One thing is certain, Buhari is fighting a losing war.

All he has done is successfully run Nigeria to the ground, wat is remaining is to collapse the country.


Collapse? What is left of Nigeria except that Buhari is still holding government together?

Foreign Media are bribed, shielded from reporting the evil events that go on in Nigeria - incarceration of opponents without bail or trial, the near collapse of the economy, the worst inflationery rate ever, the wanton killings of unarmed citizens even inside the churches, the near zero mega watt electricity - all these are shielded from the international media by Fulani dollar billionaires and business moguls.

Kemi Olunloyo says her dad slept with Tokunbo the LovePeddler - prostitute.

In other words, Kemi admits that her father was a customer to whores - prostitute.


Devotion to prostitutes is a mental disorder.
Therefore Kemi Olunloyo confirms Tokunbo's allegation that mental disorder runs in Olunloyo's family.

Lol, Government of the north, by the north for the north.


80% of the appointments Buhari has made so far are mostly from the north (core north in most cases). But it's a deep contradiction that when it comes to defending his criminality, about 50% of those hired to do the dirty job are of southern extraction.

Here are the list of SAN'S Buhari hired to defend his certificate.
1. Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN).
2. Mr. Lateef O. SAN'Semi (SAN),
3. Chief Akin Olujinmi (SAN),
4. Oluwarotimi O. Akeredolu (SAN),
5. Kola Awodein (SAN),
6. Prof. Taiwo Osipitan (SAN),
7. Charles Edosomwan (SAN),
8. Emeka Ngige (SAN),
9. Femi Atoyebi (SAN),
10. Femi Falana (SAN),
11. Funke Aboyade (SAN),
12. H.O. Afolabi (SAN),
13. Muiz Banire (SAN)


He found them competent, but when it is for federal appointment they aren't competent.

And some zombi will come and decent this.

Instead of doing a simpler thing: present his O'Level Certificate, Buhari is using Nigeria's money to defend himself against the will of Nigerians expressed in the Electoral Laws.

This is one man against a nation. And a judge adjourned the case, perhaps until Buhari ceases to be president.

Has Nigeria not gone beyond a zoo if this indefinite adjournment stands?

Where is the fight against corruption?

Most of old Western Nigeria, except Delta state, share common value systems with the north, share same Islamic religious faith.

Groups in Eastern Nigeria of about 70 million people and 99% Christian population share common value systems.

Buhari knows what to do to stop official corruption in Nigeria: return true and fiscal federalism to Nigeria, thus bring politicians closer and more accountable to the people. But Buhari would never do that because of the parasitic political structure created by northern soldiers to favour only north financially and politically.

No body could have known that PDP people were corrupt if If PDP had become tyrannical with power like Buhari and refused to allow Buhari win or even contest the last election.

Because in a zoo, there are some elements of respect animals give to other animals.

But in Nigeria turned into a thick jungle by Buhari, he is using Nigeria's guns carried by his clan soldiers, DSS and police to kill and intimidate anybody that does not see with him.

How could humans in civil cases be incarcerated in prison custody in Nigeria without trial, without bail?

Former minister of Aviation Femi Fani-Kayode’s fiancée, Precious Chikwendu, angrily stormed out of court today as the judge failed to appear again.

Fani-Kayode, who was the spokesman of the former president Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign during 2015 election, is facing charges of fraud and money laundering at a federal high court in Ikoyi, Lagos.

He was to be arraigned last Friday, but the case was postponed till Tuesday owing to the judge’s absence.

Mr Fani-Kayode pacified Chikwendu, but she stormed out of the court premises as EFCC took her husband back in custody.

No reason was given for the judge’s absence.

An Ikeja magistrate court in Lagos had ruled that Fani-Kayode could remain in EFCC custody for three weeks after his arrest on May 9.

Today is the 42nd day he has been detained.

From three weeks of detention to 42 days detention without trial. Even Al Qaeda suspects are not held like this.

If Buhari does, he would not allow his soldiers to be shooting unarmed civilians, even inside the church.

If Buhari does, he would not have pegged the value of the Naira against the Dollar for over a year and brought ruins to the economy.

If Buhari listens to the media, Nigeria could not have gone down to zero megawatts of electricity.

The community of Awo idemili in Orsu LGA, Imo state was in a celebration mood as they welcome their son and former vice chancellor of the Federal university of technology,Owerri as he celebrates his handover party yesterday being the 18th of June 2016.
The venue of the event was at the Council headquartes of Orsu LGA.The occasion was graced by lots of dignitaries,Chairman of Orsu LGA,traditional and titled men, Futo deans of faculties and HODs including Futo students.
The new vice chancellor, Prof F.C Eze was the chairman of the day. side attractions of the occasion was cultural dances by different dance groups, several gun shots and masquerade performance.
The ocassion was by a socio-cultural group named "UMUNNE FUTO". The group consist of staffs & students in Futo from the 12 LGA's under Orlu zone, and it is headed by Obiagwu Obinna.
In Appreciation for what Asiabaka had done for the people of Awo idemili including saving over 1000 lives through employement,an educational building of 12 rooms was built in the Council headquarters and named "Prof. C.C Asiabaka Educational Building.

