The impeachment of GEJ by the opposition APC is not possible, the attempt will only lead to so many Ghana-must-go bags flying around, that we'll need Air Traffic Controllers to ensure aircraft safety in our airspace.

If however it succeds, it will probably lead to the end of Nigeria, as there would be a resurgence/recrudescence of militancy/insurgency in the Niger Delta, which will quickly escalate into a full-scale war; a war which Nigeria cannot win. Why? The Asari-Dokubos and Tompolos are awesomely empowered to take on a Nigeria that already lacks internal cohesion, and severely weakened by the Boko Haram (never mind their lies that they are on top of the situation), and which is being held together by the greed of some people.

The APC is still likely to be out-rigged by the PDP. You can fill in the gaps from there.

A coup d'etat will be seen as an attack on the Niger Delta by the North. This is because, aside from the Chukwuma Nzeogwu and Gideon Orka coups, others were led by core Northerners. This is not likely to change. Therefore, irrespective of the reason for the coup, since the odds are 99-1 that it will be led by Northerners, we'll be back at the end result of the first scenario - war!

GEJ will be edged on by Niger Deltans to contest in 2015 even if the heavens will fall, because they will tell him that it is still their 'turn'. He will not accept 1,000 barrels of 'ogogoro' not to contest in 2015.

Agitations on the expiration of the Nigerian contract of 100 years WILL justifiably increase in tempo, and secessionists may gain ground and balkanize Nigeria with or without violence.

Anyhow, it's not likely to be the usual 'crisis-management of crisis-more crisis' cycle

The SS and SE are only likely to form a temporary alliance to rid themselves of the rest of Nigeria. They cannot form a confederation; they cannot sustain their relationship at that level for long.

The MOST STUPID thing the Yoruba can do, and which they will certainly regret forever (because this time, they will pay heavily with their blood) is too allow the political alliance they are forming with the North (in order to remove Jonathan) to mutate into a military one. No Yoruba, military or civilian, should shed his blood for the sustenance of a fraudulent contraption. It will be so, so pointless and brainless!

Let me just re-emphasize this; if Jonathan does not get a second term, the South-South will be worse than the Northeast in terms of security challenges. Are we losing sight of the fact that Jonathan is deliberately turning a blind eye to the massive oil theft in the Niger Delta to empower his people? Whichever government gets there will be stretched thin trying contain and or pacify the SS and the NE at once!

If Jonathan does 'win' again, the Niger Delta would have become so powerful by 2019 that no region is likely to want to confront them again if they decide to pull out of Nigeria; it would be suicidal!

To be honest, I think the Nigerian crisis is about to reach its crescendo, which might, in itself, not be a terrible thing. We might get a resolution at the end of the day.

macof: The Owo language is very similar to Bini language than any other tribe.

Owo dialect is very different from Bini's.
There is a similarity of tongue among Owo,Ondo,Ilaje,Ikale and Itsekiri dialects.

Your comments are spot on.

10 Fearless Black Female Warriors Throughout History




1. [img][/img]

Queen Mother Yaa Asantewaa (c. 1840–October 17, 1921)

Yaa Asantewaa was the queen mother of the Edweso tribe of the Asante (Ashanti) in what is modern Ghana. She was an exceptionally brave fighter who, in March 1900, raised and led an army of thousands against the British colonial forces in Ghana and their efforts to subjugate the Asante and seize the Golden Stool, the Asante nation’s spiritual symbol of unity and sovereignty.

Yaa Asantewaa mobilized the Asante troops and for three months laid siege to the British fort of Kumasi. The British colonizers had to bring in several thousand troops and artillery to break the siege, exiling Queen Yaa Asantewaa and 15 of her closest advisers to the Seychelles. She lived in exile until her death in October 1921. Yaa Asantewaa’s War, as it is presently known in Ghana, was one of the last major wars on the continent of Africa to be led by a woman.

Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Harriet Ross; 1820 – March 10, 1913)

Harriet Tubman was an African-American abolitionist, humanitarian, and Union spy during the American Civil War. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped to Philadelphia in 1849, then immediately returned to Maryland to rescue her family.

