Words of wisdom! Niraland toddlers and resident robots programmed to do just one thing will never think or see reasons in this post.
Tukpa8: igbo is greater than Ijaw...? Oboy u be mugu.
Ijaw is one of the greatest tribe in africa...Ijaws are always greater than your online igbo.
ojukwu used Ijaw oloibiri oil money which the eastern government hijacked to sustain the war.....Great and infallible warlord and prophet Isaac Boro used only his personal money to sustain his republic for 12 good days.
The infallible great and almighty warlord Isaac Boro did the right thing which God sent him for by fighting Ijaw enemies called biafrans.
Isaac Boro will forever be celebrated by southern nigerians every year
Well I don't blame you small children I blame the fact that we ooem shops del phones una...Ijaw that has 90 percent illustrate population is talking, well i no blame una.
The fact remains that ijaw is not even in 5000th (if there is anything like that figure) most greatest tribe in africa. Stop selling this your over flogged junks.
Ojukwu used his father's wealth and resources found in the then eastern region, which includes palm and crude oil in Igboland to sustain the war.
Your adaka (gorilla) was nothing but a fly that can only be celebrated by some ijaw mumu. I don't know why you are making it look like the whole southern nigeria celebrates him.
I know it has been you illiterates plan all along to paint a picture of having more population than igbos..you see wetun ogogoro effect dey cos for una. Even the chief drunk called Edwin Clark can never make this statement.. The entire Ijaw population is not even up to the population of Aba metropolis so where are you getting your ogogoro induced narrative from?
Myth: Ijaws are usually seen as cowards because they can't join Igbo people and fight for Biafra and free themselves from Nigerian government injustice.
Fact: Ijaw people are some of the bravest people in the African continent, our Ijaw leaders like King Obuge Igiom of Abua, King Jaja of Opobo, King Koko of Nembe, King Ibanichuka of Okrika etc, were the first to challenge British colonial government and some cases engage the colonial government in fierce arm battles, in Contemporary Nigeria Kaiama-Ijaw born Isaac Adaka Boro remain the first Nigerian to fight the Nigerian federal government and declared Ijaw land a separate country of its own but only surrendered himself to the Nigerian military government when the Nigerian army began terrorizing innocent Ijaw people. When we compare this with a man like Azikiwe who ran away Esme Biafra at the height of the Nigerian civil war and switched side to Gowon or when we consider Ojukwu who left his people at the height of the war and ran away to ivory coast. It becomes clear who are brave and who are cowards.

cocolacec: How NIMASA DG Bashir Jamoh relegated Directors, made Deputy Directors heads of departments
More revelations have emerged on how the Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Bashir Jamoh, has allegedly been running the agency as if it were a private fiefdom rather than a public organisation.
Latest information made available by some senior staff of NIMASA exposes how Jamoh has relegated the roles of many of the agency’s substantive Directors to heads of units while he enthroned their subordinates, who are seen as his acolytes, to serve as heads of departments.
In government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), departments are usually headed by Directors (or General Managers as the case may be) while units are headed by Deputy Directors or Assistant Directors. However, in Jamoh’s NIMASA, the reverse appears to be the case.
Investigations by SHIPS & PORTS reveal that NIMASA has no fewer than 12 substantive Directors – more than enough to head the agency’s nine departments but only three of them are heading departments while the others are merely heads of units contrary to civil service norms. At present, Deputy Directors head six major departments of the agency.
The Departments in NIMASA, as listed in the agency’s organogram exclusively obtained by SHIPS & PORTS are Cabotage Services, Maritime Labour Services, Administration and Human Resources, Financial Services as well as Planning, Research and Data Management Services. The others are Maritime Safety and Seafarers’ Standard, Shipping Development, Marine Environment Management and Legal Services/Board Secretariat.
However, investigation by SHIPS & PORTS reveals that Jamoh placed Deputy Directors to head those department considered to be “juicy”.
The Deputy Directors in charge of the six “juicy” departments in the agency are Hamisu Gambo (Administration and Human Resources), Abdullahi Mustapha (Financial Services), Danjuma Babah (Procurement), Khurason Inuwa (Shipping Development), Aliyu Lawan (Maritime Labour Services) and Taiwo Olaniyan (Maritime Safety & Seafarers Standards). Curiously, five of the six are northerners while only Olaniyan is from the southern part of the country. Three of the five hail from Kaduna State like the Director General. They are Hamisu Gambo (Administration and Human Resources), Danjuma Babah (Procurement) and Khurason Inuwa (Shipping Development).
