We all agree that Jammeh , the (ex) president of Gambia might be losing it! We also agree that stability is needed in Gambia and ECOWAS region. Nigeria is the giant of ECOWAS is also not in doubt. But, cruising to on some nautical speed Gambia with a recently acquired warship (NNS Unity) to oust the recalcitrant Koran carrying president can be likened to using a cannon to kill a mosquito. A move that will diminish the sovereignty of smaller African countries, rendering them impotent and powerless. A move that international diplomacy and political analysts tag as “a show of force and intimidation” . In a move ill advised and also unwarranted, considering the economic situation of the Nigeria. It is said that , this is an invasion that Nigeria must not spearhead. Sending troupes in Gambia can be likened as using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
A lot of issues have been raised over the election in Gambia, first was that the assumed Gambia's internationally-recognised President Adama Barrow has left the swearing-in ceremony at the country's embassy in Dakar,Senegal. The legitimacy of this swearing in is a slight and mockery to African. How can a president be sworn in, in another country?this singular act has positioned Mr. Barrow as a president at large. The legitimacy of his presidency can be questioned in Gambia. The singular act of swearing in Barrow is Senegal has made a mockery of African states and their sovereignty. Currently, Gambia under a 3 month (90 day) state of emergency imposed by President Yahya Jammeh after a legislative vote to that effect.But those in support of this inuaguaration such as the Foreign Affairs Minister of Nigeria, Geoffery Onyeama, said" that the ceremony could go ahead outside of the country but on Gambian territory." It smacks desperation both in the side of Mr, Barrow, wanting to go into power quickly without showing some elements of restrains and other other side , desperation on the side of Jammeh, for clinging to power over two decade!

As it is always in Africa, might is right. It is on this principle that the ECOWAS and their leader , Nigeria swung into action. Though, some deliberation was made and asylum offered. Sending troupes to oust a president that have declared a state of emergency in his own country can be likened to undermining his “authority” as the head of state, in this case Gambia. The African adage comes to mind, it goes like” the cane used in beating the first wife will also be used in beating the second wife”. ECOWAS region should not used force and fiat. The region isn’t prepared for refugees and as it stands most countries in ECOWAS region do not have the capacity to take in refugees from Gambia, should in case this blows out to a full scale war. This was witnessed in Syria and considering the Gambia similarity with Syria. Gambia is a country that is majority muslim, the muslim groups ( especially the ones is Sahara and Magreb ) might use the opportunity to hijack this. The multiplier effect is better imagined than experienced.

Kid gloves is the word,carrot and stick approach should be the method, brute should be the last resort. Islam is the majority religion of the Gambia, with around 95.3% of the population being Muslims and Jammeh might also key into this concept of “us against the world” and jihadist will cease this opportunity. We all know the resultant effect.

On the side of the ECOWAS henchman, Nigeria, the giant, the financier of the regional group has risen up to the occasion. Trying to ensure that African countries are democratic the way Saudis are ensuring that all Arab countries are democratic. Is democracy the best form of government? A subject or another day. Back to Nigeria’s role in this Gambia quagmire, it has been reported that Nigeria’s president is keen on having Barrow in because he is of the same Fula ethnicity with Buhari. An indication that has made Nigerians not to be happy with the way Nigeria has sent her warship. The question is , is Nigeria engages in this military campaign for the sake of democracy or Fulani hegemony? A brief dossier of Mr. Barrow: He has been reported to be a member of the Fula ethnic group, which the United Democratic Party (UDP) has said is the second largest ethnic group in The Gambia (the largest being the Mandinka). He has also been reported to be Mandinka, based on his father's ethnicity, but more identified with Fulas in social and cultural terms, having had a Mandinka father and a Fula mother.He grew up speaking the Fula language in a village and district that are primarily Fula, and both of his wives are Fula. (Wikipedia)

Nigeria economy is in recession and some say it's in a depression, engaging in an oversea military campaign shouldn’t be among the primary focus of Buhari and APC led administration. The economy should be the main focus. Yes, agreed, Nigeria must partake in a campaign but not on leadership roles. Nigeria can provide logistic and other supports not deploying warship, frigates and aircraft. It cost a lot to have these military toys in far away Gambia. Though, the Nigerian government has come out to say that, the warship isn’t for an offensive but for evacuation of Nigerians in Gambia! According to Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Special Assistant to President on Muhammadu Buhari on Diaspora Affairs, tweeted that the Nigerian ship that is heading to The Gambia is on standby in case there is a need to evacuate Nigerian nationals.
National Assembly has been slighted by this act of declaration of war in Gambia. The house has been divded and polarized on whether to go or not to go. In the words of Ike Ekweremadu, Deputy Senate President, opined that the Senate wasn’t told about the intention to deploy war crafts to Gambia officially. He said, “This has to do with war and we are not at war with anybody, but for you to send the Nigerian armed forces outside Nigeria, this Senate must be told.” He continued,
“This has to do with war and we are not at war with anybody, but for you to send the Nigerian armed forces outside Nigeria, this Senate must be told.” Ekweremadu said.

