Ipob idiots and noise are like five and six

Just like their dumb dilector who was lured into Kenya straight into the trap that was set for him

The article mentioned something about honesty and intergity. I was wondering doesn't this man have an EFCC corruption case hanging over his head?

kettykin:
Instead of any section of the country to be denied justice, let the country burn into pieces. Denying any part of the country justice, equity and fair play is on its own a void of the constitution and should be treated as such.

Burn down which country? Go and set your father's compound on fire nobody send you but we will not burn down our country simply because your ethnic group doesn't get the presidency

I have eaten foreign rice from Japan,I have eaten chicken from Thailand, I have drank milk from Holland. Trust me, wherever you are in Nigeria, you can eat if you have the money

If there was no North, south will still eat

But if there is no south, North will may die out with their so called food within 3 years

Yes you do but millions of your brethren depend on northern food to survive. They rush to the north to earn a living while you enjoy your Japan rice in the east

gidgiddy:


We buy food with our hard earned money. How can I buy food and the person selling the food says he is feeding me? Are you giving me the food for free?

yes you do but you you can't If you don't have where to buy from

babasolution:


Stop feeding, let us see who dies first.

That's why you flock our lands in your millions

I challenge anyone to mention one value of the north to Nigeria,just one value the north brings.No one should mention food,as every region is capable of producing all its food.The south provides the sea coast,oil and gas,cocoa,sesame seed(middlebelt), palm oil,entertainment, sport etc.Who can mention one value of the north to Nigeria.Why do they feel so important, if not that the southern leaders are fools.

We feed you punk

Since 2002.cus many lecturers wee running away from doing PhD and will rather wait for promotion and that's is the Genesis of jankara phd in nigera

Exactly. The system has been bastardized.

Osilama1:
u can become a senior lecturer without phd... It's promotion... And becoming a Prof without PhD isn't New soyinka has non professor na title or promotion in a university... Many examples abound abroad and a few in Nigeria... He is intelligent and has contributed to scholarship which is why he earned it...

Oga you can't become a senior lecturer in a Nigerian university today without a PhD. I know this better than you because it's my line of work. The rules changed in 2018 long after Osibanjo became VP. There's no amount of contribution to knowledge you can do in any field of endeavor that will get you beyond a senior lecturer position without a PhD.

A professor without a PhD. He's kinda lucky the rules were slack in those days, as at today, you can't even become a senior lecturer without a PhD

BiafranPatriot:
See zombies celebrating a man that isnt a force in his region. What manner of foolishness is ingrained in the DNA of low-life miscreants?

Asari insults Nnamdi Kanu is news?? When Nnamdi Kanu insults directly. a sitting president??

To be a zombie, the hallmark of your lineage is stupidity.

Kanu insulted a sitting president and look at what that got him

'...the competition for land and resources will get more intense in the years to come. I’m not sure everyone realizes in Nigeria, but your country’s population is growing about the fastest of any country in the world. In thirty years, only thirty years – the population of Nigeria will go from one hundred and ninety million people today to over four hundred million people. 190 to 400 [million] and much of this population growth will be across the north and middle belt of the country. So the challenges we face over land and resources aren’t going to get easier, they’re going to get harder. And for your children and your grandchildren the challenges they face about resources and potential violence in their communities will be even greater. Can you imagine that? This is a crisis and we must focus on it for long term good of Plateau state and all of Nigeria. Nigeria will need serious solutions to these underlying problems and that requires different groups, farming communities, herding communities and others to work together with government to find solutions that provide a future for everyone...'
US Charge d’Affaires David Young - 30 July 2018

Nigeria - Persistent Internal Disturbance


Nigeria has one of the highest rates of internal violence in the world, only unlike others with similar levels of bloodshed such as Colombia or Chechnya, there is not a civil war going on. Between 1999 and 2006 alone, over 50,000 were killed in ethno-religious violence and over 80,000 displaced. The farmer-herder conflict has become Nigeria’s gravest security challenge, by 2018 claiming far more lives than the Boko Haram insurgency. It has displaced hundreds of thousands and sharpened ethnic, regional and religious polarisation. In the north, an explosive growth of strident Christianity confronted an upsurge of puritanical, reformist Islam. In the Middle Belt, the mainly Christian local farmers collided with predominantly Muslim settler herdsmen in Plateau State, requiring the president to declare a state of emergency. In the Niger Delta, new rebel groups escalated their attacks on government and multinational installations, including the use of car bombings.

Over a decade on, the conflict in north-east Nigeria between government forces and armed groups, including Boko Haram, was far from over. Civilians continued to be caught up in the violence throughout 2019. Climate change also caused people to flee their homes. Extreme dry conditions ignited fires in displacement sites, and large-scale flooding impacted communities during the rainy season.

