Ioannes:
I knew the source would have to be something like igbobia.com

Don't mind them,they are recycling curses on themselves and their children and children's children.
Awo responded in his clinical detailed manner to every accusations and mentioned that these lies were sponsored against him to reduce his votes in the Eastern States but prophetically stated that posterity will judge him favorably and his detractors will be put to damnation. Have you not wondered why no single face can be put to the authorship of these lies , even those who indirectly supported this campaign of calumny against Awo died painful death on wheelchair and life support machines whereas Awo just died peacefully in his sleep and his wife who died recently buried peacefully beside Awo.
His Mausoleum isn't overgrown with weeds like that of Zik and his children are not fighting over property. He was married to a single woman through out his life and had no lovechild or marriage scandal.
And now a member of his household is sitting on the throne of Nigeria!
That's a man blessed by God!!!

These are all lies carefully crafted by some irresponsible members of the Igbo political elites with evil intentions of blocking Awo from becoming the President.
The great Ojukwu who led the war later described Awo in very glowing words at Awo's death by describing Awo as "the best president Nigeria never had".
These evil stories are beyond the sophistication of ordinary Igbo people , so where children of ordinary Igbo like the OP rehash this story, you know that it's not today,some irresponsible political leaders in Igboland have been playing ludo with the political destiny of the Igbo.
If an Awolowo could direct his people to welcome the Igbos and return properties and even rents collected from the properties of Igbo people in Yoruba land to the Igbos unlike some places in the former Eastern region yet some Igbo political leaders could spew evil lies against Awo,it tells you that the curse on some of them that made them nonentities in today's Nigeria is justified.
While a child of a descendant of someone without any contribution to the creation of this falsehood like the OP is busy spreading these evil lies, God had vindicated Awo.
By divine arrangement,Awo who was vilified as the first leader of Opposition in Nigeria has been vindicated by posterity as the very first time an incumbent will be defeated by an opposition party, the victory was delivered in the household of Awolowo even without them struggling for it.
Since God doesn't lie and he is the one who chooses leaders,bypassing the household of millions to deliver power in the household of Awolowo is a big statement to put the detractors of Awolowo to shame.
To cap it all,Awo that was being vilified by some Igbos now has descendant of his household, current acting President Osibanjo being praised by Awo's enemies.
I pray that the God that put to shame all the enemies of Awolowo will bless us the way He blessed the household of Awolowo(Amen).
It's by their fruits you shall know them,we have seen the fruits of Awolowo,but the fruits of his detractors are evil.

Sorry but seriously you sound more stupid than your post. Rising non oil sector export forex earnings? I won't argue with you my dear. I clearly know that you are a kid who knows nothing but copy and paste. Please let it go

Really If you spend half of your time to think critically,you will develop better mentally. Do it now that you are still young so you won't end up miserably like your uncles

SalamRushdie:


The fact you ascribe to reasoning tha suggest the govt of a country that is heavily import dependent with no hope of turning the tables soon due to poor vision , lack of infrastructure and poor electricity generation - the fact you ascribe to reason that support such a govt continue funneling scarce resources needed in other sector just to give the naira a cosmetic value shows poor judgement on your part and smacks of a shallow thought process which is exactly what Buhari is suffering from ( please no insults intended toward you or Buhari )

Clearly you are confusing fiscal with monetary policies. I now see where you got it confused.Just brush up your education first before insulting others.

Gentle2015:


It won't just work my brother. Saving the naira is just a temporary measure. We need to strengthens the naira and not to save. Don't argue with me because it will clearly shows your incompetence

You are clearly incompetent if you can't comprehend those four major factors I mentioned in this order:
1.Rising oil output and sales.
2. Rising non oil sector export forex earnings.
3. Transparency and honest management of public finance.
4. The apparent political will to fight and defeat these unpatriotic speculators.

SalamRushdie:


Very shallow post

Seriously you can do better Mr Armchair Critic

EgunMogaji:


It's my opinion.

Trust me, my fate is bountiful riches because I don't depend on one economy. 2.1m barrels at destitute price?

I have empathy for you though as you're unable to reason intelligently in a debate, at least in a financial sense. Too bad.

Apparently,you didn't know or refer to the current price of crude oil.Perhaps if you do,you will know that the joke is on you.Do your simple maths of the current price of crude and Nigeria makes 60% gross earnings on a barrel and if this currently exceeds our daily US dollars demand and still left to save up in our foreign reserves and the money not looted

EgunMogaji:
It simply won't work.