Another Senator, Chukwuka Utazi (PDP-Enugu), who raised a point of order, said that President Buhari violated the constitution by deploying troops to Gambia without the approval of the National Assembly. Quoting “Section 4 notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, a President shall not declare a state of war between the Federation and another country except with the sanction of a resolution of both Houses of the National Assembly sitting in a joint session.

“Except with the prior approval of the Senate, no member of the armed forces of the federation shall be deployed on combat duty outside Nigeria” he concluded.

=======================
The  first countries to ban Islam: See how the world is acting fast on the  threat posed by Islam and its barbaric Sharia Law.

Record number of Muslims,  (over 2,000)  deported from Norway as a way of fighting crime.  Since these Muslim criminals have been deported, crime has dropped by a  staggering 72%. Prison Officials are reporting that nearly half of their jail cells are now vacant, Courtrooms nearly empty, Police now  free to attend to other matters, mainly traffic
offenses to keep their  roads and highways safe and assisting the public in as many ways as  they can.

In Germany alone in the last year there were 81  violent attacks targeting mosques.

Austrian police arrested 13 men targeting suspected jihad recruiters.

A Chinese court sends 22 Muslim Imams to jail  for 16 to 20 years for spreading Islam hatred and have executed eighteen Jihadists;  China
campaigns against Separatism (disallowing  Islamist to have  their own
separate state). Muslim prayers banned in government  buildings and
schools in Xinjiang (Western China). Hundreds of Muslim families prepared to leave China for their own safety and return back to their
own Middle Eastern countries.

Muslim refugees  beginning to realize that they are not welcome in Christian countries  because of their violent ways and the continuing wars in Syria and Iraq whipped up by the hideous IS who are murdering young children and using  mothers and daughters as sex slaves.

British Home Secretary  prepares to introduce 'Anti-social Behavior Order' for extremists and  strip dual nationals of their Citizenship. Deportation laws also being prepared.

The Czech Republic blatantly refuses Islam in their  country, regarding it as evil.

Alabama - A new controversial amendment that will ban the recognition
of "foreign laws which would  include Sharia law".

The Polish Defense League issues a warning  to Muslims. 16 States have
all Introduced Legislation to Ban Sharia Law.

Many Muslims in Northern Ireland have announced  plans to leave the country to avoid anti-Islamic violence by Irish  locals. The
Announcement comes after an attack on groups of Muslims in  the city of Belfast, Groups of Irish locals went berserk and bashed  teenage Muslim gangs who were referring to young Irish girls as sluts  and should be all gang raped, according to Islam and ''Sharia  Law''. Even
hospital staff were reluctant to treat the battered Muslim Patients, the majority were given the Band-Aid treatment and  sent home with staff muttering ''Good Riddance''.

North  Carolina bans Islamic "Sharia Law" in the State, regarding it now as a  criminal offence.

Dutch MP's call for removal of all mosques in  the Netherlands. One
Member of the Dutch Parliament said: "We want to clean Netherlands of
Islam".  Dutch MP Machiel De Graaf spoke on  behalf of the Party for Freedom when he said, "All mosques in the  Netherlands should be shut
down. Without Islam, the Netherlands would  be a wonderful safe country to live in, as it was before the arrival of  Muslim refugees''.

World’s most expensive footballer Paul Pogba recently kept guests at a top British hotel awake by “loud sex moans” coming from his bedroom, it has been reported.


Businessmen and women who cried foul to The Sun of London complained about loud parties Pogba has held at the city’s five-star Lowry and erotic noises as he scores in the bedroom between 3am and 4am.

One visitor to Manchester told The Sun they complained to the Lowry staff about his sex moans – but nothing was done so they switched hotels.

The guest, who asked not to be named, said they saw the midfielder at the hotel with singer Dencia, who is half Nigerian and half Cameroonian.

They added: “We stayed at the Lowry and saw Pogba and Dencia together.

“You can’t miss Dencia – she is loud and flash.

“We were staying near them on the third floor of the hotel, so saw them coming and going from his room at the end of the hall-way.

“I settled down to sleep at 2am after getting in late.

“There was loud hip-hop music blaring from his room and lots of giggling.

“It eventually quietened down but between 3am and 4am there was unmistakable moaning and groaning to be heard.

“They didn’t seem to care who heard them. It went on forever.

“It sounded like a porn movie. A few times we heard moans of ‘Paul, babe’ it was very uncomfortable.

“It was impossible not to hear because she was very loud.”

But last night the mystery deepened into the lewd noises coming from the United ace’s hotel room as Dencia insisted they are just pals.

Artist and celebrity manager, Raýmani Zaloumis-Steele, who represents Dencia, said: “She does not have a sexual relationship with Paul Pogba. They are part of the same social circle.”

“During some of the period in question, Dencia was in Europe at a DJ-ing gig, and to promote her multi-million dollar skincare line, Envydia.”

The Sun’s source stayed at the Lowry from September 24 to 30.

The guest said: “The first day I saw Paul and Dencia together was the evening of September 24.

