There was a country is a highly biased account of what went down during the Biafran war.

It was written by an Igbo man who from all indications and utterances showed a great tribal bias against Nigeria in general and Yorubas in particular.

Why don't you get the book written by General Alabi Isama.

He was at the forefront of the war and had hundreds of war pictures which he took himself in his book.

His book is titled "The Tragedy of Victory".

Yes, he is Yoruba, but I can assure you his book addressed all the ills of the war.

His disdain for general Olusegun Obasanjo is very visible in that book.

If you want an unbiased version of the war, go read it. I have read it more than a dozen times getting new insights each time.

The book is overpriced just like any other material thing in Nigeria. I checked Amazon and the price is $278.99. How can someone who honestly desire people especially youths to get firsthand account of the war set a price that high. He simply want to cash in but that's outrageous.

conyema12:
The Hausa Fulanis always know when to activate Yoruba Mumu button...

You are probably right. I am really cautious of Buhari and his cabal. I used to be a Buharist until the middle-belt killings. Why make this pronouncement now, just some months to the election and when his popularity is dwindling. Surely to get Southwest votes. Once again our people are falling for it. People get carried away far too easily.

Munzy14:
So out of 180million u are the most intelligent and sound person. lmaooooo yaba left calling. na so e deh take start.
Take your sowore and leave in peace. let him go and try his power with ordinary local government chairman. I know he is just seeking attention. If he like let him stand behind the great awoLowo portrait. West cannot give him even 0.03% pf their votes.

Exactly the same thing a friend told me. Like the stupid old communication minister. "Go and stand for election as councillor or local government chairman". I believe you are of old school mentality and people of little mind like you will resolve all the issues facing the country. If that simple arithmetic up there is hard for you to comprehend, it shows most of you don't have a clue about the implications of your inability to vote wisely. Tell me, how much have your life improved in last 3 years. Ready to throw another 4 years down the drain.

Another ethnic sentiment. Who is talking about the West votes. You easily assume he is just Yoruba, but in reality he is more Ijaw. But who care. Maybe minions like you.

Munzy14:
Sowore cannot win even house of assembly seat in his state,Growing up I was taught to cut my coat according to my clothes. And it has been by breaking point in anything i embarked on. Talk about destiny, If yours is tired deal with it, not everyone is going through misfortune. Politics has taken a good twist, people are getting enlightened everyday. Don't create false stories to trend. Be original, if people like you, they will vote. If you stand by sowore, you are on a long thing.

What you call enlightenment is foolishness. Another four years multiplied by 180 millions getting ready to be wasted again. Goodluck to you all.

anuoluwapo884:
All this visitation won’t help your political ambition everything appears to me that all politicians are the same young or old this sowore has been jumping up and down it’s well

When your average politicians were hiding under the bed during military years and during June 12. These were the guys on the street. That's the same Sowore you are criticizing behind MKO Abiola during June 12 struggle. Am sure the problem is all the youths know is corruption and mostly inconsistent politicians. But if you are wise you can easily separate the wheat from the chaff.

Munzy14:
Sowore is wasting his time. Not after publishing malicious lies to become trendy.

So, how many of the people he published lies against have won a case against SR in court. You all are helpless lots that can't do anything against those who are plundering the country wealth and who have hold your destinies. And worse part is that you will be antagonizing those who can speak to power without fear. That's why the White man call you all poor and helpless Africans. That's how Africans were described right in my presence by a White man. Our people act and do stupid things. How can one be doing things same and expect a different result.

RETIREDMUMU:
These two ugly guys.

That sowore guy that secretly embezzled joint administration fund, the same guy that have low self esteem, the same guy that bad mouthed Jonathan's administration, dey contest, nah you won't win

imagine a presidential contestants having a mutual relationship with this notorious thug

Obviously your mumu never do. You are still suffering from Stockholm Syndrom.You need help to free yourself from your "captors". The same people you are empathizing with.

ikennaf1:
Watch that video where the sardauna of sokoto was asked why other tribes are obsessed over Igbos. the summary of his reply to the journalist is "the Igbo are industrious". and not whatever rubbish you said up there. All tribes in Nigeria make mockery of other tribes that isn't theirs.

it's because of igbo ingenuity that made your lots obsessed over the Igbo. or will anybody be angry when someone he is better than makes fun of him? you only get angry when the person making fun of you is better than you. Igbos never get angry when they are made mockery of by others. It's that obsession over the Igbo that made your lots to single them out for extermination. because you have what the Igbos don't have: violence. but God is a living God. have a nice day.

