Nigerians can just be hypocritical!

No single condemnation of such act so far from a Christian. You can imagine the man allegedly saying that it's because of his religion that he hasn't made headway! So sickening as if there are no poor Christians
Such a religious bigot.

However if reverse happens to be the case they may likely "say no wonder the building collapsed" "The Lord is fighting for the Christians" and a whole lot of irritating things

madridguy:
Brother ADEBOWALE SIKIRU this is not necessary. You can't say no single Muslim have worked or make any supply in the building.
Let us join our voice to pray for the victims and their families.

ISLAM stand for peace, unity and love.

I beg to disagree though
This actually shows the level of intolerance/hatred that people can exhibit to Muslims.

Why do we like to deny the obvious
This is something that happens even between Christians of different denomination

So Arapaja will eventually become the National chairman of PDP?


Ntoor!

Arapaja the incoming chairman

Ọmọ countries don go

Since Last year Makinde has been making the moves....he wanted Abuja Apc guys to give him soft landing but the Oyo based Apc guys got wind of his plan and thwarted it......it known all over ibadan and oyo political circuit

Makindes joining Apc will be a big mistake but that is also what could guarantee a second term for him... but if that happens expect a zamfara situation where the party that lost election will rule because of internal wrangling in the party that won elections......or a scenario where he will not be given the party ticket even after defecting to Apc

That was when the party structure was not fully at his grip
But at present he has the party structure in South West

Why the Long epistle?

If The Taliban Would Listen

By Adejare Ibrahim

The victory of Taliban is Afghanistan came with mixed feelings. Nevertheless, the Taliban should come to terms with the practicalities of Islam, as preached by Prophet Muhammad.

Islam starts and ends with knowledge. It is a religion that greatly emphasises the indispensability of practical knowledge in the life of man. There is no Islam without knowledge and understanding.

The first verse that was revealed to the Prophet, while in seclusion in the Cave of Hiraa, by Angel Gabriel dwells abundantly on knowledge. "Iqra' bismi Robbik (read, in the Name of your Lord)", Jibril commanded him. It is a stern warning against practising religion in abject ignorance.

This knowledge is all-encompassing and all-inclusive. The knowledge which Islam reiterates has no limits or boundary: it is both temporal and spiritual; it is also terrestrial and celestial. Sayyid Qutb says, "read, as much as you can comprehend".

Dear readers, the Islam, which the Prophet bequeathed to us, is in consonance with the fundamental tenets of science and technology. Islam strikes a communion and balance between pristine values and innovative contemporariness. Thus, we await the golden period the Afghan government will launch its own satellite into the space.

Islam accords great respect to the female folks. It gives them freedom of choice without coercion. Islam elevates women from a mere object of amusement or sexual pleasure to an enviable status of active participants or collaborators in social reforms and edification.

Hijab (purdah) is an integral part of women dress in Islam. Though its usage is not the sublime goal of Islam. Hijab is just a means to an end, which bestows on them honour and dignity. Afghan women, in their hijab, need to go to school and become medical doctors, engineer, lawyers, scientists, teachers, journalists, broadcasters and other professional engagements.

There is no compulsion in religion. The new leadership of Afghanistan should accord religious freedom and respect to people of other religions. Christians and Jews should be tolerated, as practised by the Prophet of Islam. The Prophet lived peacefully with Christians and Jews in the City of Madinah.

The Afghan government should take proactive and decisive steps in 'deradicalising' the youths of Afghanistan. Gun-running and proliferation of weapons and drugs should be curbed. Afghanistan is a major supplier of opium. Therefore, opium cultivation and exportation should be strictly banned. Regardless of its economic implications, opium should be outlawed.

Our deen emphasises leniency in all human endeavours. The Taliban should ensure subtleness in her dealings with her citizens and other foreign nationals. Afghanistan should foster multilateral relations with member-state in the United Nations General Assembly. In the same vein, Afghanistan should align herself with her neighbours, especially those in the Northwest Asia. They should not live or operate in isolation.

The Taliban should learn from their past mistakes and chat a new course of development for the entire citizenry of Afghanistan. These will make them acceptable to the world and accord them the needed global legitimacy.

hedonido:
Soludo has access to the state's purse via Obiano, while the other guy has access to Zenith Bank's purse via his sister Adaora. This one na battle of the gods and it can go either way.... 50/50.

Don't even compare a state to a Bank!
Bank ke!
We are talking of the treasury of a whole state here. They can even use the state to borrow money
How much can they spend from the bank.will they liquidate the bank because of election?

seunmsg:
I just hope this back and forth between Oye and Okeke faction won’t negatively affect the campaign of Soludo. They should come together and reach some compromise in the interest of the party. Umeoji can not win the election without the backing of Obiano and Oye. He should stop playing the spoiler and allow Soludo concentrate on his campaign.

It'll surely do. None of them can sleep with the two eyes closed
Infact they'll focus more on the judgement than campaign

Obiano is leaving no stone unturned.
It's hard to fight a man that has access to the state purse.

