So biafran planes actually bombed Lagos? Never heard this side of the biafran war.

I remember the song/chanting “Nigeria win the war heya heya” after the war ended.

War no good oh. Had to switch of our lights in Lagos to avoid the Biafran planes bombing Lagos yet we had ECN available then.

The Biafrans succeeded in bombing casino cinema at alagomeji with some casualties.

War no good young men and women war no good at all.

He's clearly lying, Sanwoolu please where are your own projects? Almost 4 years since you became governor and you have not a single project to your name

Nigerians should at least apply common sense if not intelligence. Do you expect Sanwoolu to abandon inherited projects just as his predecessor did?

Governance is a matter of continuity.

Love making is supposed to be a collaborative effort. Sometimes it’s a bit daunting to gain entry especially if you are new to it.
Next time ask your Darling to guide you in. And then make sure you memorize the angle of attack.

If the Nigerian government is smart, they should turn the turn the place into a special economic zone. With its own municipal laws, financial regulator etc. Then attract foreign financial institutions as well wealthy foreigners to stay visa fee. Meanwhile corporation tax entities domiciled in the territory will be paid in dollars into the federation account.

Now there is explanation, there is the process, and the probable reason, this is helpful

There is nothing wrong with been attracted to someone of same sex. How do we choose our friends?
Sexual attraction is different. It’s that overwhelming drive to be intimate with some.
A straight person might say this person is handsome of beautiful. A gay person will be sexually aroused and would want to be intimate with the person.

Family / Re: Why Do Women Lose Interest In Sex After Marriage? by Babanah: 4:36pm On Jan 18, 2021
RisenPhoenix1:


Women use sex to buy love. Men use love to buy sex. Like any economic transaction each party is looking to find a bargain, i.e. spend the minimum amount of their currency to purchase the maximum amount of the service they need. So once women have gotten the man's commitment, they will thereafter spend as little sex as is necessary to keep him from straying to another market. Whereas, once a man has acquired the woman's sexual favours, he will spend the minimum amount of love and commitment to keep her from withholding them. The best solution is to marry more than one wife. Thereafter, they can share the sexual burden among themselves, and the man can pretend to love all of them equally and share a little of his attention among each of them; satisfying all parties involved.

Factoid of life. Free of charge for you.

You are indeed a genius.
Politics / Re: Chief Of Army Staff Vs Chief Of Defence by Babanah: 12:32am On Jan 17, 2021
Tranquill:


I am not trying to belittle his office but Buratai and the other military chiefs can mobilize and deploy men to different locations but chief of defense can not.

The COD comes in when the is a combined operations between the services. Say if there is combined action by both the army and navy who takes command? Such action will be coordinated by the CDS but has no direct control over individual services
Politics / Re: Chief Of Army Staff Vs Chief Of Defence by Babanah: 11:41pm On Jan 16, 2021
A brief background to the creation of the CDS position.

In 1979 the outgoing Obasanjo led military administration decided to replace the retiring COAS, Gen TY Danjuma with Gen Alani Akinrinade.

However so after the new civilian government came into office, the decided to replace Gen Akinrinade (for obvious reasons).

They therefore decided to “elevate” him to CDS and was then replaced Gen Jalo as COAS.

Gen Akinrinade then retired from the military shortly after he was appointed CDS.
Health / Re: Missing Dele Bandele Commits Suicide Over Depression (Suicide Note) by Babanah: 7:14pm On Jan 13, 2021
falopey:
The noise got too loud, but now the noise can stop"

Now that you have committed suicide. Little did you know the noise just started at the great beyond. Suicide is not an option. Stay away from suicide.

I battled depression for ten years. My mom would always tell me, “ anytime you feel like killing yourself, just know that it’s the devil talking to you “. She stood by me and encouraged me everyday.

Today I’m thankful. I have overcome through Christ Jesus.

My friend, the logic for those who are depressed and later commit suicide is - The uncertainty of what to experience in death offers a far better prospect than what they are currently experiencing while alive. Very difficult to imagine the pain, such magnitude of pain does exist to lead someone to take their own life.

If you are a fat person and you are suffering from ibotan” grin (I don’t know the English)you need to get a skin scream like neoskin to get rid of it.

To the guys, inability to have or maintain erection may be a sign of your cardiovascular condition. See your doctor for a checkup first before embarking on exercises.
A good exercise regime together with a healthy diet should reverse the condition.