“Dencia wore black outfits and always had boots on.

“The first time I heard the sex noises was between 1am and 2am the following morning.

“I could also hear them on the nights of September 27, 28 and 30 – on that occasion as late as 4am.

“If it wasn’t loud music from his room it was loud moaning.

“The music was as annoying as the sex because it was vulgar hip hop.

“I checked out on September 30. I will never go back to that hotel again.

“The next morning they left the hotel in separate cars.

“We thought it would be a one-off.

“But two days later same thing happened, with loud music heard until late, even ahead of a Manchester United game.

“The night after the game the same thing happened. “There was loud music and at 2am and lots of friends there.

“And moments later the moanings started again. This time it was louder than ever.

“It sounded as if there was wild sex going on in there. It lasted for two hours.

“I noticed Pogba’s girl in the hotel the next day. I realised she was Dencia and began following her on Instagram and Snapchat.

“She wasn’t hiding the fact they are an item.

“She is very flashy just like Pogba but I must admit she is very pretty.

“Pogba happened to score his first goal when she came to stay, so maybe something good came out of the sex the night before.

“We complained to hotel management and they said they will talk to him.

“That was the first night but nothing changed. So we just switched hotels.

“He is a very nice person and always says hello with a smile on his face – now we know why.”

Pogba’s club denied however the accusations.

A Manchester United spokesman told The Sun: “The story is completely untrue.

“Also the Lowry have received no complaints regarding Paul.”

Manchester United midfielder Pogba and Dencia have been spotted together in LA, cruising the city in her famous pink Rolls Royce.

Multi-millionaire rapper Dencia was blasted by critics for launching a skin cream Whitenicious.

Observers branded it an ‘abomination’ for promoting skin-bleaching.

Pictures of Nigeria and Cameroon star Dencia taken in 2011 show her with much darker pigmentation compared to the Whitenicious campaign where she appears several shades lighter.

The Sun told last Saturday how fellow hotel residents have been kept up by music, dancing, shouting and singing from £100million France star Pogba’s room when pals visit.

Club boss Jose Mourinho has also been at the Lowry at least 130 nights and the Red Devils have agreed to pick up the £40,000 tab while Mourinho looks for a house, probably in upmarket Cheshire.

•Adapted from a report in The Sun. Photo, also by The Sun, shows Pogba and Dencia in company of close friends during a nocturnal outing.

Ajibola Ajimobi, one of the daughters of the Oyo State governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has denied being the writer of a post published on Instagram wherein she lashed out and labelled students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomosho as “Generation of mannerless children.”

Governor Ajimobi’s daughter, Ajibola, was said to have, on January 15, 2017, labelled the protesting students “Generation of Mannerless Children” on her Instagram page.

The said post, which was in apparent reaction to the students’ outburst on January 9, read:
“Generation of Mannerless children, they don’t respect their parents , how will they respect the Constitution,” the governor’s daughter said in apparent reaction to the students’ outburst on January 9.

Two hours ago, Ajibola, who is a new mother of twins posted on her Instagram page:

“My attention has been drawn to a series of publications on social media and the internet at large, which claim that I, Mrs Ajibola Ajayi (formerly known as Miss Ajibola Abiola-Ajimobi) “lambasted” and “lashed out” at LAUTECH students calling them “a manner less generation … on my instagram page”.

I wish to state that this story is completely false. It is a malicious publication willfully targeted at maligning and marring my character. This is an example of irresponsible journalism that has now incited hatred and violence against my husband, my children and myself. Over the last 48 hours my reputation has been tarnished and my family and I have been subjected to cyber bullying and harassment. I have also received threats of violence as well as limitless insults as a result of this false publication.
This has now spiraled out of control hence I feel the need to publicly address it since I have received numerous calls from various people, including friends, family members, colleagues and clients.

I wish to further state that the instagram page referred to as “conceited_csj” through which it was alleged that I made the purported statement does not belong to me. Having once been a student myself, I am sympathetic to the plight of the LAUTECH students and empathize with them.

It is unfair that people would publish stories without establishing the authenticity or verifying the truthfulness of the stories they are publishing.

Lastly, I would like to reiterate that this false story, and the resulting negative comments on various social media platforms have brought my husband and I enormous distress.
Thank you.” (sic)

LAUTECH students had on January 9 protested the continued closure of the university since June last year.
The Oyo governor, whose state jointly owns the university, miffed by the outbursts of the protesting students, said the closure of the university for over 7 months was no big deal.
“Your school being locked for eight months is no big deal. Is your school the first to be locked, if this is how you will come to talk to me, go and do your worst, I dare you,” he said.

The action of Ajimobi demonstrates how Nigerians are treated by their leaders or handlers as the case may be and has raised so many imperative questions about us as Africans. Why is it that Nigerians demand respect ,especially the people from Western part of Nigeria. Respect to me isn’t what is demanded but what is deserved. What entitles an individual to respect isn’t how old he is but how he comport himself and what h has achieved . This will translate to respect. Will it be right to respect an assumed corrupt elder than a straightforward young man. By the way,mthose that mess Nigeria up as a country today with their corrupt acts are men in their 70s. How can a sensible man respect such people.

