Col Joe Achuzie was to Biafran military what the Desert Fox; Erwin Rommel was to German WW 2 military juggernaut! All the WW2 allies respect him as such and promptly named him Desert Fox!

Now, Col Joe Achuzie was erroneously thought to be the one to have led the onslaught against 2nd div NA back then...due to the fact that such bravery and strategy must have come from his Battalion.

The British were mad to the point that they mandated Gowon never to allow Murtala lead any operational command, for letting a tiny group of guerillas wipe out 5000+ strong Task force.

Till date, the highest any general has caused! . If it was in Germany, Japan or elsewhere he ought to be fallen on his sword, or shoot himself!

tishbite42:
You're a big fool.
On paper, Joseph Achuzia never attended any conventional military school but he's a true soldier in any sense of the word.
Go and check the British intelligence and military archives.
He was part of the soldiers who partook in the guerilla warfare in British Palestine (British Mandate). He used a pseudonym.
It was that experience that helped him to raise a civilian militia in Port-Harcourt that fought against the Nigerian forces.
The success of that group was visible even to the blind that he had to be drafted to the Biafran Army. The rest, they say, is history.
After the war, he was very useful to the likes of IBB, Abacha, Obasanjo, Yar'Adua and Jonathan because he was a military adviser to the ECOMOG and Boko Haram military contingencies.
Keep fooling yourselves.

HAhahahahaa......

How to know a really shameless, utterly useless miscreants, they don't brag with their own because they gat non, but would try to belittle the efforts made by another! They are as useless as they are shameless

If he was fake he would not have been give the Gordon Bell prize

No be who don fit chop belleful dey buy book? Lol...

Ndi buy two books at Amazon! .

I'd prefer folks who eat well than those who buy weeds... so i'd advise you use it judiciously. Set na $9 per month? At least buy food, rather weeds.

DomPerignon:
you don turn Grammar Nazi now ?

And why should I buy that crap ?

I ain't reading no book written by a Congo Jew .

"I will" future tense. I was expecting "I have".......

If the price isn't much of a challenge to you, shame poverty for once buy that book read! As a personal support to African writers, I do sometimes buy books online and share to people. If you cant buy the book, derop shame, talk make I add you for the next batch to buy for biko!

DomPerignon:
Thanks

I will buy the hardcover .

I am in need of a door stopper and something to balance my rickety desk.

I will be ordering two copies at the amazing offer of 0.25 cents for 2 copies as quoted on Amazon .

It's actually "Von" with one "n". This is one of the reasons...attending classes at school is really important, rather than belonging to cult groups.

Anyway...its your problem to deal with, not mine!

DomPerignon:
The Vonn Braun of Africa .

Jesus , you guys no go kill person with laugh.

Personally I am not disappointed by miscreants.... Now, I am a reasonable man with modest expectations in life. The least I expected was perhaps been shown how Nigeria has progressed since 1970.... how the Profs have not turned into election riggers. How politics and religion have not become the sector with highest RoI, that is before terrorism join...

But here is the catchy... as recently as within 6 years back...
Nigeria still needs Arabs and foreigners to build substandard roads and airport that is already failing without war conditions. Go check the stuff out dear honorable minister of work did in Ebonyi...omo the roofs are already falling apart.... The Biafra of 1967 - 1970 will never accept those shady jobs!

Imagine how Gen Murtala lost a full Division of men...like 5000+, he wasn't court-martial and stripped off his ranks and perhaps jailed..he was rewarded with tacit coup support...
Good luck to Nigeria. The demons doing her is indeed legion!

AS recently as just 1+ years, Nigerian Profs are getting recognized as the dumbest in the word. How? They rig illiterates into power, who in turn make far reaching policies that impoverish, and then as if cursed by sango, they start a strike....call off..start again!

Their mumu never do? Even with all these ...one yeye Prof go still try to rig election in 2027...just watch!

Nothing would a generation like someone taking up a real job, fending for himself, marrying and raising family....even sango approves of this. If this be the case personal growth will be a welcome development to which end i'd say buying that book written by a celebrated Physicist would do wonders...

Good luck!

DomPerignon:
Thanks

I will buy the hardcover .

I am in need of a door stopper and something to balance my rickety desk.