Under this Prof. Asiabaka, FUTO expanded many times with federal money. There was no directive from federal government that FUTO can't have another campus in Imo state. Nothing prevented FUTO from having another campus in Awo Idemili or in any other place in Orlu zone which has no tertiary education institution

Instead, Prof. Asiabiaka and former VC of IMSU asked Catholic church goers in Orlu diocese to tax themselves to build a university in Orlu zone if they want a tertiary institution.


Meanwhile, OWERRI people continue to search for more government universities for Owerri zone in addition to the three already in OWERRI.

The capital was never named by the federal government to attract development attention more than the other component towns or cities in a state.

It's only ill-educated governors who believe that the state capital is meant to attract more attention than other areas of the state.

And in the case of Imo state today, the governor has placed more than 99% of whatever development infrastructure he made since 2011 in Owerri.

Anyway, waiting for 2019 when any body from Owerri may say it's the turn of Owerri zone to present governor.

NEHLIVE:
This is the third man to have been electrocuted today by this faulty Street light pole at Kosofe Bus Stop, Mile 12. The Lagos State Government recently barricaded the road around the area with iron rails to force people to use the new pedestrian bridge in the area instead of crossing the road. However, because the bridge location is very far from this particular spot, people who have businesses at the other side of the road always cross the iron rail demarcation after bending the sharp pointed irons fitted on top. Unfortunately, a broken cable from this street light pole fitted to the demarcation is already touching the entire rail and therefore everyone trying to cross the place today have been shocked. Three unlucky persons died today at different times after getting electrocuted by the rail. That's not the only problem, the said pole is at the brink of collapse as it's been shaking all day and a major wind can finally pull it down. This is a very busy road, hope authorities will do something about it immediately before more damage is done. More photos below..

THE STUPIDITY OF THE BIAFRAN QUESTION

I am from Oguta. It is the small tract of land blessed with the beautiful lake, bordered by the Orashi River, enhanced by the Obana river and peopled by fascinating characters. The memories of my youth in that wonderful community I wish could be experienced by people everywhere. The culture of communal living, folk tales with guitar accompaniment, haunting and captivating amidst the moonlight plays, provide joyful memories that will last for a lifetime.

That wonderful community of which I have many fond memories has changed greatly in our march to modernity. I wish I could turn back the clock to the Oguta where we shared much love, where we were one another’s siblings despite quarrels, envy and small acrimonies. I wish I could return to the Oguta where our cultural festivals brought everybody home (oh, what joy, what conviviality) amidst the chieftaincy disputes. That Oguta is gone forever but I still love my Oguta. I am proud of Oguta. It is a place I hope to retire to, play with my grandchildren, watch the sun rise and set, fish when in the mood to do so and be entertained by jolly gossip shared with my age grade. It is a place where I wish to die and be buried beside my father and mother.

That small community, beautiful no doubt, contains all the contradictions that I see in my state Imo State, in my ‘region’ South East, in my country Nigeria and in the entire world. One of Oguta’s most famous sons believed that he alone should be rich and others poor. He believed and would say in public: ‘How could I empower you to fight me?’ Having muscled his way into power, he did all in his power to diminish his people to ‘igirigu’ (crayfish). He supported every government’s bid to suppress Oguta people. Consequently, the Oguta that had two commissioners in the old East Central State – a territory that is five states now – has not produced a commissioner in Imo State. It is easy therefore for Oguta people to say they are marginalized. Yes. Do we then ask for a state of our own? I think it would be stupid to do so. Despite not having produced commissioners, Oguta has produced great people. Dr Alban is famed worldwide for his exploits in music. An Oguta indigene became a Justice of the Supreme Court, and his son Charlie Boy became the president of PMAN. Flora Nwapa was Africa’s first female novelist and Ernest Nwapa just retired as the pioneer head of Local Content Board and Lesley Obiora became a Minister of the Federal Republic. Individual strides? Yes. We have many of them worldwide and that small community still stands proud and majestic with its history, its road network better than that of any village in the whole of Nigeria.

I am not a ‘professional historian’ but I am a student of history. I have listened to the proponents of the ‘Biafran Republic.’ I lived in Lagos in the heydays of the Odua People’s Congress, pondered the rationalizations for the creation of Oduduwa Republic, and found them inadequate and empirically invalid. Recently, I heard a Fulani gentleman say: ‘Let the Ibos go, we shall take over their businesses and buildings. They own Nigeria. All the shopping malls and housing estates in Abuja belong to them. Are they going to go with those buildings?’ I felt sorry for the Fulani man, for buildings never a nation made.

