He was one of the very few Deputy Governors in Nigeria who managed to succeed his boss

Is this relevant ?

Its relevant if you think equity and fairness is relevant

The South West have had their 8 years with Obasanjo

The South South has had one term with Jonathan

The South East has had zero

Now some greedy people from the South West want the Presidency again? We have 6 peices of meat in a plate of food three people are eating, the person who has already had 2 pieces of meat, is stretching his hands for a third piece? How is that one going to work?

If the Presidency is coming down to the South, it should be for the South South to complete their 8 years, or for the South East to take their first piece of meat

The South West have no business with the Presidency of 2023, and it is the duty of the SS and SE not to vote anyone aspiring from the South West until everyone in the South become equal

Some members of IPOB in India decided to celebrate the New year by donating some food stuffs to an orphanage in India

Dont mess with Onitsha

ariesbull:
Lagos was the capital of Nigeria and capital.. Onitsha was never a capital of state... Yet they built this great economy

They can't have such city in SW even in the next 200yrs

Outside Lagos, the south west does not have a city that compares to Onitsha. I laughed at the pictures they put up. Look at Akure

Cosbyrich:


lol...Onitsha which is only 52 sq km?
No university,no university teaching hospitals,one mall ,one GRA etc..
Only Ibadan city which is 3080 sq km has more than 10 GRAs and more infrastructures than the entire Igboland.Ibadan has skyscrapers but the entire SE has not been able to build one
SW is the most developed part of Nigeria.
I am a real estate person.80% percent of the properties in Lagos are owned by Yorubas especially Kwarans and Ijebus.

I wonder why people think that size of land is achievement? Its not size of land but what you have done with whatever land you have

More

Apart from Lagos, which became what it is by virtue of being capital of Nigeria for many decades, what city in the South West can boast of being as developed as Onitsha?

I challenge anyone from the South West to show me any city in the South West(apart from Lagos) that can compare with the city of Onitsha

In recognition of his slave masters that sent him, via the supreme court, to destroy Imo state, Governor Hopeless Uzodinjo unveils new portrait

Famous missionary, Bishop Ajayi Crowther, visited Igbo land in 1857. He came with other missionaries to help spread Christianity. He visited places like Onitsha, Aboh, Asaba etc. He wrote extensively about his visit . Some of the things said are enumerated below, however, note that in 1857, there was nothing called "Nigeria", not even the creator of Nigeria, Lord Lugard, had been born.

Ajayi Crowther: I may mention Abám to the north of Ogobéndo , Isiápo a small district between Ndoki and Bonny and which may be reached by canoe , Oráta to the eastward of O’zuzu , and finally Omiúnsi , a town in Elugu , the inhabitants of which are said to be Igbos. The religion of I’gbo is entirely Pagan , mixed up with numerous rites and ceremonies , neither in general so frightful nor so bloody as those practised in Bíni , in Dahómi , and other more western countries , but still all of a pre – eminently superstitious character .