Had It been you are not one jobless "mama where my food" I would recommended you to Amazon to buy his book. But poor boy like you...no need!

What has your jobless former IED fabricator done since the end of the civil war ?

Felix N. C. ORAGWU is a Nuclear Physicist, educated at Christ the King College (CKC) Onitsha, Nigeria, the Universities of Glasgow in Scotland, School of Graduate Studies, Physics Department (Research), University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and Physics Department (Research), University of Manchester, in England respectively.

He began his teaching career as University Lecturer in Physics, at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), in 1960s before the Nigerian Civil War of 1967-1970. During the Civil War he served as the Head Research Planning / Coordinator Technological Services of the Science and Technology (S&T / RAP) Group that operated the technological aspects of the Industrial War Machine in Biafra from1967 / 1970.

After the War, he resumed lecturing and research in Physics at UNN before being invited by the Nigerian Federal Government to serve for two years in the first instance before returning to UNN as Pioneer Principal Scientific Secretary / Chief Scientist to the newly created Nigerian Council for Science and Technology (NCST) located at the seat of the Federal Government in Lagos from 1972-1976.

In 1977 he was appointed Pioneer Director, Industrial Research and Technology and subsequently Pioneer Director, Science and Technology Planning and Development to the newly created National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA).

He later served as first Director, Science and Technology Policy, Planning and Development of the newly created (Nigeria’s) Federal Ministry of Science and Technology (FMST) in Lagos from 1980-1987.

In 1975 he undertook a Senior Executive Course on Science Policy Planning at the Institute of Development Studies, Science Policy Research Unit, University of Sussex Brighton, England, and in 1982 he undertook another Senior Executive Course in Technology Development Panning at the USSR Academy of Sciences in Moscow.

During the period 1976-1987, he played a key role in thought and action that led to the establishment of the following Research and Technology Development institutions in the Federal Public Service and Nigeria’s economy, namely: as Projects Development Institute (PRODA) Enugu of ECS under the Federal Government, the Federal Science Equipment Manufacturing Center (later renamed Science Equipment Development Institute (SEDIE) in Enugu, the National Office of Industrial Property (NOIP) later renamed National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP) and the Raw Materials Research and Development Council (RMRDC). All these institutions were meant to enable Nigeria build and develop domestic endogenous capability and or capacity to produce and manufacture modern technologies and globally competitive industrial goods (capital, consumer items and industrial materials) in Nigeria’s economy. He also initiated for the first time in Nigeria an Annual Scientific Research Grant Budget to support capability building for teaching and research in S&T disciplines in Nigerian Universities, drew up the functional structure of the newly created Federal Ministry of Science and Technology (FMST) in 1980 and saw that all industrial research related institutions have engineering design and fabrications divisions at the workshop floor of their operations. For these contributions to Nigeria’s development he was advanced from the post of Director in 1986 and elevated to the Salary Grade Status of Federal Permanent Secretaries and or Director- Generals on “Personal Merit” in 1986.

On retirement from the Federal Public Service he has served, at one time or the other, as Technology Development Consultant to United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), Addis Ababa, UNDP, UNIDO, Vienna, and Common Wealth Science Council CSC) in London, respectively. In 1987 he served as Chairman of the 9th Session of United Nations Intergovernmental Committee (ie Committee of the Whole UN) in New York dealing with Science and Technology Development for developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America respectively and earlier had served as Member of the Governing Councils of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri in 1982, Federal University of Technology, Makurdi in 1982 and Federal University of Technology, Abeokuta in 1983, respectively.

He is now a Technology Development Consultant, and author resident in Nigeria.

What has your jobless former IED fabricator done since the end of the civil war ?

You have oil on your head.... I have since stopped replying those pigs.... . Na look I dey look. Once they carry their madness show up, na to do as if I dey go buy white powder from Asiwaju...lol

Walai:
This days I have no problem with the online miscreants but people that feed them with attention which is the oxygen they need to continue surviving. Let's all agree to ignore their comments while bringing up superior arguments and see them fade out naturally.

From what i read, Prof Obumneme Nzekwe was more into the refinery section of RAP...he wasn't much tasked with the armament unit of RAP. Prof Oragwu was more like what Werner von Braun was to NASA...making of the projectile (Ogbunigwe).