These videos has shown how low our education has fallen. If professors in LAUTECH,especially those in department of economics, MBA classes , Marketing department, Accounts department and Business Administration department can’t find a way to put the school on the path of profitability and self sustainability,then they don’t have any business in that school. They should be fired and department scrapped. You can’t teach what you can’t put in practise . NUC take note of this.

"Baba Awolowo" needs to atone for his crimes even in death. As an untruthful pastor that you also are, you may begin by first asking for your own forgiveness for lying after which you may lead the FORGIVENESS TRAIN for Chief Obafemi Awolowo's forgiveness.

Awolowo did good for his Yoruba people but he was fundamental to the destruction of Nigeria.This is not an accusation, this is a statement of historical fact. The Igbo are diasporic by nature like the FULANI. So if their traveling feet make them beneficiaries of Awolowo's laudable free education program, so be it. Igbo taxes also entitled them to tax benefits which included Awoloso's great free education that was tax funded.

The Yoruba are not great tax, rent, or bill payers still mind you. Awolowo had to pay for it electorally for this when he enforced it against the people's will like Igbo women did against colonial taxation known as ABA WOMEN'S RIOT of 1929. This was long before active nationalist struggle championed by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe even finished his education in America in the 1930s. And about 20 years before Awo earned his very belated degree in law in the 1940s. But the Yoruba were still resisting payment of tax well into independent Nigeria. If you must also know, Zik complained bitterly that the Igbo and other easterners always preferred to pay their taxes to Lagos because it was cheaper there and you could only pay once anywhere in Nigeria in those days.So Igbo money greatly funded Awolowo's Action Group's programmes..

But by the way, who ever stopped the Yoruba from coming to Igbo land to benefit from their business wizardry. Come if you can compete with the masters of the trade. Are the Igbo to blame for your ever insulated traditional nature that makes you to always betray your history of a people who had a very long journey from the near East through northern Nigeria through the Middle belt till you finally settled in Ile Ife through the assistance of a Benin stranger, Oduduwa that had you settled you at Ife by your dubious claim. IFE was the aboriginal land of the Igbo that your ancestors came to share with when they came and became one community until treachery led to its hijack through the instrumentality of Oduduwa who caused a rift between communal brethren under the leadership of Obatala and many more known kings before him and before the arrival of Oduduwa. The present Ooni of IFE at the event remembrance statue erected for Moremi confirmed on national television that Igbo family lines and houses still stand in IFE.

A GREAT HISTORY BETRAYED

But unfortunately, the Yoruba that have the rare privilege of having interactive history across Nigeria's ethnic groups and two global religions of Christianity and Islam, have tragically become insular and too self-focused. They have been further spoilt by nature-assisted closeness to the Atlantic ocean that gave them early access to the White men that made early slaves and also early beneficiaries of educated slaves and also a British decision to make Lagos the capital of British created Nigeria. A decision that further drove the Yoruba into deeper insularity contrary to their long migratory history that had them settling Ife among the original Igbo aborigines with whom they co-habited and became one until the oracle rejected stranger from Benin, Oduduwa hijacked power and leadership that made most of the aboriginal Igbos of Ife to relocate away to found a new town across the Niger rather than stay under a traitorous leadership hijacked from aboriginal Obatala leadership by stranger-dweller of Ife, Oduduwa. This Igbo aboriginals who stayed back continued the fight against the power usurpers and their supporters till they became worshippers of Obatala that have continued that fight of classic betrayal in ritual forms enacted in dramatic forms during their Obatala festivals.

To cover up the lies of their history, those who stayed back in IFE invented a lie that Oduduwa came from heaven to found Ile Ife, just as you Pastor Isaac Awotanmi and the likes of you and your historians have continued to lie in order to alter the truth of Nigerian history as you have just done here. You have not offered any historical fact other than to request that I forgive Awolowo for the crime of providing education and welfare that the Igbo benefitted from as though those were the issues of his many crimes during the civil war that were the chief concern of my piece of writing.

HISTORY AND JOUuRNALISM MANGLED BY THE YORUBA

You want to typically subvert the truth as you people have always done across time in Nigeria from your early access to Western education and from controlling the media that is much like education which the British also gave you through Henry Townsend in Abeokuta. With journalism you have been peddling untrue histories which the just departed Oba of Benin made a palace duty of constantly refuting till he and your also departed Oni of Ife, Oba Sijuwade clashed in a national counter alternative versions of the same history which included Benin swallowing its crime against his son who became great in another land, Ife, requesting his intervention when Benin came to their political and constitutional crisis. The outcome was the offer of Oduduwa's son to Benin that could not integrate well in Benin but put a princess in a family way that led to a child that was never fathered, Eweka, that began a new dynasty in Benin.