“The I’gbos all believe in an Almighty – being , omnipresent and omnipotent , whom they call Tshúku , whom they constantly worship , and whom they believe to communicate directly with them through his sacred shrine at A’ro . “The town is always mentioned with great respect , almost , at times , with a degree of veneration , and the people say “ Tshúku abyama , “ God lives there". But they speak also of another and a dis tinct Deity , who at Abó is known as Orissa , but throughout other parts of I’gbo , as “ Tshúku – Okéke , ” “ God the creator , or the supreme God . ” Abó people    believe that after death , those who have been good on earth may either go to Oríssa and abide with him , or they may , if they like , visit any country on earth ; and so slaves often , when dying , say that they will go and revisit their native land ; if , on the other hand a wicked man dies , it is understood that he is driven to Qkómo , or hell ; derived from oko , fire , and mo spirit . In Abó every man and every woman of any consequence keeps as djú – dju or sacred , the lower jaw of a pig , or , until they can procure this , a piece of wood fashioned like one . This is preserved in their huts , and produced only when worshipped , or when sacrifices are made to it , which are at certain times , at intervals of from ten days to three weeks . The particular days are determined by the djú – dju men or priests , and by them intimated to the people . They sprinkle this djú – dju with palm – wine , and touching it with a kola – nut , speak to it , and ask it to be good and propitious towards them . It is named A’gba , meaning pig , or A ‘ gba – E’zhi , or pig’s – jaw ; but when kept as djú – dju , it is also termed Ofúm , or “ my image , ” and also Tshúku . People also select particular trees near their huts , or , if there are none in the neighbourhood , they transplant one ; these they worship and call Tshúkum , or “ my God . ” They hang on these bits of white baff ( calico , ) as signs of a djú dju tree , and as offerings to the deity . No one ever touches these , and if they rot off they are replaced . Little wooden images are also used , and are styled O’fo – Tshúku , or “ images of God , ” and to these they talk and pray . When a man is suspected of false hood , one of these is placed in his right hand , and he is made to swear by it , and if he does so falsely it is believed that some evil will speedily befal him . Sacrifices , principally of fowls , are made to these latter , as to the former . In Isuáma and in Eʻlugu there are similar usages , but the pig’s – jaw is not employed , and no white baff is hung on the trees . At Abó one large tree is held as djú – dju for the whole district , it is covered with offerings , and there is an annual festival in honour of it , when sacrifices of fowls , sheep , goats , and bullocks are made . When a man goes to A’ro to consult Tshúku , he is received by some of the priests outside of the town , near a small stream . Here he makes an offering , after which a fowl is killed , and , if it appears unpropitious , a quantity of a red dye , probably camwood , is spilt into the water , which the priests tell the people is blood , and on this the votary is hurried off by the priests and is seen no more , it being given out that Tshúku has been displeased , and has taken him . The result of this preliminary ceremony is determined in general by the amount of the present given to the priests , and those who are reported to have been carried off by Tshúku are usually sold as slaves

In 1954, five young Nigerian men were selected to attend the prestigious Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, England. Four of the men were Igbos, while one was from the Angas tribe of Northern Nigeria. Their names and Army number are Michael Okwechime(N22), Patrick Anwunah(N19),  Arthur Unegbe(N23),  Alexander Madiebo(N21) and Yakubu Gowon(N20)

All five men passed out of the Academy in December 1956 and and returned to Nigeria where they became officers of the Nigerian Army. Ten years later in 1966 all five men had become Lt Colonel's when the first coup happened. Unegbe was killed. The second coup of that year, targeted at Igbos, saw Madiebo, Anwunah and Okwechime escaping to the East. By the time the Nigerian civil war broke out, Gowon had become Military head of state, Madiebo had become commander of the  entire Biafran Army, Okwechime had become commander of the Biafran 11th Division, Anwunah had become Adjutant General of the Biafran Army and Principal Staff Officer (PSO) to Biafran leader, General Ojukwu.

General Alexander Madiebo commanded the Biafran Army from the start of the war until the end. He flew into exile with Ojukwu.

With Ojukwu, Anwunah and Okwechime now all late, the last two Major actors of the civil war on either side  is Major General Alexander Madiebo, Officer Commanding The Biafran Army, Republic Of Biafra.

And Major General Yakubu Gowon, Head Of State And Commander Of The Armed forces, Federal Republic Of Nigeria

Madiebo returned to Nigeria in 1980 and wrote one of the greatest book about the Nigerian civil war "The Nigerian Revolution And The Biafran Civil War". He now lives in his hometown, Awka.

Gowon went on to become Nigeria's longest serving head of state, he was in power for 9 years. He was overthrown in 1976 and lived in exile in London for many years before returning to Nigeria

Both men are almost 90. It would be good if both men had a debate about the civil war

Im always amazed by people like Joe Igbokwe who claims to love "one Nigeria" so much but he only is ever concerned about the insecurity in his zone

Never will you hear Joe talk about the wholesale slaughter going in middle belt by killer herdsmen, or that ISWAP murdered 120 people in a Market in Sokoto, or that Boko haram beheaded 44 farmers in Borno

But if unidentified people kill one person in the South east, Joe Igbokwe and others like him will come out to wail, then tell everyone we are 'one Nigeria'

What a hypocrite

As bad as Lekki tollgate massacre was, Obigbo massacre was much worse. Obigbo, also officially known as 'Oyigbo', is a town in Portharcourt, Rivers state

During the ENDSARS protest in October last year, some ENDSARS were protesting in Obigbo when they came across a combined team of Police and Army. What happend next is not entirely known, but what is known is that the security forces opened fire on unarmed ENDSARS protesters, which in turn caused the protesters to turn violent

Some of the security forces were allegedly killed, the local Police station and some government buildings were burnt. But worse was yet to come

