You will vote Hell Rufai of all people?

Go and ask Kaduna people wetin dem eyes see under that terrorist financer.

Even Atiku will not get PDP ticket and no way will PDP accept Obi back.

The dark Swan candidate will be from a fresh party from the north that will be unapologetically Pro northern.

Atiku , Obi and He'll Rufai don't stand a chance .

WhizdomXX:
Funny how an article I saw online and posted here has earned me the name ipob. Me that hate anything that has to do with biafra. What is the colour of your hate? Helinues your attention is needed.

Fake article peddler


Come out open and castigate the Yorubas without resorting to pseudonyms


Are you scared of being shredded alive with the raw unbridled truth
?

FYI , I only read the opening sentence and knew it was an Ibo impostor claiming Izon.

WhizdomXX:
I always insist that the greatest merit for Igbos in recent times is *not simply the advent of the internet on the surface!* _It is the social media aspect of the internet_ which now allows independent thinkers to *challenge the lies of history.* In Nigeria, our little corner of the world, *through social media presentations,* scholars are now debunking the false stories perpetuated by the Yoruba press *(with the help of the north who has always been paranoid about Igbos).* The Yorubas took advantage of their civil war take-over of the press *to rewrite the history of Nigeria as it favors them...,* and if you believe them, *"every post independence success in Nigeria was Awolowo influenced"* and every problem in Nigeria was *"instigated by Azikiwe, Ojukwu and the Igbos!"*"The truth is reluctantly coming out"* and _Igbos are gradually being vindicated!!!_ Read this masterpiece below by *Professor Tekena Tamuno, a great historian and former Vice - Chancellor University of Ibadan.* By the way, he's not an Igbo man!👇🏽
===============

*"IGBO ARE THE MAKERS OF MODERN NIGERIA" -- PROF TEKENA TAMUNO*

The problem with writing skewered history is that it equally misinforms its target: Kayode Esho was a great jurist, but Akunne Oputa was the "Socrates" of the Supreme court. Enahoro was a young editor, but Azikiwe made him that young editor with Osita Agwuna as his assistant, at his paper, the Southern Nigerian Defender in Ibadan, where my own father incidentally started as a rookie before shortly abandoning journalism for the stable berth of the civil service. The myth of Awolowo as building the first this and that does not match the documented economic history of the period.

Between 1954 and 1964, Eastern Nigeria was described as "the fastest growing economy in the world," by the Harvard Review; faster than China, faster than Singapore, and all the so-called "Asian Tigers." Awolowo is often credited with "free education".

But no one yet has pointed out any surviving school buildings of the period built by Awo. But all over the East there were quality schools built by the various communities using the Town Development Unions from 1954, and acessing the matching grants of the Eastern Nigeria Development Corporation. And this was the East with the poorest revenue resources of any of the regions. The Mbaise secondary school exists, the National High School Okigwe exists, the Ngwa High school exists, the Enyiogugu Grammar School exists, etc. These were solid schools built all over the East with matching goverment grants. But where are the buildings of the Modern schools in Western Nigeria? They do not exist. They were makeshift.

The Catholic church forced the Azikiwe government from its scholarship program, but it is also on record, that the Eastern government was the only government in the world that invested 45% of its revenues in education. The East had the highest number of schools; the highest school enrollment; the broadest penetration of medical services; and the best modern road network in west Africa.

Indeed if we look carefully, the only public hospitals and most of the schools still standing in the East today, at various stages of run down are the schools and hospitals built by Azikiwe/Okpara. Every division of the East had a Joint Hospital as part of the Eastern Medical services. So it is often claimed Awo built the first television station; the first sky scraper, and the first Sports stadium, the liberty stadium in Ibadan. Well, these are prestige or white elephant investments.

First, the Eastern Outlook, the government paper of Eastern Nigeria was the first newspaper established by any government in Nigeria, and it was of such quality and impact that the literacy level of Easterners, and the depth of public information retailed by Outlook was without compare. This is besides the fact that Western Nigerian Broadcast Services, WNBS-TV founded in 1958 only preceded the ENBC-TV founded in 1959, by only seven months. But Outlook preceded Sketch by about 15 years.

