Very good initiative from NNPC. Indigenes of ondo state don't make noise and one hardly notice their status in oil production, but just because of 10 gallons, some people no dey let us hear word. . If to say dem be like ondo, e be like even Rivers, delta and Akwa Ibom for be parasites.

Bros, talk about what you know. Ondo governments, since 2009, have signed over 100 MOUs with nothing on ground.

We in the state know better!!

Flashback : THE ABURI ACCORD THAT WOULD HAVE SAVED NIGERIA FROM ALL HER PROBLEMS...( but aborted by the Fulani Oligarchy) - Femi Adesina.

This article was written by Femi Adesina the current Spokesperson to President Buhari in 2012 after the demise of Ikemba Odumegwu Ojukwu.

THE ABURI ACCORD THAT WOULD HAVE SAVED NIGERIA FROM ALL HER PROBLEMS…( but aborted by the Fulani Oligarchy)

By FEMI ADESINA( current spokesperson to President Buhari)

In December 2009, I was at Aburi, while holidaying in Ghana. We Nigerians call it A-b-u-r-i, but the Ghanaians pronounce it as E-b-r-i. For those who have read widely about the civil war that we fought between 1967 and 1970, Aburi is a significant place. This was what I wrote about Aburi, after returning from that journey:

“Aburi. Beautiful, serene Aburi, set daintily atop a hill. It is home to a botanical garden that is 119 years old. But for us in Nigeria, Aburi goes beyond just nature and its preservation. It is the town where General Yakubu Gowon and Odumegwu Ojukwu met, to try and avert the Nigerian Civil War that lasted between 1967 and 1970. They came out with Aburi Accord, which later broke down. And a shooting war started. You could see the Presidential Lodge on a hill, where the Nigerian leaders had parleyed at the behest of Ghanaian leaders. It all ended in futility.”

As one of the key parties to the Aburi Accord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, returns to mother earth today, it is also apposite to return to Aburi, and look at the letter and the spirit of the accord once again, an agreement that was violated by the Federal side, and which made a bloody internecine war inevitable.

For most part of 1966, the northern part of Nigeria, particularly, had been turned to killing fields. Non-natives, especially Igbos, were killed in thousands. Many fled, many others were displaced. There was complete anarchy in the land. The average Igbo looked up to Lt. Col Odumegwu Ojukwu, military governor of the Eastern Region, to provide leadership and direction. He did not fail. He picked the gauntlet and championed the cause of his people.
By January 1967, the drums of war were loud and clear, reverberating across the length and breadth of Nigeria. But there was a last ditch effort to prevent what was imminent. There was a peace meeting hosted at Aburi, in Ghana, by the then Ghanaian head of state, Gen J. A. Ankrah. At the meeting were Gowon, Ojukwu, all the military governors of the regions, and some top civil servants, both from the Federal side and the Eastern region. The meeting held on January 4 and 5, 1967, and came out with what is popularly known today as the Aburi Accord.
The agenda of the meeting consisted of three crucial issues: (i) Reorganization of the Armed Forces (ii) Constitutional agreement (iii) Issues of displaced persons within Nigeria.

The two-day meeting reached consensus that were acceptable to both sides. Among others, it was resolved that legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government was to remain in the Supreme Military Council (SMC), to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided it is possible for a meeting to be held, and the matter requiring determination must be referred to military governors for their comment and concurrence. What does this mean in simple language? The SMC would run the affairs of the country, but not without consulting the regions as represented by the military governors. This was something akin to federalism, even under a military government.

Other terms of the agreement include that appointments to senior ranks in the police, diplomatic and consular services as well as appointment to superscale posts in the federal civil service and the equivalent posts in the statutory corporations must be approved by the SMC. What does this mean again in simple language? Equity, fairness, true federalism.

Other matters like the holding of an ad hoc constitutional conference, fate of soldiers involved in the January 15, 1966 coup, rehabilitation of displaced persons, etc, were also amicably resolved, and the conferees returned happily to Nigeria. Only for the Federal side to deliver a blow to the solar plexus: the Aburi Accord, Gowon said, was unworkable, and he reneged on all the agreements.

