It's thieves like this that made Evans and co swore to make it in life.

You sound so bitter . Studying in the UK or anywhere else is not a crime and don't make the assumption that everyone with a child studying in the west is/was a looter . Celebrate good things and work towards getting your own / progressing in life. No need ranting at the man.

PrettyCrystal:
Congratulations are in order for Bidemi, the 20-year-old son of Senator Babafemi Ojudu who recently graduated with First Class Honors in Account and Finance from Durham University UK. The University is A world top 100 University and coming out in First Class puts Bidemi in the group of the best scholars.

The distinguished senator is currently the Special Adviser to president Muhammed Buhari on Politics and a gubernatorial candidate for Ekiti State. Congratulations to the young chap.

CROWNWEALTH019:
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that it is only the London doctors attending to President Muhammadu Buhari’s health will decide when the President will come back to Nigeria. The party also said that President Buhari is recovering fast from his illness contrary to allegations that he is on life support.

The National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, gave the assurance in Abuja while speaking with newsmen at the end of a meeting between the party`s National Working Committee (NWC) and state governors elected on the party’s platform.


“We are glad to inform you that President Muhammadu Buhari is recovering in a very robust manner.

“We hope he takes it easy and when he comes back, I have no doubt at all that we will have a new and active period of activities.’’

He, however, said only the president’s doctors abroad could decide when he would be fit to return to the country.


Gov. Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State had recently alleged that President Buhari was on life-support in a London Hospital where he is receiving medical attention.

The national chairman, however, refused to respond to the governor’s comment, saying he would do that at an appropriate time.

“If I respond, I will be dignifying him.

“At the appropriate time, people will answer him; at the appropriate level; at the appropriate time.

“He is in a different world altogether.’’

According to him, the party’s leadership has confidence in President Buhari.

He added that the meeting x-rayed the nation, ongoing agitation for its restructuring and inciting statements emanating from different parts of the country.

Odigie-Oyegun stressed that such inciting statements are not good “for the nation`s health and have to be stopped’’.

According to him, the party maintains its earlier position on the restructuring of the country as clearly stated in its manifesto.
He further said the party’s leadership would do all it could at all times to ensure that the unity of the country was preserved.

He added that the APC leadership was ready to listen to whatever grievances any group in the country might have.

Abagworo:
Niger Delta in the context applied in Nigeria refers strictly to Southern minorities. All these long grammar is unnecessary.

bezimo:
How can you be an Asa lady from Rivers State and ndoki person from Abia...this looks fraudulent. Poster where do you come from...I strongly doubt if you are truly from Rivers, you are an Ipob youth..I hope you have not been misguided on the identity and position of the SS as regards the Biafra agitation.

There is the general belief of a Niger deltan been a South South person whose region is where the bulk of Nigeria revenue is generated so trying to logically explain that fact away may not necessarily change that established perception in Nigeria and outside Nigeria.

Amarabae:
Good Day All!
Happy Sallah To My Muslim Friends!

If you go into the street of Nigeria and ask, who is a Niger Deltan?
95% of respondents will likely fail the question.
The Reason for this write up is that some Peoples ignorantly love to use the phrase "IGBOS and NIGER DELTANS".
Its wrong and an embarrasement to the intellectual mindset.
-
First, What is a Delta?
A Delta is a Land area where a River spread into diverse tributuaries before emptying into an Ocean or Sea.
-
Niger Delta is the delta of River Nigeria.
The USA has Mississippi Delta.
The China has Yangtze Delta.
The Egypt has Nile delta.
And so on.
-
In Nigeria, How Is A Niger Deltan identified, lets examine it in three ways and then solve the Igbos and Niger Delta Question.
-
1) Niger Delta as Oil Producing Areas?- If Niger Delta is classified by Oil Producing Areas, that mean Igbos, Yorubas, Ijaws, Urhobos etc are part of it.
- Yorubas produce Oil in Ondo state.
- Igbos have Oil producing areas in Ukwa areas of Abia, Egbema, Asa/Ndoki, Oguta, Ogbaru, Ndoni, Omuma, Etche etc.
-
So if it is classified by Oil producing areas, that means all ethnic groups in southern Nigeria are Niger Deltans.
-
2) Niger Deltans As South South States?- This is the classification many use to define Niger Deltan.
And they even Ignorantly think Igbos are not part of it.
I am an Asa lady from Oyigbo LGA In Rivers state.
I am proudly Igbo and Niger Deltan.
Also the Ndokis, Ndoni, Etches, Egbemas etc are also Oil producing areas in South South and they are part of the Igbo Nation.
Ikwerre, Ogba and Ekpeye may be a battleground of identity issue but they are of Igboid stock.
So you see if we use South South as classification of Niger deltan, IGBOS are part and parcel of it.
-
3) Niger Deltan By Virtue Of Geographical Location?
If we go by this classification, that means Edo and Cross River people are not Niger deltans, because there is no delta of the River Niger in their location.
If we go by this classification, that means IGBOS are fully part of the Niger Delta.
-
My Final submission is that trying to create Niger Delta without mentioning IGBOS is a big FRAUD.
There are Igbos in the term "NIGER DELTA".
Even the River Niger is a dermacation between two Igbo Cities Onitsha and Asaba.
-
The days of divide and conquer are fading away.
I am an Asa/Ndoki person.
Oyigbo is my LGA!
Rivers is my state.
IGBO is my ethnic nation.
And Yes I am a Niger Deltan just like my fellow Igbos like Etches, Ndonis, Egbemas, Ogbarus, Ogutas, etc.
Thank you all.