(Editing suspended here for sleep at 3pm)

Obafemi Awolowo who has become the modern day Oduduwa of Yoruba land has no doubt done selfishly well for his people. But you can never stop me from completing the story. That the same Awolowo was very central to the tragedy that Nigeria is still entrapped in ad a result of his deadly ambitions to govern like Oduduwa. He not only ran down the leading Yoruba leaders of his time in order to better them all evidence contain in his autobiographical book, AWO (1960). This included the dominant politician of the time, the leading Yoruba politician including his political elders and mentors whose names escape me now that were all founders and members of one of Nigeria's earliest political parties, Nigerian Youth Movement, NYM. When that largely southern Nigerian party was killed due to election between an Ijaw man Ernest Ikoli, Awolowo's political mentor and beneficiary, and an Ijebu-Yoruba man supported by Azikiwe was ruined by the intra-ethnic Yoruba politics that had Awolowo disregarding Azikiwe his self-confessed inspirer whom he used to go cover as a journalist when Azikiwe was a national platform speaker with a PhD from America and a honoured and respected member of the leadership of NYM. It was at the NYM that the Igbo-Yoruba relation was ruined because Zik supported a Yoruba candidate while Awolowo supported the candidate of his mentors who was a newspaper business rival of Zik.

When some members of the Yoruba political elites reconciled with Zik at the founding of the NCNC where even Awolowo's respected Yoruba mentor, became a part of. But Awolowo would not be reconciled. After NCNC was founded in 1944, he went ahead to pursue ethnic agenda of turning Egbe Omo Oduduwa, a Yoruba cultural group into a Yoruba only political party with an initial slogan of THE WEST FOR WESTERNER; even when the old western Nigeria include Benin's, Ishans, Igbos, Ijaws, Isokos, Itsekiri, Urhobo s etc. They were defined out Awolowo's conception and execution of the West that is an all Yoruba party, for the Yoruba that introduced tribalism and negative ethnicism into politics in Nigeria. Forca better understanding of this, go an read Zik's profound concern of Awolowo's poisonous politics in his book, ZIK, A SELECTION OF SPEECHES, 1961. You may also read Awolowo's own account in his 1960 autobiography where he confessed to forming Action Group secretly and away from Zik's knowledge when he was away in 1951. He wrote about the tribalistic beginning of AG even with self limp locator pride the same way he wrote his Yoruba political elders and mentors.

It was because that orientation and party could not give him a national lift beyond western Nigeria after he had been its Premier that the expansion of the party beyond Yoruba land commenced. Other ethnic groups in the then West were never made comfortable nor ever felt comfortable as part owners of a region the Yoruba were dominant in population and politics.

Awolowo's desperation to rise above his own self-limiting ethnic creation got him into by first wanting to resurrect a quasi national party, NYM after Zik and its followers its soul by funding and by Zik's popular Pilot newspaper projection, which he failed at. Not even with the repeated effort in partnership with his mentor who returned to Nigeria from abroad after he tratoriously left the NYM and the national struggle, the man to whom Awo ascribe the writing of the NYM constitution to take up a corporate job and later moved abroad.

Awo later joined another national party, National Emergency Movement, NEM which was formed as a national reaction to the colonial killing of the Enugu coal workers where he took up a leading position and function which he betrayed in an anti-party activities. It was while he was in NEM as a top official that Awolowo was simultenously and clandestinely forming his all-Yoruba Action Group party. So it was Awolowo's inability to play nationally that he went ahead to poison Nigeria with ethnic politics in the only party he succeeded with, his ethnic Action Group. To his credit , he grew it sizeable to the point of challenging the other ethnic and regionally and Islamically inspired party on the same evil year if Nigerian politics, 1951, the Northern Peoples'Congress, NPC; AG's twin partner in tribalising, ethnicising, regionalising and even religionising Nigeria by its Fulani trado-religious leader Ahmadu Bello.

The combination of these two ideological twins born in different regions but bound by the same me, myself and I politics of my people first before Nigeria, overthrew the nationalist and pan African politics by which Zik of Igbo extraction had galvanised Nigeria to independence. The TWO OF THREE IDEOLOGICAL TRIUMPH of these Zik inspirer and standard bearer by their own written confessions in their autobiographies, plunged Nigeria on a poisonous foundation of ethnic politics from which Nigeria is still suffering from. An evil performance that repeated itself in the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu driven, but Awolowo inspired APC political formation and electoral victory that was a schemed along the Islamic belt Nigeria from the west to the North held by a political marriage. A repeat of history in sectional politics that had a conspiratorial connivance of a FOUR TO TWO regional defeat of Zik's old Eastern region of the two new regions of the South East and the Niger delta's South-South by the marriage of the two old twin ideological sectionalists now four new political regions. The mess that Bola Tinubu's jagaban violent politics of forceful must-win
has plunged the nation into, is the only way to understand what Awolowo's cantercerous do or die politics was about. It was this type of politics that Zik so warned Nigeria and Awolowo about, and the danger it portended for a young country before and after independence that neither Awolowo nor the nation would harken to that led to the termination of the
FIRST REPUBLIC by military men who planned another coup to secure power for Awolowo by arms and bullets that Awolowo and his Action Group party failed to secure by armed struggle to overthrow the same Tafawa Balewa's government that they were planning from Ghana. For this they went to jail from around 1963 before the younger group of socialist military boys beat their conservative military boys to the coup gambit in January 1966. led largely by Igbo soldiers for Awolowo according to their confessions who was already serving a jail sentence in Calabar.

