Anago55:
. Wait,were you not the one I saw on the other thread arguing about the legality of the Eastern security network and how igbos are fools and all the bad things of the world. You ended it by claiming Igbo

I might be wrong though. what do you intend to achieve with this thread?

I’m just curious just as many Nigerians to the secret paternity of Olusegun Obasanjo. Why then will you bring up that useless ECN into this discuss? Must everyone worship scammer Kanu to be seen as less Igbo?

All I’m for is that the Presidency be zoned to the SE, but the allegations of Obasanjo’s Igbo paternity is something I’ve had keen interest for a long time.

Anago55:
Yorubas keep scoring an own goal to further darken their chances of getting the presidency in 2023

I mean who do they think will buy into this tales of the moonlight?

I just can't stop laughing though

Well you are right. By equity and natural justice, the 2023 Presidency goes to the SE, but looking at the mystery of Obasanjo’s paternity you can't just push it aside. Unlike Murtala whose origin to Auchi seems to be accepted by the day, Obasanjo’s origin despite the clue is still muddled in secrecy.

Like Joseph, God used him to save his people from potential genocide by the third marine division. Obasanjo made sure those guilty of rape and also those who took part in post-war extrajudicial killings of Igbo civilians were shot.

Igwe Onyejekwe’s demise in 1970 may have helped cover the true origin of Olu Obasanjo, but the acts and deeds of Obasanjo after the civil war and during his Presidency is a pointer that blood is thicker than water.

Obasanjo and Ifeajuna from Onitsha were good friends. Obasanjo and Nzeogwu were even said to be more than brothers. Is this ordinary? It was even rumoured that Obasanjo knew about the coup. The book ”Nzeogwu” was written by Obasanjo.

Obasanjo was close to Ironsi and acted as a mediator between the coup plotters and the military head.

Obasanjo’s birth a mystery. Was Igwe Onyejekwe secretly in communication with him as a young boy. A little boy cannot fund his tuition fees and upkeep by himself, especially as the adopted Father abandoned his mother. Did late Onyejekwe used his contacts as a Police Officer to link up his first son in the army officers cadet?

Blood is really thicker than water.

Striking resemblance.

And on page 84 of the 253-page biography titled: Olusegun Obasanjo in The Eyes Of Time- A Biography of the African Statesman, Onukaba Adinoyi-Ojo, making reference to Obasanjo’s paternity, wrote: “A little over a year after Ashabi’s (Obasanjo’s mother) death, Amos Adigun Obasanjo Bankole passed away following a brief illness. He was buried at Onigbedu where he had remained till the very end. At 22, just when a smile was perching on his face, Olusegun Obasanjo became an orphan.” But the rumour peddlers are far from being convinced. In Onitsha the popular story is that Obasanjo is the product of a romantic liaison between Igwe Onyejekwe and Ashabi, Obasanjo’s mother, in the 1930s. As the story goes, the Onitsha prince jettisoned the idea of taking Ashabi as wife because doing so would hurt his chances of ascending the throne. Another source told the magazine in Onitsha that Onyejekwe actually issued a recommendation that facilitated Obasanjo’s enlistment into the Nigerian Army in 1958. However, in Adinoyi-Ojo’s book there is no mention of Obasanjo requiring recommendation from anyone to join the Army. Yet the proponents of Obasanjo’s Igboship point to a statement credited to him (Obasanjo) during a working visit to Anambra State as confirmation of their claim. Obasanjo had reportedly told an audience in Awka that any of his children is qualified to govern Anambra State. Though the statement was brushed aside then as a gibberish political talk, it has become invaluable with the advantage of hindsight. Whatever anyone chooses to believe, indications are that the rumour mill will remain in overdrive for some time.

But can it be true? Is Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, the Balogun of Owu in Egbaland, be the biological son of Igwe Joseph Okwudili Onyejekwe, the Obi Onitsha Ado N’Idu from 1962-1970? Onyejekwe ascended the coveted throne after the demise of Igwe James Okosi who ruled from 1931-1935. His enthronement came after the report of the famous W.R. Harding Commission, which resolved disputes among the contenders for the throne. If the answers are in the affirmative, does that mean that the Igbo have accidentally taken their eight years ration at the presidency and the Yoruba have not? Oba Isaac Adeyemi Ojelade- Badegunle 1, the Onibogun of Ibogunland, Obasanjo’s reputed maternal hometown, says the rumour peddlers are either callous or are just doing it out of idleness. “It is a big lie, it is nothing but rumours. Obasanjo is a typical Abeokuta man and his father was a pure Egba man from Owu with three facial marks on each side of his cheeks. As a matter of fact, his father came from Abule Elere to Ibogun. They are from Agbole-Olusomi in Abeokuta and I come from his mother’s lineage,” the nonagenarian told TheNEWS.

