I didn’t begin my conversation with ‘As-salamu alaikum’.

The OAU should pass as the most religious school in the world but the most liberal and peaceful. There is no sensitivity of being a Christian or Muslim or northerner or southerner. We are humans and students, and we interact as such. In the ABU, you cannot talk in a liberal form. You cannot express your idea on an issue. Before you know it, someone is already picking an offence. I lived off-campus, and in my apartment, I didn’t feel secure sleeping or talking to people. Those who have been there before you will tell you that you have to be very careful with the way you dress and be watchful about what you say even while trying to express your reservation about things that are going wrong.

You cannot put your shoes on the table and expect that you will come back to meet them. Some children will just come and pack them, and there is nothing you can do. If you mistakenly open your room; even while you are inside, some people will come in and pack your belongings and you cannot even report to the police. The system is totally compromised. So, when I saw the video, I felt that it had a similar feature to my experience in Zaria. I also saw that the level of the demand for justice was too poor, and as a human, I felt the only thing I could do to protest the unjust killing of Deborah Samuel was to renounce my studentship.

People have said you were hasty in your decision and that you’re trying to use the death of Deborah to chase clout and gain popularity. What is your response to this?

That is a diversionary strategy. In February 2006, Florence Chukwu, an English teacher in Bauchi State, seized the Qu’ran from one of her pupils, who was reading it while the English class was in progress, to ensure that the student concentrated. For this professional conduct, a Muslim mob was incited against her and she was killed as well as 20 other Christians. On a similar note, on March 21, 2007, a Muslim mob murdered one Mrs Christiana Oluwatoyin, a teacher at the Government Secondary School, Gombe. Her crime was that she touched a bag allegedly containing a Qu’ran. Even though she did not know the bag contained a Qu’ran. Without asking her, she was described by the Muslim mob to have desecrated the Qu’ran and she was murdered in cold blood. Up to date, we don’t know what has been done to the murderers of those people.
In 2016, the wife of a Deeper Life pastor told a Muslim man praying in front of her shop to move away as he was obstructing her business. She had repeatedly told this same man not to pray in front of her shop but for strange reasons, he continued to do so. The lady insisted and he accused her of blasphemy, incited a mob against her, and murdered her. There are countless instances where senseless violence and killings have been recorded in northern Nigeria. Shall I reference the religious riot and killings that took place in the North just because of an article written in the ThisDay Newspaper in 2002, when Silverbird wanted to host the Miss World Beauty Pageant in Abuja?


Even though I condemn derogatory statements and talks that can defame the prophet, God, or Jesus Christ, no one under the constitution of Nigeria has the right to incite a mob against another Nigerian. You cannot be a judge in your own case. When someone feels aggrieved, the law has a place for you to seek redress. In the South, you rarely see anyone being killed or a mob being incited to kill because Jesus Christ has been blasphemed. Every day, Ogun, Sango or whichever god from the South has been desecrated but nobody has been killed because of that. For someone to say I am in Zaria and something happened in Sokoto and I am concerned means that that person is inhuman and does not understand humanity. This is just a symbol of saying I and others like me must not be a victim before we raise our voices against the incessant irrational killings in the North.

How will you guarantee that this move does not come off as being an offshoot of Islamophobia?

It is a wrong impression. I am married to a Muslim. I am close to many Islamic families. I have friends, who are Muslims, and I have not been so hostile to them. If this incident had happened to a Muslim lady, I would have made the same decision. If it had occurred in the South, I would have renounced my studentship in such an environment. It is a way of protesting the inhuman killing. It has nothing to do with religion.

Have the school authorities reached out to you to discuss the renouncement or given a space for dialogue?

There have not been such moves from authoritative sources at the school. However, some people, who claimed to be representatives of the school, have called. We are in a country where insecurity is at its peak; so, I am being very careful. I have been receiving threats here and there from people online from our northern friends. Their actions toward me show that they are in support of the incessant killings. I have not got any calls from the registrar or head of the department or the school’s public relations officer. Nobody has called, and there has not been any assurance to show that students in the school are safe. Immediately after I made my renouncement, I left for the South.

My close friends and neighbours are more interested in my property there than in my welfare. They have burgled my residence to take whatever for you to know that the decision I have taken is the right one. Nobody is safe over there. This is not about the young persons in the North. It is about leadership failure. This is a matter of law and the basic essence on which the foundations of society were laid.