An increase in insecurity in 2019 saw military operations and attacks on villages force 105,000 people to flee across the north-east. Over seven million people relied on humanitarian assistance to survive in the worst-affected states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. The overwhelming majority of the north-east remained inaccessible to aid agencies due to active hostilities, threats of attack, and military restrictions that limited aid delivery to government-held “garrison towns”. These towns had little infrastructure, so many displaced families were crammed into tiny patches of land and received hardly any humanitarian support to meet their basic needs.

With minimal access to the worst-affected communities, the overall humanitarian crisis remained largely untold. International media and political attention largely focused on the security side of Nigeria’s conflict, overlooking its toll on civilians. The humanitarian crisis was expected to deteriorate further throughout 2020, and close to four million people were forecast to be food insecure in the north-east.

With an estimated 175 million people [as of 2013], Nigeria is Africa's most populous nation. It is also the United States' fifth largest oil supplier. Although Nigeria potentially could offer investors a low-cost labor pool, abundant natural resources, and the largest domestic market in sub-Saharan Africa, its economy remains stagnant, its market potential unrealized. The country suffers from collapsing infrastructure, possesses an inconsistent regulatory environment, and enjoys a well-deserved reputation for endemic crime and corruption. Following decades of misrule, Nigeria's transportation, communications, health and power public services are a mess. Once a breadbasket, Nigeria has witnessed a severe deterioration of its agricultural sector. Social, religious, and ethnic unrest, and a lack of effective due process, further complicate business ventures in Nigeria. Moreover, the government remains highly over-reliant on oil exports for its revenue and thus subject to the vagaries of the world price for petroleum. Investors must carefully research any business opportunity and avoid those opportunities that appear "too good to be true."

Nigeria has, over the past four decades, earned a reputation for corruption on a grand scale. Modest requests for dash early in the country's history grew by leaps and bounds, with the exploitation of centrally controlled oil resources from the 1960s onward, into truly massive transfers of public funds from government coffers to private accounts. The military by no means started the system-allegations of corruption figured heavily in the first ("January" coup in 1966-but men such as Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha certainly escalated the scale of corruption to astounding levels.

Public monies are viewed as open access goods; anyone who fails to grab as much as he can as fast as he can is a fool, stupidly stinting himself and his relatives and friends so that others may benefit. This concept has become entrenched in Nigerian thinking about public affairs. A latter-day Hausa political adage - In na gwamnati ne, ba na kowa ba ("If it belongs to the Government, it belongs to no one" - encapsulates the idea that public funds are fair game for anyone who can capture them. The majority of office holders at all levels of public secular government seemingly prefer to risk jail for embezzlement of public funds entrusted to their care rather than risk opprobrium in their home areas for failing to enrich themselves and their communities during their time at the public trough.

Nigeria experiences civil unrest, violence and strikes. The causes and locations vary. Locations where outbreaks of violence have occurred include the Lagos area, Southwestern Nigeria, the oil-producing states in the southeast, and Kaduna State. There has been an increase in the number of unauthorized automobile checkpoints. These checkpoints are operated by armed bands of police, soldiers, or bandits posing as or operating with police or soldiers. Many incidents, including murder, illustrate the increasing risks of road travel in Nigeria. Reports of threats against firms and foreign workers in the petroleum sector recur from time to time. Chadian troop incursions have occurred at the border area in the far northeast, near Lake Chad. Incidents also occur in the southeast in the disputed Bakassi Peninsula at the border area between Nigeria and Cameroon.

While General Sani Abacha ruled, the Government continued to suppress harshly demands for greater local autonomy by members of ethnic minorities in the oil-producing Niger River delta region, including the Ogoni minority. In June 1998 Abacha died and was succeeded by General Aboulsalami Abubakar, who launched a program intended to restore decentralized constitutional democracy in the form of a federal republic. After Abubakar consolidated his authority in the armed forces the largely ceased to use lethal force to repress nonviolent political activities. The Government acted to mitigate ethnic and regional discrimination and tensions by restoring a federal system of government with substantial local and regional autonomy.

During the year 2012 Joint Task Forces (JTFs), composed of elements of the military, police, and other security services, conducted raids on militant groups and criminal suspects in Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Kano, Kaduna, Kogi, Niger, Plateau, Sokoto, and Yobe states, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries to alleged criminals, militants, and civilians. According to credible eyewitness accounts, JTF members committed illegal killings during attempts to apprehend members of the extremist group Boko Haram in several states, including Borno, Kano, Kaduna, and Yobe states and surrounding areas. Local nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), international human rights groups, and political and traditional leaders from the affected states accused the security services of indiscriminate and extrajudicial killings, illegal detention, inhumane treatment of detainees, and torture during the year.