Prof Obumneme built the local Fractionating units used in separating the crudes into component units....and later the non-catlytic refining of palm oil into a sustainable fuel. He was an elite member of RAP though.

mightyhaze:
I thought Prof Gordian Nzekwe made the Ogbunigwe

HAhahaha..... Imagine!!!! Na waooo for these kind people with this kind of primitive mindset!

mrvitalis:
U know the funny thing? This hatred disappear when they need service of an Igbo professionals

Bros the amount Igbo doctors, nurses, Pharmacist would shock you

My elder brother was a CMD of a general Hospital in Jigawa... They loved him for his service

But if he runs for president he would loss that LGA 99%

I tell you..... but I still cant understand how people will avoid progress because of hatred...

Like I know through you I will grow, buty because of a deep rooted hatred I will not use your assistance...mehnnnn black people shaaa!

mrvitalis:
U don't understand... If Nigerians are 100% that a certain Igbo man would turn nigeria to Dubai without him we would remain like this

There are millions 10s of millions that would prefer to stay like this

The hatred is deep rooted and they are not even improving themselves

See if not for Igbo lobbyists in USA and England eeh especially USA... It would have been difficult... The Igbo lobbyists yo USA senators is what's keeping Igbo land sane

A lot of Gen Z actually thought it was all propangada. here he is talking it as is!

Not a good idea teaching his innovations to a Nigeria as is!

They will use it on civilains!

santopelele:
A true biafran can never waste his time and resources trying to save dead nigeria. You expects him to teach hausa and yoruba how to build bomb? Mbanu, things are not done that way. He is a biafra legend and will die as a biafran

Jobless....I believe the rot is really showing up in your comments. that crude, primitive acquisition of material things to show he was rich!

naaa...real scientist are not rock stars or Nigerian politicians that have all the parnephalias and trapping of wealth. They are modest, and had none the trappings of wealth because they don't need it. That way, you have no leverage against them, except pricked by their conscience and a desire to help humanity!

Looks like long years adoring crooks will certainly have its toll, you just proved it!

He drives no Bentley or have private jets... I guess that was what you were watching out for! Look towards Oluomo and the drug bagman...you will see what you wish!

DomPerignon:
If he was such a brilliant scientist that you said he was, why has he remained jobless and not invented anything since his days of fabricating IEDs ?

This is Wernher von Braun German aerospace engineer. Born: March 23, 1912, Wyrzysk, Poland. Died: June 16, 1977 (age 65 years), Alexandria, Virginia, United States. He built the Nazi V1 & V2 aka vengeance guided rockets that terrorized London during ww2. It was indeed the first of its kind...sending projectiles from Germany, or launch bases in Norway straight to London! But after the war, the Americans took him to USA, and he helped them build what you now know as NASA

Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun was a German-American aerospace engineer and space architect. He was a member of the Nazi Party and Allgemeine SS, the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany, and later a pioneer of rocket and space technology in the United States.

As a young man, von Braun worked in Nazi Germany's rocket development program. He helped design and co-developed the V-2 rocket at Peenemünde (Norway) during World War II. The V-2 became the first artificial object to travel into space on 20 June 1944. Following the war, he was secretly moved to the United States, along with about 1,600 other German scientists, engineers, and technicians, as part of Operation Paperclip. He worked for the United States Army on an intermediate-range ballistic missile program, and he developed the rockets that launched the United States' first space satellite Explorer 1.

Now, you see how whites think? They were busy hanging the military nazis, while poaching the nazi scientists to help them build their own Rockt science. Even by western standards, what Prof Felix and his team developed were astounding......yet our genuienely black heart leaders allowed the talents to go waste!

Tufiakwaaaa. black men!

For FREE!!! At mere asking! or even forceful command!

PHIPEX:
Legends. Nigeria is a perfect and global biggest example of why Nations fail.

Imagine burying the enormous talents of your citizens you could have gotten for free because you dont like who produced them, then you and your generations continue to buy from strangers thousands of miles away for decades?

No be today these leaders begin dey mumu! Imagine if they have sense...they could have made this ma build more designs and Blueprints!

mrvitalis:
UNN was originally banned from offering Chemical engineering for 50 years because of this man lmaoo

For their mind they banned chemical engineering lmaoo😂😂 let me not say more than that

I served in Kogi state... till I leave the shores of Nigeria, I continue to curse the leaders of Nigeria...