Do you intend to continue your PG study somewhere else?



I had already incurred expenses of over N500,000. I had paid my tuition and rented an apartment off-campus as the hostel was not available. I had bought writing materials and some household appliances. In the first instance, when I got to Zaria, I had to lodge in a hotel for a while. Those were the expenses I incurred. Looking at studying in Nigeria? Yes. But, the challenge now is I don’t feel safe anywhere again. The protest I have made has been seen as an affront to them and they have begun to threaten rather than condemn in totality and reassure me of my safety in the North. I have been condemned. Some have said I could go to hell or go join Deborah in the grave.

I did call the mother after two weeks she left, what she told me was I never reported to her, I was shocked and later explained what has been happening in our home over the phone.

Later that day in the evening, the mom called that the dad wants to see me which I didn't honour the requested.

PS: I am in Oyo State, my parent also lives in Oyo. Hers are in Akure but separated.

I didn't send her packing, even if I did on the contrary I think the safest place for her to head to is my parents or siblings who are living on their own.

After she left she expects that my own people call her to ask what happened.

since her parents are separated so what do you expect from their daughter? Look well to make sure both parents are still together before you marry their daughter. This is the mistake most of us makes today. Do you expect something different from Her?

nokspos:
Polygamy would have been fine if christianity didnt preach one man one wife in the first place. Yet many prophets married more than one wife in the bible and God never condemned them, something tells me it's one woman that wrote that part of the bible that says one man one woman, it doesn't look like what God wrote. Only the quran got that marriage thing right. Now women are beginning to accept that their husband could have side a chick but why not wife her and personalize this side chick to avoid the risk of STDs.

The only reason any man including me , wont want to be polygamous is because women dont want it , and the only reason women don't want it is because the bible preached against it and taking a second wife forcefully will most likely lead to early grave for the man because the first wife is against it. But in the real sense every man wants a second wife or more wives because biologically we are wired differently from a woman, God didnt create a man and woman the same way biologically. We may have similar brain and other future but our sex organ is different, a man produces millions of spam every seconds... to use it with one woman ? I dont think so. A woman was born with a hymen covering their virginal indicating only one man owns her while a man comes with nothing of such meaning more women owns him.

Woman are not seeing the advantage of polygamy because if you take the envy out of it, you can borrow money from your other wives , they can take care of your children while you went for a weekend party , you can do a family business , a man can have sex everyday or twice a day , but most women are not designed to do this expecially after they've given birth to a child, so your other wives can help you out on bed when you focus on other things, when you give birth to a new child , while you cant have sex immediately, your husband can have sex with the other wives. More women will be off the street and have a home too if polygamy becomes a norm in our society, your wives and your husband can save up money faster to buy properties and do bigger things, the advantage to polygamy is endless , but christianity messed up everything for us. I'm a christian and christian is a good religion but I doubt that marriage part is right

the Bible didn't condemned polygamy, but only uses it as one of the criteria for holding or occupying any of the ministerial offices in the Christian fold. Lamech was the first person recorded in Gen to be with two wives but full with troubles. Jesus did not make any comments on polygamy but rather said God permitted them because of the hardness of their hearts

Funflipper:
Then your country will be doomed for life. Why should the most useless and docile senate president ever in the history of Nigeria be rewarded with the presidency? Being a puppet and a zombie senate president for 4 good years is a clear indication that his administration will dwarf that of his puppet master in terms of unproductivity and backwardness.

it's was our stupidity that brought APC to power. if not Lawal will never be there today. Do you have your PVC?

a man that ruled as a vp for 8 good years and money was flying right left and center. He could not help Nigeria move forward for 8 years na now he will now move Nigeria forward after how many years. Is either Nigeria is made up of foolish people or people just want to be foolish if they vote another old man come 2023.don't vote for any old cargo to come and use presidential sit as a retirement plan. They should retire in their homes and support the country they milk to dry up. Be wise

this Man you are talking about is 2million times better than the living dead inside Aso rock today. PDP's Government was bad but it was far far better than what Tinubu brought on us today by supporting the living dead inside Aso rock. Thank you

LilMissFavvy:
2014 is a very very long time to abandon a building protect, exposing the house foundation to rain and decay. Atimes children do help their parents erect buildings if they have the ability, so why not do it now that your mom is alive, let her see it and feel fulfilled. I don't know what you mean by "you wanted to build a 5bedroom flat". Don't know if you are referring to a 5bedroom bungalow, so split the money into 80/20 ratio. Use the 80% share to complete your mom's house to a certain degree. You can use normal flooring, normal roofing, you can suspend painting, etc. Do the important things, and save the structure from damage.