Now Azikiwe built the Onitsha Modern market, the first modern mall or trade emporium in West Africa. Onitsha was effectively Dubai before Dubai. People traveled all over Africa, from as far as the Congo and Sudan and Egypt, to come and buy and trade in Onitsha. The economic impact of this was humonguos. So, give me the vast Onitsha modern market over Cocoa House in Ibadan. *Azikiwe built the first Nigerian University at Nsukka* with the first School of Law, the first School of Engineering, the first Business School; the first school of journalism, and the first school of music and performance, etc. By the time its first graduates took the Nigerian civil service exams in 1963, everybody began to raise the cry of "Igbo domination" starting with Akintola and Ayo Rosiji. Give me UNN over Liberty stadium.

Azikiwe began the first modern library system in West Africa. The East had a system of city libraries starting with the very modern Ziks Library in Enugu. I Literally grew up in the Umuahia Divisional Library. These libraries were built all over the East. Schools in the East were built with libraries. Moreover the Eastern Nigerian Library Board had a sysem of rural amd mobile libraries. There was nothing like it anywhere else in Nigeria: kids having library cards and able to borrow or order books from the public library. Give me the the first library over the first TV. I do not by this mean that Awolowo did not make his contributions, but the regular skewering of the facts, and angling of contemporary national narratives often makes it seem these days like the greatest contributor to the founding of Nigeria and its development is Awolowo and the Yoruba, when the actual facts speak differently.

The great Ibadan historian, Tekena Tamuno, was unambiguous in stating once at NIPPS, Jos, that " *the Igbos are the makers of moderm Nigeria. When they abandoned their project, Nigeria collapsed."* We must remind Nigerians, particularly Igbo children, daily of these fact, to achieve what Achebe called " a balance of stories." And that also means we must read beyond the surface of things. Babarinsa's Guardian essay is angled carefully to maintain a revisionist narrative. And that is to be always challenged, however innocent it might seem.

Even today, most Yoruba think that Awolowo founded the Universities of Ibadan and Lagos. No one has reminded them that it took Azikiwe's pressures for a university for Nigeria, in his meeting with Arthur Richards in 1946, that led to the constitution of the Eliot commision and subsequently the founding of the University College, Ibadan. This fact is even clearly conveyed in Michael Crowder's eponymous book, The Story of Nigeria. Nsukka was Azikiwe's critique of what he felt to be the conceptual limitations of Ibadan. The University of Lagos was the result of NCNC's ideological contributions to the federal policy during the ill fated coalition government with the NPC. UNILAG was an NCNC project, shepherded by Aja Wachukwu as minister for education. Even the great UNILAG in her 50th anniversary failed to mention Prof Eni Njoku as the pioneer Vice Chancellor of the university, a man that layed the solid foundation of what made Unilag what it is today.

These facts must be made known and put as forcefully accross as possible. Again, until the lion tells his own story, the story of the hunt will belong to the hunter.

Lolz

This is the second anti Yoruba and pro ibo thread I have seen today and all of them were claimed to have been authored by non Ibos.

The first one was supposedly by a Yoruba man and now the second is by an Izon man.

You Ndi IPOB and your fake products have now decided to spew your hate and lame propaganda hiding under another nationality and tribe.

Bloody cowards and liars.

Fake things and Una nah like 6 and 7.

jaxxy:
So what did abure manage during the elections?

I'm not saying apc or pdp are better obviously they do worse than abure.

Abure has told the world point blank that any accusation of financial impropriety within the LP as alleged by Obi's illegal NEC meeting in Umuahi that passed a resolution against Abure for financial misappropriation should be channeled to the Obi Datti campaign as he had no hand in managing their funds.


Ask Aisha and Obi to release the final audit report of campaign funds that Obi said will be released in December of last year.

They are a laughing stock .

Ignore them as long as they keep their madness to SM and their five plot region.

Story.

These ones dey knack since and after the third abortion babe say she no go remove am.

Omo the cries are all over you, I thought you guys will continue the protest? Are you tired Mr. Terrorist sympathizer

Come to think of it, Obi will ignore this appointment unless it is his fellow Ibo that was nominated.

That man nah real tribal bigot.

BeardedmeatR:
It's actually an old thread. No doubt the writer is somewhere wailing profusely now.

Who wail pass you Disobedient Ndi IPOB

Seek help asap before you run enter street.

Lolz

Abure hold them for blockus.