She subsequently made more than 19 missions to rescue more than 300 slaves with the help of the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. She later helped recruit men for John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry October 16-18, 1859, to free enslaved Blacks.

In June 1863, Tubman became the first woman to lead an armed expedition in the Civil War. She guided the Combahee River Raid, which liberated more than 700 enslaved Blacks in South Carolina: the largest liberation of enslaved Black people in American history.

Queen Nanny leader of the Jamaican Maroons

Queen Nanny or Nanny (c. 1685 – c. 1755)

Queen Nanny, a Jamaican national heroine, was a well-known leader of the Jamaican Maroons in the 18th century. Nanny was kidnapped from Ghana, West Africa, as a child, and was forced into slavery in Jamaica. Growing up, she was influenced by the Maroons and other leaders of the enslaved Africans. The Maroon people were enslaved Blacks who fled the oppressive plantations and formed their own communities in Jamaica’s interior.

Nanny and her brothers ran away from the plantation and hid in the Blue Mountains area. From there, they led several revolts across Jamaica. Queen Nanny was a well-respected, intelligent spiritual leader who was instrumental in organizing the plans to free slaves.

For over 30 years she freed more than 800 slaves and helped them settle into Maroon communities. She defeated the British in many battles and despite repeated attacks from the British soldiers, Grandy Nanny’s settlement, called Nanny Town, remained under Maroon control for several years.

Ahosi or Mino Dahomey Amazons

Ahosi or Mino (Dahomey Amazons)Ahosi or Mino Dahomey Amazons

The Dahomey Amazons or Mino was an all-female military regiment of the Fon people of the Kingdom of Dahomey in the present-day Republic of Benin. They existed from the 17th century to the end of the 19th century. While European narratives refer to the women soldiers as “Amazons,” because of their similarity to the semi-mythical Amazons of ancient Anatolia, they called themselves Ahosi (king’s wives) or Mino (our mothers) in the Fon language.

The Ahosi were extremely well trained, and inculcated with a very aggressive attitude. They were ferocious fighters with a reputation for decapitating soldiers in the middle of battle, as well as those who were unfortunate to become their captives.

Seh-Dong-Hong-Beh was one of the great leaders of the Mino. In 1851 she led an army of 6,000 women against the Egba fortress of Abeokuta. Because the Mino were armed with spears, bows and swords while the Egba had European cannons, only about 1,200 survived the extended battle.

European encroachment into West Africa gained pace during the latter half of the 19th century. In 1890, King Behanzin used his Mino fighters alongside the male soldiers to battle the French forces during the First Franco-Dahomean War. The French army lost several battles to them because of the female warriors’ skill in battle.

Assata Olugbala Shakur (born July 16, 1947)

Assata Shakur Assata Shakur is an African-American activist who was a member of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army between 1971 and 1973. Assata worked through the BPP and the BLA to fight racial, social, and economic oppression, but became the target of U.S. government’s counter-revolutionary COINTELPRO program. This program used a wide range of tactics, including framing, false imprisonments and assassinations of leaders, to disrupt the radical movement.

Between 1973 and 1977 in New York and New Jersey, Shakur was indicted ten times, resulting in seven separate criminal trials. Shakur’s charges ranged from bank robberies; attempted murder of two police officers; and eight other felonies related to the shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike. Of these trials, three resulted in acquittals; one in a hung jury; one in a change of venue; one resulted in a mistrial due to her pregnancy; and one in a conviction. Three indictments were dismissed without trial. Shakur escaped prison and fled to Cuba after her conviction for the death of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster.

On May 2, 2013, the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced that they had raised the bounty on Shakur’s head to $2 million and placed her on its “Most Wanted Terrorists” list, making her the first woman to be so designated and effectively criminalizing the Black freedom struggle of that era.

