The part in bold is false. IPPIS is a payroll software that can be easily amended to accomodate any peculiarity. If the allowances are legal and approved by the salaries and wages commission, IPPIS will recongnise and pay. The problem is most of these agencies pay illegal and unapproved allowances and they want to force the AGF to recognise these illegal allowances under IPPIS. It won't work.

IPPIS was designed to combat payroll fraud. Payroll fraud is not limited to ghost workers, it also includes payment of illegal allowances and underpayment of PAYE. Those fighting against IPPIS are fighting to protect the illegal allowances and underpayment of taxes that they enjoy under the current payment system.

aljharem:
Thank you.

Some ignorant people want health workers, lecturers and oil workers to be earning with ministry.

Do ministry workers handle Covid 19, heptisis etc or do they have PhD and train future leaders in all sectors or do they go offshore, drown or experience blowouts, fire hazard and kidnapping. We need to enlighten these enemies ofj progress that call themselves Nigerians.

PROUDIGBO:
Ikpeazu, Ugwuanyi and that thief in Imo are just not what Ndigbo need at this point in time! They are too local and lack good taste, vision and just can't think outside the box!

Heat and dust will be a big problem in that so called 'factory'!

don't bring out the beast in me, am not a man of peace. if you try me you wouldn't see peace.

Anambra International Airport runway, stone base has been completed according to this staff of Craneburg at the site. He is my source at the site. Hopefully he will send more pictures to me later. He complained that they are not allowed to snap the progress of work due to the prying eyes of some pretenders outside the state.

The runway is 3.6km in length and can accommodate jumbo jets and wide body aircrafts. The length is the same as MMIA Lagos and Nnamdi Azikiwe International airport Abuja.

MetaPhysical:
Has Nnamdi Kanu obtained permission from Asari Dokubo before yarning this nonsense?

Dokubo already said Kanu does not speak for Ipob.

You may think that my other effort, "CALABAR IS LIBERATED" was a spontaneous and natural outflow of the feeling of ecstasy of someone on the spot; someone who watched and witnessed the liberation; saw and felt the mysterious handiwork of God passing by. More is the pity that all this had not been filmed. The epic of liberation of our state moved on from the capital city of calabar to the mainland divisions.
This new compendium is a follow-up of how, inspite of the rebel - leader leading us through the " valleys of death, " we defiled him. Our emergence and our survival as a state are not difficult matter to explain. We were nurtured as Christian believers from the start, we had encountered " encircling gloom " cast by lbos on our path ; consequently, and in Christian manner we had put our hands into the palm of God and trusted Him to " lead us on amidst the encircling gloom." He did. We arrived
The rebel - leader had boasted that he fomented the crisis - that he knew by bringing about the crisis he would carve a niche in history for himself.

For us in the south- eastern state, this compendium is our story- call it history if you like; this is our song . it is not one that was fabricated as the arch- rebel did his; it would have been doomed to failure. The links for the anchor and chain for the drama of our liberation were forged "above" That is why, when Gowon, our ship's captain let anchor, it held the strain, rode and blasted all the storms and perfidies of Ojukwu's proposals all of which God disposed!

There are no apologies for this book. what we have all been through is not the sort of matter any generation should ever forget. It maybe by reading this book memories of those who passed on will alert us to the awareness- "There! but for the Grace of God, go I! '' As individuals and as state this is true enough; and I trust you, dear reader, will find reading this book worth your while

South Eastern state of Nigeria, The land of freedom and grace, The land of old Calabar and Ogoja provinces, The home of Annangs, Efiks, Ibibios and Ogojas, The region of early civilizations, Where trade, Christianity and education began.

Southeastern state of Nigeria the land of Cross, Qua Iboe and Opobo Rivers, The boundary begans from Atlantic Ocean, Followed its way to Northern states Bounded in the east by Cameroon Republic, Ended in the west by east central state.

Southeast state of Nigeria the land where virgin forests are abundant, the land of oil palms and timber, the land where rainfall is abundant, where soil is fertile all around, with rich vegetations everywhere.