Why did Obi nominate Aisha to audit the campaign funds and not Abure ?

Why is Aisha yet to release the full audit of campaign funds ?

Obi and his greed and stinginess saw him thief his own campaign funds.

Over 60,000 polling units in the north did not have LP agents around to monitor the elections all because Obi refused to distribute funds to them.

Obi will rather prefer to raid church assemblies and abuse the pulpit to campaign and if he wasn't doing this they resorted to obito mode and were renting canopies in primary school fields.

But for some reason this same Obi had the audacity to even challenge the election outcome up to the supreme court


Let me not even begin to mention how Obi mismanaged GEJ SE PDP campaign funds that saw to party stalwarts not doing anything to secure Jonathan the needed votes to counter APC's K state votes.

Obi does not know that a curse is following him and until he goes to ojukwu's grave side and seek forgiveness for betraying the oath he entered not to leave APGA , disgrace and failure will follow him throughout his political career.

RealityBender:
Na wa… Sheybi dingBAT is now president. Still you’re obsessed with anything Obi and ObiDients!!
I’m sure when you went out to buy fuel today you were asked to show your heavily dented forehead for free fuel.

Seek help now before you run enter street.

helinues:
What happened to the money allocated for the missing 60k polling agents unit?

Your guess is good as mine..

It was diverted to one brewry to brew more bear for Ndi IPOB

Beautiful thread.

vastolord4:
The truth is that some people in LP feel left out.. they need to come together possibly with northerners. They need the merger

Merge with Ndi Hausa ?

Chai !
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Nah now Una know say politics is all about bridge building.

As things stand , only full frontal lobotomy can cure the Obidient malady .

You are in desperate need of occupational therapy.

Anything wey enter your head talk, turkey don fight Israel? If you think fight is by population ask the Arabs again and see what they tell you.

Irrespective of turkey been a strong military country don't understand rate Israel , they have everything turkey has plus even more(nuclear weapons) and state of arts stealth weapons.

Ordinary Hamas they can't root out for close to a year now and you are here spewing trash.

The invicibility of the IDF has been exposed as nothing less than a genocidal racist militia.

This is what is worrying retired IDF officers and Generals that the failure to root out Hamas for close to a year now has destroyed every fiction of IDF superiority.

IDF is composed of diaper wearing, women and children killing Sodomites.


The only thing floating that abomination of desolation is the US and their since compromised useless boomer politicians or else , Pissrael won't survive one hour without US backing in the region .

Macphenson:
Peter Obi is the sole donor of his campaign, and as such can appoint anybody he deem fit to be incharge of his funds.
Labour party NEVER did a fund raising for Peter Obi neither did the party give him any funds for his campaign, rather he was spending his own money.

If you have evidence to prove otherwise kindly tender it or forever keep ur mouth shut on this subject matter

See him mouth.

Sole donor that skipped stadia for the pulpit to canvass for votes

Sole donor that could only rent ten canopies in primary school fields.

What of Wike that donated all PDP presidential asset procured by Rivers PDP to Obi and even paid for the use of PH township stadium ?

Obi nah crook.

Outside Rivers that Wike paid for their campaign train and the SE that saw to individuals renting stadia for LP, which other state outside Lagos and Abuja did Obi have a presentable campaign rally?

The one in Nassarawa and Kogi he even cancelled at the last minute after sighting the scanty crowd. It is from there Obi began using primary school fields and renting canopies as if he dey do obito.

Abeg make we hear word.

Obi is too stingy to himself and such a pathological thief that he couldn't help himself to his own campaign funds.

Mossad is nothing short of a Jewish criminal mafia syndicate.

Their religion only serves as their mafia codex .

Any fool supporting Pissrael needs their heads examined.

Notasyouthink:
From the look of things, you have comprehension problems.
And for this reason, am done with.

Show this to them on telegram channel.

Lol

This one don give up.

Biafra was never and has never been an independence movement.

Old Biafra and Nu Biafra are a tribal attempt to colonise the SS for its land and resources.

The LP had no Poll agents in over 60,000 polling units across the north all because the campaign fund manager refused to mobilise their own poll monitors.

But Obi had the audacity to say in court he won the elections despite having no party official on over 60,000 polling units in the north.

Is this not madness ?

He's right.

