..'at a time when saying the truth is a heroic act',may the soul of prof. Yusuf rest in perfect peace,as he experiences the joy of elysium and pls tell our founding fathers that the country they left for us is now in ruins.That politicians with glutonic greed now revels with impunity in the worst forms of corruption and misrule. Tell them that naira is now so worthless that we need a bag of it,to pay school fees and eat a decent meal.That the 'labour of our heroes past',seems to now be in vain.Tell them we can no longer travel within Nigeria without first saying our last prayers because of insecurity.Tell them that our heart bleeds！！！

"But they said they are the whiz kids from lagos

That the magic of lagos was going to be reignited at the federal level

Eight months after,it is ebin kpawa

What really happened

Where are the heroes of lagos

What is on the ground shows that the policy makers from eko do not understand governance

The policy flip flop has created a condition of acute poverty

Just like one commentator said,only those in the corridors of power are smiling

The rest are facing armageddon,a state of calamity and brutality

The politics of the land is toxic as only lagosians are in power, while the other "O" states are lamenting

Cronyism and inner caucus have betrayed the movement

Emilokan movement is so ordinary and bereft of ideas that grand old Buhari that spent eight years junketing is even perceived to be better.

So,Emilokan is about the fulfilment of personal ambition

Even the Imams that were shouting Muslim/Muslim tickets are busy gnashing their teeth

They have now become wiser

That the Muslim/Muslim agenda is a hoax

Now they can't go for pilgrimage because they don't have N5M

Where will they see the dollar

Who dash monkey banana

No politician is even visiting their mosque anymore

Even Mr. Vice President has become a motivational speaker

He is busy admonishing Nigerians to be of good behaviour since leaders who are to turn things around have lost ideas

The ideas that were robustly generated during electioneering campaigns have vaporised into thin air

Now,the singsong by the talakawas is hunger

Our currency is as worthless as a river that ships cannot navigate

You need a bagco cement sack of naira to seek $300

The economic gurus of lagos have been turned into ordinary finance speculators

All those spotless suits and Oxford shoes are just abracadabra

What happened to years of study at Harvard and Yale School of Economics

Social media have been laughing at them

Even Zimbabweans and South Africans are having a good laugh

South Sudan,a country as poor as anything, is poking Nigeria

Pls where is the Save Nigeria Group

Where are Professor Wole Soyinka and Pastor Tunde Bakare that gave Jonathan nightmares

Where are all the lagos musicians

Where are the Kuti brothers

Have they forgotten their fathers lyrics

44 sitting and 99 standing

This is when the talakawa need them most

Have they forgotten their Uncle Dr Beko Ransome Kuti

Where are the offspring of Late Dr Bala Usman in this respect

And where are the Professor Pantamis of this world

That cried and prayed that the Jonathan administration should be changed

And what has changed today

And why are there no prayers to the Almighty that the poor should be rescued

The Lagos politicians have failed the people

They boasted that it is about brains and not brawl

This is the regime of the most educated people in Africa

What a paradox"

Prof. Yusuf Dankofa died today 6th February, a day after writing this treatise on Tinubu.
May his soul rest in peace 🙏

HugeElephant:
Why was Bianca Ojukwu told to go back to her state to contest? . Bianca Ojukwu wanted to contest for Senator in Anambra but was strongly resisted because she's originally from Enugu.

Liar,we know your ilk and the slippery and treacherous tribe you are representing...the same Bianca that had problem with Mrs Obiano former Anambra state governors wife and the entire Anambra stood behind Bianca and it caused Mrs Obiano to lose her election to become a senator. Save that your negative Propaganda,Mrs Bianca Ojukwu is most loved and honoured in Anambra,infact she is a force to reckon with in Anambra. Our beautiful Ada di oranma.

Anambra is in God's hand！

I call on Ndigbo worldwide,Ohaneze Ndigbo,Igbo proffessionals,civil right organizations,the human right commission,transperancy international,civil liberties organization and all people of good conscience....We must all join hand to seek Justice for APO six,so that they will rest in peace.

It is 18 years plus since five Igbo traders along with their female friend were brutally murdered in cold blood by men of the Nigerian Police Force led by then DCP Danjuma Ibrahim at a police checkpoint in Gimbiya street, area 11, Gariki, Abuja because the female victim turned down the sexual overtures of the senior police officer, Danjuma at an evening gathering in the city.

The 5 Igbo traders names were:

(1) Ifeanyi Ozor
(2) Chinedu Meniru
(3) Anthony Nwokike
(4) Paulinus Ogbonna
(5) Ekene Isaac Mgbe, and
(6) Augustina Arebu the only female victim and fiance to Ifeanyi Ozor.