At some point the well that they're getting the dollars from will run dry because we know that we're not earning nearly enough in exports.

I am not sure your pessimism allowed you to give a honest view. With our daily oil output of over 2.1m barrels of oil (fetching Nigeria a whopping over $50m dollars daily!) and rising non oil exports from recent data, sustained anti-corruption fight in public finance, you will soon realize what terrible fate await you if you are one of the unpatriotic speculators.
Government is clearly not sleeping with it's eyes closed and when the full reality of what Kemi Adeosun said last year hits some of the speculators,they will consider suicide or declare bankruptcy.

These are the four factors that will eventually kill the speculators:
1.Rising oil output , price and sales.
2. Rising non oil sector export forex earnings.
3. Transparency and honest management of public finance by fighting corruption.
4. The apparent political will to fight and defeat these unpatriotic speculators.

funmisticqueen:

never u in your life quote me again, u said ijaws are more popular than edo people, blatant lie.I myself am half yoruba, half benin and i know my history well so ur statement has no genesis or revelation. dont let me focus my 'short temper' on u, u will hate yourself if i become rude to you. Ignoramus . This is the reason why some of you become irresponsible men increasing the babymama population, mstcheeeww.:@

I will still ignore your rudeness. Check your facts, Edo isn't even next in rank to Ijaw in terms of popularity in Nigeria so why get yourself worked up over issue you can simply get educated on with a humble spirit. I think this your pride and arrogance is the gift you got from your Bini gene not your Yoruba gene.Your insolence stinks to high heavens. Smh

Is it like MMM shutdown? Because you can't be collecting money from people who applied for the controversial Biafra Passport , Driver's license,Car plate number etc and then close down your offices.

This is an old report some dude is recycling. NBS has released more recent reports after this report.

DickTator1:
You don't like Igbos, but feel petrified when Igbo hint they want their own country.

That's the problem. In Nigeria, don't judge relationship based on what you read online. Igbos are stakeholders in Nigeria, they built up Nigeria along with other Nigerian tribes and won't leave their labour for anyone to enjoy. Nobody can hate a whole tribe and enjoy the peace of mind.

SonOfEl:


Keep deluding yourself. Shameless man.

If shame to you is wishing the same grace and blessings God poured down on the Awolowo household then I will rather be shameless than have a generation like that of your family.
Among 180million Nigerians,a single household is so blessed this way and you are hating.Hate can kill o

funmisticqueen:

ur papa. Fool. Go and read about the bini kingdom, and you say u go to school. Even that ur brother from otuoke, who he epp, even when he was president did he help the niger delta crisis. Arrant nonsense. I don't have ur time today

O my God !! This is the reason some of you ladies never become good wives or mothers because you have short temper and very rude. How will you reasonably support anyone saying a tiny Bini will win a popularity contest against major tribes that are not only far ahead of Bini in popularity and population but even older.For example,historical evidence from Ile Ife proves that the heads of dead Oba of Benin are buried in Ile Ife, which means that Ile Ife is far older than Bini.

SonOfEl:


....and you think you have made a valid statement right? Awo is gone for good. You should be ashamed of yourself. Praising awo, the baby killer and greedy man so sanctimoniously...he never got what he wanted, he was a use-and-dump.

Don't say I didn't warn you o.
That your lineage has never taken a prime position divinely delivered to the Awolowo household may not be unconnected with how you spew lies and hate from generation to generation against an innocent man.
Osibanjo is in the 3rd generation in the Awolowo household,not even second generation,yet the kind of God's grace He abundantly gave the Awolowo household has eluded your own family and from how you have carried on may even extend beyond your own generation to that of your children and grandchildren's generation.
Awolowo was the first leader of Opposition leader in the history of Nigeria and when the first time an incumbent will be defeated in Nigeria's history,the victory landed in the Awolowo household.
You are fighting God if you still won't see the hands of God in the late sage's life.
The Lord that vindicated and compensated Awo will compensate and vindicate me and put you to check.

Yeah, Edo should be number one [/quote]
How can a minority win a popularity contest? Haba,every shoe has size and Edo is even less important than the ijaws in the scheme of things in Nigeria,in the past,edo has always used their relationship with the Yoruba to get favors but now,it seems the elders didn't tell you young ones your correct history.Noone will imagine a sane person saying a tiny minority likeEdo is more popular than Hausa,Yoruba or Igbo in Nigeria!

Awo was the first leader of Opposition in Nigeria and when history was made when an incumbent was defeated by an opposition party, the victory landed in the household of Awolowo without them struggling for it!!
Whoever thinks that is a plain coincidence is being mischievous.
It's a divine arrangement!!!