For people wondering if Shakur was guilty, the Huffington Post reported that at the trial, three neurologists would testify that the first gunshot shattered her clavicle and the second shattered the median nerve in her right hand. That testimony proved that she was sitting with her hands raised when she was fired on by police.

According to Wikipedia, further testimony proved that no gun residue was found on either of her hands, nor were her fingerprints found on any of the weapons located at the scene. Nevertheless, Shakur was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to life in prison.

Meroic warrior

Amanirenas (died c. 10 B.C.)

Amanirenas (also spelled Amanirena) was one of the greatest kandakes, or queen mothers, who ruled over the Meroitic Kingdom of Kush in northeast Africa. She reigned over the kingdom between c. 40 B.C.-10 B.C. When Roman emperor Augustus levied a tax on the Kushites in 24 B.C., Amanirenas and her son, Akinidad, led an army of 30,000 men to sack the Roman fort in the Egyptian city of Aswan.They also destroyed the statues of Caesar in Elephantine.

Under orders from Augustus, the Roman general Petronius retaliated, but met strong resistance from Amanirenas and her troops. After over three years of harsh fighting, the two parties agreed to negotiate a peace treaty. The Romans agreed to return their army to Egypt, withdraw their fort, give the land back to the Kushites and rescind the tax.

The brave warrior queen, Amanirenas is remembered for her loyal combat, side-by-side, with her own soldiers. She was blinded in one eye after she was wounded by a Roman. However, the full extent of the Roman humiliation has yet to be disclosed since the Kushite account of the war, written in the Meroïtic script, has not been fully decoded.
CANDACE AND SON DESTROYED THE ROMAN FORT

Amanirenas and her son, Akinidad destroyed the Roman fort.

Carlota Lukumí (died 1844)

Carolta Lukumi Machete Carlota was kidnapped from her Yoruba tribe, brought in chains to Cuba as a child and forced into slavery in the city of Matanzas, working to harvest and process sugar cane under the most brutal of conditions.

She was bright, musical, determined and clever. In 1843, she and another enslaved woman named Fermina led an organized rebellion at the Triumvarato sugar plantation. Fermina was locked up after her plans for the rebellion were discovered. Using talking drums to secretly communicate, Carlota and her fellow warriors freed Fermina and dozens of others, and went on to wage a well-organized armed uprising against at least five brutal slave plantation operations in the area. Carlota’s brave battle went on for one year before she was captured, tortured and executed by Spanish landowners.

Queen Nzinga Mbande (c. 1583 – December 17, 1663)
Queen Nzinga Mbande was a highly intelligent and powerful 17th-century ruler of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms (modern-day Angola). Around the turn of the 17th century, Nzinga fearlessly and cleverly fought for the freedom of her kingdoms against the Portuguese, who were colonizing the Central African coast at the time to control the trade of African human beings.

To build up her kingdom’s military might, Nzinga offered sanctuary to runaway slaves and Portuguese-trained African soldiers. She stirred up rebellion among the people still left in Ndongo, by then ruled by the Portuguese. Nzinga also formed an alliance with the Dutch against the Portuguese. However, their combined forces were not enough to drive the Portuguese out. After retreating to Matamba again, Nzinga started to focus on developing the kingdom as a trading power and the gateway to the Central African interior. At the time of Nzinga’s death in 1661 at the age of 81, Matamba had become a powerful kingdom that managed to resist Portuguese colonization attempts for an extended period of time. Her kingdom was only integrated into Angola in the late 19th century.

Nayabingi Priestess

Nyabingi Priestesses Muhumusa (died 1945) and Kaigirwa (unknown)

Muhumusa and Kaigirwa were feared leaders of the East African Nyabingi priestesses group that was influential in Rwanda and Uganda from 1850 to 1950. In 1911 Muhumusa proclaimed “she would drive out the Europeans” and “that the bullets of the Wazungu would turn to water against her.”

She organized armed resistance against German colonialists and was eventually detained by the British in Kampala, Uganda, from 1913 to her death in 1945. She became the first in a line of rebel priestesses fighting colonial domination in the name of Nyabingi, and even after being imprisoned she inspired a vast popular following. The British passed its 1912 Witchcraft Act in direct response to the political effectiveness of this spiritually based resistance movement.

