I was very upset yesterday the way the mods quickly pushed unsubstantiated claims by one writer calling for the Bloody bakassi boys back, I warned the mod to pull that off frontpage for the claim is still a rumour that it lack source, or take it to crime section, but they insisted, I said that the writer might not even be igbo, that if you continue like this, igbos as fast learners will start doing same, we igbos are quick learners and when we learn we over do it.. they didn't listen,
ok I woke up this cold morning, saw beautiful piece by Azuka Onwuka, on how Igbo apprenticeship has helped to alleviate people from poverty, and saved many people from war trauma , it helped us to recover very fast as if nothing really happened..
But the Mod didn't see the post worthy to be on frontpage, they shoved it down and dump it to culture section, this is because the content didn't insult or denigrate the great people of igbos,, I have decided to vent my anger over this, for you can't continue to push people around and expect them to seat and watch! you want people to see igbos as everything bad, it will fail as usual!

Gov. Fayose is always in search of something that would make him criticize PMB... He always wants to be at the spot light! May God see him thru.

That time you were using to type this message you would have used it to call 112 for emergency rescue incase he might still have life within him.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu has nullified the election of the Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, Mrs. Uche Ekwunife. The Court ordered a rerun in the entire senatorial district.

The lifeless body of an unknown Keke Napep driver was seen at Adeola Hopewell Victoria Island, Lagos. Confirmed reports have it that the driver ran into a pole on the road and is now unconscious.

I read a thread written by a member of this forum with username 'Sweetguy25' titled Reasons Why Yoruba And Hausa Are Happy Being Nigerians. In the thread, the writer, inspired by the figment of his own imagination gave some reasons why some ethnic groups are 'happy' being Nigerians. In the said write-up, the writer wrote some insulting remark on the Ijaws and other ethnic nationalities in the Niger-Delta. In the words of the writer, "the reasons why Ijaws and other minorities in the South South are “content being Nigerians” Ignorance and helplessness. .

The position of the writer on the Ijaws and other ethnic nationalities within the Niger Delta region is a statement cluelessness and ignorance to be fair with the author. May I remind the author that the ethnic minorities in present day Edo and Delta states are the first and only group of post-independent Nigeria that got their demand(Midwest) through referendum after years of civil agitation. Till date, no other group in Nigeria have got ANY of their demand through referendum. It is on record that an Ijaw youth named Major Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro was the first in the history of Nigeria to declare an independent republic in 1966, the Niger Delta Republic. It is on record that an Ogoni man named Mr Ken Saro Wiwa defied the military junta of Abacha to press for an end to environmental pollution in Ogoni land and the Niger Delta region. It is on record that Ijaw youths in the late 1998 defied the military government of Abdulsallam by declaring their bill of right in Kaiama, Bayelsa state. This was after the Ogonis have did theirs in 1991. In fact, virtually all ethnic nationalities in the south south including Ikwerre, Urhobo, Oron etc have their respective Bills of Right, all of which are before the United Nation Organisation, African Union, ECOWAS, Commonwealth, and the Federal Government of Nigeria. Though I don't support armed struggle, it is on record that the first post civil war group to carry arms against the Nigeria State are Niger Delta youths, when the demanded an end to marginalisation.

Considering all these, is it not in place to state that the author of that said article is misinformed? Can a helpless group declare sovereignty in the military era? Can a helpless group challenge Abacha? Can a helpless group pick up arms? Can an ignorant group maintain their advancement for fiscal autonomy? Were the Midwest(Edo and Delta) ignorant and helpless when they pushed and got demand for a separate region? Can ignorant and helpless group identify what they need from the system, document them and present them to local and global authorities? Why then should someone make himself to believe that Niger-Deltans are 'happy' being Nigerians due to ignorance and helplessness?

It is always proper for people to check records before uttering statement in public that portrays them as ill-informed and clueless.

I believe that no Nigerian is happy with the present state of the country irrespective of the position of the selfish and greedy elite. The ethnic nationalities in the south south shall continue to advance for fiscal autonomy within the Nigeria State by exploring every peaceful and legitimate option available. A time shall come when Nigeria State will be left with no option but to call for all ethnic groups to a round table in order to restructure the system for the good of all Nigerians.

people should understand that whatever buhari is doing is for the benefit of Nigeria/Nigerians. Of course he needs to travel a lot to redeem our tattered image in the international community.

PDP and that silly Jonathan have done a great damage to this nation. Buhari needs our support and encouragement to make Nigeria work again.

God bless buhari/osinbajo

God bless Nigeria/Nigerians

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has written to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan urging him to use the new Foundation he is establishing to engage in soul-searching and in reviewing his past actions.

In the letter, dated October 12, 2015, Mr. Obasanjo also advised Mr. Jonathan to consider the Foundation as a platform through which he can heal his conscience and demonstrate penitence over his past actions.

Mr. Obasanjo wrote the letter in response to an earlier letter written to him by Mr. Jonathan on September 22, informing him of his plans to set up a foundation through which he would continue to service humanity.