It is the same Awolowo for whom this was done, for whom Igbo soldiers in a a bid to save a collapsing nation arising largely from the rivalry between Awolowo and his former political lieutenant who had jumped ship to the rival side, Chief Ladoke Akintola. Their rivalry led to the burning of the Yoruba land in their deadly "wetie operations" that involved the burning of the houses of political rivals till it became a wildfire that gave the Yoruba the nickname "the wild, wild west"; for their politics of violence that was another Awolowo legacy that his over promoters always love to be silent about. But about which Zik used every platform to warn about before it went out of hand.

This was the new Nigeria of great hopes and expectations of a newly birthed Nigeria that Awolowo's political war with the North via the agency of his former ethnic-politics deputy, Akintola in a partnership with Ahmadu Bello of the northern NPC to takeover the West of Yoruba land. This was the situation the socialist military sought to save in favour of their supported socialist party, Awolowo's Action Group for which many idealist Igbo socialist middle level soldiers, Majors in the Nigerian army led by Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna sought to stop and save.

The bigger tragedy of it all was that this socialist group of soldiers that only happen to be bearing Igbo names carried out a socialist or nationalist action based on their ideological persuasion and military defence training and not on their cultural breeding for which they were called IGBO COUP and coupists. The larger tragedy was that a bigger tragedy followed their own killings of the leadership of the leadership of the day which comprised largely of the North, which led to the ethnic genocide of largely Igbo in a pogrom, counter coup and a civil war. The worst of all the tragedies was that the same Awolowo for whom Igbo soldiers sacrificed their lives and not for their own, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe whose government by partnership with the North is being overthrown, were the ones that the same Awolowo recommended extended genocide by hunger throw his proposed policy of STARVATION AS A WEAPON OF WAR for which many Igbos died without sparing the future, the Igbo children killed by malnourishment leading to quashiokor.

So Pastor Isaac Awotanmi, this is the other untold truth of your cultural hero of free education, your "Baba Awolowo" that you cynically asked me to forgive giving Igbos who lived in Yoruba land free education. SO WHO NOW NEEDS FORGIVING from these litany of crimes from an over ambitious desperado of power and violent politics? I dare to rest my pen as I await another attempt to falsify Nigerian history as always.

Lately ,Ladoke Akintola University also known as LAUTECH is once more in news. This time it's not all about the ownership tussle between the twin states of Osun and Oyo , but between the students,whom we have learnt that have been at home for more than eight months doing absolutely nothing and wants their school to be re opened which has demonstrated their love for education and the Oyo state government headed by Mr. Ajimobi trying to talk them down. In an act that close watchers term as high handedness and ineptitude from Oyo Government.


“Your school being locked for eight months is no big deal. Is your school the first to be locked, if this is how you will come to talk to me, go and do your worst, I dare you,” Oyo state government position to the closed school.

The governor's response to he students agitation for their loved education institution to be opened too the nation and the world by supervised . When he asked a rhetorical question like " am I the one that closed the school ". This video can be likened to Mussolini action to the Italians and a form of tyrant administration ,whose only stock in trade is to talk down the opponents with brute instead of superior argument. That is the position of Oyo state government

Nigerians didn't expect to see such a grotesque dance of shame ,then came the canary or do we say the mockingbird of a daughter , Ajimobi daughter came out in defence of the father, as a loving daughter will do for a respect demanding not deserving father. She came all out firing from all cylinders. Hear her

“Generation of Mannerless children, they don’t respect their parents , how will they respect the Constitution,” Ajibola Ajomobi said in apparent reaction to the students.

We totally understand the cultural milieu of the event, a Yoruba culture that demands respect to an elderly man even those that don't deserve respect. A culture that respect is first demanded instead of logical reasoning. Those who totally understand the cultural nuances that the lady was talking from and also her role as a dotting daughte ,will never blame her but she has spoken. We that are not from that cultural miasma has been taken aback by such a statement.

People are disturbed over such acts of official high handedness and distancing from the people. One of the people we engaged has this to say.

"Oyo’s Gov Ajimobi wants students to beg him for failing in or refusing to do his job & he claims to be “constituted authority, Shameful! "Chidi Odinkalu , a social media commentator .

Though a counter video has been released that is in support of Oyo state government. In a bid to have a damage control. The second video by Abiola Ajimobi PR team and protesting students of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology has been released by the governor’s Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Yomi Olayinka.


The video was released in response to an earlier video of the encounter that showed the governor criticising the students and telling them to do whatever they wanted to do.

First and second video has shown how the average Nigerian leaders take Nigerians.