All six were traders at the Apo auto spare parts market, Abuja.

They were shot dead because DCP Danjuma made romantic advances to the only lady among them, Augustina Arebu, at an evening gathering, which she turned down. A minor disagreement ensued between the guys and the officer immediately stormed out of the gathering to the nearby police checkpoint at Gimbiya street where he told the police men on duty that he had sighted a gang of armed robbers.

When the Apo Six drove to the checkpoint, officer Danjuma reportedly blocked them with his vehicle and ordered the junior police men on duty to open fire on them. Obey the last order, Danjuma shouted, shoot them! shoot them!!, they refused my advances. The junior police men obeyed the last order and rained bullets on the innocent traders.

Four of the Apo Six were killed on the spot. The remaining two, the lady, Tina and one of the five young men, were killed the following day. The lady, Augustina Arebu, whose rejection of Danjuma's sexual invite caused the whole murder was personally strangled to death by the very DCP Danjuma.

This is according to the findings of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by the then President Olusegun Obasanjo which was headed by Justice O.O Goodluck.

Immediately after the killings, the Nigerian police went to work in a desperate bid to cover up this callous, despicable and inhumane crime.

First, officer Danjuma Ibrahim got arms from the Gariki police station and planted inside the Peugeot 406 car of the victims and got their official photographer to take the picture with a view to creating a false narrative that the innocent traders were armed robbers killed by the Police in a gun battle.

However, both the Administrative panel of Inquiry set up by the Police and the Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by the Federal govt of Chief Obasanjo all established that DCP Danjuma led other officers and men in killing the six victims including strangling the only female amongst them and burying their bodies in shallow graves in what the Commission described as "a continuous single exercise of elimination to conceal facts"

The commission established the following facts: (Read carefully)

1. The Peugeot 406 being driven by one of the deceased persons had six occupants including the driver; five males and one female.

2. The police atrociously buried the corpses of the six deceased persons in two shallow graves at Utako District of Abuja Fct under the supervision of DPO of Garki police, CSP Othman Abdusalam, who is still at large.

3. At the first point of contact between the police and the deceased persons at Gimbiya Street, Abuja, Area 11 Garki Abuja, not all the deceased persons were killed there.

4. No shooting came from the Peugeot 406 car being driven by one of the deceased. (The Peugeot 406 car was originally owned by a certain Adamawa politician who brought the car for spare parts repair to be picked by next morning).

5. The only female occupant of the 406 car, Tina Arebu was strangled to death by DCP Danjuma Ibrahim and PC Dennis Asawa.

6. The two locally made pistols, two live cartridges, two expended cartridges, cutlass and daggers allegedly found in the Peugeot 406 car were planted by the runaway DPO Garki police station, CSP Othman Abdusalam.

Thread continues below.

The then and now pictures of DSP Danjuma, the masterminder of APO Six killings.
7. From the ballistician's report, the two expended cartridges were never fired from any locally made pistols allegedly planted by the DPO Garki police station CSP Othman Abdusalam in the Peugeot 406 car.

8. The two locally made pistols allegedly found in the Peugeot 406 car being driven by one of the deceased persons had not been fired in six months prior to the ballistician examination.

9. That the two locally made pistols allegedly found in the Peugeot 406 car were in fact recovered from a hotel in Abuja called Rita Lori hotel, more than two weeks before the incident of the Apo six killing of June 8, 2005.

10. That the two locally made pistols on request by DPO Garki police station CSP Othman Abdusalam were brought from the armoury of the Garki police station by the armourer by name inspector Ishaya Nyaiwak and given to him who in turn planted them inside the Peugeot 406 car being driven by one of the six deceased persons.

11. That the deceased persons were NOT armed robbers since no gun(s) were found on them nor did they shoot at the police at the check point in Gimbiya street Area 11 Garki Abuja.

12. The only escapee from the gruesome killings by the police both at the Gimbiya street Area 11 Garki and beside Prince and Princess Estate Gaduwa Abuja was arrested and killed by 7:30am on the 8th of June, 2005 by the Nigeria Police Force.

13. That the autopsy report showed conclusively that the deceased were killed by high velocity missiles consistent with bullet shots.

14. That inspector Suleiman Audu, the head of the police patrol team at Gimbiya street Area 11 Garki refused to shoot at the Peugeot 406 car.