Use the remaining 20% cash and buy your land and fence it round.

The Lord bless you real Good. More wisdom, God bless you. You have said it all. Let him be asking people that don't even know how his mother sacrifices all from birth to adulthood for him.

Barrister026:
Why won't I visit my mother's compound? Something that is a trek able distance from where I currently reside.

I was even there yesterday for a family meeting

Go and build your mother's house first, mother's blessings goes a long way. I did for my mother, today I'm the richest and most successful among her children. I was surprised to hear you said your girlfriend don't call her your fiancee for now because she has other options should in case you fail. Not even your wife should tell you what to do for your mother. Because if your mother no born you she no go see you to marry.

Barrister026:
One way or the other somebody has to develop it, if I the first son don't do it now that am financially stable. Then my younger bro will do it, trust me it won't make sense that way.
As for my mom she's aged already.

guy go and complete your mother's house and stop asking people that will definitely Tel you not to. If your mother no born you you for build house? Complete her house and remove shame from her eyes, then her heart will bless you.

SARSCoV2:
What were you expecting them to do?

They should all go all leave?

Sigh….

Their duty is to maintain law and order, and that they are doing.

let them go to Sokoto state to maintain law and order. Useless people on uniforms

7victor:
See Sokoto my state.

I finished MSc there.

I finished my PDGE in that college of education where the female student was murdered.

Chai!

I still remember brother Isaiah whom they used to stone whenever he was going to church.

I avoided wearing clothes that showed I was going to church because some people were stoned when they wear fine clothes and were openly holding Bible on the way to the church.


I remember my friend Victor who was so stoned and harassed that he had to pack out from where he was living.

I remember 2015 where everywhere in Sokoto, people were buying knives and cutlasses to use and attack Christians if Jonathan won the election. But Jonathan eventually lost.


God will help us all.

they did not only bought knives, their leaders also imported men from Chad, Niger Republic to come and fight for them

Elolam87:
This is a very sad scene to behold, are you telling me that these protesters are directly supporting the murderers of deborah.i can't believe my eyes.These people are criminals.The govt should handle this matter carefully,if not,it will degenerate into a full blown religious crisis.Lastly,it's not that Christians are too docile to fight, we don't serve a blood sucking demon

don't fight wait until they put knife on your neck. Abraham went to war, Jacob, Joshua, Deborah also David they all fought a good fight of faith.

*The Egg is About to Be Broken Again*
*Tim Akano*


Come, let us reason together, now that such exercise is still meaningful; before the sky gets dark and evil, and the falcon cannot hear the falconer.
Today, the Nation’s Ship is on fire. The Elites are shopping for new furniture to equip the burning ship, instead of looking for water and C02 to put out the fires. ’No be juju be that’?

Is a soft landing still possible for Nigeria at this stage, if yes, how? That is the exam.

Let me unpack the seven variants of madness inside Nigeria’s elite backpack that confirm the egg is about to be broken from the outside. Why this analogy? You ask
You see, when the egg breaks from inside, life begins, but when it breaks as a result of outside force, life ends. Before a State will collapse and disappear from the face of the earth, her Ship will pass through six harbours to load: Stagnation, Retrogression, Fragile, Failing, Failed and Disappearance. Which harbour is Nigeria’s Ship loading from presently?

*Madness N0 1*:

The ’TikTok Democracy’ that Nigeria is practising is a hallucination, it is not working and the ‘one-man-one-vote’ principle is a mirage. The vote of an idiot who adds zero value to the economy pays zero tax, zero education, and zero skill apart from voting skill carries the same weight as the vote of a man who pays tax and oils the wheel of the nation’s economy. Smart nations open schools, factories and Tank Farms, while Nigerian politicians open VOTERS FARMS, where voters are raised and cultivated like sheep. However you stack the cards, vertically or horizontally in a country where the uneducated young adults on the streets are more than the ones working in the factories and schooling, the Idiots will always have it. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Politicians breed and incubate the idiots, who in turn ‘’democratically’’ install one of their own as King. This is why. Nigeria is going downhill, from ‘’top to bottom’’. The Greeks have a word to describe this charade: IDIOCRACY.