The mangrove swamp is found in the south, the land of grasses in the upper north, the Cross River sprung from northern side, and meandered southward to Atlantic ocean.

The cross river is the greatest link, the link that counted centuries behind, the people travel up and down, for trade and business of all sorts.

Southeastern state of Nigeria, the home of eleven districts, Abak, Calabar, Eket, Enyong, Ibudu and Ikom, Ikot Ekpene, Ogoja, Opobo, Obubra and uyo, nearly four millions of population count, Calabar is the befitting Capital of southeastern state of Nigeria.

Many things the people have in common, similarities in tradition and custom, with common language, but local dialects, Efik language their lingua franca.


Their occupations are counted many, people of high culture and craftsmanship, they do farming, fishing, trading and hunting, renown teachers, and pastors are many, Doctors, scientists, engineers and lawyers are here.


Our state is where foodstuffs are surplus, yams, plantains, bananas, beans and rice, cocoa yams, cassava and citrus fruits, meat and fishes of all sorts, palm wine and other native drinks, are here to satisfy the needing souls.


Our massive fertile soil is a gift of God, our mineral wealth and many to count, minerals oil in commercial is found, limestones, lead, and zinc in quantum here, this is just to mention a few.

Timber we have enough to spare, rubber estates are counted many, palm oil and kernels beyond the count, cocoa and copra are numbered in , hides and skin and piassava, are among the lot we have in our state.

Nothing to regret in any of our towns, life is normal, free and fair, food is abundant everywhere, hospitality no tongue can tell,women are liberal, men are kind.

Our long associations with the western world had placed us first in everything, we are culture in all respect, we are humble in our ways of life step by step our progress go.

Trade was opened with the Western world, by our fathers centuries ago,slave trade was the foremost trade,palm oil and kernel took the lead.

Cross, Qua Iboe and Opobo rivers, were the channels for all the trades, Calabar and Opobo the important ports,Eket, Ediba and ITU were hinterland port.

Christian churches in the Western world, answered with speed our father call,to bring to us the Bible light, the Gospel light was what they brought.

Scottish missionaries were first to come,1846 was the year they came, Calabar was the port they arrived, they spread with vim the Bible work, cross river banks received their grace.

More missionaries from yonder came, and passed over to Ibibio land, Qua Iboe mission and Methodist church, were founded in Ibeno and Oron respectively, to evangelist their fold in Ibibio land.

Schools and institutions were established, to buttress with speed the bible work, European missionaries and teacher were many, Jamaicas and Sierra-Leone teachers came here, to bring us light of all that kind.

Hope waddell institute in calabar, Methodist institute in Oron, Qua Iboe institute in Etinan, were our Christian institutions of old, where our sons were perfectly trained, in educational and Christian fields, to spread the benefits to other race.

First Nigeria Lawyers came from here, Lawyers Inyang, Ebito, Esin and Ephraim, Dr.Henshaw took the lead in medical fields, many other professionals were to follow.

Many nations came to settle in our land, for trade and business of all kind, Government administration began from here, Calabar was made the capital town of what was then the southern Nigeria.


This can be a proof to all that we took the lead in everything, in trade, Christian, education and government field, we were masters to many that rise, we were kind to everyone and treated all with Godly heart.

Ibo race now shouting from the mountain top, that they are leaders and masters of us all, were then slaves and servants to do our work, their training and education they had from us, Christian religion we gave to them, Good feeding and dressing they learnt from us, No one can deny that genuine truth.


politics is a dirty game they say,the thing I shall hate till end of my life, it makes street boys to be the rulers, slaves and servants to rule their masters, because they can muster the majority, when politics came to Nigeria first, our country was made three regions, our section was eastern region and Ibos were counted in majority, in the first elected eastern house in 1951, professor Eyo ita became the first government leader, his government was toppled by Ibo people because it was led by lboman because lbo were counted in majority.