15. That the policeman (late PC Anthony Edem) who mysteriously died a day before he was to testify before the Police Administrative Board of inquiry was poisoned according to the autopsy report.

On the basis of the incontrovertible evidence adduced before the Judicial Commission of inquiry, the commission held that they were not left in doubt about the complicity of the following persons in the unlawfully killings of the Six deceased, namely;

1. DCP Danjuma Ibrahim - The plotter
2. DPO Othman Abdusalam
3. Inspector Suleiman Audu
4. Ezekiel Acheneje
5. PC Sadiq Salami
6. PC Dennis Asawa
7. Emmanuel Baba, and
8. ASP Nicholas Zachariah.

The commission went on to recommend that they should all be tried in accordance with the appropriate law. The federal government accepted this recommendations and issued a White Paper.

The police force was instructed to take the necessary disciplinary action against the 8 persons including DCP Danjuma and the DPO of APO police station who supplied the weapon planted in the car of the traders, Othman Abdulsalami, and ensure they were all charged for murder.

President Obasanjo tendered apology to the families of the victims and even paid compensation.

Quickly, the number 15 in the list of the recommendation of the Judicial Commission of inquiry which is to the effect that a police constable Anthony Edem, who was part of the killer squad and had earlier testified against the police and was scheduled to testify again the coming Monday died on a Sunday night after going out to drink with some of his fellow policemen the previous Saturday. An autopsy report from Abuja national hospital found out Edem was poisoned to death.

The Nigerian Police Force, after killing six innocent traders simply because the love overtures one of her philandering officers was turned down, went as far as poisoning one of its own just to cover up her crime.

In a cell, right inside the Police Headquarters (Louis Edet House) in Abuja where the DPO Othman Abdusalam, was kept pending his day in court, he left his cell one morning purportedly to go pray and simply disappeared. Till date, that killer officer, Othman was never made to face the law.

The last part of the thread is below.

First picture, the scene where Apo 6 were shot dead. Second picture, are the culprit officers.
Four years ago, Justice Ishaq Bello of the FCT High Court, Abuja, sentenced two junior policemen to death for the APO 6 killing after they confessed to killing the APO 6 ON THE ORDERS OF DCP DANJUMA but the same court said there was no ample evidence to convict the senior officer Danjuma who the convicted officers and even the Police panel of inquiry as well as the judicial commission of inquiry all fingered as the one who plotted, ordered and supervised the whole killings.

DCP Danjuma Ibrahim has since been officially re-instated into the Nigerian police force via a Police Wireless Message intercepted by Sahara-Reporters (as published below).

This killer officer has been paid all arrears of salaries and other entitlements dating back to 2005 and sent on a refresher course. As I Write, DANJUMA HAS BEEN PROMOTED TO AN ASSISTANT INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE (AIG). Chances are, he might become the Inspector General of Police someday.

Meanwhile, according to legal experts, the March 9 judgement by the FCT High Court on the matter can be appealed, but it is only the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), that can either appeal the ruling or issue an 'extended fiat' to another lawyer to go ahead with the appeal. Five years later, nothing has been done.

And so the endless search for justice of #Apo6 lingers on. The End.

Deborah was killed by delusional people, a move that was condemned by plenty of Muslims..
We've read news of northern Muslims being killed in other part of the country but it's senseless to completely discriminate s whole tribe.
Nothing happened to Jerry Gana.
Atlease despite being minority in Niger State, he's still recognised.
That can't be said about plateau.
I honestly don't want to engage you but trust me, me Umar an Abuja indegene won't suffer the consequences of your delusion.
Keep forming woke.

According to you or your delusion,Kaduna has since moved on,Niger,Kogi etc but we all know that they so called peace or grave yard peace in those states was only made possible because the muslim North has since dominated the indigenous people of those states. When was the last a christian ruled Kaduna,Nasarawa,Niger or Kogi. When the court seems like they were going to rule in favour of the PDP christian gubernatorial candidate in Nasarawa,the Northern muslims where already calling for Jihad. The only reason why Plateau and Benue seems to be having crisis, is that the northern muslims wants to take over authority of these states but they indigenous people stood their ground. One of the major causes of crisis in Jos North, is the quest by Hausa-Fulani to institute an emirate council and then install an emir but guest what,they indigenous people stood their ground.

Ahmadu Bello the then premeir of Northern Nigeria was recorded to have called the christian north,a willing tool in the hands of the jihadist and can only be used to achieve their conquest.
If for instance Jang the former christian gov of Plateau state decides to contest for presidency will Arewa and Northern oligarchy support him,they way they supported Buhari？ Deal with it.
Pls take your deception and selective amnesia to another forum.
God bless the good people of Nigeria.

