Abeg Yoruba people time of propaganda is over..igbo people are greater Dan u people in all aspect bye

Dont let hate cloud your reasoning. You dont know his novels doesnt mean school kids dont know it ( The lion and the Jewel).The only Nigerian to bag one of the biggest recognition in the world. Yes Chinue Achebe is a great Novelist but never compare him with the only Nobel Laurel ever produced in this country. Not many countries has produced a Nobel Laurel.

MrTruth4real:
Wrong bro, chevron office is still in warri, its shell that left. And there's rumor that they are coming back.

I didnt say they are not in warri, am talking abt the HQ. The HQ is in Lagos.

tyhgfrdeswscbhf:
Igbo are representing Nigeria with scholars both in medicals, educational , works etc and Yoruba people are here bragging about nonsesnse music

Oga tribalist, Yorubas and igbos are doing the country proud in all endeavours. Just that Yorubas dominate in music.

Not surprised Yorubas lead the music industry in Nigeria.

Millerz:
Hypocrite!!

So ND isn't safe for location of Headquarters but for oil theft?? When has PH not been peaceful?

Like you dont know Shell HQ is still in warri/ PH cant remember now, Chevron and Mobil left Warri to PH and then to Lagos complaining abt the insecurity.

Since u r encouraging hardship. I hope it doesn't befall u in full gear. Enjoy ur hardship.
And point of correction, we av lost about 9billion dolllars or more in the NSE in one year of demented dullard. I don't know where u got that statistics from.
Av a nice hard day.

My friend the way he made people billionaires is a wrong way of going abt it. So you prefer criminals in disguise of Militants and Corrupt politiicans becoming billionaires that stash their money in foreign countries to hardworking business men and women that empower more Nigerians.Besides a third world country like Nigeria with poverty, poor infrastructures etc.shdnt be producing too much billionaires, the govt ought to tax them heavily to give to the poor and improve lives of the less priviledge in the society in form of social welfare.

Oga if you dont know lagos well, do yourself a favour and shut up, that particular area is close to the sea and lagos usually have high magnitude of rainfall so it is expected. Flood is a natural disaster in countries which high magnitude of rainfall. As developed as the USA some parts get flooded.

Many of those people supporting the girl did not decode her true intentions in the story.
The girl wants to milk the guy, she wants him to pay for her friends . if truly her friends too had the intention of watching the movie on their own she didnt need to tell the guy, all they needed do was to show up, introduce her friends to him, they proceed to the ticket stand to get their own tickets and they all go in. Even better if they sit at a distance from their friend and her date. But she didnt do that, she called to confirm if the guy was loaded enough to care for her two friends.

now in one word what has puttn on hijab done to affect u pple we Muslims attend xtians skulls even pray based on ur belief use d SOP with u pple wen we are not by chance in need of it but we tolerated all dis but covern d hair has affected u pple in a particular way dat I dnt understand

And a christian wont be mandated to recite the quran in muslim schools.
You need to reason well and drop religious sentiments to understand this issue. I initally tilted towards supporting the muslims since they have always used the hijab even as i am a christian but i re-examined the whole issue and came to the conclusion that it is not fair on the christians.

Do you know our religion christianity mandated our women not too wear trousers. If the govt mandates everyone to wear trousers in NYSC. If the muslim can ask for a bend to the rule of uniform by wearing hijab will it be fair on the christian sisters who do not wish to wear trousers but were forced by govt rule to wear it.If the govt can bend d rules for muslim why not the christians. Besides Nigeria is a secular state, muslim women do not wear hijabs on Army Uniform. In Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the rest women wear hijabs on Army uniform that is cause its an Islamic nation.

And if a christian goes to a muslim school he wont be reciting the quran. They wont even accept a christian for that matter unless he/she converts to islam.

SC31:
no they aren't but they should also be given fair hearings,in Lagos,Oyo and some other states that are practising that law is there no peace Or in unis does anyone stop anyone from not wearing hijab,no....pls lets be logical here and not sentimental....the deeper lives don't wear trousers but during Nysc they have to not because their faith is low but just to show oneness.

Brilliant, i read through from the first page of this thread and i felt like a judge in a law court trying to reach a verdict until i came across your comment.
Deeperlife is a perfect example to counter the claims of the muslims.
If during NYSC everyone must wear the uniform which is shirt and kaaki trousers, deeperlife does not wear trousers but are forced to because the govt wants the dressing to be uniform. So why cant the muslims align with these rules. That is to say if a muslim is given the right to wear a hijab, then a christian deeperlife too has the same right to wear skirt kaaki.