The man in picture A, The Nation explained, was an Igbo who lived in the Abeokuta area in the 1930s, about the time Obasanjo was born. According to The Nation, the police officer later became a monarch on a prominent South-Eastern throne. Before then, however, he had interacted fruitfully with the local community and had a brief affair with an Owu lady, before his final exit from the South-West. Though the newspaper did not say more than that, it left little to the imagination. Whatever innuendo was left of the brewing Obasanjo paternity controversy was blown open the next day by the Abuja-based Leadership newspaper via a damning column tagged Olusegun Igbochukwu Obasanjo, authored by Sam Nda-Isaiah. Using the pictures supplied by The Nation as the fodder of his write-up, the columnist released the bombshell. “The editors of The Nation didn’t want to say much, and they have left us to our imagination, but it won’t be from me that you will hear that Obasanjo’s father was Igwe Onyejekwe, a top ranking police officer who became the Igwe of Onitsha in his lifetime. During his controversial reign, the throne was in contention between him and Igwe Okosi II, just as it is today between Igwe Achebe and Igwe Odukwe,” Nda-Isaiah wrote.

Not done with Obasanjo, the columnist went for the kill: “Igwe Onyejekwe, Obasanjo’s daddy, died after the civil war and, like his son, was said to be very cantankerous and quarrelsome.”The columnist intoned that the circumstances of his birth and rejection would have helped make the former president a very bitter and wicked person. He implored Nigerians never to make anyone their leader except they know where he is coming from. “And Nigerians really saw that proverbial wickedness in the last eight years. It is a very wicked man that would increase the price of a litre of fuel by a whopping N10 on his way out of power, simply because he has a pecuniary interest in refineries he had just sold away. It is also a very bad and wicked president that would double the value of VAT on his way out. What does it cost to be nice and kind and empathetic? Nothing! But that’s for normal people. And Obasanjo is far from being normal.” Closing on a comical note, the columnist advised that since Obasanjo loves power so much and is a prince of Onitsha, ‘‘can’t we just simply crown him the Igwe so that he can leave us alone?’’

Obasanjo's Real father - A Paternity Controversy

BY SAHARA REPORTERS JUNE 18, 2007

It may sound stranger than fiction, but as daylight melts into darkness, the rumour about Obasanjo’s Igbo roots is gaining currency. Former Abia State governor, Orji Uzor Kalu, had inadvertently teed off the Obasanjo paternity debate a few weeks ago when he declared that nobody should use the ex-president’s failings as a yardstick to appraise the competence of Yoruba leaders, because Obasanjo is not a Yoruba man in the first place. But the significance of Kalu’s postulation was lost on many who dismissed it with a wave of the hand.

However, last week, tales about Obasanjo’s non-Yoruba ancestry received an oriental twist when The Nation of Sunday, 10 June, published what could be regarded as the biggest affront on Obasanjo’s paternity. Slammed on its front page were two identical photographs of Obasanjo with the headline “Spot The Difference.” While on the right was an old photograph of Obasanjo, on the left was what appeared like an old black-and-white photo of the same Obasanjo. To assist the reader, who apparently, would require the services of a graphic artist to spot the difference, The Nation editors provided a caption to illustrate the pictures. “The personality in picture A is not former President Olusegun Obasanjo who is in picture B. But what do both personalities have in common?” The Nation asked.

How true is this accusation? The only thing that can end this rumour is if Obasanjo takes a paternity test with the sons of the late Igwe. The resemblance and story to Obasanjo’s mystery paternity is too good to be true.

1. The resemblance — 100%
2. Igwe and Ashabi love entanglement 90%

AsiwajuNdigbo:
[s]After thorough observation and investigation looking into the reasons many people are opposed to ESN, we were able to narrow down the opposition and its epicenter.

Anambra people are the ones leading and bank rolling this antagonism to ESN. They are determined to overlook the many benefits and values inherent in the formation and operation of the newly created security corps.

Many leaders around the world agree on the need for community policing and at different scale befitting the need and in slresponse as a countermeasure to the level of imminent or perceived threat. As such, these world leaders agree unanimously on the concept of ESN as a local protective shield. Let me add that shortly after its creation there was a chorus of acknowledgement and kudos to the show of gallantry and organization in the ESN structure. The world is joyous and happy with us. From what we learnt, the video of ESN on drill grounds in uniform and color guards has made its way to the security briefing in Oval office. This is very very significant and raises the trust and credibility of Eastern Security Network in the eye of the world.