But, my siblings of Biafra and the South West, it is an issue worth pondering. Our argument however is not for any region to agitate for the dissolution of Nigeria. To my Igbo brethren, I would say: ‘Yes, we have not produced the President, but Nigeria has been fair to you. The constitution we now have, whatever flaws it is deemed to have, will ensure that you are well-represented in any government, whether that government is anti-Igbo or not. My Oguta community has not been that fortunate with the Imo State Government. Successive governments in Imo State have rained slights on Oguta, but no government can ignore the Igbo community in Nigeria. Assuming that a federal government emerges that would treat Igbos as successive Imo State governments have treated Oguta, and fails to name an Igbo indigene to the federal cabinet, I would still say that Nigeria has been fair to us. Igbos have made strides in every facet of our social and economic life, here in Nigeria and all over the world.’

THE BIAFRAN QUESTION

The Biafran question has its roots in the conundrums of the 1960s, arising from man’s stupidity. The corruption and unrest of 1960s Nigeria cannot be compared with what obtains today. However, some majors set in motion events that ultimately led to the quest for secession. Reading about those events, it is difficult to apportion blame to any part of the Nigerian nation. The reaction of the North in killing Ibos although not justifiable can be explained. The Igbos’ struggle for safety and survival resulting in the secession struggle can be explained. The war produced unspeakable calamities and tragedies. The maturity of the Gowon-led federal government in the ‘no victor, no vanquished’ policy facilitated reconstruction, rehabilitation and reconciliation. There have been cases of marginalisation, most disgracefully in the abandoned property policy in Rivers State. Yet, since 1970, our country has made giant strides in the reconciliation effort. Our leaders, sensitive to the maintenance of balance, entrenched in our laws the federal character principle which insists that every state of the federation must be represented in the federal executive council. Buhari would prefer a leaner cabinet the law mandates him to have at least 36 cabinet members with each state represented.

The tragedies of the 1960s are gone. In philosophy, law and reality, the Igbo nation (nay every other ethnic group) has shared in the pie that is Nigeria and I daresay has been fairly represented. It is to me a tragedy that my people are talking of Biafra, and somebody dared to write, ‘In Biafra Africa died.’ The romance with resurgence of Biafra may have begun with MOSOP, a reaction to the unacceptable military dictatorship of the time. It became a rallying point for many disgruntled and hungry Igbo men. It was fuelled and financed by some Igbo elite who felt they would never get a bite of power in the then existing political structure. The money flowing into the purse of the proponents has enabled the agitation to survive till date.

I cannot say with certainty what prompted Nnamdi Kanu to start Radio Biafra. I have wondered whether Radio Biafra was established for money-making purposes or for historical goals. What I can say with certainty is that Radio Biafra does not project the Igbo cause and cannot represent the Igbo interest. In my address to an Igbo group in Texas in 2006, I touched on one or two issues I considered important and urgent to the Igbo cause. I said that Igbos had Onitsha and Aba, two major commercial cities of Nigeria, in the 1960s. To those two cities flocked people from all corners of Nigeria, the West African sub region and some Central Africa countries. In 2006, those two commercial centres were among the worst places in Nigeria in terms of infrastructure. The criminality that existed was beyond belief. All the roads were bad. No electricity. I proposed then that the South East governors should engage in establishing industrial parks and use those two centres as starting points. I proposed that if need be, the governments of the South East states should borrow, construct their roads, deal with issues of criminality (mostly armed robbery and kidnapping) and ensure adequate power supply. The provision of the suggested facilities in Onitsha and Aba, coupled with investment-friendly policies, would have established in those towns industries that would employ our youth and bring much wealth to the region.

When I made that proposal, I did not believe that a governor could transform Onitsha. However, a governor Obi did. He single-handedly built all the roads in Onitsha and made Onitsha an investment-friendly city. It is therefore sad that Governor Obiano, instead of building on what Obi did, has gone the Chimaroke Nnamani way of doing nothing and attacking his benefactor. Should Obiano bring electricity to Onitsha and deal sufficiently with criminality, Onitsha would become a haven for investment and might transform the fortunes of the South East.

What happened to Aba and Abia State? Weeks without electricity. No roads, yet successive governors of Abia State collect much tax from Aba businessmen. I would advocate that an Nnamdi and his ‘Biafran compatriots’ should concern themselves more with the bad governance that Abia State has had so far. Persistent broadcasts on his Biafran Radio on the conditions of infrastructure in Abia would have struck a chord and probably forced the Aba traders to agitate for decent infrastructure.