So to the muslims, you see why it cannot work, i am going with CAN on these matter. If govt can bend d rules for muslims, then they must also bend the rules for christians, Nigeria is not an Islamic nation but a Secular one. Aregbesola is a big fool for merging those schools.

AntiWailer:
WIth a Brilliant Career with average of 25Million per annum, it will take you 120 years to earn that money if you are not spending a dime from it and Govt decide not to tax you.
lol

Nice infact, this is just one of his accounts, a 9 billion naira account was previously frozen when he refused to show up in court. Infact it was said that 500 million dollars was paid to one of his accounts from NIMASA for pipeline surveillance and protection. He also received money from the overbloated land purchase costing 13 billion naira for Nigeria Maritime University. Some idiots will now be supporting these criminals all because you hate the president.

Have you ever asked why there is ECOWAS embossed on top of the Nigerian passport? You think it is there for fun? That sign is there to remind the any country in West Africa you go to that you are a citizen of an ECOWAS member state and you have the full right to travel, live and work anywhere in West Africa. The only reason that Ghanains could be deported long ago was because Nigeria and other member states had not yet signed the 1992 ECOWAS free trade agreement. Anyone from any ECOWAS country can travel, live and work in Nigeria without Visa. There are many people in Nigeria, some living abroad who have handed their properties over to estate managers or even their Lawyers to take of for them. It happens all time.

I googled search before i replied you, there is no such thing as automatic residency, you will have to apply for it. As for the properties you may be right, i dont know the law in Nigeria but in the USA,the property manager can rent on the foreigner's behalf but will pay rental income tax until the period of lease expires.But Nigeria nigeria is a sovereign country and can make its own land laws, its not subject to international laws but can be negotiated between both parties.

Why not counter my claims if you know better lets read what you think wld b the situation.

When PDP wins in 2019,they should make sure APC is witch hunted.

But right now,somebody needs to be witch hunted

BTW,why are you defending those who kept us in this terrible condition?

Bad roads didnt start in this tenure. Neither did power outage or a cripped educational system.

I dont like APC but let the witch hunt continue

I keep asking them this question offline, if a police man sees a thief carting away a Ghana- must go full of money(PDP at Federal level) and a pick pocket who stole 1000 naira (APC at State level) as a reasonable and responsible police man which one of them shd he try to catch?

zendy:
There is one thing to note. Whenever a country secedes from another, there is always a period of negotiations for the "terms of disengagement" that follows. It happened when East Timor left Indonasia. It is during this time that the sharing of assets and liabilities are discussed as well as the status of citizens of old and new countries. Sometimes, the residency status is not an issue like the case of when Czecoslovakia split into Czec Republic and Repubic of Slovakia in 1992, the residency was not a problem because both countries we're immediately admitted into the EU and their citizens gained immediate residency status. It could be that if any group of people in Nigeria left, example if Igbos left as the Republic of Biafra, they might gain almost immediate residency status if Biafra joins ECOWAS. All ECOWAS member states have automatic residency status in any of the 15 countries that make up ECOWAS. But in the case that Biafra does not join ECOWAS and the Nigerian Government decides not to to give the Biafrans residency or even a 'grace period' to liquidate their assets, the Biafrans will have return home with movable assets while the immovable ones such as houses can be handed over estate managers, property Lawyers and so on to manage on their behalf, collect rent or sell on their behalf. However, the disadvantage of Nigeria doing this is that it will give Nigeria a very bad name in the international community and make international investors run away. What these people will think is "If Nigerians can do that to Igbos they used to call brothers, what can they do to me tomorrow as a foreigner?". This will be devastating for the Nigerian economy.

You are wrong abt the automatic residency status, there is visa free access which you will be given time of stay. If there was an auto-matic residency why did the shagari govt come up with the " Ghana must go" campaign. Which property lawyer will collect rent from his fellow country man and send it down to you in another country where is that done except the property manager is a saint. Guy accept the fact i have told you in my last post. Nigeria is not doing anything bad here, is either biafrans apply for Nigerian residency or you remain as Nigerians. Even if Biafran joins Ecowas they can only have visa free access with a limited time of stay. I can assure you Nigeria has the right to choose which biafran they give resident permit/ Citizenship/ Business visa and not every biafran will get one so at the end of it all some biafrans will loose their properties.