In August 1917, the “Nyabinga” Kaigirwa followed in Muhumusa’s footsteps, and engineered the Nyakishenyi revolt, with unanimous public support. British officials placed a high price on her head, but no one would claim it. After the British attacked the Congo camp of Kaigirwa in January 1919, killing most of the men, Kaigirwa and the main body of fighters managed to evade the army and escape.

However, the British captured the sacred white sheep and burned it to dust before a convocation of leading chiefs. After this deed, a series of disasters afflicted the district commissioner who killed the sheep. His herds were wiped out, his roof caved in and a mysterious fire broke out in his house. Kaigirwa attempted another uprising, then went into the hills, where she was never captured.

Tarenorerer Aboriginal leader, known as WALYER
Tarenorerer (c.1800-1831)

Tarenorerer of Emu Bay in northern Tasmania was an indigenous Australian leader of the Tommeginne people. In her teens, she was abducted by Aborigines of the Port Sorell region and sold to white sealers on the Bass Strait Islands, where they called her Walyer.

She became proficient in speaking English and took particular notice of the use and operation of firearms. In 1828, Tarenorerer returned to her country in the north of Tasmania, where she gathered a group of men and women from many bands to initiate warfare against the invading Europeans. Training her warriors in the use of firearms, she ordered them to strike the luta tawin (white men) when they were at their most vulnerable, between the time that their guns were discharged and before they were able to reload.

She also instructed them to kill the Europeans’ sheep and bullocks. G. A. Robinson, who was charged with rounding up the Aborigines, was told by sealers that Tarenorerer would stand on a hill to organize the attack, abuse the settlers and dare them to come and be speared.

Who is putting Mr President under pressure?

I'm Under Pressure To Contest In 2015 ––Jonathan Declares

President Goodluck Jonathan finally broke his silence on Thursday on his rumoured second term ambition that could see him spend as much as 10 years in office as President of Nigeria. He said he is under pressure from over 1665 campaign groups who have volunteered to work for his re-election in 2015.

But the leadership of the leading opposition, the APC, has reacted to the alleged pressure on Jonathan to run in 2015, restating its determination to wrest political power from the PDP.

There will be a change of guard in 2015, the APC declared in Abuja. Besides, the APC said it is now putting all efforts to ensure that rigging of election is stopped at all cost.

The president’s presumed second term bid has been the thrust of the festering crisis in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Regardless, President Jonathan who spoke through his special adviser on political matters, Ali Ahmed Gulak said, even Nigerians abroad are “burning in unquenchable desire to return to the country and cast their votes for the ruling PDP come 2015”.

Speaking on Thursday in Abuja at a meeting of the Elders’ Advisory Council of the Goodluck Support Group (GSG), Gulak said: “Since our last meeting, we have received various support groups being coordinated by the GSG. We have, as of today, 1665. The last to visit was the Ochendo Solidarity Movement from Abia State.

"About 150 of them came to this office. We discussed. They have called on Mr. President to declare his intention. They said that they were not flattering. "There is no alternative to President Jonathan come 2015..."

Chairman of the Council of Elders of the GSG, Sen. Ibrahim Mantu, said many politicians in the country want to be identified with the good works of President.

Barely 48 hours after President Goodluck Jonathan engaged the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, in a marathon 13-hour closed door meeting, in a bid to end the union’s four-month old strike, hzm.com.ng gathered, yesterday, that officials of the Federal Ministry of Education have been directed to commence processes for the re-opening of federal universities.

Investigations revealed that governing councils and vice chancellors of the universities have been specifically directed, via direct communication from the National Universities Commission, NUC, to take immediate steps to ensure that their institutions are in the right position to receive students immediately the strike is called off.

Sources at the NUC said that the vice-chancellors were also directed to protect the interest of students and parents henceforth and ensure that no one takes advantage of the ugly situation.