Save us your rhetorics,dont you think you are late on arrival. Let me take you back history lane and see why the Benue Plateau man and infact the middlebelt has rejected the core north.
There was a time in the history of this country when most of our finest soldiers where from the middlebelt but the Northern oligarchy felt threatened and decided to eliminate them through trumped up charges. The North killed Lt col Bukar Dimka and went ahead to kill a whole lots of officers of middlebelt extraction,in other to dominate the space called north. Gen. I.D Bisalla,Lt col. TK Adamu,Lt col Ayuba Tense, gov of Benue-Plateau Joseph Gomwalk,maj. CD Dabang,Capt M.R Gotip,capt M parvwang,Capt Austin Dawurang,Lt E.L.K Shellens,Lt S. Kwale,Lt Peter Cigari,Lt S. Wayah and a host of others were killed in cold blood by their so called Northern brothers.
Of particular interest was the killing of Gen mamman Vasta by IBB whom happens to be his best friend and that was the stroke that broke they camels bark and the middlebelt knew they are on their own. Even When Chinua Achebe,Wole Soyinka and John Pepper Clarke pleaded with IBB to grant clemency to Mamman Vasta,few minutes later,in the most gruesome manner he executed his so called Northern brother.
Like the whites usually say 'so many water has passed under the bridge'. Joseph Takar,Paul Gindiri,Maigari of the blessed memory and a host of middlebelterns has long craved and fought for a different identity from the north.
These are historical facts and stop this your revisionist and pathetic story of accusing a particular tribe that they are trying to divide you both.

If any crisis erupts in the very volatile Jos North,we will hold INEC and APC responsible！

tsephanyah:
Please, what did Murtala Muhammed do for Nigeria to deserve his picture being put on our money?

I have been struggling with this question since secondary school after I read about how he led a successful coup in 1966, a coup which can be credited as the main cause of the Biafran War.

He also killed and retired many traitors in the Nigerian army

Created five States

They probably want to immortalize him for carrying out the Asaba Masaccre during the civil war. For killing Atleast 1000 innocent harmless Igbo civilians,in the most gruesome manner and against all rules of military engagement.

Reno Omokri is in severe pains,Peter Obi for once should just give him the needed attention he has been seeking from him. Funny enough i dont even think Obi knows such an idi*t nincompoop exits....like they say 'silent is the best answer to a fo*l'.

Pls this is long overdue,they should quickly recall that nincompoop...those who are doubting it,should know that they masses never voted him and as such thousands of verifiable signatures will be collected and then he will know that nemesis is a bitch. The good people of Plateau south has rejected him for good.

Nice to know that the president loves football and i like the idea of him settling all their outstanding money before the competition.

Coldspice:
Be deceiving yourself. Na recruit dey become DIG?

When other zones had candidates for DIG position, South East didn't have anybody. They had to carry Frank Mba CP to become AIG in order to become eligible as DIG.

Now, some zones have produced 4 successive DIGs, only Frank Mba is there as DIG.
Your loss. Deal with it.

whats this one saying,a recruit can never be a DIG,it is meant for graduates. The only reason you dont have enough igbos at that level of DIG,is simply because of state sponsored systematic marginalization of ndigbo since after the civil war. Most times Igbo officers promotion are often delayed and by the time they are getting to that DIG position,they are forced to retire because of age....we all understand Nigerian politics.

I like the recent manner in which both Peter Obi of LP and Atiku Abubakar of PDP are keeping the Nigerian criminal enterprise on their toes...this is the kind of opposition we ve been clamouring for.

Zico5:
Nairaland need to do something on those cursing the president on daily basis here. Since tribal abuse has been removed, the next for them is cursing the president on daily basis. What's the need for all these nonsense. Seun should pls do something on this issue

I know you are angry that tribal bashing was removed because that was your speciality. You might have sounded more intelligent if you equally had suggested that there must be an end to any form of insult and basically on the 'peoples' president HE Peter Obi by your ilks loitering over the internet space.

franchasofficia:
Lol, take a closer look at the names of the so called coalition members, and you will understand their mission.


This same foolish, corrupt, tribal-religious coalition didn't tell us about the humongous corrupt practices going on in Nigerian Army under the leadership of Maj. Lagbaja, neither did they bother to dig out the massive corruption in Nigerian Customs and Defense Ministry, na only for Navy where an Igbo man is heading they are screaming fowl play like goats on heat period.