zendy:
The question you are asking has already been answered on the thread. International law protects anyone's investment or properties anywhere in the world. Where there are usually problems is in shared Ownership of properties, investments,liabilities and debts. But those things can be worked out in negotiations. Secession by one group from a political Union is no longer novelty, not even in Nigeria. In 2014, there was a referendum in Scotland. In the same Britain, there will be another referendum in Britain in about a week to decide if they want to stay in the European union or not. Even in Nigeria, in the 60's there was a referendum when the Northern British Cameroons voted in referendum to join Nigeria while the South of it voted to join French Cameroons. So secession is not a new thing and if there are any group of people in Nigeria who awant to leave, they should be given a referendum

One question for you what if Nigeria claim they dont have the monetary equivalent of the biafran properties and wont issue Resident visas to biafrans? What then becomes of such properties? That is why before you acquire a property in britain from another country of birth, you must first of all acquire a british citizenship or residency. If you are coming as an investor, govt will give you a waiver to that effect and onces you decide to close down the business/investment and go back to your home country no body will give u any monetary equivalent of your property. Best you can do is to get the property sold before leaving. If biafrans dont get buyers for their properties and refused residency visas, the properties is as good as gone.

zendy:
All this maybe true, but this thread is about Aburi. The Aburi meeting was to reconcile the country after two bloody coups. The Nzeogwu coup killed less than 15 people, the counter coup claimed over 300. What ended in an agreement at Aburi, signed and sealed, was broken by Gowon which resulted in war.

Ok i agree with you, this thread is about an agreement broken. Then Gowon is the culprit for breaking his own part of the agreement.

kenny987:
Reconsider before it's too late meaning what na?

Did d Igbo professionals cause any problems or instigate violence to make government pass any law mandating state governments to allocate land for Igbo entrepreneurs n business men? Did private individuals n state governments not peacefully sell or rent property to Igbos who peacefully paid n occupied?

Cattle rearing is private business and no government should make any law for mandatory allocation of land for grazing routes. If the fulanis had respected themselves without destroying lives n property and peacefully bought lands from host communities or sought allocation from state governments, no one will be raising eyebrows now.

The position of the Igbos and other sane Nigerians is that nomadic roaming especially at night must stop, they should gather money or acquire loans like proper business men, buy or lease what they need and set up proper ranches, pay taxes and contribute positively to whichever community they choose to reside in. No part of the South is an inheritance of Fulani for them to roam at will in free of charge and destroy when the mood strikes.

They are free to go anywhere provided they obey n abide by d laws of the land and be at peace. However, cattle rearing is not government business and must never have public funds or property committed for such private concerns.

I agree 100% with you. I am Yoruba and the owners of those cattles are rich men let them buy land in states of their choice for grazing no state govt shd give cattle rearers free land to graze. Why is the federal govt even advocating for this bill something that is a private business. So they want to spend our money to import gras s all because the president is a fulani cattle rearer. I voted for APC and i am begining to dislike some of their policies.

henrydadon:
Efcc is not doing itself any favours by storming houses in such an aggressively illegal and vicious manner. Is that what they call investigation? If Obanikoro is a crook simply charge him and all other looters who have fled the country in absentia, hear the cases, get judgements and request their extradition via the proper procedures. All this hooliganism is uncalled for and will destroy Buhari' feigned democracy. What is all this carting away of watches? Aisha Buhari now wears a very expensive rolex, beyond the president's declared assets, are efcc taking the watches to her? Bunch of hooligans in power, no better than the thieves they replaced. Lamorde stole trillions of recovered funds, the presidency rewarded him by sending him on a leadership degree at Kuru. Fake anti-corruption

You are right and also wrong with some of your assertions. I agree with you that they dont need to cart away wrist- watches and cars, he has held several positions in government so he is not a poor man that will not be able to afford an expensive wrist-watch. But sealing the house i am with them 100%. Why because when these people where carting away our money, the think about any rule of law. So let EFCC too not apply any rule of law on them.
This rule of law we continue shouting is what is slowing down the process of trail and frustrating the government in the fight against corruption. Rule of law shdnt not be applied in bundling them but they shd charge them to court at the appropraite time.

zendy:
That question is very simple to answer. Take Akintola for example. When they coup plotters came to arrest Akintola, he opened fire from his balcony. They returned fire and killed him. When they went to arrest 'Fani power', FFK's father, he willingly gave up. He survived the ordeal. When they went arrest Ahmadu Bello, his guards opened fire at the gates, the coup plotters returned fire. Most of those who were killed were people who resisted. I'm not defending the coup plotters, I'm just saying that most of those who were killed, died in the crossfire. As for the mid west and East, there was hardly any coup activity their because Enugu and Benin City were not as important as Lagos and Kaduna. However this thread is not about the first coup, this thread is about the violation of the Aburi accord by Gowon which led to the War.