"To have leaders in Nigeria such as Ajimobi who boast in their incompetencies without remorse, sympathy and conscience is no way forward" said Ekube Steteman

Though the states (Oyo and Osun) seem to have come back to their sanity courtesy of the video and the show of shame. They are pledging 250 million each for the running of the school, as it seems though not confirmed. This is always the usual with Nigeria government. Always throwing money at problems without nipping the problem at the bud. So have they demonstrated by throwing money at the school.

This action of Ajimobi has raised so many imperative questions about us as Africans. Why is it that Nigerians demand respect ,especially the people from Western part of Nigeria. Respect to me isn't what is demanded but what is deserved. What entitles an individual to respect isn't how old he is but how he comport himself and what h has achieved . This will translate to respect. Will it be right to respect an assumed corrupt elder than a straightforward young man. By the way,those that mess Nigeria up as a country today with their corrupt acts are men in their 70s. How can a sensible man respect such people. The earlier Yoruba people redefine their concept if respect and other tribes in Nigeria...The better for the country. This is giving Nigeria kids a bad role model.


This tussle between Oyo and Osun over LAUTECH is a macabre , disgracing and shameful. Yoruba pride themselves as people that re sophisticated especially in the realms of administration. They must find a lasting cure to this act. Maybe they should borrow from their Eastern counterpart. Imo state and Abia state....Imo as an older state built the first state university known as Imo state university,then Abia state was created, the university was located in a place that is almost border around Uturu. Imo state in the spirit of brotherhood and fast paced development decided to leave the new state Abia state with the university as a parting gift. The university is in a borderline but Imo let go. These states can't afford the fight that will distract them from development. Today the school has been renamed from Imsu to Absu. Then Imo state went ahead and upgraded a secondary school in Owerri to a top notch university. That's administration and intellectual sagacity . Absu has their main campus today in Uturu which is in Abia state but majority of the students live in Okigwe a city in Imo state. This is a win win for both states. Why can't Oyo and Osun copy this simple model.


Next disturbing question is that, why can't the school be self sufficient. If the school isn't self sufficient, they must find a way to be. Education is a money spinner and they must think about how they can be making money without relying on handout from the government. This as shown how low our education has fallen. If professors in LAUTECH,especially those in department of economics, MBA classes , Marketing department, Accounts department and Business Administration department can't find a way to put the school on the path of profitability and self sustainability,then they don't have any business in that school. They should be fired and department scrapped. You can't teach what you can't put in practise . NUC take note of this.

Ajimobi action with his daughter has shown how African leaders view those led. When education isn't given priority in a place. This action has shown that in today's know how economy ,people still demand respect though forgetting that respect is deserved.

If eventually the university gets the money ,my respect doesn't and wouldn't go to the Oyo or Osun government . My respect wouldn't go to university dons,because they have been mute. We haven't heard the Vice Chancellor statement. My respect goes to the students that took their destiny in their hands. My respect goes to the youths that deployed the use of Technology to escalate an already localised problem. Above all, my respect goes to Google and YouTube for inventing a medium where such things can be viewed globally without the antics of media gate keeping. These are those that demand my respect

A crafty piece this is, Mr. Seye Aluko. Is it addressing pastor E. A Adeboye’s resignation, or is it taking advantage of his big status in Nigeria to sneak in the Grail message.




There is certainly no connection between the event of Adeboye’s resignation from Redeemed Church, and the bigger event of the purpose of Jesus’s mission on earth that became the warped excuse to bandy the Grail message’s view of Jesus the Christ. Though I find your founder’s perspective very refreshing.

Jesus has remained the issue of all the religions that came before and after him. Judaism foretold him, Christianity manifested him, Islam sought to reposition him, and all the other smaller religions like the Grail Movement all sought enduring relevance through him by taking a climb on him. They all needed to spring forth new religions by re-explaining or condemning Christ Jesus because they could not have been able to stand alone.

Had Paul the Apostle also gone their way with all the heavy spiritual downloads he got from God, he would have readily founded a thriving new religion in his name instead of the name of the one he came to bear witness to. Paul like John the Baptiser, came to the full recognition that THE LORD MUST INCREASE WHILE I DECREASE. John, even though the first cousin of Jesus and his senior by 6months, still said ” his shoes lashes I am not worthy to un-tye.”

BUT AMBITIOUS NAME SEEKERS HAVE GONE ON TO FOUND FOR THEMSELVES NEW RELIGIONS that they may be followed by men and women. This is my experience from having some after-taste of other religions when I got dissatisfied with God and Christianity.

My question is, are Ikas and Ukwuania culturally Igbo or not?

Are ijebus and eguns cultural cultural​ly Yoruba


If you can answer them then their lies your answers

Mujaheeeden:
Go to all these Yoruba women selling lace in Oshodi.


You will sell that your Stretch Mark cream that Forbes will add your name to list of billionaire in African.




Don't thank me


Jux doing it for love

So so funny

You are just too funny

All these arm chair linguistics teachers can't even differentiate between language and dialect.


So much daftness here



How can you speak a different language yet I don't need an interpreter .