If you see what Soviet union built there....and former East Germany (FDR). Buhari knows so much about that project that is why he always make reference to helmuth Kohl.

The Blast furnace is the best of its kind...the Housing is so unique that its too modern for an African country back then.

wetin cause the quarrel I was told was that the Russians favored using eastern sea port...a dredge of River Niger through Idah, Onitsha straight to Port Harcourt and the Atlantic.

the British thought it was a trick to compete with them and take out the new oil & gas reserves....na so two western quarelll quarelll take stop a project we paid part of our own deal ohh! Foolish leaders, quietly keep quiet dey watch like mumu.

The Soviets saw first hand the bravery of the Biafrans, and really wanted a foothold....opting for eastern ports instead of Western one in Lagos!

mrvitalis:
I don't even want to start the story long read why the ajoakuta steel plant failed

Read while they allowed the only aluminum smitting complex in nigeria fo rot away because they didn't want to dredge a particular river...

I have always said Nigerians attempt to held igbos down have lead to Nigeria holding its self down

The best known deployment of the ogbunigwe unguided rocket was what became known as the "Abagana Miracle' It was deemed a miracle because the Nigerian 2nd division under gen Murtala was given a 6000 strong men, and armour vehicles, sharp fresh western weapons and tasked to over run the Biafran territory linking up Col Benjamin Adekunle, aka Black scorpion. One of late Black scorpion son is my friend today, no hard feelings.
The Nigerian 2nd div had more weapon than the entire biafra army or what remains of it. They started from Onitsha, after gaining access from Idah in Kogi State, wihich they captured after he 3rd attempts.....but they were never to reach or link up with Adekunle in Port Harcout or even reach Uli/Ihiala.

From what Wikepedia wrote, you will quickly realized that no be today NA begin dey burn civilain areas as well as looting what they can loot.

Here's how Wikepedia puts it!

Abagana ambush
The Abagana Ambush (March 31, 1968) was an ambush during the Nigerian Civil War by Biafran troops led by Major Jonathan Uchendu that wiped out the Nigerian 2nd Division. Of the 6,000 Nigerian troops ambushed, only a very small number survived, including the 2nd Division's commander, General Murtala Muhammed.

Background
On 4 October 1967, the Nigerian Army's 2nd Division began bombarding Onitsha and continued the assault for eight days, before a 10 boat armada crossed the Niger River into the city. The occupying Nigerians didn't pursue retreating Biafran soldiers and instead opted to loot and burn the Onitsha market to the ground. The Biafran 11th and 18th Battalions under Major Joseph Achuzie and Col. Assam Nsudoh formed a pincer and attacked Onitsha from two directions, capturing and killing most Nigerian soldiers.

In December 1967 the Nigerian 2nd Division and the 6th Battalion crossed the Niger River at Idah (Kogi State) and began making their way towards Onitsha, finally capturing the city after several attempts. The Nigerian Forces now intended to link up the 1st Division at Enugu with the 2nd Division at Onitsha. To this end the Nigerian 2nd Division moved out towards Enugu, in a long convoy supported by armored cars, on the 31st day of March 1968.

Ambush
On 31 March 1968, a convoy consisting of 106 vehicles belonging to the Nigerian 2nd Division transporting 6,000 soldiers, as well as armour from Onitsha to Enugu was ambushed and decimated in the town of Abagana by a small unit of Biafran soldiers led by Major Jonathan Uchendu.

Homemade Ogbunigwe rocket missiles were launched by the Biafrans at a tanker truck carrying gasoline which caused an enormous explosion destroying many of the convoy's armoured vehicles and killing a large number of Nigerian troops. 350 tons of Nigerian Army equipment were destroyed or captured by the Biafran troops. After the rocket attack the Biafran soldiers opened fire on the convoy with small arms fire killing many more Nigerian soldiers. it was during this ambush that the Nigerian army suffered the heaviest single loss in the civil war.

Aftermath
The successful ambush at Abagana gave both Biafran soldiers and civilians hope in the war as well as temporarily halting the Nigerian advance into Biafran territory. General Murtala Muhammed was relieved of his command and never commanded a division again.