Using the Eastern Nigerian Broadcasting Service, Ojukwu played the tape recording of the proceedings at Aburi repeatedly, to educate the populace on who was playing Judas. Later, he made a broadcast in which he said: “we in the East are anxious to see that our differences are resolved by peaceful means and that Nigeria is preserved as a unit, but it is doubtful, and the world must judge whether Lt. Col Gowon’s attitudes and other exhibitions of his insincerity are something which can lead to a return of normalcy and confidence in the country.

“I must warn all Easterners once again to remain vigilant. The East will never be intimidated, nor will she acquiesce to any form of dictation. It is not our intention to play the aggressor. Nonetheless, it is not our intention to be slaughtered in our beds. We are ready to defend our homeland.”

In a piece I did last December, shortly after Ojukwu passed away, I said he was virtually pushed into war by the infidelity of the Federal side to the Aburi Accord. I still stand by that position. Ojukwu was called ‘warlord’ for many decades, but he was by no means a warmonger. He only did what he needed to do for his people–and for the country.

As his earthly remains are interred today, it is tragic that Nigeria is still submerged in the morass that Ojukwu already identified about 45 years ago. Today, bombs go off like firecrackers in the country. There is agitation for the review of the revenue allocation formula. There are strident calls for the convocation of a sovereign national conference. Even some component parts are threatening to pull out of the federation if anything happened to their ‘son’ who is now in power. Didn’t Ojukwu warn of these landmines ahead? Were all these issues not already settled at Aburi? Foremost journalist and media administrator, Akogun Tola Adeniyi, in a recent media interview, explained the Aburi Accord this way: “Let every region be semi-autonomous and develop at its own level.” Yes, that was the spirit and letter of Aburi, but which sadly became a road not taken. And is that not why we are still suffering today, living in a rickety and decrepit country that can burst at the seams any moment? I tell you, Ojukwu was a prophet, and like most prophets, he had no honour in his own country. Pity. But whether we like it or not, there’s no way we won’t return to Aburi. Willy-nilly. I only hope it will be sooner than later, before Nigeria goes to grief. On Aburi I stand.

Federal Government was perfidious and duplicitous on Aburi. It is still the same way today. That is why as Nigerians, we are most times disillusioned, dismayed, dispirited, dejected and depressed. When will change come to this land? Our hearts are getting weary.

Last December, I wrote that Ojukwu should be buried like a hero. I’m glad at the rites of passage so far, culminating in the interment today. Yes, bury him like a true hero. An icon, an avatar, deserves no less. This generation will surely not see another like Ojukwu. He fought not only for his own people, but for a true federation founded on justice, fair play, equity and rectitude. Unfortunately, he did not see the Nigeria of his dreams. Will we? Adieu the Ikemba, the Eze Igbo Gburugburu. May your soul rest in peace. Ka nkpur’obi gi zue ike n’adukwa.

The young man has a point but i disagree with his assertion that Nigeria is a fraud. Yoruba is benefiting for being part of Nigeria just as nigeria is also very lucky having the yoruba as part of it. If Nigeria breaks or continue to be, it is a win win for the great yoruba tribe, we'll continue to make progress. There is no tribe in Nigeria that is not benefiting in one way or the other for being part of it,we are not enjoying equal privilege though,if that now warrant calling for the breaking of the country is the question begging for answer in my mind.

I'm a Yoruba man and I'm not benefitting from the arrangement.

Tell that to the sons and daughters of the political elites.

This is a clear case of oppression.
The young lawyer will never accept the status quo. Kudos.

You failed Physics and your Mathematics wasn't that convincing.
If you didn't write NECO, wait for the next WAEC.

Na diz Fabiyi dey always share dem bad news for Yoruba Nollywood.

Met Gor!