*Madness N02*:
The life span of a multi-ethnic, multi-religious country forcibly held together and centrally administered is three scores and ten, then the superglue of force turns loose. As Nigeria approaches her 70th birthday, the Elites need to stop avoiding the thinking cap and see it instead, as an ally.

For instance, the USSR with a population of 280 million people, a union of 15 Republics; 14 heavy-laden wives and Russia, the condescending husband, survived only for 69 years (1922-1991) before the union was dismembered. The first wife to file for divorce was Lithuania, followed by Georgia while Kazakhstan exited last on December 16th, 1991. The curtain fell on 26th December 1991, the Red Banner flag was lowered, and the USSR, which Russia boasted was indivisible and unconquerable, collapsed like a pack of cards. Today, Putin and the Russian elites exhibit symptoms of malarial dreaming, nursing the hopes that one day, USSR2 will resurrect.

Similarly, the federal republic of Czechoslovakia (1918-1993) fumbled and wobbled until age 75, when she split into two distinct independent countries of the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Yugoslavia collapsed on the eve of her 74th birthday and violently split into 7 nations along ethnic and religious lines: Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia.

Paradoxically, each of the 7 independent countries is richer than Yugoslavia. For instance, in 2022, Croatia per Capita Income (PCI) is $16,500, Serbia, $7,100. Kosovo $4,500, Slovenia $27,000, Macedonia $5,700, and Bosnia and Herzegovina $62,600, while Yugoslavia in 1991 was just $5000. When you unbundle any unbalanced federation, a branch can become bigger than the whole, through healthy competition or a combination of other variables.

Sudan which gained independence on January 1st 1956 from the Anglo-Egyptian condominium was another failed union. Sudan had about 600 ethnic groups speaking over 400 languages. But by July 2011 at 55 years, the hitherto geographically largest country in Africa disintegrated and, from the ashes emerged two independent but antagonistic countries.

What does all this add up to? That a multi-ethnic, multi-religious country forcibly yoked together and unitarily administered has a lifespan of about 70 years before it collapses. (69 +75+74+55/4= 68+years).
Europe, the UK, USA knew what they were doing when they chose loose Federation with a referendum clause in their respective constitution and focus on building factories and Tank Farms instead of Voters' farms.

*Madness N03*:
Approaching the crucial 2023 elections flimsily, clumsily and lousily as the elites are doing is dangerous. The new game is nationalism, the old game- globalisation is preparing to go on sabbatical. Every smart nation is seeking self-reliance. This is the wrong time for countries to engage in acts that may lead to a crisis. The superpowers who could separate warring nations are busy warring in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq Yemen etc. Finland and Sweden may soon join NATO and become the new battlefields, plus the threat of a WW3 becomes a strong possibility as the days go by. *Nigeria should be careful, lest she becomes collateral damage*.

*Madness N04*:
STAGNATION/RETROGRESSION: how can Nigeria be a dwarf despite her humongous resources? Let us search for truth from the thick forest of facts. In 1992, Nigeria’s per capita income stood at $2,030. As of May 2022, it is the same: $2,083. Little wonder why JPMorgan recently (10/5/22) removed Nigeria from its list of emerging markets, saying the country has not taken advantage of high oil prices, unlike the Saudi Aramco which overthrew Apple on 12th May 2022 to become the most valuable company in the world at $2.4 Trillion.

For instance, UAE’s GDP has grown 112 times bigger than it was in 1971 with a per capita income in 2022 of $40,000.

South Korea grew her per capita income from $10,170 in 1992 to $28,075 in 2022, while Singapore grew from $27,060 in 1992 to $61,000 in 2022.
Wait for the bombshell: While 6 countries with a combined population of 183 million people generate $4.2Trillion in GDP, Nigeria with a population of 220million has a GDP of about $400B. (UAE: Population- 10m, GDP- $400B, Malaysia: Population- 33m, GDP-$366B, Israel: Population- 9.6M, GDP- $501B, Thailand: Population- 66m, GDP-$505B, South Korea: Population- 51.8M, GDP $1.8Trillion, and Taiwan: Population -23M, GDP $690B.
*Nigeria is not productive and can barely fulfil her destiny as it is presently structured*.