Politics / Re: Meet Tom Tugendhat Who Accused Gowon Of Looting Half Of Central Bank Of Nigeria by Babanah: 8:24pm On Nov 27, 2020
eagleu:
Why so much hair splitting by biased and paid internet trolls about corruption during Gowon era is a surprise, but being Nigeria, always expected the impossible.

Gowon had the opportunity to lead Nigeria, lay a lasting foundation, and carry the nation forward, but he didn't. The guy knew his administrative limitations as a young military officer, he brought in Awolowo, promised to hand over after a few years, but what did he do? He reneged.

Shame on anybody who's arguing that because he went to UK from Ethiopia, he didn't carry Nigeria's wealth with him. Even by appointing, and allowing corrupt people around him, Gowon was guilty. Whether he carried a plane load of naira notes, or he transferred it gradually over the years, the effect is the same. It shouldn't even be a point of dispute, but here it is.

A young officer who went around telling people that Nigeria's problem was not money, but how to spend it should have looked back and apologized for some of his grandiose statements, but no, he has uninformed trolls spewing thrash on his behalf.

Whether Gowon is defended by a million paid trolls or not, the result remains the same today: Nigeria did not lay a good foundation for its future - thanks to Gowon, Jack.

You must be a very young person.
Who after the war came up with the notion of "No victor no vanquished"
In 1970 the Biafrans bombed lagos. We had to switch of our lights at night in Lagos. By 1972 Nigeria hosted the all African games. All Nigerians participated including our eastern brothers. In fact Nigeria came second. Yet a few years back the brothers were at each other's neck.

Who introduced the three r's reconstruction, rehabilitation and reconciliation policy after the war?
Who established the national youth service corp to foster national unity?

Whose government started the national development plan for the country. If these plans had been followed through, Nigeria should by now be like South Korea.

Who relied on the brains of top civil servants. Oxford and Cambridge educated Nigerians. Not the federal character civil servant you have these days.
Nigeria was well respected those days. We had people from India ,Thailand ,Philippines West Indies trooping to Nigeria for a better life.
The civil war was conducted without borrowing a pound.
Gowon administration still remains the best so far by all standards.
Nigeria was not just the giant of Africa, we were the pride of the black race.

So, because he was overthrown while on a conference in Kenya?
Did it mean he had no money in the UK already?
Oh, he didn't have time to collect his Ghana must go full of naira in Lagos?
What a shallow and childish understand.

Corruption was one of the reasons Murtala Mohammed overthrew him.

I know Gen Gowon better than you think. He is a very simple and humble person. We used to meet him at the Christmas party in Dodan barracks in those day near the tennis courts. My father was not a big man in those days.

I remember we used to have the chance to peep into his official car ‘NA 1’ with three stars whenever visits for official ceremonies like festac 2nd all Africa games etc.

Most of the developments in Lagos were initiated by his administration national stadium, national theatre, eko bridge, new Carter Bridge, Lagos badagary express road, trade fair complex, tin can island port, rebuilding of ikorodu road, western avenue, agege motor road, new Ikeja airport later renamed MMA. The list goes on.
General Gowon remains the most decent and sincere of Nigeria leaders no doubt.

Nigeria was at its heights during the Gowon regime. Since then every thing has been down hill till today

Let's not be emotional about this. Yakubu Gowon was in Ethiopia attending a meeting when he was overthrown. So how did he then move half of CBN? Did he come back to Nigeria to tell the new military govt to give him half of the CBN treasury? Impossible. Bring up your own "superior" logic.
The guy said the man LEFT NIGERIA with half of CBN money. Actually, Gowon went to the UK FROM ETHIOPIA after he learned of his ouster. So it doesn't add up.

MODIFIED: For all of you quoting me misunderstanding my logic, it's the lawmaker who didn't use the right words. He said Yakubu 'left Nigeria with half of CBN' meaning the looting was after he was overthrown and was done at once. He should have said "Yakubu stole half of the CBN while he was the head of state".



Gowon was overthrown why attending the OAU summit in Kampala Uganda and not Ethiopia.

In those days member states took turns to host OAU summits.

Gowon later left for the UK to study political science at the university of Warwick. From Bsc to phd.

He was pictured queuing for food at the university cafeteria. Which drew the aire of the new government in Nigeria at that time.

So much for someone who looted the CBN.
