Politics / Re: Amaechi Is Like Biblical Esther, He Has Shamed His Enemies – APC by Anseth(m): 11:28pm On Oct 22, 2015
I have collated names of every APC sympathizer praising Buhari and the National Assembly for the successful screening of Amaechi as Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
While it is your inalienable right to support whoever you wish, I want to see the day any of you will come on social media to accuse Deziani, Okonjo or any other person of corruption in this country... Shameless hypocrites ..

Someone inbox me this claims below

I will advise you search and Read the Book "Lets Biafra" as your Submission here is Contrary. Literally the Word Biafra was coinned from the Umuahia ibo dialect"Bia Fra' which Means "Come lets Leave"
This Statement spurred when the ibos were been
Killed carelessly in the North in the early Stage of the
disagreement between Col . Ojukwu and Gen.Yakubu
Gowan. Because of this constant barbaric Killings of
the Ibos, this Acronym "Biafra" become a Common
slogan amongst the which literally Translates to
"COME LETS LEAVE FOR HOME" Home here,
Meaning back to the Eastern Region of this Country
since they were No Longer Safe in the Northern and
Southern Regions.

Show me the Portuguese village. I'm simply trying to tell you people that the word Biafra is a corruption of town names in Cameroon which the Europeans used to name the coast. There is not Portuguese village known as Biafra. Now people are trying to put a biblical spin on it.

Nobody is putting biblical spin on anything.. you choose to see it only from your one way direction.. ask yourself was there a place called " Bight Of Biafra" before 1960 ? now called Bight Of Bonny after the civil war .. where ever the name hails from is not as important as it is name we are known for.. it has been existing before the civil war..
Your ego is just driving you wild bro.. calm down..take a chill pill and watch as the country BIAFRA unfolds its self..

Biafra is not a Portuguese words, it's probably a corruption of a town name in Cameroon. There is no Portuguese village named Biafra.

It seems you too much of the Igbo/ Biafra history / tradition right? .so tell me what is your anger about the origin of Biafra or the Igbo as a race/tribe? I see you either don't know it or you choose to antagonise anybody that provides Information..saying it might be a corruption of a town in Cameroon confirms you have a deep hatred for the Igbos.

Biafra isn't an Igbo word nor coin from Igbo language, it's of Portuguese origin dating back to the 15th century, in fact, in present day Portugal, there's a town named Biafra. The word Biafra was taken from the Bight of Biafra, renamed Bight of Bonny by Federal Government after the Biafran Nigerian War to obliterate Biafra from Nigerians' conscienceness.

Politics / Biafra Is Not The Cause Of Nigeria's Problem, It Is A Suggested Solution. by Anseth(m): 1:05am On Oct 21, 2015
Why are Nigerans so pussilanimous? Why cannot we just say it as it is and then having identified the problem, go about looking for a solution. When Igbos say they want to secede, is it from the Niger Deltan or Yoruba? When the Yorubas talk secession, do they really rejoice at parting ways with Igbos or Niger Deltans? When Niger Deltans revolt, when Ken Saro Wiwa spoke and now that Asari speaks, is it not against "the Gambaris" as he calls them? Who are the problem of the middle-belt? Who slaughters the Northern minorities? What tribe or people will see a movie in the US about Prophet Mohammed and begin to slaughter people? What people say if their son is not president they will render the nation ungovernable? I have been alive long enough to know Yorubas and Igbos have no problem really. The Yoruba and Igbo problem is that the Yorubas BETRAY them. From who do they betray them if not over a certain people? When Niger Deltans accuse Yorubas and feel betrayed, is it that they have a problem with Yorubas for being Yorubas or because Yorubas support a certain tribe? The issues are clear. We only are afraid to tell this tribe that they are the problem with Nigeria. Shettima and I seem to be the only one telling the North..the core North comprising Haus-Fulani and such other tribes up North that they are "keeping Nigeria backward". Backward, yes backward. They are the ones that will want to score 2 points out of 400 and still want to dominate the Federal Unity school or Federal Universities. They are the ones who will say Western education is bad and not want to send their children to school and yet want them to head NNPC and all agencies including the army and immigration and Customs. Head? Yes like a husband in a marriage, an abusive husband, the brutalize the wife and say "divorce me and I will kill you". They are the elder brother who did not go to school yet beats up his brighter younger brothers and insist on keeping all the father's wealth to himself. That is the North. Like one Fulani told an Afenifere during the GEJ Conference, "Independence is not won in negotiation tables but on battlefields". That is the type of forced abusive relations that is the Nigerian marriage FORCED, ABUSIVE NON- WORKING HUSBAND TAKING ALL THE WIVES PROPERTIES AND SALARY AND THREATENING TO KILL HER should she leave him. Leave him? Gideon Orkar and Ogboru in 1990 excised certain parts of the North. Go and look at the excised areas and see if they are not the catchment areas of murder and Boko Haram. Boko Haram, are only Northerners Muslims? Are Middle Belt and Yorubas not Muslims? Have they ever forced anyone to accept Sharia law and become Muslim or murder over mere cartoon of Prophet Mohammed done in Holland? Is it not the Northerner Muslims who add their violent culture to Islam and become murderers and bombers? Yet it is the Igbos that are the bad guys because they talk secession. It is the Niger Deltans that are militants because they ask for for share of their oil that is owned by the North in a devilish arrangement. Oduduwa Republic only gets talked about when Fulanis go murdering over mere cattle. The Middle- Belt/North Central are left confused because the North they are a part of consider them as mere appendages and springboard to their selfish overlordship ambitions and slaughter them whenever they please. So Please, whenever BIAFRA is mentioned, know BIAFRA IS NOT THE PROBLEM. Shettima and the Sultan know the problem and they know it is the vast majority of them core Northerners. (Yes, there are some pretty brilliant ones who know what I am saying is the bitter truth) So until the rest of Nigeria calls the North to order instead of continuously ceding leadership to them, until the Northerners realize that violence is not the way to keep a marriage or union, I am afraid that the cries of BIAFRA, Oduduwa, Niger Delta Republic and other agitations for a Balkanized Nigeria will not cease and might lead to ultimate violence and mass death. But The Hausa-Fulanis are making this country "tire person" and it is to them we must turn our full glare and query, instead of bickering and saying "you betray me," etc FACE THE VILLAIN and tell him to shape up or be cut off. THEY SHOULD BE THE ONES LEAVING THE REST OF US IF THEY CANNOT STAY WITH US. The rest of Nigeria HAS NO PROBLEM