ScotsReferendum:
Nigerians are talking about the Hausa language Buhari addressed them with while you are here trying to distract Nigerians this early morning with this topic


Were you paid to distract Nigerians from the real issue at hand


Buhari must explain to Nigerians when did Hausa language become our lingual franca

michoim:
Fake IPoB news. A contingent of British soldiers just arrived Nigeria last week to train Nigerian soldiers. It was on Channels TV news, shown live.

Abagworo:
Udenwa should have built a good teaching hospital with access road. Visit Eastern Palm University and see how things should be done.

UnknownT:
Senator Hope Uzodinma, Orlu Sen. Zone. The only times I heard of him in the news were when he wanted to marry a second wife and also importing bags of rice,

For Rep. Jerry Alagboso, his own is worse, habent even heard anything whether good or controversial about him

martyns303:
I have seen all the previous comments and ignored them, because they lack merit. but your comment got me in disbelief, Igbos are the majority in Rivers State?

Wait, is it the Ikwerre people you are referring to as Igbos? Because all the governors you just mentioned are Ikwerre. Please don't let them hear it from your mouth, they will find it very very offensive.

Humblesam:
Now Duke get ready, you have been endorsed for 2019 presidential election. The campaign starts right here in the largest online arena of Africa.
If the outcome favours you,then you are good to go come 2019.
Now the voting begins......like if you think Dr Duke is good to go as a presidential candidate come 2019,share if you think otherwise.
Goodluck.

That's during the war time when food was insufficient,

most of you claim you produce food for the South Eastern Nigeria yet you starve, here is the picture of Nigeria(a country not at war)

fratermathy:
I thought you wanted to claim Urhobo now abi? You don change mind?

Secondly, it is our women that they are raping and that makes it URHOBO'S PROBLEMS, not the problem of the Igbos! How we solve our problems is no concern of yours. Just face your Biafra make we see road.

eluquenson:
In this video, Chioma Amaryllis, who is a former PR Coordinator for Radio Biafra and ex-girlfriend to the founder of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, says that Radio Biafra is a fraud created by Kanu to extort money from the Igbo people. She said Kanu is in total control of the money coming into Radio Biafra and uses the money to sustain himself.
“I am Chioma Amaryllis I live in the USA but I am from Mbaise in Imo State, a proud Igbo woman. I had a relationship with Nnamdi Kanu as he presented himself to me in the US as a single man. I hope that the point I am trying to make about Nnamdi Kanu will take precedence. I am telling the truth about Nnamdi Kanu & Radio Biafra as I saw it and closely witnessed”

Money was being collected by Nnamdi Kanu, huge money from genuine people & misappropriated,” she said.

Nnamdi Kanu collected huge donations to build a cenotaph for Ojukwu but never did. A lot of donations to Biafra went down the drain & I have a right to speak out because I contributed.”

.....how many kings have visited PMB in Rondon?


Leaders are born not made.

fratermathy:
Actually, you are not in tune with the truth. Let me educate you:

1. Itsekiri is purely Yoruba (their ancestors are migrant fishermen from Ijebu, Ilaje and Ikale). Their monarchy is purely of Bini roots as well. In terms of values, they are more of Yoruba than anyone else in the South.

2. Urhobo/Isoko is Edoid (Edo and Yoruba have common worldviews). Urhobos were politically in the Western Region of Nigeria before we were granted our own Mid-West State. Some Urhobo clans such as Okpe trace their origin to Ife!

3. Urhobos/Isokos have settled in large numbers in the West and even up North but never in the East (ask yourself why). If you go to Ikale, Ilaje, Ife, Ijebu, Ilesha, etc, you'd find large swathes of Urhobos/Isokos. We even have some Urhobo language churches in some of these locations. Many of them have integrated with the Yorubas there because of shared cultural systems and worldview.

4. Urhobo/Isoko has been favoured more by Yorubas and even Hausas than by Igbos (who think only of themselves alone).

5. Yorubas are more at home in Urhoboland than anywhere else. This is vice-versa. We have the same culture of respect, accommodation, greeting, etc.


So in the event that we have to choose between Oodua and Biafra, you know where our chips will lie. So stop concocting falsities and spreading them. Urhobos are indifferent towards Igbos!

fratermathy:
Actually, we are already treating it. Just because you sit at Ihiala and don't know what goes on at Abraka doesn't mean nothing is going on.

You can leave us be and face your Igboland now.

fratermathy:
Mr Man, leave us alone. If you get your own country and we flood as refugees, how is that your problem? GO and get your country first and stop the IFs. Why do you think what you just said is not vice versa?

Kindly do us a favour and leave us from your plans!! You can go and negotiate with Ibibio, Efik, Anaang, Oron, Ikwerre, Ijaw, etc. But leave us from it. We don't have anything in common with Igbo and we don't want Igbo domination. Take una wahala and go your way.