Umm! Liar. Saudauna point was that Igbo have a tendency to want to dominate others. He is right to an extent. But i do not support his point of view of giving job opportunities to foreigners instead of other Nigerians that are not from the north. My mum used to have a shop in a major market in Lagos. If you see the tactics the Igbo traders used to control sales there, not everyone can compete at that level. My mother used to complain but I used to jokingly tell her it's all about business competition.

IkpuNnegiEwu44:
How did he provide them with alternative? Is there any vacant space in Ojota that the Governor gave them? Fear God in Ur sentimental rantings.

Ojota is a choked up area, these transporters have spent fortunes in establishing their operational base along ikorodu road and Jibowu axis.

The right thing for the governor to do is map out an area at d outskirt of the city for these transporters to build their base if he doesn't't want them in d city.

The Ojota excuse is lame as that area is d most choked up area in Lagos with heavy traffic and no space for luxurious bus operators

Please see this video and maybe it will educate you. It's still a good way to start and a space was purposely created for them. But I still believe the government can do better.

dominique:
To be sincere, the luxurious buses are better off in Jibowu than Ojota

No. That's no more a good spot for that kind of business. In term of interconnectivity Ojota is better option because passengers can quickly connect buses going anywhere in Lagos.I really don't think these operators are thinking about the convenience of the people. But I still believe Ojota should not be the only option, and government need to provide them with incentives to cover loss of investment in their previous location.

bigfish3k:
the govt should compensate them adequately because most times , the govt keeps relocating them forgetting that it was their presence that attracted much development to that area.
even if they agree to move to a less developed place, just watch how their presence will bring about development to their new place, after which in ten years time another government will ask them to relocate again to another less developed place and the circle continues

the proper thing to do is to regulate them properly in a way that they will not cause hold up

Good point. That's why this society hardly progress. People in government only make short-term decisions that usually lead to failures in the near future.

afroniger:
The state government even provided them with an alternative yet they are still complaining. Sho! If they insist on not relocating to Ojota, they should consider Onitsha. Either way they are fighting a losing battle. Nobody or group can stop the itesiwaju of Eko.

It may appear that Ambode have the interest of the state at heart but Lagos need multiple of such parks at different locations that are easily accessible to people that live in different parts of the State. And spaces in this parks can be leased out to private luxurious bus operators. There is no point for someone living in VI or Lekki to drive all the way to Ojota in order to take a bus heading outside Lagos. The government is supposed to make decisions that make life easy for people and businesses. You need to know how people in government operate. There are other political private interests they are serving, not the general interest and convenience of the people. I am a born and bred native Lagosian.

Nonetheless, the Jibowu location is not a good spot for luxurious bus park, so these businesses still need a good alternative. And when you tell businesses to move to a new location, who cover the cost of their investment in physical structure at the previous or new location. You need to provide them with incentives. They are providing an important service to Lagos economy. Our local politicians are close-minded.

maxiuc:


Idiot you enter better country instead of you to hustle legit you are doing scam up and down

20,yrs small oooo

Increase the jail term

First challenge for him is he is not authorized to work with a visitor visa. But that doesn't mean is only option to making a living is via fraud. His life is finished.

samtol4:
Masherano plays in Chinese league .When your midfielders do not provide passes what will a striker do ?

Which Mascherano? The one that was at the top of his form back in the days or the one that went to China to make more money before he retire. He is only in the Argentina team because of his experience. What has Ighalo achieved before he went to China or how much experience does he have at international level.

lexy2014:
he wasn't really getting any supply. D first half was awful

Ighalo is not a skillful striker. He can't create something from half-chance. I mean, that's why he plays in the Chinese league. If he is good, he should be playing in a top league. What do you expect when Nigeria's striker to the world cup play in the Chinese league. I am sure this guy would not make the Eagles of the 90's.

jtwest:
I believe onazi and Joel obi should goan be selling the jersey at aba, not go to the world cup.