Na only when they see an Igbo person heading a Nigerian government agency or body their tribal body begin to pepper them, but once it's a Hausa-Fulani or Yoruba person leading, no corruption allegation will be dug out until that criminal completes his or her criminal tenure.


The fire weh una want set for Nigeria, e go soon burn all of una, see their yeye names forming civil society coalition my ass, nonsense. sponsored attack to bring down the only Igbo man occupying somewhat good position under Emilokan regime.



Make we see wetin Tinubu go do first, we de watch una, useless tribal-religious bigots

I cannot hold brief for Ogalla,if he is corrupt he should be investigated,thats our Igbo spirit at play,we love justice. However,we know Nigerians of other tribes will do everything to bring down anything Igbo. When the issue of Tunji Ojo involvment in the Betta Edu case came up,they all lost their voices and it was silenced. They other day, a coalition of Northern groups petitioned against the idea of EFCC calling out their former governors for probe. Just watch the way Emeifele was brought down and yet the main culprits whom swallowed our national patrimony in Buhari's regime are free men working the street. Where is Malami,Tunde Sabiu and a host of other criminals.Even the notorious former minister of humanitarian affairs and the avaition guy that brought us an Ethiopian airline in place of the so called Nigerian airways,are all treated with kid glove.Betta edu was instantly ran down and now they are targetting the naval chief. We are watching with kin interest.

As much as i do not like any form of destruction,i trust Adeleke to come out with more beautiful and environmental friendly structure. Lets give him the benefit of doubt.

Nigeria Army we appreciate your efforts but pls take no prisoners,kill them all.....we must wipe out bandits from this country. Let them go back to the mountains of Futa Jalon where they came from.

God bless Anambra
God bless ndigbo
God bless the good people of Africa！

As much as i hate all this neo imperialistic conglomerates that takes undue advantage of developing economies,i just hope Reno the jobless blogger is not doing a dirty job for glo.How come few weeks after MTN warned that it will cut interconnectivity with glo,due to backlog of unpaid money owed MTN,Reno is now everywhere calling out MTN.
I just cant trust that national clown,he is cheaper than toilet paper and could have been bought over by just anybody.

Thank you Nigerian police for a job weldone,pls 'take no prisoners,kill them all'.

Personally, this is the worst Super Eagles team I have seen in decades.

Unfortunately, I don't see how they will beat Cameroon in this tournament.

Why are you sounding pessimistic,the camerounian side is even worst off,grouping us with cameroun gives us a golden chance of making it through.

We may need this wonderful babe in super eagles to man the post.

Timetravel88:
Continue talking rubbish. Read your history you won’t now you have embarrassed yourself online.
Gowon and his people mostly from Plateau state murdered millions of Igbo children during the Biafran war. Did you hear anyone from Plateau state condemn the attacks?
They starved children to death and used their blood as an adhesive to keep Nigeria one, at all cost is what that implies. Today that one Nigeria is killing them in their hundreds. Talk about karma and you won’t be far from the truth.

Mr historian,You are just being unnecessarily vindictive,a lot has happened since then,stop living in the past,learn to move on with your life.

So this means that the Hausa-Fulani community in Mangu and the terrorist Fulani herdsmen are in accord. From the narration of the witness,the skirmishes in Mangu town happened as a decoy so as to continue there genocide against these indigenous christians...we the good people of South East are with you in this trying times and i can assure you that they may kill your people but never will the jihadist take over your land. The blood of saints,waters the trees of freedom. Never will these 'uncircumsized phillistine's defy the army of the living God'！！！

I hope this refinery becomes a success and reduces our demand for refined products from abroad,with Portharcourt and other smaller refineries coming on board...we may just get it right.

This news will not make it to front page and this could have been a viral news with several pages on nairaland if a particular ethnic group was mentioned...Lagos-Ibadan parapo media will be silent on this,what an amazing nation we are！

He lost his voice when Sanusi was sacked by his principal,only to find his voice now...however an eye for an eye keeps everyone blind. There should be an amicable and acceptable way out of this quagmire. Let them give peace a chance.

By appreciating the president,it is a big indictment on the president and a let down on our judiciary. Nassarawa state governor quickly ran to Abuja to appreciate the president after the supreme court judgement,when it was obvious the election that brought him was flawed and the wishes of the people was subverted....this is true definition of a banana republic.
Muftwang won outrightly by overwhelming majority and APC in their usual way tried to see if they can take it through the back door and the rest is now history. Why the hell is he going to Abuja to appreciate the president,he is losing credibility by going to Abuja and they masses that voted him are watching.