The 12 substantive Directors in NIMASA are Rita Uruakpa, Kabir Murnai, Aisha Jidda, Kehinde Bolaji, Heaky Dimowo, Isichei Osamgbi, Otonye Obom, Chris Amakulo, Sunday Umoren, Olamide Odusanya, Olubusola Akande-Obasanjo and Eric Oji.
However, only three of the Directors are heads of departments. These are Rita Uruakpa (Cabotage Services), Heaky Dimowo (Marine Environment Management) and Eric Oji (Planning Research & Data Management Services).
The nine remaining Directors, apart from Sunday Umoren who has been seconded to the Abuja Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control as Secretary General, are made to head units which are ordinarily headed by Deputy Directors or Assistant Directors.
The Directors heading units are Olamide Odusanya (Internal Audit), Chris Amakulo (Data Management), Aisha Jidda (Reforms Coordination & Strategic Management), Isichei Osamgbi (Special Duties (External Relations & Technical Cooperation), Otonye Obom (Deep Blue), Olubusola Akande-Obasanjo (Western Zone Maritime Labour Services), Kehinde Bolaji (Servicom) and Kabir Murnai (Western Zone).
The case of Olubusola Akande-Obasanjo, who is the Western Zone Director of Maritime Labour Services is particularly curious because her position means she has to report to the Head of Maritime Labour Services Department, Aliyu Lawan who is a Deputy Director and her junior. Also curious is the case of Chris Amakulo who is a Director in the Data Management Services Department serving under a fellow Director, Eric Oji.
Kabir Murnai’s posting as Director in charge of Western zone also raises questions. This is because he is the only Director serving as the head of a zone. The other zonal heads are all Deputy Directors because in the structure of NIMASA, zones are units and not departments. Some officials of the agency consider Akande-Obasanjo and Murnai’s posting to a zonal office as vindictive since Directors of NIMASA typically serve in the headquarters.
“What is happening in NIMASA should be a source of concern to the Federal Government and to all well meaning Nigerians. The Director General has created a very clumsy situation where some people now report to their subordinates. Imagine a Director reporting to a Deputy Director or to a fellow Director! It is unheard of that junior Deputy Directors will be made to head Departments when you have sufficient number of substantive Directors. It never happened in NIMASA before the present Director General’s tenure. It is a shame that heads of departments have their seniors serving under them. I wish the government will beam its searchlight on the activities of the agency under the present Director General,” an Assistant Director, who spoke with SHIPS & PORTS on condition of anonymity, said.
Another senior staff of NIMASA said Jamoh has “killed” seniority in the agency.
“He killed seniority. He killed discipline in NIMASA,” she said.
Another senior staff, who begged to remain anonymous over fear of victimisation by the Director General, said, “He prefers people that kowtow. He knows that Directors are not pushovers. They will analyse and ask questions, and he can’t stand scrutiny.
“He wants to take contracts and proposals to the Parastatal Tenders Board (PTB) and get express approvals without anyone asking questions. If Directors are Heads of Department as they should be, they will have to attend PTB meetings and and get express approvals without anyone asking questions. If Directors are Heads of Department as they should be, they will have to attend PTB meetings and scrutinize every request that comes before them. They will ask questions before signing off on any document, but junior officers will not. They will just do the bidding of the Director General,” he said.
The imposition of Deputy Directors as heads of departments is already taking a toll on the agency. For instance, the Senior Staff Committee, which is the body of Directors responsible for overseeing issues affecting officers from Level 8 to Level 15, has not been able to meet for over eight months. This is because Hamisu Gambo, who Jamoh made the Head of Administration and Human Resources Department, is a Deputy Director and therefore not senior enough to call a meeting of Directors.
“The meeting of the Senior Staff Committee is usually convened by the Director of Administration and Human Resources, who is usually not just a Director but a very senior one. A Deputy Director cannot summon a meeting of Directors, so the Senior Staff Committee has not been able to meet for some time now. It means matters affecting the senior staff, including disciplinary actions, are in indefinite abeyance to the detriment of the organisation,” the staff said.
He said the three Executive Directors of the agency namely Victor Ochei (Executive Director, Maritime Labour & Cabotage Services), Chudi Offodile (Executive Director, Finance and Administration) and Shehu Ahmed (Executive Director Operations) all tried to call Jamoh to order over the anomalies in the agency without success.