Before the strike which commenced on July 1, almost all public universities were in their second semesters and had less than two months to conduct examinations. As the strike lingered, final year students in the universities had their hopes dashed for mobilization in the Batch C set of the compulsory National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, scheme.

According to officials of the NYSC, their counterparts in private universities have already resumed at their various camps last Tuesday. What this means is that, if eventually the strike is called-off, any time from now, public universities will have to re-adjust their 2012/2013 academic calendar to enable their final year students get mobilized for national service in the next batch, come February 2014.

Meanwhile, when contacted, Vice Chancellor one of the Federal Universities in the South-West, who craved anonymity, disclosed that his university is yet to receive any circular from the Ministry of Education on a specific date of resumption, but noted that the university is eager to resume as soon as possible.

He said: “I have not received any circular from the Ministry of Education on any specific date of resumption. When we get any, we will call back students to resume studies without delay, as we are eager to resume once the matter is resolved between ASUU and Federal Government.”

Asked what situation in the university has been like in the last four months, he said: “You can guess what has happened in the last four months. We have not functioned to 100 per cent capacity. Teaching and learning have been put on hold, but research and all other administrative functions have continued. Within the last four months, we have been sending and receiving proposal."

Crude Fund Tears Senate, Okonjo-Iweala Apart

There was mild drama of Monday during a meeting between representatives of the Federal Government and the Senate over the Excess Crude Fund.

The meeting was characterized by accusations and counter-accusations, as conflicting figures emerged on the balance in the Excess Crude Account.

While Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister for Finance claimed balance in the account is $4.3billion, Senator Ita Enang, a Committee Member, argued that records available to the committee prove that the total inflow into the account is $14.06bn while the total outflow from the account is $9bn, which amounts to a balance of $5.06 billion.


But Okonjo-Iweala declined to reveal the total accrual to the account during the Joint Senate Committee of Finance and Appropriation meeting on the 2013 budget and Federal Government revenue-generating agencies.

In the same vein, she did not object Enang’s claims, but simply maintained that the balance in the Escrow account is $4.3bn.

Enang further demanded to know details of the Escrow account; the amount paid into the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) and what the Escrow account is used for.

The fund goes in and comes out almost immediately. Excess Crude Account is a federation account matter. It belongs to all tiers of government. When we pay subsidy, it belongs to all tiers of government. So, the Federal Government, states and local governments are all partakers, Okonjo-Iweala defended.

SAMAILA MAGAJI EX-LOCAL GOVERMENT CHAIRMAN KILLED BY HIS HOMOSEXUAL PARTNER

Former chairman of Ingawa local government area of Katsina state, late Samaila Magaji, was murdered by his estranged homosexual partner, 17-year-old Abba Lawal, a native of Daura. This was confirmed by the Katsina State Police Command.

Addressing the press yesterday, the state commissioner of police Muhammad Hurdi said the suspect, Abba Lawal had confessed to the police he killed Magaji, whom he described as his “boyfriend”, and added that he killed Magaji, because he had made a lot of promises to him [Lawal] which he had failed to redeem.


Hurdi also revealed that the suspect confirmed to police that after he was dismissed from school, due to his indulgence in homosexuality, Magaji had promised to get him back to school but never did.


“We recovered knives and blood-stained clothes at the scene of the incident. Upon sighting the knife, the suspect fainted and after recovering, he made all these confessions,” Hurdi added.

Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, President Of Nigeria -
Aso Rock Villa -
Abuja, Nigeria -

Dear President Jonathan,

It is no secret that you are a Nigerian president by accident. When former president Olusegun Obasanjo single handedly picked you to be the vice president under Umaru Yar’Adua, nobody knew that he would eventually die in office. After his death on May 5, 2010, the Nigerian National Assembly confirmed you as the next president in spite of the objection of a majority of the northerners. You were sworn in office on May 6, 2010, to complete the four year term that ended in 2011. Then you contested the election in 2011, won it and are now serving another turbulent term that will end in 2015. During that election in 2011, we all know that the northerners killed lots of southerners, mostly Ibos, after you were declared the winner. The likes of Adamu Ciroma and his northern brothers threatened to make the country ungovernable for you.