What I said in 2006 holds true today. The South East Governors Forum should consider seriously the issue of industrial parks. Incidentally, an Igbo man Ugwu, as minister, tried to start Industrial parks policy in Nigeria. I do not know whether he got the idea from my 2006 lecture. It is sad that despite his influence, he could not make the leaders of thought and governors of South East extraction implement the idea. Within that context, policies on agriculture should be articulated. In fact, whilst Ukpabi Asika was Administrator of the East Central State in the 1970s, many studies were carried out on how to make the South East economically viable. One of such studies centred on Oguta lake and its transformation into a tourist centre. Those studies should be exhumed from the archives and revisited. They should give us useful ideas on how the Igbos could work as a group and transform the South East.

MARGINALISATION

What is marginalisation? Who is marginalising who? I can relate to the South South’s claim on marginalisation. The evidence of marginalisation is clear and abundant. I am from an oil-producing community and can testify firsthand on the evil effect of oil exploitation on our soil. Oguta made Imo State an oil-producing state but what do we as a people in Imo State get from the oil? Nothing, yet we have not complained. But this is not about Oguta or the oil-producing minority communities. It is to stress that the Ibos have no claim to being marginalised.

Seriously, a cursory glance at Nigeria reveals stories of marginalisation from all corners. Examine the five states that constitute the heart of Biafra and say if you do not see marginalisation everywhere. In Imo State where I come from, Oguta people are totally marginalised. The tiny community considered breaking away to form Urashi State. The Mbaises and Owerris are disgruntled that Orlu zone alone has been producing governors. The next governor from Imo State may come from Orlu zone in the person of Senator Hope Uzodimma. In Anambra State, the Onitsha people despite all their educated elite cannot be elected to be the local government chairmen of their indigenous local government. I do not know where the aforementioned Nnamdi is from. It is possible that his community will never produce a local government chairman, let alone a House of Assembly member, or Senator because democracy is a game of numbers, and again because it is crudely practiced in Nigeria. A system that prevents Onitshans, despite all their wealth and education, from producing their own local government chairmen is not a good system and should be overhauled. It is however not a case for secession....

Yes, OWERRI had a dramatic huge expansion in four years because governor Okorocha Rochas abandoned development infrastructure he started in other towns in Imo state.

He then devoted the federal allocations to Imo state to building land mark structures in Owerri so that people may see him as a performing governor that's good for the presidency.

Worse is that Okorocha bulldozed infrastructures he met in Orlu and Okigwe, as he promised he would make Orlu and Okigwe model cities. A promise never fulfilled.

Boko Haram wants an Islamic republic governed by sharia criminal codes in the northern part of Nigeria including some parts of Niger and Chad republics.

When Twelve northern Nigeria states adopted the use of Islamic Sharia Criminal codes, that was the time they set the stage for this Islamic Sharia country.

But because of crude oil in the south of Nigeria, the sharia states in the north still clings to one Nigeria.

Laugh at those southern Nigerians who ask for restructuring of Nigeria's political structure. It can never be done in a democracy given northern Nigeria's political over-representation in the polity, over-representation north derives from the undue large number of states proliferated in the north of Nigeria by northern soldiers, and through which north also takes home a larger portion of Nigeria's shared revenues.
Any southern Nigerian banning secessionists is not getting it right.

In order to get noticed quicker, present Imo state governor even paints or rebuilds mission secondary schools in Owerri; mission schools that should have no business with the state government.

But outside the state capital, many state government owned secondary schools are dilapidated, some have no roads leading to them. Those government schools outside the state capital can't be taken care of because the attention-seeking governor believes that no body is noticing what is outside the state capital.

The present governor of Imo state dreams of succeeding Buhari in Aso Rock. He believes by building things in the state capital, Owerri, he shall be noticed. Meanwhile, rain flood owing to absence of urban drainage works have been threatening to uproot many houses and church and sack whole communities in the second most populated local government area of the state.

The state government ignores these and build flyovers and road tunnels in the state capital because the governor wants to be noticed quicker

Imo state, the only state in Nigeria reduced to its capital city by a section of its citizens and state governments.

Imo state is a state where 419 manifests clearer in government. And the state has remained most under-developed because of that, compared with other states created same time with Imo.

Some Citizens jump to joy at every new fly over built in the state capital by their state governor; while the rest of Imo state outside the state capital remain as in the 1960s or glorified villages.

No body cares that the state allocations are meant by the federal government to provide development infrastructure equally to every local government area of the state.

Owerri is your glory of the south east at the expense of having Orlu and Okigwe in the same Imo state remain glorified villages since the last state creation exercise;


because every successive governor of Imo state was blackmailed by Owerri people nto abandoning Okigwe and Orlu.

Cities in Nigeria that used to be of the same size and status with Okigwe and Orlu have developed by far more than Okigwe and Orlu of today, no thanks to the greed of Owerri people in Imo state