*Madness N05*:
LACK OF ELITE CONSENSUS: All smart and developing nations have something in common: Elite Consensus around a common vision. India's elites decided to produce Software Engineers for the world. In 1950, three years after independence, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) was established. Today, Indian Engineers are leading the world and remitting about $100 Billion yearly according to MOIA.
Taiwanese elites decided to control the heart of technology; in 1987, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) was established, and while it is considered to be a lesser-known company, in reality, rules the world.
The same can be said for the UAE. Their elites built a consensus around Hospitality and Tourism, through Dubai. The Chinese elites built a consensus around Global Supply Chain (GSC), which catapulted China to N0 2 in the global classroom.

*Here is the exam: who among the Presidential aspirants can govern any of these two countries successfully, and how*?

Country A: Four countries are merged under one unitary, central government: Saudi Arabia+ Israel + Iran+ Italy and form the *Federal Republic of SAIII*

Country B: Pakistan+ India + Bangladesh+ Ireland become the *Federal Republic of PIBI*

*SAIII=PIBI=Nigeria. QED. You gerrit or fogerrabourrit.*

Professor Mahmadu Jega posed a poser: ‘with the mountain of problems facing Nigeria, why do we have dozens of people coming out to vie for the post of President? The answer is GREED! My hunch is that each of the candidates and their supporters have a cleaver inside their pocket with which to cut their own share of Nigeria’s dying whale.

Make Abraham Lincoln the President, Winston Churchill, VP, Lee Kuan Yew the Finance Minister and Barack Obama the Chief of Staff to the President, forging elite consensus in any of those 3 republics (SAIII, PIBI and Nigeria) is not just a Herculean task, but it is an impossibility. *And no elite consensus, no transformation, no life after 70*!

The Sokoto Jungle Justice of 10th May 2022 provides a litmus test for all the Presidential aspirants. Any aspirant who cannot take a public stand on the constitutionality of jungle justice is not a fit and proper person to lead Nigeria.

*Madness N0 6:*
Pleasure without Productivity, Gains without Pains, Platinum lifestyle without Perspiration.
The country which received the lousy trophy of the world’s poverty capital in 2019 and has the world’s highest number of out of school children is also the country reputed to host the highest number of private jet owners in the world after America and China and one of the biggest Champagne consuming nations. *The Country dies when the two most thriving sectors of the economy are Politics and YAHOO+*!

*Madness N07:*
Nigeria, a Kidnapped State in Chains.
Nigeria’s situation is worse than what Political Economists call ‘’State Capture’.
On May 24 1966, through Decree 34 promulgated by the then Military Administration of General Aguiyi Ironsi, the ‘’FIRST NIGERIA’’ was kidnapped and chained down. Liberating a captured state is far easier than a kidnapped one with manacles on her legs and shackles on her arms. For instance, despite the Mafia’s notoriety, Mexico remains the world’s 15th strongest economy in the world.

Ironsi got it all wrong when he concluded that “All Nigerians want an end to regionalism, tribal loyalties, and activities which promote tribal consciousness and sectional interest…’’ The then Military Governor of the Northern Region, Gen Hassan Usman Katsina and Gen David Ejoor of the Mid-Western Region expressed strong reservation and opined that it would lead to future complications. Lt Col Ojukwu and Dr Nnamdi Azikwe celebrated the unification Decree. General Ironsi tapped his kinsman, Mr Nwokedi of the Civil Service to produce a white paper for the establishment of the ‘’Administrative machinery for the unification decree’’. Gen Adekunle Fajuyi of the Western Region maintained neutrality.
The rain began to beat Nigeria in 1966 when the Military thought it could decree against tribal consciousness – something which Europeans fought a 100-years war on. Unarguably, the relative peace which Europe has enjoyed in the last 80 years is due to the ethnic re-alignments in Europe since the end of WW2.
Some Nigerians ignorantly still believe that all Nigeria needs is a strong leader. Josip Tito was a strong leader of Yugoslavia, yet the country pulled apart along ethnic lines after his death. We lie when we say ethnic groupings are anachronistic. They are not.

The only thing missing in Nigeria’s unenviable history is not to have been governed by someone who died and rose up or an ALIEN from Jupiter!