It is very unfortunate that the northerners believe that the office of the president is their birth right. They believe that anyone else who is not a northerner or Muslim is not qualified to be president. This is their own concept of “One Nigeria.” They did not only make the threat, but carried it out by unleashing their secret army, Boko Haram, to make the country ungovernable for you. No president in the history of Nigeria has been given this kind of treatment. This is happening simply because they see you as coming from the wrong side of the country. Ironically, they are criticizing your administration as the worst, knowing full well that they are the ones who have created a hostile environment by making the country ungovernable. There is no president anywhere in the world that can accomplish much given the same hostile environment created by the northerners beginning on day one of your administration.

The northerners carried out their threat of making the country ungovernable for you. They have described you as weak and spineless. It is time you show the world that you are not weak and spineless. It is time you show the northerners that there will be no Nigeria for them to govern. It is time that you do for Nigeria what Mikhail Gorbachev did for the Soviet Union. I am not a spokesman for professor Ben Nwabueze, but this is exactly what he was trying to tell you when he told you to reform Nigeria and be a hero. Nigeria is not a single nation, but a variety of nations amalgamated in 1914 by Lord Lugard for British economic interests. This amalgamation will expire in 2014 and SHOULD NEVER BE RENEWED. British economic interests MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO OVERRIDE THE LIBERTY AND THE DESIRE OF THE VARIOUS NATIONALITIES THAT MAKE UP NIGERIA. They are all tired of this forced marriage and want to go their separate ways.

Please, President Jonathan, use this opportunity of the expiration of this amalgamation and show the world that you are not weak and spineless. This is the right time for you to join the exclusive club of brave men like Mikhail Gorbachev of the former Soviet Union. This is the right time for you to let go of Nigeria and allow the nationalities that were forced together for British economic interests to go their separate ways and become independent nations. It is now obvious to the whole world that this is the desire of the nationalities.

Boko Haram are fighting for the establishment of the Arewa Islamic Republic and they have the right of self determination as enshrined in the UN charter. As much as I hate the way they are going about it, by unleashing terror on innocent civilians, their Islamic republic is a certainty. The re-establishment of the Republic of Biafra is also unstoppable. The formation of the Oduduwa Republic is also coming. Some of these republics already have political structures all over the world and cannot be stopped by anyone. Please, do not go against the will of the people by trying to force them again to be one country just like Lord Lugard. Nigeria is already disintegrating, you just have to do the job that has been made easy for you by making it official and not allowing the renewal of the Amalgamation of 1914. Then there will be no doubt in anybody’s mind that you are not weak and spineless.

The truth is bitter and most people do not like hearing it, but I must tell you nothing but the truth. The Nigerian army cannot defeat Boko Haram. Nobody can defeat an ideology, and that is what Boko Haram represents. You can kill as many people as possible, but they will regroup and keep fighting until the Arewa Islamic republic is established. They have networks with other Islamic groups all over the world. It is the same reason the former Soviet Union was unable to defeat the Mujahideens of Afghanistan for almost ten years and had to pull out of the country. History is repeating itself in Afghanistan as the United States, the most powerful nation on earth, along with the allied coalition, have not succeeded in defeating the Taliban in Afghanistan. This is simply due to the fact that an ideology cannot be defeated.

The many sins of Nigeria have started to set in motion the forces that will cause its final disintegration. It is a country of lawlessness where anything goes.

Only in Nigeria will the blind not only lead those with clear, perfect vision, but also insist that he is the right person to lead them. It is also the same reason why all the oil wells are in the south and a morbid refinery in the north and none in the south. Can anyone explain to me why the northern region with no known resources, control more than 80% of the oil wells in the south while the south is left with 100% of the pollution and environmental degradation? It is only in Nigeria that elections are bought and not won. Traveling with a Nigerian passport to some parts of the world is like a death sentence. You will be humiliated, embarrassed and sometimes locked up in police cells. Thank God, I do not have any business carrying this death sentence called a Nigerian passport. However, I sincerely pity those innocent people carrying this death sentence called a Nigerian passport and have to be humiliated and ridiculed in most countries. Nigeria is synonymous with corruption and nepotism. Nigeria is a country where mediocrity is not only the norm but encouraged and rewarded.