We thus ask, are there any counter voice to what the world has accepted as a good policy? In fact, we found plenty opposition here at home. Yes, right in East.

The people that ought to jubilate and lay wrappers on ground ffor Eastern Guards to march on as they enter town in triumphant glory, they are bitter and sour. They fail to see what the rest of the world see, they fail to focus where it is appropriate, on security, safety. Instead they are attaching ESN unecessarily to IPOB, to Kanu. They are turning their back on security and safety and embracing jealousy to attack one man and his organization. ESN is not ipob. We shall call them EASTERN GUARDS. They are drawn from all over East and its a volunteer group. The call went out and people joined voluntarily. They are patriots.

Who are the dissenters opposed to these patriots? Anambra people form the arrowhead of the opposition. They are flooding internet and flying banners and bankrolling people from other states to reject Nnamdi Kanu and reject ESN.

God will not give them victory. We shall not rest to advocate for and support Eastern Guards. We love them, they are brave men and women and very patriotic.

May God bless East
May our fallen heroes not be in vain
Biafra shall rise again

Big love to Eastern Guards

Jealous and haters can quench.[/s]

Oga you made no point. That interstate division is stale. Rather than talk something reasonable, na this nonsense you talk for mouth. Osogbo miscreant!

amakadlite:
Did you see the corpses of man and his pregnant wife who was raped and killed of recent? did you see the benue doctor who was butchered in his farm last week? these and thousands of people that have lost their lives to these terrorists are not humans enough to move the governors to provide security to their people?

Fulani herdamen is a problem of which a strong community policing will clamp down. The north are suffering today because they allowed farmers/herders cum ethnic/religious conflict thrive. A situation where criminals are allowed to go scot free is what has made their region volatile to these types of killings.

The east have their own peculiar problem. Fulani herdsmen killing needs to be nip in the bud, but it's least among the problems facing us. We have much problems from armed robbery, kidnapping and fraud. What we need is a strong community policing backed by law and not a band of lawless touts with ulterior motives.

bobowaja:
Good. Ameachi go destroy APC for Rivers state himself. Why not work with Abe? Pride won't allow him.

You mean Abe the mole!

With the rate of killings, terrorism and fraud in this country I’m not surprised by the government call for SIM validation with NIN.

Yujin:

Let me hear you clearly... who exactly are you referring to as terrorist?
As for your insults, I'll let them slide for now.
I'm Yujin and not a member of any useless political party in Nigeria. You should do well to know those you want to engage. IPOB Is very formidable and we are like the men of Issachar. We will defend our land against all invaders and local collaborators. Today is the 21st of December and ESN has been operating combing our forest for terrorists. If you're one of them, it's best you run away.
The core north has Hisbah and civilian JTF, SW have Amotekun and Eastern Nigeria has ESN. That's the state of affairs in today's Nigeria. If you don't like it, you can hang yourself.

Men of Issachar. Good ridance! Your formidable spirit have been tasted time without number, yet the result has always been death, chestbeating and tactlessness. You lots should use yourselves to test run your conflict, but nobody should bring that madness to our homes.

Thanks!

MrSly:

you are sorely alone in any attempt to betray mazi nnamdi kalu. sabotours won the first war for their aboki masters. this time igbos know that their true enemies are people like you.

What betrayal are you talking about? Nnamdi Kanu is a fraud and had been a betrayal a long time ago. Is it until you begin to see dead bodies in the streets of Igboland that your eyes will open? Kanu is answerable to only his paymasters, sponsored by the enemies of Ndigbo to use us to settle their political scores but they’ll fail.

amakadlite:
It it after the Fulani herdsmen must finished raping your mothers and sisters in their homes and farms then you will wake up from your slumber to start forming security that your slave masters will never allow to see the day light?

Fulani madness is blown out of proportion by the media and the likes of IPOB. Those who want to benefit from the scaremongering in order to take control of Igboland know themselves. It's similar to the Yoruba’s using Amotekun to settle scores with the FG for political reasons.

If for instance we need a zonal security network in the East we know how to go about it. A security network that will arrest all the ills in the SE which includes, kidnapping, armed robbery, rituals, fraudsters, and herdsmen attack etc.

We will form a security regiment to safeguard our streets and it will be monitored like community policing. Not by an illegal group constituting nuisance under the name of floating security for us. IPOB security is dead on arrival. IPOB are not after securing lives, the agenda is a deep secret planned by our enemy to bring war on our doorstep.

