If only this hug could be replicated in the larger socio ethnic divide in the south. We become one body solid enough to extricate ourselves from this forced conjecture.

This is a big SHAME to the south east governors. They should really hide their faces in shame

This is a big SHAME to the south east governors

Sin is the control of an evil spirit over your flesh. Therefore fighting it with the flesh by trying to physically overcome it is an effort in futility. We know that the spirit controls the flesh. we must then substitute that sin causing evil spirit in us with the spirit of God which bears witness to our spirit. This can be done by having a covenant time with God. By constantly going to God, the holy spirit displaces the evil spirit and you become truly free indeed. Choose a particular time everyday and spend at least an our in quiet meditation. Study the word of God in Holy spirit inspired books, including the bible and allow the the comforter, the teacher the Holy spirit to lead us to God. Join the new move of God now. The Holy Ghost School, and have that relationship with God.

I think the write-up below should get us thinking:

THE IGBOS AND THE YORUBA 'COLD WAR'; A CASE FOR SOUTHERN UNITY.

By Charles Ogbu.

"Power is like a shadow. It resides exactly where men who are under its control think it resides"

The above is true with regards to the situation of Southerners in the Nigerian experiment.

We think the Fulanis are the ones that have been holding power and because we think and believe so, it actually look so. Because of this assumed knowledge, we hand over our destinies, our future and those of our children to a people who are not above 11 million, have little or no education and contribute little or nothing to the national pulse.

What if I told you that the real power rests in the South and with southerners but that the mutual distrust and foolish superiority contest between Igbos and Yorubas is the biggest obstacle to wielding this power? This senseless feud between these two Southern giants is also the biggest enabler and promoter of the fulani Oligarchy.

The southern part of Nigeria owns the oil which feeds the entire country. Without the oil today, there is no economy and there is no Nigeria. The same south controls the commercial sector of the economy. The media is still owned and controlled by the South.

When a people owns the only thing that is feeding a whole country and still control commerce plus the media through which people's thoughts and opinions about anything can be shaped and can equally boast of the best human resources, what else does it take for such a people to wield power in such a country?

Unity!

The few fulanis who have been running this country directly and indirectly since independence, what do they have?

Unity!

When the fulani Oligarchs want to achieve an aim, they effortlessly find a way to get every northern minorities such as Christians and middle Belts on their side even when they almost always end up discarding these same minorities and even killing them once the aim is achieved.

Now, ask yourself: how have the fulani Oligarchs managed to turn the entire Nigeria into an 'Animal Farm' with them as the only "Napoleon' despite their low education and the fact that all the prerequisites/bargaining chips for acquiring and wielding power are domiciled in the South??

Igbo-Yoruba 'cold war'! This, right here, is the answer.

The day the two biggest southern ethnic groups --The Igbos and The Yorubas --decide to put a stop to their needless bickering and channel all their energy towards confronting their common enemy --the children of Danfodio--, that is the day the Fulani Oligarchs will understand that even though the king is the one with the crown, he is nothing without the kingmakers and the people.

The Fulanis are not runing Nigeria because they are smarter than others. Far from it. They are messing with the destinies of over 180million people because the two Southern big brothers with the wherewithal to end their murderous reign of impunity are busy chasing rats while their houses are afire.

I am no historian neither do I pride myself as a man of letters but I know for a fact that the biggest weapon of the fulanis is neither guns nor bombs. Their biggest weapon is their ability to identify their opponents' weak points or even create one where none exists, magnify it and use same to create division amongst them just so they would effortlessly implement their Divide And Rule tactics.

Sadly, they have succeded in using this weapon against Southern Nigeria's two biggest ethnic groups.

Throughout history, all the wars and woes visited on both the Igbos and the Yorubas all came from the fulanis. There is no record of ethnic clash between these two humane southern Nations.

No time has these two people ever disagreed violently.

Strangely, the mutual suspicion that exist between these two great peoples seem far greater than the one they harbour against their common oppressor, the Scions of Danfodio.

It was not the Igbos who imprisoned Awolowo and killed thousands of Yoruba youths who protested the unjust imprisonment for days in different Yoruba cities in 1963. It was the fulanis and the killing was done by another fulani man, Muhammadu Buhari, who was the then platoon commander, 2nd infantry brigade, Abeokuta. That same year, Buhari was gifted with double promotion on the same day by the govt of Tafawa Balewa.

It was not the Igbos who imprisoned many Yoruba leaders, forced others into exile and killed others like Abiola after annuling his presidential victory.

It was not the Igbos who attacked Yoruba citizens in Lagos neither was it the Igbos who desecrated Yoruba cradle of civilisation, Ile-Ife by cutting off the head of a Yoruba citizen and parading it along the street, thereby sparking off a bloody ethnic clash that ended in the arrest of only the Yorubas including an Oba by the fulani president and his fulani security agents.

It is not Igbo herdsmen that kidnapped a yoruba son, Chief Olu Falae and have been going about terrorizing and killing Yorubas in Osun, Ogun, Kwara etc with govt-sponsored impunity.

On the other hand,

It wasn't the Yorubas that killed thousands of Igbos in the 1945 Jos pogrom and 1953 kano pogrom.