SonOfEl:


These your awo nonsense is funny....it only in your brown roof region that awo is seen as something. The north used and dumped him (with all his "smartness" because of his partisan and chameleon nature.

The east till today loath him because he indeed proved to them that he was a chameleon.

Osinbajo is Osinbajo.....he political journey so far is okay, and we pray he doesn't renege like awo.

Chill ,young one. You can not approbate and reprobate at the same time. Those who told you this story just want you to inherit the curse that was placed on them because of their evil intention of blocking Awo from the presidency.Even Ojukwu described Awo in positive words let alone someone of less importance in Igbo like your ancestry or lineage.
My point is there for only the wise Igbo person to realize that it's not today that their political leaders have been using their destiny to play ludo game, the Bible says"by their fruits you shall know them", Osibanjo is from the household of Awolowo and it's a divine arrangement that at the most critical point of the life of this nation,the leader to steer the ship was found in the household of Awolowo.My Christian faith teaches me that it's God who appoint rulers. What greater favor could a family so vilified by evil Igbo politicians have gotten? God chose Awolowo's household!! If he truly committed those lies you peddled,our God of Justice won't reward an evil person let alone a household.God just proved that you are all wrong and just vindicated Awo to put you all to shame.
Show me your fruits and the fruits of those who told you these generational evil lies and trust me,none of them is as blessed as the household of Awolowo.
You can be the one to stop the curse on your own lineage because while you are at propagating falsehood against an innocent man,God delivered power in his household even without them struggling for it.
May God bless my household the way he blessed the household of Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo.

What happened to all the official vehicles that NDDC has bought all these years?
The FG should block the purchase of these new vehicles.

It's high time government uses more effective ways to rid the Nigerian society of corruption.Relying entirely on judicial process is clearly not working.If America chose to assassinate Osama Bin Laden instead of arresting him and taking him to trial,then the state must adopt drastic measures including state sponsored assassination of those established to be corrupt instead of allowing the victims of their corruption alone to die.
Why on earth someone steal people's pension and the victims died because they didn't receive the pension yet the thief hides under the slow judicial process,gets bail and continue to enjoy the stolen wealth
All the people who died in the hands of Boko Haram are victims of corruption not victims of Boko Haram because some people stole the money meant for procuring arms for protecting them.
The state has to rethink it's strategy.Efcc is trying and a few judges are trying but they seem just inadequate to kill this monster of corruption

naijaking1:


Are you posterity?

Opakan2:
That's life for you..

Igbos that once carried Nigeria's matter on their heads like gala and lacasera have been reduced to nothing in the scheme of things.

Life na jeje

It's not the ordinary Igbo person who could fabricate those lies.
Those lies were the creation of the mischievous and dangerous politicians of Igbo extraction of that era and that perhaps explains why most of the politicians of that era have lost political relevance in present day Igboland. They have been punished by posterity.

ozoebuka1:
firstly, the descendants of those u listed above are doing better than u think, the fact that u don't know them doesn't prove otherwise. secondly if all the bad things said about awo were false I believe By now, facts would've been laid to vindicate him. if u ask me, he's guilty as charged until proven otherwise By facts and not By propaganda... my opinion tho'

It's he who alleges who must provide the proof.So if Awo had denied all the negative stories against him and no single person could provide the proof of their allegations,it is fair to say that Awo is truly innocent. Another thing is that, these falsehoods didn't emanate from the ordinary Igbo man,it is from the mischievous Igbo politicians who saw Awo as a political threat.
Now to the koko, the fact that political power landed in the household of Awolowo doesn't diminish the successful careers of Awolowo descendants or some of the members of those great men I mentioned. Even his son,Segun Awolowo,who died on his way to defending Awolowo during his trumped up treasonable felony charge,was a successful practicing lawyer as at then. So the symbolic thing is that,Awo who was the rejected stone,derided and ridiculed,became vindicated and his household became the corner piece.That is the lesson I can never miss to bring to your attention.
I look at all the lives of those lying against Awo I know and compared their lives to Awo's life and I suddenly realized that Awo towers far above them in integrity,discipline and dedication to service.
Just mention just one Nigerian politician living or dead that match his brilliance and forthrightness. Please. He was a Spartan and even in death,highly revered and envied. I have read the account of people who worked with him and they all have same thing to say about him,he was a very disciplined and upright man.
That's the fresh air Osibanjo is bringing and God who blessed him with a good boss in Buhari is the same God blessing everything Osibanjo lays his hands on since he started acting as president

ozoebuka1:
you where making small sense until you dropped this sh.it... so, politics is the only measure to know whose successful, and whose grandparents where righteous you bore me bro... goodvibes.