After all the educational hustles and hassles, struggling to pass those scary courses and scaling through school's hurdles;

After all the unending interviews, escaping job scam applications and eventually settling for the 'best among the rest';

After all the years of apprenticeship, learning the hardest and harshest parts of your trade and handwork;

After settling down in an expensive Lagos apartment, paying the annual rent through the nose with its resultant effects on your income;

After hitting the road as early as 4am to beat the Lagos traffic and coming as late as 11pm, becoming a total stranger to your family and in the neighbourhood;

After struggling everyday with other Lagosians for a seat in a Danfo or a keke and jumping on motorbikes with you reciting the Lord's prayer as the man speeds off;

After escaping one chance, pick pockets and other social vices in Lagos and spending all day at alert without 'losing guards';

After surviving all the environmental hazards and other ecosystem challenges in Lagos with your family;

After struggling with all these and you finally decide to acquire your own landed properties to build your own house and for other purposes, shouldn't you contact the right persons and real estate companies?

Shouldn't you partner with experienced agents to put you through and guide you against falling into the hands of fraudsters and swindlers that wouldn't bat an eyelid before scooping from you all your hard earned money?

Shouldn't you contact a real estate company that will protect you from land grabbers and 'omo oniles' in Lagos and its environs?

Do you want to add landed property headache to the existing headaches Lagos offers?

A lot of scams around us.

The other woman who found her lost or misplaced passport through the help of the #nathanielchallenge still cracks me up.

chijudith:
Pls who has information about the 2017/2018 postgraduate form ASAP.

It's not yet out. They had internal issues that really paralyzed the system.

Hopefully before August.

Shawdey:
Bet why do people like unnecessary attention?
You claimed to have finished secondary school for the past 6 years, did not open book, went for Jamb exam and scored 212, how far nw?
Don't bobo us!
You're now faking one tears for 270 marks shioor!!!
Baba, abeg go siddon for one corner jare

Lol..free the boss. Since Nairaland is available for posts, comments and the like, he is free.

Enli:
Never knew I can still find matured minds here.. Most of the comments I've been reading on nairaland recently made me feel we can only find negative minds here.. You just changed my mindset.. Thanks for encouraging the young man

You are welcome, bro.

olayinka96:
Will definitely do that.. Thanks

Welcome, bro. I'm praying for you. Do not lose hope yet.

olayinka96:
Don't av any information. Trying to check online

If I were you and I live in and around Lagos, I would take a trip to Unilag and find things out myself, even knocking on Fishery Dept. lecturers' doors.

olayinka96:
Unilag. Fishery

What information do you have about the department? The highest number of admitted students, the previous admission requirements etc.

olayinka96:
I scored 212.. But I expected more even though I have not open a textbook for the past 6 years since I finished secondary school.. I was expecting like 270.. Am disappointed

You shouldn't expect more, bro. You confessed you haven't opened a book for six years. That's a very long time to forget things even if you were one of the best back then in high school.
Now, let's talk.
Which school did you apply to? What course?

kingsleyAba:
can I b adm to any state uni ....with 212 or can I still change course n school

Bro, most state unis will admit you with 212, trust me. Since it's a science course, Chemistry and Physics departments(where I schooled) would give you a reasonable option.

kingsleyAba:
somebody shld tell me what i hv to do with my jamb score 212 for the kind science course n school that I apply

Bro, which school and course did you apply for?

I know a lot of people who got less than yours but not less than 200 and still got admitted.

Good one MU.

In saner climes, officials of the disco firm, the football house and even those local govt would be behind bar by now.

But it is Nigeria. Anything goes.

FvckShiT:
and so fûçkiñg what!? I'll choose KANU every fûçking time.The man wôn almost every blöödyfûçkiñg thing

I understand you bro.
We are in the same sh1t.
The afternoon is very hot.

Two radical kings..
One is about the economic change of his people.
The other wants to change the religious, academic and political status quo of his region.
Kudos.

Throughout the show, she never got angry neither did she make anybody angry.
I like her.