It was not the Yorubas who slaughtered millions of Igbos in the North after the first 1966 coup.

It was not the Yorubas who jailed an Igbo son, Alex Ekwueme who was only the vice president while the president, Shehu Shagari, a fulani, was left in a cosy apartment in the govt house. It was a Fulani man, Muhammadu Buhari who did this in 1984 after overthrowing the then govt in a coup.

Was it the Yorubas that is holding Nnamdi Kanu? Or was it the Yorubas who rained bullets and acid on hundreds of Igbo sons and daughters praying inside a school field in Abia state on Feb.9th, 2016 and those remembering their Biafran heros inside a church in Onitsha on May 29-30, that same year?

Is it Yoruba herdsmen that have been killing, maiming and raping villagers in Nimbo, Nsukka, Awgu Bende Council etc, all in Igbo land?

Today, even Jack, my two day old puppy knows that Nigeria CANNOT work as presently constituted. It was the rejection of the Aburi Accord by the Fulani Oligarchs which would have restructured Nigeria as a Confederation that led to the Biafran war. Today, the Yorubas want a restructured country. The Niger Delta want the same thing. The Igbos want Biafra BECAUSE Nigeria has refused to restructure.

Who are the only people resisting the call for restructuring, thereby holding everyone to ransom? Your guess is as good as mine.

Dear Yorubas and Igbos, what exactly are you dragging?

Why have you refused to realise that you have a common enemy, a very ruthless common enemy who have kept you busy fighting among yourselves while he's busy ruining your future and that of your unborn generation?

Can you not see that your siblings; Ijaws, Urhobo, Edo, etc are all looking up to you for that 'big brother' leadership and direction?

Can't you see that the fulanis are not really the problem? You are! Your disunity is!

You have no reason to be fighting.

Was it not a Yoruba man, Lt. Col Fajuyi, who chose to die with his visitor and commander-in-Chief, Thomas Umunnakwe Aguyi-Ironsi, an Igbo man, rather than give him up to the Hausa/fulani soldiers on 28th July, 1966?

Was it not an Igbo man, Odumegwu Ojukwu, who released Obafemi Awolowo from calabar prison and sent a squad of Eastern Nigerian policemen who escorted him to Ikenne, Ijebu, his home town?

You pride yourselves as the two most educated people in the country, yet your best brains have been reduced to playing 2nd fiddle to the Scions of Danfodio who are mostly without even a secondary school certificate.

In 1979, it was one of the best Igbo brains, Alex Ekwueme, playing 2nd fiddle to Shehu Shagari.
In 1983/84, it was Idiagbo playing 2nd fiddle to a Buhari who had no certificate.
In 2015, it is a Yoruba professor of law still in political purgatory under the same fulani-born Muhammadu Buhari who has now acquired a certificate........NEPA bill certificate.

Ojukwu is dead. So is Awolowo. And since I was born, Igbos and Yorubas have never killed each other. How about we put the gory stories of the war behind us and save ourselves and unborn children from this danger that is staring us in the face?

It is always the descendants of Danfodio doing all the killing, all the subjugation and slavery and we, the entire south have always been the victim.

In a nutshell, Charles Ogbu is simply saying that the Igbos and the Yorubas should channel their energy towards confronting their common enemy. You can join forces to fight a formidable enemy and still remain ethnically patriotic to your respective ethnic groups!

Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Hmmm no be small thing o. If this small rain can cause much havoc as this, wonder what will happen if we ever experience a tsunami. God help us.

MILFangela:
They want Biafra ... They want to break away from Nigeria .... At the same time they want the Vice Presidency of Nigeria

Madam. I think they r tired of the vice president position. The only thing that will pacify them is the presidency. Its either that or to ur tents oh Is real. Plus they strongly believe they will do better on their own than being forced to live with you.

Toyota Camry 2000. March this year is 3 yrs since I got it. Since then never visited the mech apart from the routine services

PLS HELP. BEEN TRYING TO CONNECT VIA USB TO MY IMAC TO SHARE FILES AND INTERNET, BUT TO NO AVAIL. TRIED DOWNLOADING THE DRIVER 4 IMAC BUT NO SUCCESS. IS IT THAT GIONEE M5 IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH IMAC OR THERES NO DRIVER 4 IT? THANKS.

If only man could see tomorrow, we would not have voted this man in. I'm really disappointed. They appear clueless indeed. I'm sure most devotee's( not the mumu followers) r regretful now. An implosion is inevitable if this present debilitating shameful condition persists. Which way NIGERIA?

I concur!