Recall that on Monday, SHIPS & PORTS exposed how Jamoh installed only workers of northern origin as heads of the agency’s four zones and Abuja Office. Also, all but one of the agency’s Port Service Controllers in all four zones are northerners, with most of them being indigenes of Kaduna State like the Director General.

Truthday: The overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom was a coup d'état against Queen Liliʻuokalani, which took place on January 17, 1893, on the island of Oahu and led by the Committee of Safety, composed of seven foreign residents and six Hawaiian Kingdom subjects of American descent in Honolulu.[5][6] The Committee prevailed upon American minister John L. Stevens to call in the U.S. Marines to protect the national interest of the United States of America. The insurgents established the Republic of Hawaii, but their ultimate goal was the annexation of the islands to the United States, which occurred in 1898.

Kaduna is not popular? I swaer sentiment will never make some people progress in life. Na only emotional decisions dem go dey take.
Imagine Kaduna that host most of military colleges and security training institutions is what someone is underating.
After Lagos, Ogun and Rivers, there's no state in Nigeria as popular as Kaduna state[/quote Who said Kaduna is not popular? Why are you guys like this?/Does it mean most of you jesr lack sense of history or what? Well my list... 1.Lagos 2.Oyo 3.Kaduna 4.Anambara 5 Enugu 6.Abia 7.Rivers 8.Edo 9.Cross River. 10.Kano] But in the real sense of it, the most popular Nigerian cities are more than 10 and I will go with.. Ogun Plateau Delta Sokoto Venue Imo
And according to the Constitution, Bola Tinubu is the president and commander in chief. That’s why the military is loyal to him as their C-in-C. The only force loyal to Peter Obi is the ESN/UGM turned obedients.
SpecialAdviser: I don't really care what CORN group will say. They are CORNfused morons. This thread is meant to give a non biased analysis of current issue with EFCC chairman sack. Hire and Fire has always been the trend of EFCC chiramanship. The problem is not sacking or appointment of EFCC Chairman.
The problem is to get a chiarman who can truly fight corruption without unnecessarily being a stooge of the president. From Obasanjo to Buhari, all Nigerian presidents 1999 to date have always used EFCC as a tool to fight opposition. None truly fought corruption. Is Tinubu going to be an exception? If Tinubu can truly fight corruption with the new EFCC chiarman, then he will win my support. But the hope is very faded. How can he fight same people that brought him to power. Wait when he constitute his cabinet and release money to them. Then we will know.
Below are the list of EFCC CHAIRMAN from 1999 till date and below are known corruption cases under Buhari administration begging for Tinubu attention. If he fights them, then he can be trusted. Nothing to celebrate yet. Only time shall tell.

savcy: I've never supported this man, but the manner he makes "the people" and "service to them" central in his speeches dey burst my brain. It's refreshing to have a President who has the people at heart.
Abegnews: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reacted to the emergence of the new leadership of the 10th National Assembly. Below is the statement by the President:
“The election of Distinguished Senator Godswill Akpabio, CON and Rt. Honourable Tajudeen Abbas as the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives for the 10th National Assembly is a good development.
I heartily congratulate them and also rejoice with the new Deputy Senate President Jibril Barau and House of Representatives Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu for their well-deserved victories.
Being elected by their peers as presiding officers and assuming the leadership of the National Assembly is a great honour that comes with huge responsibility. I trust that you will justify the confidence reposed in you by your members and many Nigerians.
I wish Senator Abdulaziz Yari, Honourable member Idris Wase and Honourable Aminu Jaji who enriched the process with their participation in the leadership election the best and a successful tenure in the 10th National Assembly.
I urge them to sustain the same level of enthusiasm they brought to the leadership contest in the discharge of their duties to their constituents and Nigeria.
My congratulations to all members of the National Assembly, across party lines, who, today, enlisted into the service of the blessed people of our great country.
We have all been called upon and accepted the responsibility to diligently and faithfully serve our fatherland with the oath we took. It is time to get on and move swiftly with the business of governance in the service of Nigeria.
As your President, I am prepared to transparently work with the National Assembly. Nigerians expect distinguished Senators and Honourable members to make laws and carry out oversight duties that will enhance the performance of government to achieve successful outcomes including improving their quality of life.