1) Biafran agitation has nothing to do with HYDROCARBON/CRUDE OIL deposits in Niger Delta. Imo, Abia, Anambra are currently oil producing states in Nigeria with huge natural gas reserves, not forgetting the enormous untapped coal deposits in Enugu! (2) Biafra is not land-locked. It has numerous access to the sea, including through the River Niger. (3) Biafra entire population is about 35 million people which is greater than the population many advanced countries in Western Europe, including Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland, Austria....etc (4) Biafra does not or in any form signify war, violence, armed struggle or any sort of physical confrontation. BIAFRA IS NOT WAR! It simply means political, economic and socio-cultural freedom from a feudalist State ruled by terrorists and Jihadists. (5) Biafra is not a call for massive exodus to Igbo land. Put differently, every Igbo or Biafran must not live in Biafra land. Those who wish could still maintain their residency wherever they are as well as own properties anywhere in the world, including Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano, Abeokuta…etc. (6) Independent and sovereign Biafra will never translate to loss or forfeiture of landed properties of her citizens in Lagos, Abuja or anywhere in Nigeria. There are many domestic and international treaties, conventions and laws that protects Assets of non- citizens everywhere in the World, that will apply appropriately. (7) The NEW BIAFRA shall be a coalition of desirous and willing ethnic nationalities in defunct Eastern Nigeria and would never be a forceful annexation of any unwilling ethnic nationality within its current geo- political definition. Ijaws, Ogonis, Ibibio, Anangs, Efiks, Ogojas, and host of other ethnic minorities shall possess the privilege to decide whether to tango politically with their Igbo brethren or go their own separate ways. (cool Biafra is a train of peace and liberty. A desire for liberation from institutionalised stumbling blocks like quota system and federal character principles in Nigeria’s quasi-unitary society. It is a movement against internal colonialism, tribal gang-ups, economic marginalisation and political subjugation of Igbo and her minority neighbours. (9) It has nothing to do with hate, bigotry or ethnic chauvinism. Just a desire to live in a healthy society where your tribe, tongue, religion or creed does not define who you are or how far you would go in your career!