In Nigeria, the only job available for university graduates is armed robbery/kidnapping. Is this a country or a jungle? Only in Nigeria will a politician get a headache and fly overseas for medical treatment while a poor citizen is left to die from chronic illness due to the lack of quality medical facilities. Nigeria is a country where the political class is not only the richest, but the only visible class. These corrupt politicians have mansions all over the world purchased with stolen money that belongs to the poor people of Nigeria. It is no wonder that many people are desperate to join the political class, even if they have to kill their opponent to get there. Only in Nigeria is a basic necessity like electricity considered a luxury. This explains why more people have died in this country as a result of toxic generator fumes than any where else in the world. Nigeria calls itself the giant of Africa, but the world knows Nigeria as the giant of corruption and mediocrity.

It is absurd to notice that the corrupt politicians in the country have started to fight each other in an attempt to position themselves for the so-called 2015 elections. Are these people out of their minds? Who told them that there will even be a Nigeria in 2015? Are they not aware that the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914 will expire in 2014? This amalgamation document that created Nigeria was for one hundred (100) years only. Legally, this means that Nigeria WILL CEASE TO EXIST AFTER 2014. Anywhere in the world if a document is expired it is expired forever unless it is renewed. In my part of the world, if your driver’s license expires and you are caught driving with it, you will face a criminal charge for violating the law. If one can face a criminal charge for driving with an expired license, then explain to me why Nigeria will continue to exist with an expired document. It will be absolutely fraudulent after 2014 for anyone to continue to deceive people that Nigeria still exists. The truth is not only bitter, but sometimes overwhelming. No matter how you look at it, the truth never changes and must be accepted. I am not known to tell people what they want to hear, but what they need to hear. The truth can be bitter and overwhelming if you are used to lies that are camouflaged as truth.

I am not a prophet, but I foresee lots of bloodshed if anyone or any group of people manage to deceive the public that Nigeria still exists after 2014 and heading into 2015. The bloodshed will be so much that it may consume those trying to foist the expired “One Nigeria” on the people. If some of them manage to escape this bloodshed, they will face insurmountable legal battles from the nationalities. The disintegration of Nigeria has started and nobody can stop it. Again, the only thing you, President Jonathan, have to do is to make it official and not allow the Nigerian amalgamation of 1914 to be renewed and become the Mikhail Gorbachev of Nigeria. This will redeem your image as weak and spineless. Then the whole world will see you as a hero and welcome you into the elite club of brave men and women that have changed history for the better. May God bless the emerging republics of Biafra, Oduduwa and Arewa.

Sincerely,

Dr. Moses Nwaigwe

ambrosini593: Is Ijagba part of Ondo or Edo? Somebody should help

Ijagba is part of Ondo state.

Good to see Prexios and Alagba D. Negro back together without threat or fight.We are one big family from the same ancestor,we may disagree with one another without resulting to insult and name calling.Am proud of you guys.You are truly mature.
I would like to sensitize your attention to central and south eastern Yoruba dialects in this quest of finding when and where Yoruba were before they got here because it has been proven that the groups are older settlers and the dialects more closer to the ancient kemet and hebrew.

I am from Dumaria(Olodumare's Area/Territory - Yorubaland)
I'm Yoruba.

@Texas.Cowgirl You are but for some mispellings here and and there.It reads Aiku,Aje ,Isegun,Ojoru,Ojobo,Eti, Abameta. Thanks.

@Texas.Cowgirl Well.You tried but the question does not say all the days of the week therefore the first day of the week in Yoruba language is Aiku which is Sunday in English Lang (Ede Geesi).

Yoruba - Ojo Aiku
