dobokiy: Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Tuesday visited Port-Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
In a video obtained by DAILY POST, Kanu was hailed in Igbo language by his admirers.
Some called him ‘Igwee’ (King), while some referred to him as ‘Ebubedike’.
Kanu is seen acknowledging the crowd’s cheer, while he was ushered into a waiting vehicle.
The IPOB leader waved as the vehicle moved on, even as the crowd continued to shout his praises.
His mission to the oil-rich state is not yet known.
Meanwhile, IPOB has hinted that it will ride on the wings of the United Nations, UN, charters which allows group seeking secession to exploit civil disobedience in achieving its mandate of Biafra.
IPOB said this in response to some Northern elders like Tanko Yakassai, who alleged that the group was calling for another civil war by insisting on the restoration of Biafra.
Mtchww!!! welcome ko, welgo ni! delusional people. make e contest now una go see how dem go abandon am as dem abandon Ojukwu in time of need ...stupid Okorocha go still win am for election if dem put the two side by side. Brain dead people.
philpwresh: The Chairman of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote has reacted to the quit notice issued to Igbos by a coalition of northern youths.
The Arewa groups had asked South-easterners living in the north to vacate before October 1.
Giving his position on the issue which has drawn condemnation from many groups and individuals, the billionaire said joblessness was the reason for the ultimatum.
Dangote said this when a team of business executives from Lagos Business School (LBS), visited his multi-billion dollars refinery and petrochemical projects in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.
“Some guys who have no relevance and values came out to issue a warning that Igbo should leave the North.
‘I am surprised everybody started talking about this nonsense. Why are we talking about it?
“Obviously, in a place where there is a lot of joblessness, it is expected that this kind of jobless people would come out with all sorts of anger.
“We understand the reasons why they are angry, but they cannot justify their action when they have decided not to work.
“They only issue senseless warning to keep themselves relevant,” Nation quoted him.
Africa’s richest man assured that his refinery project, when completed, would create thousands of direct jobs for the youths and millions of indirect jobs in the value chain.
AlienRobot: Seriously speaking and without missing words, I think Nwankwo Kanu is more popular than this kanu they keep ranting about
henhen ....let him contest for governor of his state to test his popularity and see how your lots will dump him like they did to Ojukwu ...I am sure Ojukwu wherever he is will be regreting being an Igbo man.
It is the height of ignorance and deliberate mischief to accuse the minister of Education or the presidency of adjusting or changing the school corricum is Nigeria. Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) is responsible for for such exercise. Neither the presidency nor the minister of Education can single handedly review the school Curriculum in Nigeria.
Having said this,I want to categorically state that neither CRK or IRS was removed from the School Curriculum but are now merged under one subject listing which is Religious and National Values (RNV). This is intended to be in tandem with international models. CRS and IRS are standing as distinct courses, but merged under one subject listing.That integration also embodies subjects such as Civic Education, Social Studies and Security Education. This development should be applauded with the rising case of radicalization and insecurity.
In view of this clarification made above, contrary to the lies being peddled by war mongers, trouble makers, corrupt haunted elements, partisan 'pastors", and even a christian body like CAN which is now seen as a political wing of the dying main opposition party by many, this revision was made between 2012-2014.
In conclusion, it is pure wickedness and deliberate facts twisting to accuse both the Federal government and Minister of Education of an Islamic agenda.

IamaNigerianGuy: This is not a miracle. It is a phenomenon well documented in the medical literature. It has happened before and will happen again.
The patient was mistakenly diagnosed as deceased after what was probably a cardiac arrest. He in all likelihood had spontaneous resumption of cardiac and circulatory activity. The technical term is ROSC "A patient is not dead until he is warm and dead" is what you are taught in emergency medicine courses because cold preserves the vital organs and can allow recovery later.
In 19th century Europe and America , there were so many cases of people mistakenly thought dead who woke up, that a practice was established of keeping the 'corpse' in a room for 24 to 48 hours with a bell beside him/her. Friends and relatives would gather expectantly waiting with hope. If he awoke he was supposed to ring the bell. That is the origin of the term 'wake keeping'
What of the part where there was no longer holes in his heart as earlier diagnosed? was the cardiac arrest responsible for that too? or was that ROSC too?
TheAngry1: oponu omo ashawo. At least we declare a holiday in memory of our lost hero. I don't recall Igbos declaring Ojukwu day for that spineless Arrow who disguised as a woman and left 2 million of his people dead. Awon omo ale.
The same Ojukwu that ran away or the same Ojukwu that contested and only his wife and children voted for him...those people are terrible!
ivolt: You fail to ask yourself the most important question which is: who is a gospel singer ? Many of you make this mistake and argue blindly without a firm position. Does being promiscuos disqualify someone of being a gospel singer ?
safarigirl: the only reason you love Rara is because of the 'message' behind it. You are one of those Nigerians who think you can't like a song without a perceived 'message'.
I know una type.
Probably not a music fan on a normal day sha cuz anyone who is knows that there is more to music than words and lyrics. That sound is a vital part of music. Music is not words and lyrics like you say, music is sound
The only truthful leader Nigeria has ever produced. As bad as his intentions were, he made them known and pronounced, he didn't lie like our other leaders do and deceive us. Though, he was a bold and bad omen!
Who told you most Nigerian men have body odour in the first place? what about all those ladies with their bleaching and foundation upandan. OP, get sense jor
Built2last: These are the train stations built in Kenya, they don't have as much money as Nigeria but they know what is obtainable abroad where the leaders go often. Our own leaders should learn to build modern day facilities they see out there and stop replicating what they used to have out there, in the 80s.
This is the kind of development we want and stop singing your praises when you build outdated facilities for Nigerians. The Future is on!
What should we do to all our past leaders. Simple electricity they can't provide
Nigeria is cursed, our leaders are evil. even the citizens are not left out in this decadence. If you give them money to build something close to this, they will overbloat it and then embezzle the fund. Evil people.....ẹ ní kú sí ibi to da, ayé yin máa bájẹ́ ni.
seniorkachion: No doubt about it. But he failed the longevity test. His glorious years lasted barely 3 years, 2005-2007. He played in the 1999 under 20 WC in Nigeria and announced his appearance on world stage at 2002 WC in Korea -Japan. But until 2005 he was under the shadow of the Brazilian Ronaldo and Rivaldo. His high point was leading Barça to the 2006 UCL. At the 2006 WC he was expected to lead a stellar Brazilian squard to win the WC but not only did Brazil crash out Ronaldinho was unconvincing. By the time Chelsea knocked out Barça at the 2nd round of the 2007 UCL his imperious days was over shortly afterwards.
What longitivity test are you talking about? didn't you watch his magic at PSG before joining Barcelona? didn't you watch his spectacular free kick goal against England at the world cup 2002? Let me remind you that Brazil went on to win that world cup curtsey Ronaldinho's contribution, something neither Ronaldo nor Messi have achieved. He may not have stayed long like the 2 of them but, certainly in a spectacular class of his own. This guy showed the world how easy and enjoyable football can be to Yves extent that people named anything magical after him.....Babadinho, I hail you!
How can you put him in the same category as Ronaldo or even Messi? He's in a class of his own. He may not score as many goals as the two of them but whenever he wanted to score, it was always a magic and beauty to behold. That guy is football made easy!