I think this has gone way past the ordinary protest. It is indeed an idea that wont quit. A burning flame that is gathering strength, set to engulf the collective will of false change embarked upon by this present govt. Its time to make hay. Give this guys a listening ear for God's sake.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR PHONE NO. ALL THESE EXPLANATIONS ARE KIKE FRENCH TO ME

Its only a 40ah battery, Do not overload it or unless u want to add more 12v 40ah battery to it , I Have been using it for 4 months now, the only newest thing I bought is the smart Charger which I bought last week,

Got them tears too

This ignoramus of an Oba has just distorted my thought process in making a decision in who to vote 4. I see myself leaving my dear APC where I dug in deeply in support of change at the federal level and Fashola who I hold in high esteem 4 the transformation evident in Lagos to Jk of the PDP who I wasn't disposed to voting 4. Its really a shame to behold such shallowness in a traditional dynasty. That's in essence how the cookie crumbles. The APC should hold him responsible if there is a negative fall out in the coming governorship election

I'm really ashamed of the outright rigging in the se n ss parts of this country. Though I'm one of them, I detest their perverse handling of this election. Their sentiments understood, but why indulge in this do or die shameful practice, I'm totally disappointed. What if after all this shameful acts, the APC comes out victorious, what will be their fate or gain. BLIND OBSESSION OR SHOULD IT BE STUPID OR FOOLISH OBSESSION
.

You cannot fight the tidal wave, neither can you stop an avalanche. the battle is fought and won. let the agony begin and the thrill of victory be savored by the gallant victorious APC.

Pls anyone who knows the boys contact should email me ajbel2000@yahoo.com, we would like to sign him on, thanks

Well if killing the trouble - makers will make Nigeria safe,then kill them all afterall boko members too are Nigerians and they got killed for making troubles.

YOU MUST BE A REAL FOOL, THERE'S NO BASES 4 COMPARISON BETWEEN BOKO HARAM AND MASSOP AND U SHOULD KNOW THAT, ONE IS AGITATING PEACEFULLY 4 THEIR CONCERN, THE OTHER IS AGITATING VIOLENTLY CLAIMING INNOCENT LIVES 4 THEIR OWN CONCERN, WHO IS ACTUALLY MAKING TROUBLE HERE, TRUTH BE TOLD

Its obvious, its getting worse by the day, this issue is very ambiguous, let us deal with it squarely. first of all, i think our orientation to life, our growing up days, our families, influences has a lot to contribute to this saga. Some PEOPLE R MORALLY BANKRUPT even from childhood that they see nothing wrong with immorality, so they can grow up n sing such songs that will make the next man uncomfortable. 'Sex sells' agreed, but does it make it right. "GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT", n who told u that's what they want. Our musicians n artistes r really narrow minded n indeed lack creativity hence they copy from the west. We swallow all n loose ours, our culture, norms n values, its indeed a shame. We don't have to go that way, we can try n make it the way we want it to be, if we can handle it as adults, how about this kids whose minds are still fresh n fragile, imagine them growing up with all these madness, things we did not experience in our own days as children. There r ways we could write our lyrics 4 songs, shoot the videos without being scandalous, one can still talk about love or sex without being too explicit. I sorry sorry o! as Femi Kuti sang, Our future is in trouble.

As a first son, it is my responsibility to help cater 4 my younger ones. God in his infinite wisdom made me the first and as i always believe, He would not allow any problem that is too much 4 me to bear to befall me. That is why most first sons r very responsible people, they need to be cos of the task ahead of them. So if u find urself in this position, take it as a rare privilegde to serve ur family, do all u can to help out 4 that is ur calling, u r a leader, and a leader is a servant to the lead. Embrace it and God will see u through

nitlad: Demonstrating in Lagos for Biafra's sovereignty? Talk about misplaced priorities of a delusional lot.

What is delusional or misplaced about a set of people agitating 4 what they feel is right?, demonstrations r meant to enlighten the unenlightened about what the struggle is for and it can take place anywhere in the world or everywhere in the world simultaneously so im sure Lagos was chosen because Lagos is the commercial nerve center of the country plus its igbo population density. There's really nothing wrong here as long as its peaceful

Pls bro lecture this ignoramus, penticostalism was born out of disobedience, one man wakes up n understands the bible in a diff way n thats it, they pull out from the main n prosperity becomes the norm

gree-die:
are we talking about the priests as humans susceptible to sin like you me, adebayo etc or are we talking abt the power vested on them by virtue of their calling and office?

Are you saying that paul, former saul isnt qualified to be a disciple cz of his formal lifestyle? Dat d apostles were sinless like God? Dat pastors are also without sin and when they build schs from tithes and charge exorbitant fees it isnt a sin? Or that priests have a higher responsibility than d ones mentioned above, you expect more from them and when they default, the catholic church which they represent looses its credence?? Your reasoning is faulty, i do not mean to insult, but the only word dat come to mind right now is "demented"

d last part about real mary in heaven, do u really mean dat you believe? Or is dat a typo you want to modify?

I seriously wish the dog will bite off her nipple, mtcheeeeew! rubbish

PATHETIC OCCURENCE, SOMETIMES I WONDER WHAT WE R LIVING 4, WHY ISSUES LIKE THIS CROP UP EVERY NOW N THEN. AS I CARRY MY NIGERIAN NATIONALITY ALL OVER THE WORLD, HOW PEOPLE WILL REGARD ME KNOWING THAT IM FROM THAT BARBARIC COUNTRY WHERE HUMAN LIFE IS NEXT TO NOTHING, ITS INDEED A BIG SHAME, GOD PLS HELP US A DROWNING GENERATION