Politics / The Name Biafra, Its Origin And Meaning: by Anseth(m): 10:44pm On Oct 20, 2015
There was a Biafra before 1967which lost its sovereignty to colonial powers. “ Early modern maps of Africa from the 15th-19th centuries, drawn by European cartographers from accounts written by explorers and travellers, reveal that the original word used by the European travellers was not Biafra but Biafara, Biafar and sometimes also Biafares.” Now let me correct one impression about the meaning of Biafra as some believed it is a name given by Portuguese explorers. Biafara people are already known and addressed as Biafara people before they came in contact with the first European merchants. The word Biafra has its generics from “Ephraim” as pointed out by Martin Simon Ukegbe (a religious activist who suggested that the new Republic of Biafra of 1967 be called the Christian Democratic Republic of B”Ephrayim) the B there signifies the bay or bight so the word Biafara or Biafar has its root from B”Ephraim but the Europeans at that time called it Biafar-Biafara or Biafares. Researchers hold the view that the region is inhabited by descendants of Ephraim. Mitchell map of 1839 stated that the important estuaries from where the rivers flow into the ocean is called Ephraim town which is located 60 miles from River Nun which is in the south-south Nigeria today. The river is named after Nun the father of Joshua of the tribe of Ephraim. Biblical meaning of the name “EPHRAIM” is “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction”. The question now is who are the most afflicted, deprived and mostly killed in the contraption called Nigeria “Biafra people” who are the most fruitful, blessed by nature and skills within the contraption called Nigeria “Biafra people” before 1967-1970 genocide war against Biafran people they have been killed in their thousands by the Northerners and Westerners 1966, during the war, all the public facilities where completely destroyed, that includes Schools, Hospitals, Markets, Power plants, Churches, Post offices, Biafra land (south-east Nigeria and some part of South-south) where desolate with no life sustaining amenities, after the war in1970, Awolowo the finance minister gave £20 to every Biafra no matter the amount you have in your bank account, and declared all their properties outside Igbo land abandoned property, including Port Harcourt where Ikwere Igbos denied their Igbo identity with the intention of annihilating and breaking the spirit of Igbo to make them perpetual beggars and people of no hope for the future. The rest are history today which you can confirm for yourself. Today an average Igbo man that has his Igbo identity are far much better than every other Nigeria from all perspective, you can disprove that if you think otherwise. Biafran Ethnic Nationalities: Ibos (Igbo speaking Biafrans), Ijaws (speaking Kalabari, Edoid, Izon language etc) others includes: Ibibio-Efiks and Ogojas, and this Great Nation has been coexisting thousands of years ago as Biafra people many centuries before losing her sovereignty to colonial powers before being balkanized into various countries like Guanine Bissau, Kamerun, etc, the Archaeological evidence and African Ancient map stands as a proof that Biafra people are a nation and are Indigenous people Origin and meaning of Igbo/Ibo as a language and people: (this part is written in Ibo Biafra perspective and all other Biafra Ethnic Nations shared same experience and linkage with their Ibo Brothers,

Politics / History 101: Why buhari and APC are denying their Campaign Promises by Anseth(m): 10:11pm On Sep 02, 2015
1978. First time huge amount went missing in the
history of Nigeria. It went missing from Petroleum
Ministry (no be today that office be racket). Buhari
DENYING DENIED that he knew anything about it.
The Senate President's father then alive, Saraki,
headed the commision to investigate. And 1983 coup
happened. The rest is not history as it is denied.
1983. A coup takes place while good people were
enjoying Christmas, Ileya, New year etc. One Sanni
Abacha read the speech. One Muhamadu Buhari
became head of state.
Later when coup was to go out of fashion, same
Buhari that headed the coup said he was not a part of
it. That he was summoned to head the coup after
Babangida took it.
Hmmmmmm. Why would Babangida call a man who is
not part of the coup, was 2 years his junior (yes oh.
Them say Babangida senior bros Buhari) in age, nor
was MNI and such other military additions, TO HEAD
HIS COUP? Okay, Babangida does not like sugar? He
risked his life for Buhari to enjoy abi? Yet Buhari has
successfully denied his participation in thecoup till date
even though his speeches said he had to take the coup
to save Nigeria. Okay na!
1995-1999. 87 Billion to PTF, 25 Billion unaccounted
for.
Buhari as head of PTF and with his inlaw from Daura,
owner of APC-Cosortium that all contracts were passed
through. So much money went missing and again
Buhari becomes again a DENYING DENIER.
Just that any office he holds huge moneys go missing
and he becomes a DENYING DENIER
2004. DENIES FOR ABACHA
"Abacha did not steal a kobo" he says. face
expressionless. Eyes deep in its sockets. Not a single
smile to show he is just joking. Serious like a heart
attack, he DENIES on behalf of the Abachas.
2015." IT IS WITH MILITARY BOARD."
While this may not be a denial per se, but the very
brazenness of the lie.... GOD ABEG OOOOO!!!!!!!
2010-2015." I DONT KNOW WHAT IS CALLED
SUBSIDY.".
A former leader and NNPC boss and PTF boss that saw
Abacha import fuel and sell to Nigerians at seriously
subsidized rates said with unblinking eyes, I DONT
KNOW WHAT IS CALLED SUBSIDY.
In a month of being president, he not only knows what
subsidy is, but is paying more and also says "THERE
IS NO GENUINE REASON TO STOP SUBSIDY.
This denial must find its place of dishonour in the
annals of economics and history of Nigeria. Sadly, he
will deny he denied that he denied....
Now take all the promises, from the APC manifesto
which has the free meal etc, to the 100 days document
and covenant, to his relative he made INEC boss as
she does the denying for him this time to EVERY
SINGLE THING PUT OUT BY APC. The denying
denier has denied them all.
I will be surprised if there are not some children in
some corners that he has denied being a father of.
Against my better judgement, I ask that you all read
about the TAAQIYA and KITMAN which literally is
"There are two forms of lying to non-believers that
are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and
kitman. when you read it, you will understand
whyBuhari, as a true Muslim can feel so free to deny
and lie.