It's not clear to you so let me explain once again.
These are his contemporaries and most of these guys were the ones who oppressed him politically but the fact that despite Awo's suffering in their hands, divine arrangement of power passed over their households and landed in the household of Awolowo.
That's the food for thought.
The hard truth is even that some of the lies against Awo were fabricated against him by some of the people on that list

WINNERMENTALITY:


Your post about divine arrangement is OK for me to say you are demented mentally

You just confirmed my point again.In life, you are what you think and it's out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.
If you can recklessly use profane words,then you are not better than those who lied against Awo and have been divinely punished.
My advice to you is to be fair minded and guide your heart with all diligence.
May God bless your household the way he blessed Awo's household.
For me o,I want better things for myself and everyone I meet. I pray that God will bless my household the way he blessed the household of Awolowo.That even my enemies will bow before my grandchildren and sing the praises of my descendants(Amen)

AntiNigerian:
all I know is that that Afonja is being starved and flogged in hell right now

Thank God you are not dead and I am not sure you plan to visit hell
I think the lesson is not lost on you,if you do well in life,opposition and strife will rise against you but if you hold the faith and kept to your principles,God will vindicate you the way he vindicated Awo.
I sometimes wonder how come it was only Awo among his political contemporaries of the time,had only One wife and he was faithful to his wife till death!!
Awo lived a Spartan life and even 30years after his death,God's divine favor never departed from his household.
Look at his life,lifestyle and fruits of his labor then compare it to even the person that transmitted this lie against Awo to you and you will see the truth.
God compensated the household of Awolowo for his genuine labor and sacrifice to Nigeria

WINNERMENTALITY:

This is Nigeria where every tribe praise their own.. As an Igbo man, I see your hero as a weakling and backstabber.... Nigeria major problem lies in Aburi accord and Awolowo is the third man on that agreement...

If Awo stood on his ground like ojukwu, Nigeria today would have been ridded of tribal,religious and leadership issues but as it stand 170milllion Nigerians are suffering from Awos direct or indirect loyalty and indecision.

I dont expect you to agree but Awo is only celebrated by Yoruba's same as Tinubu...
They are all used and drop.

Only know that Osibanjo can only be acting president but never a full President.

You are repeating the same lies and no amount of repeating those lies is superior to the effect of karma facing us in this case.Awo technically placed a curse on those people who peddled lies against him because of politics.
If you praise or don't"praise" Awolowo because he's not from your tribe is now irrelevant. The reality facing us is that the fruits of Awolowo blossomed while the fruits of those who lied against him withered
I don't have to be from Awo's tribe to see this fact of life. Remember I asked you to mention just one of those Igbo politicians who lied against Awo who his/her descendants are this divinely favored.
I am fully persuaded that if Awo was an Igbo man and had lived honestly the way Awo did and the Yorubas were now the ones who peddled lies against him, the same fate will befall them.
There seems to be a lot of divine arrangement and more than ever,I believe God is now ready to heal our land and restore our posterity.Imagine the same Igbo who peddled lies against Awo even in death are now the one praising one of the descendants of his household
Can you just imagine how suddenly the Igbo are praising an Osibanjo who is from the household of Awolowo
May God bless us and our family the way he has been kind to the Awolowo dynasty.
God punished all his enemies!!

WINNERMENTALITY:


My brother that's how Africa politics is schemed to be..

Obasanjo has a son as a serving representative , ojukwu junior is currently the Chairman of Nnewi north LGA and would be going for house rep after his tenure.
Pls bros what's now too special about Awos

If it's how power in Africa is 'schemed',how come the descendants of those great men of the first republic era now 'politically' impotent?
None of these two people you mentioned suffered as much ridiculous lies in Igboland as much as Awolowo. Even when the great Ikemba described Awo as the best president Nigeria never had,some Igbo politicians didn't see the depth in that admittance by Ikemba and now see what happened to the Awolowo family,God compensated them.Pa Awolowo suffered a great deal.

Also,these men are the third generation descendants of Awolowo and when they were least expecting power,it was transferred to them by a divine arrangement.
Please look at this Awo and do a comparative analysis of this family and their contemporary political families again.
The lesson is that some of these present bad leaders will suffer the same fate as those who lied against Awo.
God is a rewarder of the righteous.
Awo lives on.