I don't think supreme Court will say otherwise.

Nice one though

11th June, 2021
PRESS RELEASE:

IGANGAN : MURIC CONDEMNS ALL KILLINGS

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC), an Islamic human rights organisation, has condemned the spate of killings in the country, including the most recent one in Igangan, Ibarapa Local Government Area of Oyo State. The group also called on Nigerians to stop the vicious cycle of killings and kidnappings.

The director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, made this known in a press release issued on Friday, 11th June, 2021.

The statement reads:

“We are horrified by the spate of killings in all parts of Nigeria. Just as we condemn the most recent one in Igangan, Ibarapa Local Government Area of Oyo State which occurred on Sunday, 6th June, 2021, we equally denounce the killing which preceded it in the same Igangan a few months ago. Not only that, we decry all other killings and kidnappings around the country. We reject all forms of violence.

“As a national organisation with members spread across all parts of the country, MURIC must objectively look at the broad spectrum of killings and condemn all. We cannot treat one act of criminality in isolation and ignore others as if those killed in those areas are not human beings. That will be selective, parochial and myopic. We therefore berate all killings. We decry all forms of violence. That is why our motto is ‘Dialogue, Not Violence’.

“In particular, we strongly condemn the killing of policemen and soldiers in some parts of the country. Those who target security agents for killing can never succeed in enthroning orderly civilisation. They are simply opening the doors for criminalities of all ramifications and installing a reign of terror.

“Every Nigerian life is precious to us in MURIC. We hurt and grieve when people of Eastern Nigeria are killed. We feel the pain when those of the South West lose their lives to violence. Our hearts bleed when people of the Middle Belt get hurt and we mourn when Northerners are killed. It does not matter to us whether those who died are Christians or Muslims. Life is sacred. It is precious. Every human being deserves to live in peace and dignity.

“We call attention to the national spread and ‘federal character’ of the violence that has engulfed Nigeria in recent time. There is ample evidence that it is not limited to any particular region, state or tribe. It has been all-embracing. Just as bandits and cattle rustlers pound us in the North, gunmen ravage our land in the South East and South West.

“This phenomenon was predicted in the Glorious Qur’an 30:41 when the sacred book says, ‘Mischief has appeared on both land and sea as a result of the handiworks of men’.

“What we are saying in essence is that the killings are not limited to the recent one in Igangan. Bandits are killing hundreds in Zamfara, Kaduna, Sokoto, etc. For example, just yesterday, 10th June, 2021, Governor El-Rufai of Kaduna State expressed the fear that there may be famine in the state very soon as a result of the criminal activities of herdsmen which has forced farmers to abandon the farms.

“It is therefore misleading to jump to the conclusion that one region is out to eliminate or dominate any particular region. That is why we must eschew the insurrectionist agenda springing up in the South East and South West. We must all come together to fight the violent elements invading our communities.

“The way forward lies in the hands of the state governors as the hands of the Federal Government are full fighting Boko Haram insurgents. It is an open secret that governors receive huge amounts of money monthly as security vote. They should spend this money on securing their territories by establishing and empowering local security outfits.

“It is in this regard that we commend those governors who have instituted one form of local vigilante group or another. However, the governors should followup this establishment with empowerment. It is not enough to recruit just five hundred securitymen for a whole state. Cities are conquered by numbers. Therefore, the governors should recruit thousands of Amotekun, EbebuAgu, Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) and others and arm them to the teeth in order to enable them tackle all criminals. Criminal herdsmen and bandits must be dealt with according to the law in Kaduna, Ondo, Sokoto, Enugu, Ekiti, etc.

“Above all, we must realise that no amount of preparation to defend our territories can be as effective as consciously working for peace and seeking harmony. Nigerians must change their mindset. Our problem is perception. Every tribe suspects the other. Every region nurses grudges against the other. The myth of the North-South dichotomy has congealed into such a thick reality that one can cut it with a knife.

“We therefore appeal to all to embrace the current peace efforts of elder statesmen. Nigerians of all ethnicities must stop looking for revenge. Vengeance is nothing but a launching pad for a vicious cycle. Those who revenge murder sleep. They shall sleep no more. This is because revenge is a cold dish that compels the victims to warm its contents. Vengeance is a square peg in a round hole. What you seek is not exactly what you get. Besides, you only know your own heroes and fighters whereas every tribe has its own campions and heroes. Killings can only beget killings.

“This is why the Glorious Qur’an advocates the repelling of evil with righteousness. ‘Goodness and evil are incomparable. Pay evil with goodness and see how your erstwhile enemy transforms to an intimate friend’ (Qur’an 41:34). Allah is called the Mighty, the Avenger (‘aziizun dhul intiqaam, Qur’an 3:4). In the same vein, the Bible teaches forgiveness, ‘Forgive, that you may be forgiven. For if you do not forgive, neither will your Father, which is in heaven’ (Mathew 6:14). There will be enduring peace if both Christians and Muslims follow these teachings instead of seeking a pound of flesh from one another.