Political violence often erupts during Nigerian elections. Some candidates hire young people to engage in violent acts, including intimidation of their opponents’ supporters or of voters believed to support opponents. Violence can also occur during the polling process, with the theft of ballot boxes and clashes at or near polling stations. The murder of political opponents and the kidnapping of family members of political opponents have also taken place.

In January 2021 Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari replaced four of the country's top military heads following months of pressure over the nation's worsening security crisis. Buhari, who took office in 2015 with a pledge to stamp out the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency, had long ignored advice to dismiss the commanders of Nigeria's army, navy and air force, as well as the chief of defense staff. He announced their resignation and replacements on Twitter on Tuesday. A recent spate of skirmishes in south-eastern Nigeria between the army and the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra group (IPOB) had further deepened Nigeria's security woes. Coupled with Boko Haram's continued presence in the north and a spike in armed banditry, swathes of Nigeria remain near-ungovernable. Nigeria is probably more insecure than it's been in recent history.

Nonsense practice.

I hope she will pay his groom price too and also bring money to rent apartment, fund the wedding and family upkeep?

It's so disgusting! The people who practice this kind of thing do it so as to appear 'modern' or 'civilized' but they totally disregard our Africa cultures and practices regarding such a serious thing as marriage. Before you marry someone in this part of the world regardless of your ethnic or religious background you have to do some preliminary consultations. It's a lot more serious than just kneeling down i some shopping mal and pulling out a ring, and to come fro a woman is just absurd

Asari Dokubo really took Nnnamdi Kanu and IPOB to the cleaners in that video. I was so impressed I even watched it twice

IPOB is an unlawful and proscribed organization in this country and so therefore cannot sue anyone. Nnamdi Kanu sued the FG in his personal capacity as a citizen and not as IPOB. Some of these IPOB fellas thin everyone is as stupid as them

24brains:
[s]pride kee you there. what men can do, women does it better!!![/s]

I don't blame you. You'll understand better when you reach my age

I am totally against this. I consider it totally unAfrican to propose marriage in public talk less of a woman making the proposal. Proposing to your intended in public is called 'ambushing' and it's intended to pressure him/her into making an important lifelong decision with serious consequences without having the time to think it through. Any proposal of marriage has to be fully thought through and not made on impulse. Any lady that tries that on me will get a resounding NO!

You can't be asking for Nnamdi Kanu's release on one hand and be asking for the presidency on the other. Nigerians are afraid that IPOB could gain national prominence if an Igbo man becomes president.

I no see where IPOB mention nairaland for there o

They both lost their relevance long time ago.

For coming to help you?

Go and read the report again. In fact read it twice then come back and modify your post

The whole country is convinced that you murder people and feed on their flesh. We all saw the gruesome videos ourselves. You also attack police stations, army formations, prisons and worst of all innocent civilians too. I don't see any lies here

Are we saying 1 trillion can't even build a functioning refinery or something?


I don't understand how this weird country works!

N1 trillion? Dangote's refinery cost him over $20 billion. N1 trillion cant do the job

chamboy:
just for further clarification, you can raise up to the rank of Professor with years of experience and academic brilliance with just Masters.

The only field in Nigeria Ive seen someone rise to become a prof without a PhD is in the medical sciences although I'm willing to admit there maybe some exceptional circumstances. I find it very surprising though that Osibanjo doesn't have a PhD however

Amotolongbo:
I hope the alcohols seized will increase the internal revenue of the state?

No it won't, but arresting the prostitutes sure will

I couldn't help but notice that he doesn't have a PhD. How does one become a professor without a PhD?

This clown is no Fulani man he's an Ibo guy. Ad why is he doing the exact opposite of what he said he's not doing? Which is being threatening and rude

It's so unfortunate that the American government placed a restriction on the deployment of these 'super boys' to the North East, they would have gone a long way in eliminating those terrorists in the North West and of course the south east. Anyway the death of a terrorist anywhere always translates to the life of many innocents elsewhere

Lol!The reporter asked for it. He asked a sarcastic question and got a same dose of his own medicine . I meant Biden was right to have pointed out that rising inflation in an election year can only hurt and not help the governing party

Penguin2:
Which platform?

AIT?

AIT that is full stop away from NTA?

Which platform gan gan?

And saying he gave IPOB platform for “propaganda” is actually an insult.

Because he’s insinuating that what IPOB has been doing is engaging in “propaganda”; which is an erroneous assertion.

IPOB is not a propaganda organization. They are an organization fighting for justice, equity, fairness and truth.

Every statement that has ever emanated from them has been truth and no propaganda.

I suggest Atiku takes this man away from his campaign before he destroys it with careless statements.

IPOB is a lot worse than just a propaganda organization, it is a group cannibalistic terrorists