That Onazi tire me. He could not even complete a single pass.

Tyronne Ebuehi who came in for Abdulahi Shehu is definetely a better player than Abdulahi. And Ighalo should be replaced with Kelechi. Ighalo is not a resourceful No. 9.

obonujoker:
Israel is a loving country....

Really. Why not go there to found out. Ask Ethiopian Jews or other Africans living there. Or go to You Tube to find out.

NaijaMutant:
Roman Abrahamovic is a Russian Jewish


Chelsea Islamist Supporters should kindly join Man city



Or carry out a Jihad on Chelsea.

These are the so-called Jews. The real Jews, like the Lemba people of Southern Africa, are loading around parts of Africa and elsewhere in the world. God know.

[quote author= post=67955002]He's right! I'm happy for Ambode.
He's doing what's right at the state level. Hopefully people like him will become President.[/quote]That's why we need Omoyele Sowore as president. Not any of the old school politicians or someone who has been part of the system.

Omoyele Sowore for President. Take Back your Country, Nigeria.

Yemight474:
No one is to be blame for what happened between Salah and Ramos.... because Both of them are just fighting for what they want....
That's what life is.....

I really feel bad for Salah and Liverpool because if Salah was not injured, it would be difficult for Madrid to win.
S.Ramos on the other hand was the one that makes Madrid the champion today.....
to Madrid fans he is their hero but to some people like Liverpool fan... he is just a despicable person......

This life ehnn always play pranks on us...
I just wish Salah come back with greater ability...
There is a reason behind everything that happens in this world....
I just wish the reason behind what happened to him (Salah) is for his own better career.

Yes, they were both contesting for the ball but the devilish Real Madrid defender deliberately locked up his arm in order to stop him. He then fell full weight on him. This is so sad. I was looking forward to see him shine in the world cup. It was deliberate.

Lonestar124:
Good riddance.... Civilization has nothing to render in these, if surely he is caught stealing.

I stand with jungle justice!

I am almost going to say that what you wish come up against you as I know of people who were wrongly or mistakenly accused of a crime, and were burnt to death. You are less of a human and do not deserve to be one.

Mutemenot:
that na first move, next na to send EFCC to shake am small. No wise man these days showcase his wealth as we all know there is no clean way to make a large livin :og in this country .

That's the fool paradise you all live in. Can you imagine someone saying you can't make clean money in a country of over 180 million people. The issue is most of those you see are those flaunting ill-gotten wealth online. Those who make their fortune genuinely won't surely do that. Be productive. Create something. Even if you make a profit of N10 on a product, imagine selling that to just 1 million users every year. That's how honest and creative people create wealth. I will be glad if any of you here can point to the business this e'money guy own. Maybe he is government contractor. Why is the focus always on his cars, houses, or clothes. Some people are genuinely interested to know the value he is adding to the system. Maybe we could learn one or two new things.

ednut1:
Disgusting pple dem go still call God

Seem to be an African thing. I remember a Nija lady I hired who rather than pursue company business interest went to corner a client to get her new business started. She had the gut, irrespective of the fact that what she did was ethically wrong, to say God will judge me. For What? I wondered. I never owe her a dime. She took advantage off the fact that I used fly in and out Nigeria as I live outside the shore.

SalamRushdie:
Does he need to be named before we know where this is headed , didn't Dino inform us of the plot to frame him 3 weeks before it even happened and yet the police went on with it

I wonder why you people keep on supporting the most evil people on this planet who are responsible for the terrible situation in the country.

It's easy for someone in a position of authority who committed a crime and who know that those connected to the crime as accomplices are already in police net, to shout to the world that the police will try to frame him.

Terminator1234g:
It saddens me to see people mainly who are IPOB supporters, some igbos and some Christians say terrible and sickening things about Palestine. IPOB and IGBOS claimed to be marginalized and are treated badly and yet they still come to social media to lambast the people of Palestine. Truth be told their issues is very more alike and the same things they claim they are a victim of by the NIGERIAN governmant is the same thing the Palestinians face with Israeli government.
Furthermore I saw threads yesterday about the killings of protesters and I saw a lot of sad a hateful comments coming from the people I listed above.
If there's indeed Justice in this world the Israeli government will be charged and prosecuted by the ICJ.
Some airheads support Israel because they feel they are more similar to them that the Palestinian Muslims, is that life?
The only way the world can take IPOB and IGBOS who claim to be a victim of the Nigerian government is when they themselves stand up to what's just and what's what!