In his own words, Uchendu said the sight of the convoy almost paralyzed his troops. His boys were so anxious to start firing, more out of panic than anything else. He asked them to remain calm until he gave the command. He allowed much of the Nigerian 2 Division convoy to pass through. His boys were shocked why he would allow them go through into the Biafran held zone. They were nervous and suspicious, yet they trusted his military gallantry and so awaited to know his strategy. He said they concluded that the war was over, but as brave soldiers, they must fight to the last!

As he was guiding the soldier with the rocket launcher on what to do to the invading convoy and when best to strike, the soldier accidentally pressed the trigger, letting go of the rocket. Luckily, he hit a fuel tanker. The tanker exploded and threw its contents onto a nearby armour carrier setting everything ablaze, causing multiple explosions.

In panic, soldiers who already crossed over into the Biafran line ran in different directions in total confusion. The Biafran soldiers attacked. They radioed the regular troops and they joined in the attack. When Uchendu learned that Muritala Muhammed was with the convoy and somewhere in Nawfia, he set off hurriedly to capture him but was late as Muritala was sighted taking off with a helicopter.

Absolutely....

As well as research centers encouraging indigenous innovations that all them SE governor must be forced to fund and patronize.

kettykin:
I am thinking if there should be something like an ogbunigwe day to be celebrated with talk shows and seminars that will sho the millennials and GENZ what their grandparents and great grandparents where able to achieve in the battle field against the atrocious Soviet union, Egypt, British empire, Arab world, Niger,Cameroon Chad and other enemies of Biafra

May the wicked be wiped out!

Some of the manuscripts my dad savaged from the war was stolen in 2014.... especially the efforts put in place by CARITAS and one Scandinavian aid group flying in dried cod fish under risky conditions.

The person wey steal those books fit don go sell am give abokis for suya. Detailed entries, that should be in the archives in a museum today!

kettykin:
I overheard and read in LinkedIn how these legends in more than 50 years age refined palm oil and used it to run fighter planes , built mobile refineries amd built radios. Maintained and built spares for machineries, engines , cars , aeroplanes etc and I wonder why Biafra failed for a good for nothing satanic entity that has no meaningful achievement except electing a useless drug mule to presidency.
May God curse all the enemies of humanity . May they be wiped of the face of mankind, like the Titanic , may they sink and never rise

For the Gen z who might not know what Ogbunigwe is...here below are some of the pictures these indigenous innovations. By now, since Russia ran out of bullet shells in its war in Ukraine, maybe na we for dey supply Putin bullets... No hard feelings bro!

This is the mindset of the West, we are not going to keep people, but you meant to do it, we will be too glad to sell you weapons in return for USd or your natural resources.

Imagine us in a position where we can sell mercenaries to Russia or Ukraine in return for technology in some fields like Agriculture.

Any day these clowns come online to praise eleveted agberos like Oluomo I feel like..well

Tips about the Ogbunigwe unguided rocket:
It's short range, military grade rocket system based on Basic projectile principles which used Calculations of range, height and Distance to lob its payload into enemy positions. It's highly mobile, moveable and easily assemble, which means it can be moved from one front to another. The propeller or engine is a secret lost in the war.

For those who knows a little about the Igede, ogene and other mysterious Igbos iron works, I heard, its main frame was built using well refined iron pieced together from Ogene gongs. that is why we say, the Ogene is spiritual.

The backwardness experienced today is self inflicted...because, the principle of Natural Science is as is in Berlin as well as in Rome, same as in Enugu, Onitsha, Daura or Ogbomosho! It's one damn law that is same everywhere!

If you prepare your Professors to be election riggers like Prof yaks, you can imagine the kind of society you will get: One where Oluomo and drug bagmen are celebrated instead of genuine men who fule development via real productive means!

Back then, you become a Professor due to ground breaking research and development journals in your field you author, but today, professor is as a result of which Daddy GO or mummy GO you are affiliated to, or more directly how willing and prepared you are to rig elections!

Africans will truly rise when the Black Master tribe, the Aryans of africa left to take their rightful place!

After second world war ended, The US, Soviet, France, Britain all made a mad dash to strip Germany & what remained of the Japanese empire all its best brain and well documented blueprints. If you are a research Chemist like me, you will quickly understand that Blueprints are the exclusive preserves through which foundations are built for further development..