If there is Igboid language that is different from Igbo...If means that both won't even understand each other unless they employ an interpreter


But if they don't , then they speak same language but different dialect


If an anambra man can understand the guy in Agbor and they can communicate ..Then they speak Igbo with different dialect and accent . There is nothing like Igboid language ...Because the term language rubbishes all other postulations


You guys have to give Igbo a break



This stupidity is getting out of hand

Probz:
And I'm saying that the Enuani, spoken in parts of Delta North, is an Igbo dialect and that the remaining two languages in Anioma (Ika and Ukwuani) are Igboid.

It's my understanding that Ngwa, Onitsha, Awka, etc., (even the less intelligible Waawa) are all dialects of the Igbo language. Ikwerre, Ika, Ogba, and the more divergent Ukwuani and Ekpeye are all Igboid languages.

Just like there's speakers of Yoruba and Igala and Itsekiri speakers. Igala and Itsekiri speak Yoruboid languages but they're not Yoruba.

My problem is with eastern Igbos calling every south-southerner who happens to speak an Igboid language (not even Igbo dialect) as Igbo because of linguistic similarities. Yorubas don't claim Igalas and Itsekiris in the way Igbos like to claim Ogbas and Ekpeyes.

It's not the average Nigerian that differentiates between Igbo proper vs. Igboid in Anioma or any other south-south region but it actually makes sense given how the Igbo denial wanes as you move further east from Agbor/Ika to Asaba (even though exceptions do exist). My reasoning is that these people may well be right to reject any affiliation with an ethnic group they don't even belong to but that the average Nigerian lumps in as 'Delta Igbo' for political reasons or convenience.

But the Igbo man in Anambra can understand the ukwuani man


And also ukwuani and oguta speaks exactly same

So ukwuani is Igboid language
Oguta is Igbo dialect


Ikwerre and ohaji speaks almost same dikaects
So ikwerre is an Igboid language
Ohaji is an Igbo dialect


Your definition is so faulty so faulty


If the Anambra man can understand the ukwuani man without the aid of interpreter ..Then ukwuani speaks same language with Anambra but a different dialect



You guys must stop this Igboid madness...Why always Igbo . What about hausaoid language

Linguists, however, do make a distinction between the two based on the concept of mutual intelligibility. Two languages where speakers can understand each other are considered dialects of the same language, whereas two languages where the speakers cannot understand each other are, indeed, separate languages.

This often isn't black and white, since understand can be a hard criterion to pin down. There's no well-established way this has been operationalized.

It is going to be a showdown between the Federal Government and the NLC as the body has concluded plans to embark on a nationwide strike.





The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has threatened to embark on has threatened a nationwide strike from May 1 next year if the federal government refused implementation of the N56,000 new national minimum wage it proposed.



He made the announcement in a statement on Wednesday by NLC President, Ayuba Wabba during a meeting in Abuja.
“The issue of minimum wage remains sacrosanct because of the fact that by law and practice, the review is due and overdue. I have said clearly that we cannot guarantee any industrial peace any longer if necessary steps are not taken by government to try to resolve this issue before the next May Day.


“This is very clear because as we said, we have sent formal notice of demand as required by law to government to try to constitute the committee.


“Essentially, the committee to dialogue and negotiate the minimum wage which is supposed to be tripartite has not been set up. If it is set up, all of you will be aware of the membership and also their terms of reference and the timeline given to them to actually dispose with this very vital issue.


“The issue is so sensitive because of the fact that a lot of our members have actually been subjected to a lot of difficulties because the purchasing power of ordinary Nigerian workers has been reduced to virtually nothing because of the inflation in the system, the free fall of the naira and to compound it with high cost of goods and services.


“More so, most workers now cannot meet up with their daily needs, they can’t pay their rents, they can’t send their children to school.
“It is even more compounded because cost of goods and services has gone up. So, side by side with the issue of fighting corruption is also for workers to be paid a decent wage that they can be able to have a meaningful living, so, this is the challenge.


“They must see reason to try to accommodate it because the fact is very obvious that it is legitimately due both in law and practice and therefore this is our approach.


“Therefore let us not mix two things, is there a resistant to say that there will be no review of minimum wage? I am not sure I have heard that because by our constant interaction, the government has through the Minister of Labour said they are also willing to review the minimum wage.


“As I said earlier, we have made a formal demand, written and therefore if there is the need to review the template, we will do that at the table but that will have to be jointly. What we have submitted is N56,000 and therefore that N56,000 is still valid,” he said..... https://etimesafrica./2016/12/27/%e2%80%8bnlc-may-likely-go-on-nationwide-strike-over-n56000-minimum-wage/#more-3651

Probz:
It's no worse than lumping two quite disparate groups under the overarching term of a tribe they're only somehow related to inguistically.

Igala and Itsekiri people speak a Yoruboid language but no one calls them Yoruba. I'm aware Igbo has greater linguistic diversity and there's more Igboid than Yoruboid languages. It doesn't mean that the Igboid-speaking communities are Igbo.

How do you differentiate Igboid from Igbo


Are you mistaking dialect from language


Delta north speak Igbo and are Igbo
North River state till bonny and opobo speak