We have tried a Technocrat (Shonekan); Benevolent Dictator ( IBB); Kill & Go General (Abacha- Kanuri); Academician & Ijaw ( Jonathan, PhD); Poor Teacher (Balewa); ‘Praying when looting is going on’ President (Shaghari); Yoruba &Engineer ( OBJ 1&2); Meyitti Allah ideologue & Fulani hero (Buhari 1&2); the Socialist & a Good man (Yar Adua); Youth &Middle Belt (Gowon); Practising Muslim (Abdusalam); Hausa &Revolutionist (Muritala); Igbo (Ironsi, Zik) as Presidents. We have tried an orphan (IBB) and Mr Integrity (PMB) and what do they all have in common? Similar results ranging from P7, P8 & F9. Nigeria has failed to become a nation but instead she remains an economic dwarf in the comity of nations despite the gargantuan natural and human resources she is blessed with.

Who among the current gladiators has a better profile and preparation than OBJ of 1999? The whole world saw in OBJ a second Mandela but OBJ could not “Mandelarize” This tells you that Nigeria's ailments do not respond to "strong leader" treatment.

Which Team shall we send to retrieve and unchain Nigeria from the kidnappers’ Den, then? We cannot count on Buhari’s successor for a successful rescue mission. There seems to be a thing that makes the ‘Aso Rock General Overseer’ become clueless, ball-less and goal-less, no sooner than he is sworn in.

Whatever it takes, I insist, we must preserve Nigeria as an entity. Without Nigeria, the hope of transforming Africa and the entire black race will remain a will-o-the-wisp.

*Soft Landing Pathways*
A regional form of governance, anchored on the 1963 constitution with a modicum modification (insertion of Referendum clause: Dr Azikwe was wrong to have opposed the referendum clause in the 1960s) is the most suitable for a multi-ethnic, multi-religious country like Nigeria, where every Region has power to prioritize her developmental agenda and pay 30% tax to the Center in Abuja for security, passport and currency Management.

*How*?
Nigeria is lucky that some members of the Military cabal who witnessed the kidnapping exercise and who know where Nigeria is chained are still alive. Yugoslavia lacked this. When President Josip Tito and a dozen of strong Personalities who stabilized Yugoslavia passed away, the country passed away with them. There was no one with the institutional memory and voice to call the boys to order when Mr Devil paid them a courtesy visit.
Nigerians should appeal to the *Owners of Nigeria* to untie it before they go the way of all flesh.

To this end, I recommend the immediate setting up of *NIGERIA RE-WORK EMINENT PERSONALITIES TEAM* *NREPT* whose Executive Secretary shall be Dr Father Matthew Kukah, and Chairman, Chief Olusegun Obsanjo and Co-Chairman, The Sultan of Sokoto. Other recommended members are IBB, TY.Danjuma, Gowon, Abdusalam, Pastor EA Adeboye, plus 12 opinion leaders, two from each geo political Zone ( G8+12).

Strange illnesses require strange medication. The main task of NREPT is to get the National Assembly to meet and invoke the DOCTRINE OF NECESSITY ON RE-WORK NIGERIA. This will empower the National Assembly to circumvent the laborious legal complications that have been militating against restructuring since 1993. In a word, *NREPT* should help us rescue Nigeria from the Kidnappers’ den, help us unchain it and drop her at the 1963 Roundabout from where she was kidnapped. Every Region will get her best Surgeons to stabilize her portion of Nigeria and make it work. We need at least 50 years to experiment with the Regional government, in the first instance.

By my rough projection, if Nigeria takes this bypass, within the next decade, Nigeria’s GDP will increase from $400 Billion to about $4.4 Trillion, which will be like adding the GDPs of South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Israel, UAE, Qatar and Malaysia together.

The manufacturing Western Region becomes South Korea at $1.8 Trillion, the mineral resource-rich Core North becomes a combination of UAE+ Malaysia- $800 Billion, Middle Belt, the Food Basket is Thailand at $500 Billion, and the innovative East is Taiwan at $700 Billion and the oil and gas rich Mid- West is Qatar+ Israel at $700 Billion.

Show me someone who votes down the above option and I will show you a rapaciously greedy, lazy man.

In conclusion, I will exit with the following five thoughts for the elites to ponder on, before I handover the microphone to Nigerians to ‘kontinu’ the conversation.