The Japs were renowned as the best in Marine, ship building technology of its time...spewing out huge behemoths like like Yamato...the largest of its kind then, the Akira and several other monsters of the deep ocean. I don't even want to talk about he the zeros built Mitsuibishi.... after the war, the occupying power, the Us & allies stole much of the blueprints especially in area of engine designs and the calculations that make it possible, in return to build Japan beyond their widest dream. Both parties kept to the deal. Japan today is so develop, and secured as well because, there is US pacific fleet ready to unleash terror on any rogue nation, plus a high salert division of Marines stationed at Okinawa Japan!

Germany...the king of innovations and qualtiest of products were tnot spared the poaching! Now, the Germans were the first in almost everything modern. it was even its Jewish scientist who exiled themselves to US that helped the US build the first A-bomb used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those guys were the first to understand the monstrous power buried in atoms. What happened next? The blueprints were stolen, sized and the scientist coerced into interpreting them. in return for making Germany developed and safe again. Now both parties kept to the terms of the agreement.

Fastforward 25 years later...... a black nation got itself enguilf Ed in civil strife, which then lead to a war. The super powers having superior knowledge of the Oil & gas reserves, and also knowing the mistake they made by allowing the Japanese learn their technology in 1800s, promptly sided wirth the less endowed side; Nigeria. They kept a healthy supply of arms, logistics equipments, strategies, diplomacy and all , 2+ years later, the Biafran side fell. Now, the then leader of Nigeria, Gowon promised a No Victor, No Vanquish end of war. with these I was told should assimilate the Igbo scientists that made cutting edge developments in three areas:
1. Arms manufacturing: Biafra was the first Black nation to indigenously design, tested and mass produced an unguided rocket, named Ogbunigwe, and also a close related anti personnel contact mine. Those scientist that made these happens later exiled these selves, some became teachers instead of research titans like this here super genius Prof Felix Oragwu!
2. Construction: Biafrans waere the first black nation to design and build from scratch Airport run ways and airstrips entirely up to military standards of europeans in 1960s.... Uli Airstrip comes to mind, including its accompanying infrastructures such as RADAR and Air traffice control systems made from Radio components.
3. Refinery: The Biafrans were the first black nation to refine crude oil with out the accompanying need for a huge Refinery complex, not done...when Port Harcourt and its sources of crude were captured by Uk military coached 3rd marine commando Division led by Black scorpion, and later, Obj, the Biafran scientist switch to non-catalytic refining, opting instead to refine palm oil into fine blends that could power car & airplane engines!

What have we learned. Blacks are as black in heart as their skin.

Japan killed more Americans without provocation during peace time, yet they respected each other after war, and work together to make their countries better. Americans still respect Japanese products as far superior than Americans because that is exactly what it is! Can we say that for a black country? No!
The Germany subjugated the whole Europe into its Lebensraum, amidst a gruesome war, but after the war, Europeans respect the Germans as truly Aryans because that is what they are! What can we say about the tiny, dot country called Biafra that fought cold war enemies at a time, including their local Nigerian allies? Your guess is as good as mine! While you foolishly thrown Igbo tautrams up and down, on empty stomach. Know this and know peace, it could have been better if you have a powerful, well developed free country beside you than living together in squalid conditions!

This is Professor Felix Oragwu, 90 yrs old.

He was the head of Biafra Research and Production (RAP), the Biafran equivalent of Manhattan project, tasked to locally produce war materials that would overwhelm the enemy. Him & his team developed Ogbunigwe; world's first unguided rocket entirely built by a black nation with help from a white country as far back when UK lies in ruin and Frenchmen were suffering malutrition, and successfully processed Palm oil to power jet airplane during Biafra- Nigeria war.

Before you run your gutter mouth, ask your self if Nigeria side actually built anything then, and even now?Do you ever wonder why Nigeria buried these inventions after the war?

Last year, Indonesia celebrated successful processing of palm oil to power airplane, this is a feat this man Prof Felix Oragwu and his team achieved 56 years ago.

G-d bless the Igbos!

There is a reason why he is the C-in-C.... a shady leader cant do it. Na this wan wey he foot soldiers na Oluomo, naim want do am?