Yujin:

[s]You're very correct. They will do all they can to cause confusion and division in the south because that's their only escape route from facing the eviction at hand. We must remain vigilant toll the end[/s].

Ezi. Egbe Eligwe Gbagbuo unu nile. Chief IPOB propaganda. Rather than challenge your political rivals, all of your PDP animals want to use Igboland as your next theatre of war but it won't happen. Never again shall we fall into such trap.

Yujin:

It is you that we shall bring to an end. We know who you are so go tell those who sent you that this strategy has failed and next one will fail too.
Meanwhile, tell your Hisbah to stop attacking people doing their alcoholic businesses because Nigerian constitution doesn't criminalize it and your Sharia law is BELOW that constitution.

Nairaland resident IPOB/PDP idiot your end is already near. Because you’ll be the first batch to taste the bullet you’re cooking. Be deceiving yourselves here by calling anyone who speak against Kanu a northener. You can form your online security on facebook but any idiot bringing it home will understand the language of our people. We have learnt the bitter lesson and will no longer shelter a bunch of terrorist in our homes. The north can shield their criminals but never us.

When you want to mess around next time, bring up your Giddygiddy handle. Ewu. Chukwu nna kpokwa unu nile oku ebeahu.

Notasyouthink:
And where did you conduct the study that IPOB are 1 million in number??
Anybody that is against IPOB or ESN is an enemy of the Igbo race and my prayer to such idiot is that fulani herdsmen will visit him/her family and give them the fulani herdsmen treatment amen.

We know your tactics. Use fulani herdsmen boogey to scare people into accepting your satanic leadership and gain a foothold over Igboland. But you people are late comers to history. Tell your sponsors that they’ve failed as the Igbo nation have found them out time. Fulani herdsmen my foot. You guys should stop using your demonic tactics to deceive people because many of us can read the handwriting on the wall.

EmekaA125:

Trash talking. How's IPOB PDP

IPOB is PDP. Every politically conscious Igbo man knows this, except zombies.

engrchykae:
hahaha,let me educate you.
Nazi were able to take over Germany because of the silence of political leaders when France, UK, Belgium and USA forced the treaty of Versailles on Germany, humiliating Germany,the Germans hated it but their political leaders wanted to be good boys,Hitler rode on popular opinion and seized power and the third Reich began .
In our own case,we want our own nation,it's the popular opinion of igbos,and nnamdi kanu is the face,if he declares war,there will be men to enlist,this is because he is at the head of popular opinion.
Mark this day,ipob will take over in less than 10 years

Where did you conduct the study to say it is the popular opinion of Igbos to want Biafra? Is it Ndigbo who fought a war we’ve learnt from or another tribe? So out of over 40 million Igbo, 1 million IPOB miscreants will decide our fate? You people are just deceiving yourselves. One thing is sure, IPOB will not last 5 years. When the head is cut off, the sheep will be scattered. The end of Nnamdi Kanu is near you can take that to the bank.

We can never allow a pschopath and his army of zombies destroy us a 2nd time. Chukwu nna ekwela ihe ojo. We’ll rather assist in ending him than follow him to that Golgotha.

Anyim the sellout. Dude deserves to be stoned for always shortchanging Igbo interest. Patriot in the morning but IPOB sponsor at night.

Let Anyim tell Ndigbo what we gained in the 16 years of PDP support. Anyim should tell us why we had zero infrastructural development under GEJ despite having the ears and eyes of the Presidency.

Anyim should tell us his pact with Obasanjo which denied Ndigbo the VP slot in 2007. Anyim and other PDP SE Godfathers should tell us how he helped destroyed Igbo political growth by being used by Obasanjo to form MASSOB in 2002 which culminated to IPOB and the lost of interest of our people to national elections.

Old news from a runaway coward. Tueh!

engrchykae:
this is how Nazi took over Bavaria,but ipob knows what we want.
The governors are useless and will be dealt with

Did you read the nonsense you wrote. You agreed that IPOB is towing the path of Nazi Germany and yet you’re supporting them. Remove that Engineer from your name because you are no different from an illiterate Ariaria tout.

IPOB is PDP and PDP is IPOB! Ndigbo cannot be fooled, we stand with our Governors.

ESN or whatever they call themselves will soon receive the heat they are looking for. When we need to form our own regional security, we’ll do it at our own time. IPOB and runaway Kanu cannot float an illegal security for us. It won’t stand because we shall resist them.

Amaechi is the recognized APC leader in Rivers state. Magnus, Aguma and other Wike sponsored moles should be sent packing.

Exactly