This dude as Zamfara governor pampered these bandits and donated Hilux to them, revoked farm lands granted by his predecessor and converted it to Riga. He also disbanded the Hausa vigilante corps that were tackling the bandits and proscribed the group as a terrorist organisation.

gidgiddy:
As expected, those who want Kanu to remain in detention are none Igbos

What do you expect after insulting the entire Nigeria as a country and the different nationalities in it?


Tinubu does not interfere with court cases.

Best Kanu can do is stop stalling his trial and see to an end of it asap. If he's acquitted, fine . If he is convicted , you all should go and prostrate to Tinubu to grant him Presidential pardon.

Do this quickly or else the mood in the north is to seize power from Tinubu in 2027. If that happens , Kanu should forget any talk of pardon.

aswani:
I can believe this story but we need proof please.

Why did GEJ congratulate Tinubu after he won the elections.


Did you see GEJ even endorse Obi or even Atiku?


GEJ dey laff where him dey.

aswani:
That's not the point, mismanagement of campaign funds is an offence that could land people in jail.

I did wonder why Peter Obi wouldn't release his campaign expenses, months after he said he had nominated Aisha to be the person in charge of the auditing.

Certain people wanted Abure to be the fall guy, not surprising he is dragging others down with him, the surprise is the facade lasted this long.

Hopefully the treasurer they sacked for the crime of auditing the party accounts would be recalled and allowed to do her job in peace.

I have even forgotten that Aisha that Obi nominated to audit the campaign funds is still yet to make it public.

The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit should do a thorough audit of Elu Pee funds and where any mago mago is found charged those involved to court for embezzlement.

I believe Nigeria's corporate laws mandate without fail , each year an annual audit report .

This is the rascality of Obi and his hungry disobedient thugs.

aswani:
I can believe this story but we need proof please.

Go and ask why SE PDP collapsed after GEJ congratulated Buhari.

SE PDP stalwarts were not happy with GEJ nominating Obi as his SE campaign director . This was because Obi was just a recent member of the PDP who decamped from APGA.

SE PDP also petitioned GEJ over Obi's refusal to release funds to start mobilization.

Obi stuck to his guns and said he will release it in due time. His due time was just a few days to the polls and what he distributed was not in any way what PDP is known for.

Obi has many curses following him and he doesn't know .

To me he has been the most dangerous individual to PDP.

So they can beg?

Kudos to SA for doing the right thing.

SA condemned the Iraq invasion. The war in Syria and Iraq instigated by NATO , Israel and the gulf states.

They also condemned the toppling of Qaddafi while one idiot David Mark as SP was endorsing the removal of Qaddafi .

Kudos to them.

With everything I am sure they won't be supporting Biafra expansionism into the SS .

Ance4Liverpool:
Abure can destroy labour party but he cant destroy obi
Abure has collected bribe from apc to help in tarnishing obis image but he is used to it.

Everything nah bribe to Una

Has it come to your empty skull that Abure is fighting for his own political relevance in LP after Obi and Otti attempted an illegal NEC to dissolve the party heriachy?

Abure is fighting back and he is doing it dirty because it was your illegal NEC chaired by Obi and Otti that accused Abure first of financial impropriety.


Abure go open Obi yansh for all to see.

mycar:
Educated illiterate disgracing himself up and down. watch what you reacted to with your shameful lies.

Obi has been stealing campaign funds trusted to him since GEJ foolishly made him head of his SE campaign .


That oath he took with Ojukwu is coming to haunt him.

Every political party he joins ends up in dissaray


Obi should go back to his APGA and plead with the departed spirit of Ojukwu to forgive him for breaking his vow never to abandon APGA.

Geometrix:
You are not really wise... Why can't they detain him on arrival after his engagement without muddling the narratives with the international community? Or is he running away?

Because the state has the powers to arrest , detain and interrogate any one engaged in treasonable felony and terrorism.


He should have cleared his name if innocent instead of trying to sneak out of the country to avoid the invitation.

This is bad optics and when the DSS takes him to court seeking a remand order to conclude their investigation , no judge will object this after he refused to honour their invitation and was caught sneaking out of the country to the same destination nation the prime suspect a Briton is from.


By the way NLC President does not enjoy immunity .

Because he goes about the title doesn't confer on him similar immunity as the executive.