What is life?
What is this world?
How long will we be here?
What's next?
What's what?
Who is a Muslim?
Who is a Christian?
Who is igbo?
Who is Yoruba?
Who is Hausa/Fulani?
At end of the day we only find out we are humans and what make us truly humans is something called human feelings for one another.
Have a nice day!

Good points. Thought the same. God has made a point of what will become of people who are hypocrites. Funny part is the people they are supporting are simply living a lie. It is said that "they left Black and came back to the holy land as White". Meanwhile the true Hebrews are scattered all over the world, most especially Africa. Search the internet for the story of the Lemba people in southern Africa. In fact their ancient priestly Cohen DNA is more than most that reside in present day Israel.

Afam4eva:
Did he not do a feasibility study before venturing into a business with limited raw material?

As much as i respect Aliko Dangote, i think he's overrated as a business man because i can count how many businesses that he has failed at even as Nigeria's business man.

It's obvious you don't know what it mean to be a successful entrepreneur. If you don't want to fail then it's not for you.

Solstar:
I love the way you ended it. It is not a spiritual attack, it is a religious attack.

Nigerians spend all their time fasting and praying and forget to get creative, then they run around to find fast money in order to buy imported food, cream, phone and wrist-watches so they dont have to waste time being creative when they should be worshipping God. Now churches run 5 services on Sundays, and a midweek service on wednesdays, not forgetting tarry nights and vigils.

The mohammedans are not left out, they pray a fuccking 5 times a day, and are constantly checking their time to make sure they dont miss a date with Allahu, what remains of their time is spent separating quarrels between their 4 wives, the rest is spent reminding the kids of the need to go to the Alfas and Imams for tutelages.

So, what time do we have to plant tomatoes or engineer apples that can grow on our climate.

We are not poor because we are religious, we are poor as a country because we have found an excuse in God.

Yet money does not grow on trees. Dangote should have known better. He has been making serious business mistakes of late, one of which is building $18B Refinery when electric cars and solar panels are the future. I really question the true source of his wealth. How are his projects financed ? From which sources ? He pays back loans at the speed of light, well, almost. Just to create impression of 'source' ? It could be these politicians just financing him till his retirement and eventual demise. It could just be a ponzi that takes money from early mules and paying the new politicians. I envy the man, I truly do, but if I have access to such money, then I should be able to buy up Nigeria and put everyone on a universal basic income from what I can do with that money.

As it is with the tomato factories, so will it be with the refineries in the next 20 yrs. This is the new world order.

You totally got the part of your write-up on Dangote Refinery wrong. Even if electric cars are coming on board soon, that soon is different for different parts of the world. It could a century for less developed countries. By then, he already recouped his investment. And no matter what, petroleum will still be around for a long long time. And so would be gasoline and diesel based vehicles.

This guy need to go back and understand what constitutes an online business.

I just read somewhere that the inventor has been "grabbed" by the US government. He now live in California according to the news story.

http://www.collective-evolution.com/2018/04/25/this-man-one-ups-tesla-by-inventing-an-electric-car-that-never-needs-charging/

That's likely the end of the guy dream. The western powers will want to control such technology. He is surely naive if he thinks the US will help realize his dream.

authority2006:
You guys need to watch that YouTube video, it is less than 3 minutes, you will be amazed. A business man has been pouring millions of currency into the man's dream. Standard work station. Different working prototypes in the workshop. Angola and Brazil are already making moves to buy some prototypes. The man who is bankrolling is ideas said that it is time to commercialise it. This is no joke as the car is already finished and moving.

Thanks for your point. It's almost a perfect model for success. Someone with an idea and brain, and the other with cash and the spirit of entrepreneurship.

lookingfly:
So wakanda really exists.......nigeria,keep forming giant of african

If only we Africans realize what God has "locked" up in us. Imagine the level of diversity alone. Diverse people brings diverse thoughts and views to solving problems. You will be biting your fingers asking how could we have been this "stupid" all along.