All over Southern Nigeria, there were violent running battles between ENDSARS protesters and the security forces, but while other Governors were running around trying to de-escalate the carnage, Governor Wike of Rivers state was the only one who chose to make things worse in his state

The very next morning after the Obigbo incident, with no investigation whatsoever conducted, Wike went on Tv to blame seperatist group, IPOB, for the violence, and invited the security forces into Obigbo. Wike went around shouting that IPOB was taking over his state and the Nigerian should come and save his people

The Nigerian Army heard him and moved into Obigbo. What happend next was days of extra- judicial killings and indiscriminate arrests of unarmed defenceless Obigbo residents by the Nigerian Army

Those who were arrested and lucky to be alive, were airlifted to different military bases in Northern Nigeria where the males were tortured and the females raped for months

Those who were unlawfully killed were thrown into the local River. It is said that for days, corpses were seen floating all over the River

To hide the atrocity that happened, a military cordon was thrown around Obigbo and the Governor declared a curfew

Obigbo massacre must be joined to Lekki tollgate report, and all those involved, including Wike, must eventually be made to face justice

The disgrace of a Police Officer known as Abba Kyari, came to Imo state with his rebranded 'SARS', now called IRT(Response Intelligence Team) and unleashed an orgy of violence, intimidation and death on Imolites.

Under the guise of looking for IPOB/ESN members, Abba Kyari Indiscrimately arrested several civilians, locked them up in his notorious 'Tiger base' Owerri, before they were shipped off to different prisons in the North. Many had to pay up to one million Naira to get out of what they knew nothing about. Many who could not afford this money are still languishing in different prisons up in the North.

Abba Kyari and IRT were engaged in arson, kidnapping, illegal detention, extortion and extra-judicial killings. All they had to do was label anyone 'IPOB' or 'ESN' for the person to end up dead, detained or simply disappear. I hope someday, Abba Kyari is brought to book for all his crimes in Imo state. God has already started punishing him for his sins

Why Obi Cubana called this terrorist of a Policeman his friend, and even hosted him in hometown, Oba, as he was killing innocent Igbo youths in Imo, I will never know

My advice to Obi Obi Cubana is to apologise to the Igbo nation for ever having anything to do with a blood sucking murderer like Abba Kyari. He probably didnt Abba Kyari well enough, and people will understand

Traditional rulers, IPOB supporters and Journalists have started arriving the court premises for IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu's trial today

Nothing like Southern Nigeria, make everyone answer him papa name

Billionaire businessman and Senator representing Anambra South, Ifeanyi Ubah, was left embarrassed at Nnamdi Kanu's trial today. The Senator had gone to attend Nnamdi Kanu's trial but was refused entry into the court room. As if that was not enough, the Senator came out of the court premises to address a large crowd of Kanu's supporters, only to be embarrassed once again

As Ifeanyi Ubah opened his mouth to talk, Kanu's supporters started singing "onye tuo vote o na ugwu-awusa!" (anyone who votes will relocate to the North!). The song drowned out any effort by the Senator to talk leaving him thoroughly embarrassed. He then left for good.

Some people see Ifeanyi Ubah's new found interest in Nnamdi Kanu as an election ploy to secure votes in next month's Governorship elections in Anambra

A close associate of the Kanu family, Somto Okonkwo, has revealed the progress of Kanu court suit against the Kenyan government

IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, filed a suit in the high court sitting in Nairobi, Kenya, last month, against the government of Kenya, alleging gross violation of his human rights.

According to Nnamdi Kanu, he was legally in Kenya as a British citizen when he was abducted by the Kenyan authorities, illegally detained and extraordinary renditioned to Nigeria without any extradition hearing or international arrest warrant.

According to Kanu's Lawyers, this is a gross violation of Kenyas Immigration laws as well as extradition treaties signed by Kenya

The court sat and heard the petition and has given the Kenyan government 3 weeks to file a response. The court will reconvene on 3rd November 2021 for continuation of the matter

Somto Okonkwo is a close associate of the Kanu family. He was one of the lucky few who escaped death by the whiskers when the federal government of Nigeria sent Soldiers to invade Kanu's house in September 2017. Twenty eight people are alleged to have been killed during military attack on Kanu's home.

On his latest interview on Channels Tv, Senator Abaribe was asked by Seun Okinbaloye if he regretted standing surety for Nnamdi Kanu. Abaribe said that he has no regrets standing surety for Nnamdi Kanu and is prepared to do it again