You have a point but it was only Akintola that opened fire. The sadaurna did not open fire instead they sprayed his office building, the building is still there in the North for all to see. They killed the Finance minister Okotie-Eboh he was from the midwest and many others from other region. Not one single leader from the East was even arrested not to talk of killing them.

zendy:
How can it be an Igbo coup when it was Igbos like Aguiyi Ironsi and Ojukwu who foiled the coup?

How can it be an Igbo coup when Major Ademoyega,Captain Adeleke and Lt Oyewole were major participants?

I think Ojukwu knew that the Northerners could not be trusted, same as the Yorubas. Ojukwu knew their antics well. Let's not forget that Ojukwu was born in the North and grew up as a young kid in Lagos. Ojukwu was one of the few people I have ever met who could speak Igbo/Hausa/Yoruba fluently. Ojukwu had the foresight to insist that the Aburi meeting be recorded, if not, the federal Government would have tried to sweep that meeting under the carpet just like they did with the war. It was the violation of the Aburi agreement by Gowon that led to the war. Naturally, Yorubas being a people who can never stand up for anything in Nigeria nodded their head to brazen grab of power by the North. But Ojukwu being the true Igbo son he is said no to slavery and stood up to fight. To this day, the average Yoruba still applauds himself on that act of cowardice concerning the Aburi agreement while rebuking Ojukwu for not accepting northern domination just like the Yoruba nation did. I will never understand how a person can congratulate themselves for being a coward but insult the people who had the guts to get up and fight for themselves. Wonders shall never end.

All you have written is trash, answer my question above before we can go further with a constructive argument. Why did they kill the leaders of Western, Northern, Mid-western Nigeria and left those of the East? If you cant answer it then just keep quiet.

N.B: The essence of this information is mainly to expose the lies of the notorious history distortionists and wicked propagandists who insult and malign others continually with lies and falsehood, and shout and make much noise on every available media. This a tribe that is after all well known for being loose cannons. Uncouth, uncivilised and disrespectful set of people who made a career out of abuse and slurs.
The same treacheerous beings who precipitated the January 1966 coup and the 1967-70 civil war with their bloody 'Operation Wetie ' in the SW. They start trouble and heat up the polity only to run cowardly to hide in their evil Soka forest when the jungle matures.
Disciple of hate and propaganda, here are the members of Yoruba tribe that participated in the January 1966 coup:
(See Ben Gbulie: ‘Nigeria’s Five Majors.’).

*Adewale Ademoyega is the most prominent Yoruba participant in the coup, there were other Yoruba officers who were involved at the dangerous execution stage of the coup. One of them is:

*Second Lieutenant Olafimihan, an officer serving under Madiebo in Kaduna. He was sent by the plotters to gauge his commander’s loyalty. (See Madiebo pp.17-18).

*Another is Lieutenant (some books refer to him as a Captain) Fola Oyewole. He, like Ademoyega, went on to fight for Biafra and wrote a book on his coup and wartime experiences. The book’s title is ‘Reluctant Rebel.’

*There is also Captain Ganiyu Adeleke who became an instructor in the Biafran Infantry School. For confirmation, see the list of coup plotters detained by Ironsi’s regime in Ademoyega pp.106-108, and this quote from Nowa Omoigui’s online account: ‘Mid-Western Invasion of 1967’: ‘Captain Ganiyu Adeleke, who had taken part in both the January 15 coup and the Mid-Western invasion before becoming an instructor in the Biafran School of Infantry was released at a later date after his co-plotters had been freed.’ Omoigui’s work is significant because, though he exhibits a high level of professionalism in his research, he has no sympathy for the January 15 coup. If his facts corroborate Ademoyega’s they are worthy of attention.

Get the books and published papers and acquire some useful knowledge that can help you make informed decisions, and unravel the lies and propaganda being peddled in the public domain by the criminal 'sophisticated' tribe, even in this age of information technology.

So you think i dont know all these before. Yes i know some other tribes were involved but i also know that Nzeogwu and Ifeajuwa were superiors to them and igbos dominated the Military in the first republic. Was it not on their target list to take out all regional leaders? So why was that of the East speared. Dont come here and deceive anybody as much as i know ow babaric Hausa- Fulanis can be, it was the actions of that coup and mockery of the butchery of the Northern leaders that caused the negative reaction

Femi Adesina trying to buy sympathy of the igbos. He failed to mention what the igbo soldiers did before the masscre of igbos in 1966 in Northern Nigeria. Let us ask ourselves these question why kill leaders in Northern, Western and Mid western Nigeria and refuse to touch even one strand of hair on Eastern leaders. That alone is why they term it an igbo coup.
