we have seen breakup from musical groups like the bettle and john Lennon.but a more interesting breakup was the oriental brothers,a musical group in the eastern part of Nigeria.
just after a devastating civil war that claimed more than 3 million lives,the easterners was in the lowest form of happiness,that any slight form of happiness was not to be left untapped,sadly there were no happiness,anywhere you go ,it was a time for burial,the vultures of this world simply relocated to that part of the country for feast which was scattered every corners in the bushes,at the market square,the vultures had fun enjoying different kind of meal,young children,old women,youth,rebels,just name them.
in 1970, a group of young men decided the do something to bring sanity to the eastern part of the country.
The Oriental Brothers International Band was the first Nigerian highlife boy band formed after the devastating three years Nigeria civil war that ruined the Eastern Nigeria where the boys hailed from. Hence their name "Oriental" having come from the east. They started as an in-house band at Easy Going Hotels in Owerri owned by Chief James "Ewele" Azubuike. The Oriental Brothers were originally five members namely: Godwin Kabaka Opara, Ferdinand Dansatch Emeka Opara, Livinus Akwilla Alaribe, Fred "Ichita" Ahumaraeze and Christogonus Ezebuiro "Warrior" Obinna. The first split within the group occurred in 1977 when founding member and the first leader of the band, Godwin Opara left to start his own bands after a dispute under the moniker Kabaka International Guitar Band and was replaced with Aloysius Anyanwu, a former guitarist with Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe's Nigerian Sound Makers Band and a founding member of the Ikenga Super Stars band after they left Osadebe's band. Later Ichita and Livinus Akwila Alaribe equally left the band to form another group called the Great Oriental Band. In 1978 a mistrust and copyright issue ensued between Dansatch/Warrior on one side and Aloysius Anyanwu on the other which ended in a libel action.The acrimonious dispute led Aloysius Anyanwu too leaving the band to go solo as Aloy Anyanwu and His State Brothers Band. So that left only Dansatch and Warrior as the only remaining founding members. They recruited freelance musicians around Owerri and some migrant musicians from Ghana to relaunch the band after many exists. They had hit after hit after this reshuffling. Yet again dispute emerged between Dansatch and Warrior over the future shape of the band regarding artistic style. So after their 1980 hit album "Obi Nwanne" both men parted ways. Warrior retained the core of the band's musicians and named himself "Dr Sir Warrior & His Oriental Brothers International Band. While Dansatch continued as Oriental Brothers International Band led by Ferdinand Emeka Opara. Though each of the groups had their distinct sound, they all shared a passion for blending Eastern Africa region's Congolese guitar rhythm blended with traditional Igbo percussional rhythms. According to the Igbo magazine Kwenu, "the Oriental Brothers played a very important spiritual role in keeping many Igbo sane. They were the pride of a people traumatized by a war so vicious
OZO WU IWEM" Meaning it's okay to make mistakes but when the same mistakes happens repeatedly, that's what get Sir Warrior upset.

Many might have forgotten that the current IG , Idris was the CP of Kano State when Buhari polled 2Million votes and Jonathan only 150,000 in the last 2015 election. The then INEC Returning Officer in Kano was burnt to death together with his family in their home, immediately after the election and the result announced.
Till date no arrest nor anything found as the cause of the fire .
NOW HEAR THIS:- As if it is a payback for a job well done,CP Idris was promoted to IGP over 12 other senior CPs, over 22 senior AIGs, and of course over the 7 most senior DIG police officers to become IGP immediately Buhari was sworn in.
Every other officer that was senior to CP Idris was retired just to make way for the now IG Idris to occupy this highest position.
Corruption is not only when you embezzled money. There are several forms of corruption that has become cankerworm in our governance, nepotism is one of them. Comr Ohinoyi Mathew Okene wrote :
Idris Ibrahim was a CP in Kano during the 2015 election. That was in March 2015. How did he become Inspector Gen by March, 2016? CP - AIG - DIG - IGP. Classical corruption from Buhari. FACTS DON'T LIE Here is the list of the AIGs that were retired to make former Kano state commissioner of police, Idris Ibrahim, the IGP:
1 Bala A Hassan 2.Yahaya Garba Ardo 3. Irmiya F Yarima 4. Danladi Y Mshebwala 5. Tambari Y. Mohammed 6..Bala Magaji Nasarawa 7. MUsa Abdulsalam 8. Adisa Bolanta 9. Mohammed J Gana 10. Umaru Abubakar Manko 11. Lawal Tanko 12. Olufemi A. Adenaike 13. Johson A Ogunsakin 14. Adenrele T. Shinaba 15. James O. Caulcrick 16 Olufefemi David Ogumbayode 17. Edgar T Nanakumo 18. Kalafite H. Adeyemi 19. Patrick D Dokumor 20. Mbu Joseph Mbu 21. Sabo Ibrahim Ringim.
21of them ALL the 7 DIGs were also retired. That was a lot of heads to roll for one man's. Remember also that Kano INEC returning officer, with his whole family, was burnt to death. Till date the case has not seen the light of day. All the registered voters in Kano for 2015 presidential election voted 100% for APC. No single invalid vote, no card reader malfunction. Go figure
Please note that I am not saying anything other than supplying facts. Dazzall. #COPIED
NwaChibuzor060: The last person that should ever pray for you is a prostitute. Curse works better from their mouth than prayers. If you doubt me go to cynergy, Ndokwa 3T, Sodom and Gomorrah or 7up and pick up a fight with one of the hoes there.

What you guys don't understand is that you continue to harm your local economy, only if you know how much your local economy has lost today alone. You can not keep doing the same thing & expect a different result.
Wisdom is greater than strength.
If u also know how much the moslem loose closing their business to pray 5 times a day?
Throwback: And for running PDP adverts, the public funds of Nigeria was duly spent by the PDP federal government?
You say Buhari crumbled AIT? The same AIT that has always wobbled and struggled for survival since year 2000 when it launched the first of its many AIT survival appeal funds?
Was Buhari the president all those years?
Did Dokpesi reinvest in DAAR communications the public loot allocated to him for no job done?

Go meet Jonathan na,abi una Dey fear?
However, job was done and services cannot be quantified,it depends on the professional rendering the service.
All those adverts he was running for pdp almost on a nonstop basic , is it for free?
Before buhari crumbled ait, ait was the biggest tv station in Nigeria,Tv programs like focus was a very hot cake.so advertising there should be more expensive.