Politics / Southerners Are To Blame.. by Anseth(m): 9:54pm On Aug 28, 2015
The State Of The Nation....My Random Thoughts
I am writing this post with a lot of caution and
trepidation. I have never subscribed to ethnic
chauvinism and I actually detest being labelled as a
tribal bigot. I am usually very careful because I have
friends and colleagues from every part of the nation
and some of my best friends are not even from my side
of the country.
However, recent events are making me to have a
deeper reflection and I wish we- Southerners in this
instance- can have some kind of introspection. Out of
25 appointments made so far, 18 are from the North, 3
are from the South West, 4 are from the South South
while the South East has ZERO appointments. A tweet
which I saw today stated that "southerners are only
competent when it's time for elections but northerners
are competent in terms of governance" and this made
the following thoughts run through my mind:


1. Only Southerners have been accusing fellow
Southerners of corruption. Oshiomole has been
attacking Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as if Ngozi turned
down his marriage proposal. The same Oshiomole tried
to make nonsense of Akinwumi Adeshina's successes in
the agriculture sector. Ambode tried to pull Fashola
down and successfully smeared him with stains. Maybe
that's why Fashola did not get the Chief of Staff role.
I'm yet to see a Northerner accuse another Northerner
of corruption, even when they belong to different
parties. The closest a Northerner got was when the
new Kano State Governor attacked Rabiu Kwankaso
but he quickly sheathed his sword and even disowned
previous reports of attacks. Why are we like this?


2. Are Southerners the only ones who are corrupt?
Were there no northerner heading the ministries and
parastatals? Did the outgone Comptroller-General of
Customs, Abdullahi Dikko not have an alleged case of
certificate forgery but he still served out his tenure
until he resigned voluntarily? I'm not in support of
corruption under any guise but the fight against
corruption must not be seen to be sectional.


3. How come it's easier for the President to believe
that Sanni Abacha was not corrupt in spite of
recovered loot while it is so easy for him to believe
Goodluck Jonathan is irredeemably corrupt?


4. I still remember that aside from God, Tinubu made
Tambuwal what he is today. The same Tambuwal
would later call Femi Gbajabiamila 'incompetent' and
rated Dogara as more competent. The same Tambuwal
was propped up by Tinubu, a Southerner against a
fellow Southerner, Mulikat Akande. Obasanjo was very
key to denying Goodluck Jonathan a second term. A
good number can still recall how OBJ tore his PDP
membership card in public glare. The Northerners find
it easy to support themselves but we are always
pulling ourselves down. Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido
and all the other Northern Governors including the
former PDP Chairman Adamu Muazu often times
refused to campaign for Goodluck Jonathan openly and
many times even espoused the virtues of the opposing
candidate on the rostrum!


5. Southern leaders and Presidents pull down Southern
business men but prop up Northern ones. How many
people still remember how Obasanjo ran Mike Adenuga
out of town but both Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan
made Aliko Dangote what he is today. No northern
leader goes against their own. I dare to put it on
record that President Buhari will never go against
Aliko Dangote for any reason.


6. How come OBJ pardoned Salisu Buhari, the ex-
Speaker who forged his credentials and he later was
given an appointment as a Governing Council member
of a University and heavens did not fall- but when
Goodluck Jonathan pardoned Alamieyeseigha it became
one of the major issues counted against him? Is there
one rule for some and another rule for others?


7. We find it easy to raise our voices in support of
the deportation of Buruji Kashamu but have no qualms
with Atiku Abubakar strutting around the corridors of
power.


8. Only Southerners find it so easy to abuse their
elders when they voice opinions not in tandem with the
popular opinion. We find it easy to diss Afenifere
elders and call them 'Afenifebi' while hurling
expletives and curses at them. We even abuse our
kings and priests. Northerners will never abuse an
Emir no matter how unpopular what he said is. Can
you imagine any Northerner raising his voice against
the Sultan? In spite of Tanko Yakassai, Balarabe Musa
and Dangiwa Umar's perceived support for Jonathan,
northern youths did not abuse them. But our own
youths run down our elders on social media while our
educated elite also support the act.


These are some of the thoughts that have been running
through my mind. I don't pretend to have all the
answers and I do this at the risk of being labelled an
ethnic bigot. The point however is that Southerners

in order. The bickering must stop. Let's engage our
emotional intelligence. Let's not allow others to exploit
our tendency to self-destruct.
Just my one cent....