One, Nature does not allow a situation to be mismanaged for long. President Mubarak and the then Egyptian ruling elites realised this truism too late. They were humiliated out of power and all died unsung. The 70 million ’sleeping’ Nigerians who survive on $ 1.00 per day are like time bombs waiting to explode.
Two, there is no equilibrium in greed. The Yugoslavia ruling elites, trumpeting the indivisibility of their country just like their Nigeria counterparts, were busy having fun inside the locked room, with A/Cs and sound stereos on, Champagne in one hand, steak in the other; women of easy virtues rubbing their heads, and alas, they forgot to lock the "kitchen door" from where the army of angry, hungry and frustrated Yugoslavians entered the room and detonated the bomb which sent most of the elites to the Great Beyond as they ran out of time to activate their PLAN B. The second passport was useless.

Three, there is no equilibrium in poverty, nothing says Nigeria cannot go further downhill, if we ‘kontinu’ with this TikTok democracy without corresponding dividends.

Four, Nature abhors a vacuum. A Nation’s tree that does not bear fruits after 70 years may ‘’fall down and die’’.

Five and finally, Nigeria’s Ship has since passed the Tokenism harbour, nothing short of a complete remodeling will save the Ship from capsizing.

Homework: What lessons can the Nigerian Elites learn from the Yugoslavia experience and what do they understand by Collective Enlightened self Interest (CESI)? (100 marks).

how do you want us to read all these?

You are a terrorist. Embrace your religion of terror boldly. And stop speaking from both sides of your mouth.

Go and resurrect Mohammed to fight for himself. You are always fighting for your god because he is dead, fake and a scam.

Qur'an blasphemed against Jesus Christ by calling him a prophet. But Christians are tolerant.

End Islam for the world to enjoy peace.

Tell them my brother. With the reverence for your so called prophet Muhammad by all Muslim Nations which of them have known peace. All of them are still fighting themselves. A religion of pieces

Irijosa777:
After examining the incidence that surrounds the death of Deborah... I didn't blame the Muslim youth for their act but rather the Christian, especially the Christian youths in that area.
Are you going to tell me that Deborah is the only Christian student in that school or in that environment? she was beaten and stoned to death and got burnt in public but nobody came to defend her or fight for her, what are the Christians in that area doing? Again I asked are there no Christians in that place? Assuming the christians community came out to defend or to rescue her the story would have been different by now, worst still, the endline would have been "so so people died and many injured as result of fight because Christian and Muslim youths in Sokoto State, school closed down". but no body care but after her death we are now coming out to defend her.
Oh! vengeance is of the Lord, I forgot! defending a fellow sister is the work of God. I see!
We want peace but you don't give peace to people who don't want peace.
We hailed and applaud Isreal in a time of war but here in Nigeria we wait for the God of Israel to fight and defend us in everything. But after the deed has been done we will be crying for justice, we want justice? The government must bring the offenders to book.
Christians in Nigeria should please wake up.
It is my prayer that peace will continue to reign in Nigeria...
I pray that God will give the family of late Deborah the strength and grace to bear the lost.

The Lord bless you real Good. The best post since the incident occurred, thank you very much. Wake up Christians from thy slumber. Abraham went to war, Saul, David etc but today's Christians are waiting for God to come down to do the fighting for them. Foolish Christians in Nigeria

Reality3080:
people who are supporting atiku because they want to spite yorubas at least their eye go don dey clear now,it’s crystal clear atiku isn’t different from buhari n he might even b worse.

He has never condemned any shit done by d north,the day a Christian preacher was killed in abj atiku tweeted about arsenal football team but never made mention of d woman

Atiku will never criticize herdsmen no matter their madness n some people still want atiku to take over from buhari

Tinubu brought this problem on the west not the other regions. Because single handedly it would have been impossible for buhari to be president without the west greed. It's only God that can make Tinubu president not Man. Because Tinubu is part of the problem of Nigeria today. Jonathan was bad but a million times better than Buhari who Tinubu convinced the west to vote for. I will personally vote for Atiku if he gets the ticket or any flag bearer of PDP. Thank you

Duru1:
What an idiotic stream of thought. There is a considerable number of Igbo in the demography of the so-called South-South. There will be no so-called south-south when nation states replace shithole called Nigeria.

so who wants to be part of Biafra ?, Definitely not south south. We are not part of Biafra. stay in your Biafra with discrimination and domineering attitude