In the course of our work together, disagreements may occur. When we disagree it will not be out of malice, ill-will and quest to diminish the institution of National Assembly or any individual member.
TermuxDarkWeb: Nonsense. This man is crossing his bandry, first it was the innocent CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele and is EFCC chairman. He's creating Lifetime enemies, but it will surely hit him hard. Am not surprised it's government of Yourba he wants to fix only Yourba Muslims in higher positions. NONSENSE
Bros what is wrong in him doing exactly that? What is wrong in him appointing only yorubas in vital positions if not close to all?/where you not in this country when Buhari the personified dollars carried out the same deed? Besides, are you expecting him to keep the same gang of failures that dragged this country back to the stone age? Bros atimes make we dey leave joke reason well.
Are you saying Buhari is a bad luck? Go back to your father so that he can tell you who really is Muhammadu Buhari. It's not a curse, but I don't think anyone in family will ever get near even an atom weight what Buhari has achieved in his life time.
Between, I would have disowned that thing you call a father if I were his son.
I will respond to your father when I see him in his cage in the Jos wild life zoo.
ChatterHouse: Irrespective of our political differences
I respect PBAT with his actions thus far, he's winning admirers so far which is good for our democracy
( even though he will still vomit our mandate)
I task PBAT not to consider political vengeance of Isolation of SE region, so that he could harvest those vote in the future
SE has been Marginalised for a long time and appeasing them with a juicy position will be a good thing in the long run
Capturing the entire south should be goal of PBAT
But in the meantime I am happy with the dismantling of the Northern Mafia ;
Terrorism has been brought down to the barest minimum this month👏👏👏
Elrufai has been reduced to a Blogger insha Allah
Personally, me know say Jagaban no dey bluff, do you know that this is the first time in Nigerian history where the Fulanis aw not in the top 4 most powerful position in Nigerai? Don't you notice the silence of Fulani terrorist since he came in. Just wait make dem change service chiefs and new Police commissioners, if you see any Fulani idiot for your farm just throw knockout him go run leave him cows.
I know I didn't vote for Tinubu for some reasons sha but Tunubu no be Buhari, age or no age I will continue to challenge anybody here any amount carry am come, give this man 3 years, an testimonyy go full nairalamd
madridguy: I don't know much about these people but I wish Prof. Barth Nnaji can head the team. We need someone honest and transparent as him.
I agree with you but you should also remember the Nija has materials in every state and Tinibu j know and I repeat I know sabi were dem dey buy materials, trust me him no dey buy okrikka
Well, those people are there to meet a need that your fellow Igbos CAN NEVER meet. Whether you like it or not, they are cashing out and doing great things back home.
And they are the only sort of Yorubas you can find in the yeast - artisans and traditional medicine practitioners
Other than they, Yorubas have no business in the barren unproductive land
But your people flood the SW for the peaceful, calm, bubbly and sweet life that goes beyond sparcely situated storey buildings in a dull hostile environment that is obtainable in the villages in the yeast except for holidays
So Igbos came to lagos to snap pictures abi, we came to Ibadan to admire red roofs abi? Pls tell.me what j don't know
There are more Igbos in my hometown than Yorubas can ever be in the whole of your state
Shame!
Oga come to my place and see your people selling Agbo..infact the population of Agbo sellers can fill an entire local govt. We leave to other places cos it's our nature to do businesses anywhere we can not that your flood ravaged hamlets with red roofs are anything better than the smallest village in the east. Your.people travel out to other states as parasites, you contribute nothing, you give nothing, only Agbo sellers, archac mechanics and tathered looking fellows driving jallopies they call Taxi...notting more.
Also, you may be 'buying' land whose lease is about to expire...
Development is all that matters
Your people didn't bargain for short lease aggrememtt because they need some 99 years uninterrupted owambe..They have traded their future for owambe so stop complaining.
Your own father planted sour 🍇 grapes which you are now Harvesting and eating in the Sad-East. No wonder ,the unknown gunmen drove you out of your ancestral Land. You are now developing other people's Land. 🫠 🔔 shame.
So you are now comfortable typing from your new home in Benin republic abi..Fulani hewrdsmen are truly genius oo
My grandfather was offered land in Oshodi FREE OF CHARGE in the early days
Look at what Oshodi is today.
Continue overvaluing useless land in the yeast
Oga, the last time I checked, lagos is not your Fathers village, so why did you run away from the fruitful Ekiti that workers turn beggers without salaries