This brought a big crisis in 1953, sir Clement pleace the then governor, saw clearly the wicked intentions of lbomen, he fought in vain to enthron justice, He was defeated by ibo leaders teaming up, because ibo were counted in majority,

Dr. Azikiwe who was in western Nigeria then, stood but failed in a fair and free election there, was brought and made the government leader, just because he was an iboman and because ibo were counted in majority.


Southern Cameroon which was then in eastern Nigeria saw at once the danger of Ibo menace, Dr. Enderly who was the Cameroon leader, strove with courage to separate his people, and succeeded at last to win their state, for sake Ibos domineering attitude, Nigeria missed southern Cameroon

Apart from anambra and ebonyi no other eastern state has a flyover thats how much they love us

Tranquillity360:
Yoruba revisionist.



After yorubas and hausafulanis massacre south south people,they want to change the narration.

The killing of south south people by yorubas and hausafulanis made Ikweres to deny being Igbo,just to save themselves.




Very soon yorubas will want to change the narration of asaba massacre which they and hausafulanis carried out.

Dedetwo:
Are you willing to wear not to have seen these silly empowerments staged by politicians from parts of Nigeria other than eastern part?

meavox:
The very best plan out there is DISSOLUTION of Nigeria.

Into 4 Federations as is the plan of MNN (Movement for New Nigeria)

** Oduduwa Federation
** Middle Belt Federation
** Lower Niger Federation (SE & SS - they make it CLEAR that the name will be changed by consensus so no problem)
** Arewa Federation

Igboid:
Egypt is too far. Take a look at Igala language. It's basically a Yoruba language with Igbo corruption. The other non Igbo and non Yoruba parts of the language are imprints from Edo and Jukun.
This is common sense.

If the Ebira didn't migrate and separate Igala from Okun people, Igala would have retained touch with Yoruba language changes over time and would by now remain an integral part of Yoruba land.
You don't also need a soothsayer to know that many parts of Ibaji are actually Igalanized Igbo enclaves.
As the Jukuns pushed southwards under pressure from the Caliphate, the Igala pushed Southwards as both refugees and invaders and occupied parts of lands originally inhabited by Igbo speaking aboriginals. What happened in Ibaji, Akpanya and Co, now claimed by Igalas, was about happening in Igbo heartland of Nsukka and Anambra north where we have Igala invaders and refuges now co existing with Igbos.
The history of Nzam and the invasion by General Ajida portrayed this history very well.

History is science and do follow logical sequence.
Telling me Igala fell off from Egypt or Igbo from Israel is irrational and doesn't make sense.

Did you know that Ironsi and Ojukwu were ready to quickly execute the Niger Delta soldiers caught fighting for their liberation while Nzeogwu and other Ironsi's boys that took part in the bloody coup on our democracy were left untouched and even given heroes treatment in detention?

We must not forget so soon, the real perpetrators of hate, discord and bitterness in this country. SS people better wake up and see that the we SS/SE rhetoric is a plot to dominate Niger Delta and take over her resources.

Omoluabi16:
He's simply echoing what the bible said. For those who are crying, you can go argue with malachi 3'10

spiritmasquerad:
No that is true, am sure u speak english and practics many of their cuture but do u calm to be british

Karac:
They call themselves Anioma for a reason. Anioma people feel insulted when you call them Ibo based on the altercations they have had with the South Easterners in the past

poshestmina:
It's just really annoying that they tag Rivers State as Igbo.
ONLY THE IKWERRE PART OF RIVERS IS PARTIALLY IGBO!!!!!

Rivers State is Niger Delta.
There are many tribes, languages and cultures in Rivers State...and just One belong to them doesn't make Rivers State Igbo.

Rivers ,Bayelsa,Delta,Edo,Cross Rivers,Akwa Ibom are South South and Niger Delta.

steppin:
You dodged the question.
IS NZEOGWU AN IGBO MAN?
This is the most difficult question for any Yoruba or Northerner in Nairaland.
If the answer is Yes, problem.
No, problem.
No answer, problem.
Just give up.

Karac:
Tony Elumelu and Jim Ovia are from Delta state