“Now a look at the highlights of our advocacy: MURIC condemns the killing of one another by Nigerians, particularly the two separate killing sessions in Igangan and the killing of policemen. Life is sacred. The killings are happening everywhere: North and South. They have a national spread and they are not targeted at any particular group or tribe. State governors must establish security outfits while existing ones like Amotekun, EbebuAgu and JTF must be armed to the teeth. Nigerians must stop seeking vengeance against one another otherwise the vicious cycle of violence will not stop.

*Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe and Northern Alliance*

When Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria -

- Chief of Army Staff was from SE
- Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
- IG of Police was from SE
- Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
- Internal Affairs Minister from SE
External Affairs
Minister SE
- Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministerial positions to the SE
- Parliament President SE
- Unilag VC from SE
- The University of Ibadan VC from SE
*BUT, North resisted same at ABU!*

Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE. The officers from the SE region killed this same Balewa !!!!

Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria:
SE has 37, none was killed.
8 from the north, all of them were killed.
10 from the west, 2 were killed.

Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!

_We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth._ This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth..... at times when lies litter the streets, there is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.

_The following are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity !_

*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from the regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the Head of State then.* Today, he is shouting restructuring that which he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”.

WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF THEIR WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY:

The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa-fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgment were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation. The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the average Igbo man is fond of narrating.

However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.

Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.

To that end, *Ahmadu Bello* speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 *described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914* which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
*Awolowo* speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, *described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation* Awolowo added *that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy* - freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.

*But Nnamdi Azikiwe* speaking for the Igbos, *denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions* He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further *that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable*

After moving the Motion for independence in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe

Before independece, *Tafawa Balewa too* had in a public speech *described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in* But *Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too* _Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned._

It should be noted that there were many Igbo Members of the Parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.

Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university graduate is the Binis). As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are some quotes:

_"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Zik (1945)._

_"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma (1949).

Anascopeterson:
As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the Southern Protectorate. Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in Nigeria. With that situation, the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand in any democratic bargain.

But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these areas should fall in the future Eastern Region. But against common sense, the colonial masters decided to gerrymander them into the Northern Region. While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by landmass.

While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo in his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist. A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy chasing rats in a far away land.
When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that frustrated the attempts. Here is how:

In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address. But when the D-day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard. Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government. However, the British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for treasonable felony. Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance.

On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.

Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint". After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC and moved over to Awolowo's Action Group.

*The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo army officers* _That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years._

Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day. In addition to the killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every region except their Eastern Region.

In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heroes. This was actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. *On the 23rd of February 1966* (i.e. a month and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup) an Ijaw born Army officer called *Isaac Adaka Boro* who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, *declared the secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people* from the monumental marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region.
But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to the military high command under him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal.

Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his previous rank.

*Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria* and without consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, *drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic* for which he fought against him and killed his soldiers. Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession declaration 15 months earlier.
Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of Biafra. But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But *from the facts above, who really betrayed the other in all honesty?* _Be the judge._

*Why Gowon Fought Against Ojukwu's Declaration of Biafra:*

After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging. Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So *when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession, he was reminded of the Anti-secession Decree* made by him and his brother Ironsi.

*Deadly Truth:*
Igbos frequently reference *Aburi Accord* to create the impression that the rest of Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.

First and foremost, *Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle.* Secondly, those *civil servants and military men* in attendance *were not elected by their Federal Constituencies* to the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy, the only universally acceptable way of making laws is through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi, the peoples' representatives duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process. *Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the people?* Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. *Aburi Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty* hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have been allowed to stand.

Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the *Independence Constitutional Conference* Those representatives all resolved and agreed on *Federalism* marked by *regional autonomy and resource control* in the Independence Constitution which they brought back home and everyone accepted it.

In that constitution, *Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power* It was also clearly stated in it that amendments to it could be done by only democratically elected representatives.

That constitution was the 1st ever agreement between all Nigerians. On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence Constitution regardless of the circumstances that may later arise. But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees and ended up dismantling the *Federalism and Resource Control* therein and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. *That was the height of irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement* That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements.
So, Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence Constitution Agreement.

*Anasco Peterson:* _Obasanjo removed history from the school curriculum hence the reason why many of what we know of the eventualities in Biafra war were altered to suite their narratives._

And where in my comment did I say Israel are Christians? I'm unrepentantly against terrorism. I detest them. Police kill IPOB tellolists, I cheer police. Israel kill Muslim terrorists in Gaza, I cheer Israel. Anything to reduce, if possible, put an end to terrorism, is welcome by me.
Thanks!!!

So Palestinians are the ones terrorizing Israel? Even when Israeli force could be dispersing people with guns from the Aqsa Mosque even during Ramadhan?
Now I understand your definition of terrorism