Nicenixon:
It is easier said than done. The president can't do it alone.

The greatestt impediment I think will be from the people...not even the leaders.

Those jogod guy who like dashing across major high ways instead of using over head bridge.

that lazy girl who would rather tie up trash in nylon and toss it into open drainage.

That hurry hurry who will not want to stay at the queue at passport office.

That fake pasta who would like to buy private jet from sources that could be describe as Non profits... the list goes on and on!

Throwback:
You have spoken like a true patriot.

Your bold recipe to solving some of the problems we have as a country, resonate well with mine.

But the same Nigerians you want to do all these for would be used to mount a barricade on the streets and calling for the end of your "draconian" regime.

Because a full generation donot know what is called corrupt free society! These are all easy stuffs to do if a squeaky clean leader leads, and a willing follower ready to adjust to corrupt free society...

That means those little nonsense a lot of y'all are fond of doing, like leaving the over head bridge and just dashing across the road can get you suspended jail terms! Go Lagos, see 80% of the population behaving like mad animals....

Are you ready to behave like a normal human? If yes, then it is easy!

kingkelvin2033:
Just like that? Easier said than done. If Tinubu did this, how many people will complain of joblessness? What will the PDP say? What will the Labour party and the followers of Peter Obi say?

Ordinary to remove subsidy and free the naira from speculators. He becomes T-Pain and Yorubas "ebinpawa".

Until you get to that seat, you won't know bad things really are. The job of the nigerian president is a job I wouldn't wish even for my enemy. Best may be a senator.

There is a CLEAN UP operation and there is a BUILD UP operation. Successive governments from 1999 cannot BUILD on the decay and rottenness of 22 years of oppression and wastage of the military regime. They are still cleaning up. If you are a realist, you will give Nigeria another 50 years before it can reach the level of its cousins, Singapore and India. Anybody that doesn't like it should travel to wherever he likes. Or stay and be a part of the story of change, progress and development. No matter how slow it may be.

No...all it takes is a squeaky clean leader everyone trusts, and a willing citizen ready to adjusts to a corrupt free Nigeria! If you don't break the law, you have no business with the police run by the military, or the Judiciary run by the military court... If you use the civil services, you will wait on the queue and give no bribe....

Is this too much of a problem to endure for six months

lionshare:
This is only possible under a dictatorship!

The first time I realized that Nigeria can work was when a baby I know off, born abroad in a common area country, and needed a passport so he can cross back and get a resident permit in he country his parents resides, it was done together with a new NIN within one week. that was early this year!

I was like what? So its this easy, was it because of the payment was in USD?

Here now, is some fellow getting his within 26th hours!

A serious president will first of all sack the Police force, give the Army control over internal; policing for 6 months while a new band of patriotic police force is recruited and and trained among all cadre.

Sack all lower to middle cadre members of the civil service. hand it over to a new set of contractors for six months while a new set of civil service is recruited and trained. Every one who had earlier worked can not be reemploy. They should go start a farm! Or any side hustle or work as contractors etc.

Disband the entire judiciary and hand over all civil matters to a Military court, while a new set of NJC and its judges and members are recruited and trained. for six months. All former employees are not allowed to work. If caught forging credentials to get employed...life imprisonment.

Within 1 year, Nigeria will be the most corrupt free country on earth

The problem of Nigeria lies in these three set of people.....Both politicians and the ordinary corrupt Nigerian needs one or all of these three to do wrong and get away with it!

Good one!

Zims behave a lot like The Igbos....the new president of Botswana recognized this and promised to make resident permit easy for them. With Botswana resident, them no born South Africa not allowing them cross border.

While the our people from across the West behave a lot like South Africans....envious and backbiting once they know you don't have like their charater

She said we are asking for slavery money as if to say it's only Nigeria that was colonised or sold into slavery. Uk was colonised for donkey years. Other countries don't cry wolf about slavery and colonialism like we do. As if when gi even money our politicians won't share it.
We can o ly shut colonial masters up by developing more than them and compete with them internationally.
Well, your people love the big life. They use every minute to show their presence everywhere and they are hardly united here.

I was with 2 Nigerians. Na so we dey look her as she waka pass like she didn't say anything.


Zimbabwean of all people telling us the truth about naija.
Hmm.
