Okay, I studied the appointment of the new Military leaders and I saw a deliberate movement from his clannish nepotistic tendencies, thanks to southern wailings, Bishop Kukah's brimstones, and many other issues.

Now, this Igwe 1 (One) of nepotism wants to clean up his name and rule this country after bastardizing it to these limits.

Well, these Service Chiefs has plenty to do for him but nothing will blot one speck of criticism that has labeled this administration as the most terrible in our nation's history.

One man, 3 recessions, more bloodlettings, skyrocketing of violent crimes, economic meltdown, systematic marginalization, nepotistic looting, human rights abuse of gigantic proportion, junta in a Democratic system, tribal bigot of all Uwa N'ile, betrayal of Tinubu and Yoruba's.

Lemme just stop, I've wailed too much.

All Presidential Aide on Social Media (NL branch) of the government are absent from this tread, what happened?

THE ABURI ACCORD THAT WOULD HAVE SAVED NIGERIA FROM ALL HER PROBLEMS…( but aborted by the Fulani Oligarchy)

By FEMI ADESINA( current spokesperson to President Buhari)

In December 2009, I was at Aburi, while holidaying in Ghana. We Nigerians call it A-b-u-r-i, but the Ghanaians pronounce it as E-b-r-i. For those who have read widely about the civil war that we fought between 1967 and 1970, Aburi is a significant place. This was what I wrote about Aburi, after returning from that journey:

“Aburi. Beautiful, serene Aburi, set daintily atop a hill. It is home to a botanical garden that is 119 years old. But for us in Nigeria, Aburi goes beyond just nature and its preservation. It is the town where General Yakubu Gowon and Odumegwu Ojukwu met, to try and avert the Nigerian Civil War that lasted between 1967 and 1970. They came out with Aburi Accord, which later broke down. And a shooting war started. You could see the Presidential Lodge on a hill, where the Nigerian leaders had parleyed at the behest of Ghanaian leaders. It all ended in futility.”

As one of the key parties to the Aburi Accord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, returns to mother earth today, it is also apposite to return to Aburi, and look at the letter and the spirit of the accord once again, an agreement that was violated by the Federal side, and which made a bloody internecine war inevitable.
For most part of 1966, the northern part of Nigeria, particularly, had been turned to killing fields. Non-natives, especially Igbos, were killed in thousands. Many fled, many others were displaced. There was complete anarchy in the land. The average Igbo looked up to Lt. Col Odumegwu Ojukwu, military governor of the Eastern Region, to provide leadership and direction. He did not fail. He picked the gauntlet and championed the cause of his people.
By January 1967, the drums of war were loud and clear, reverberating across the length and breadth of Nigeria. But there was a last ditch effort to prevent what was imminent. There was a peace meeting hosted at Aburi, in Ghana, by the then Ghanaian head of state, Gen J. A. Ankrah. At the meeting were Gowon, Ojukwu, all the military governors of the regions, and some top civil servants, both from the Federal side and the Eastern region. The meeting held on January 4 and 5, 1967, and came out with what is popularly known today as the Aburi Accord.
The agenda of the meeting consisted of three crucial issues: (i) Reorganization of the Armed Forces (ii) Constitutional agreement (iii) Issues of displaced persons within Nigeria.

The two-day meeting reached consensus that were acceptable to both sides. Among others, it was resolved that legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government was to remain in the Supreme Military Council (SMC), to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided it is possible for a meeting to be held, and the matter requiring determination must be referred to military governors for their comment and concurrence. What does this mean in simple language? The SMC would run the affairs of the country, but not without consulting the regions as represented by the military governors. This was something akin to federalism, even under a military government.

Other terms of the agreement include that appointments to senior ranks in the police, diplomatic and consular services as well as appointment to superscale posts in the federal civil service and the equivalent posts in the statutory corporations must be approved by the SMC. What does this mean again in simple language? Equity, fairness, true federalism.
Other matters like the holding of an ad hoc constitutional conference, fate of soldiers involved in the January 15, 1966 coup, rehabilitation of displaced persons, etc, were also amicably resolved, and the conferees returned happily to Nigeria. Only for the Federal side to deliver a blow to the solar plexus: the Aburi Accord, Gowon said, was unworkable, and he reneged on all the agreements.

Using the Eastern Nigerian Broadcasting Service, Ojukwu played the tape recording of the proceedings at Aburi repeatedly, to educate the populace on who was playing Judas. Later, he made a broadcast in which he said: “we in the East are anxious to see that our differences are resolved by peaceful means and that Nigeria is preserved as a unit, but it is doubtful, and the world must judge whether Lt. Col Gowon’s attitudes and other exhibitions of his insincerity are something which can lead to a return of normalcy and confidence in the country.

“I must warn all Easterners once again to remain vigilant. The East will never be intimidated, nor will she acquiesce to any form of dictation. It is not our intention to play the aggressor. Nonetheless, it is not our intention to be slaughtered in our beds. We are ready to defend our homeland.”

In a piece I did last December, shortly after Ojukwu passed away, I said he was virtually pushed into war by the infidelity of the Federal side to the Aburi Accord. I still stand by that position. Ojukwu was called ‘warlord’ for many decades, but he was by no means a warmonger. He only did what he needed to do for his people–and for the country.

As his earthly remains are interred today, it is tragic that Nigeria is still submerged in the morass that Ojukwu already identified about 45 years ago. Today, bombs go off like firecrackers in the country. There is agitation for the review of the revenue allocation formula. There are strident calls for the convocation of a sovereign national conference. Even some component parts are threatening to pull out of the federation if anything happened to their ‘son’ who is now in power. Didn’t Ojukwu warn of these landmines ahead? Were all these issues not already settled at Aburi? Foremost journalist and media administrator, Akogun Tola Adeniyi, in a recent media interview, explained the Aburi Accord this way: “Let every region be semi-autonomous and develop at its own level.” Yes, that was the spirit and letter of Aburi, but which sadly became a road not taken. And is that not why we are still suffering today, living in a rickety and decrepit country that can burst at the seams any moment? I tell you, Ojukwu was a prophet, and like most prophets, he had no honour in his own country. Pity. But whether we like it or not, there’s no way we won’t return to Aburi. Willy-nilly. I only hope it will be sooner than later, before Nigeria goes to grief. On Aburi I stand.

Federal Government was perfidious and duplicitous on Aburi. It is still the same way today. That is why as Nigerians, we are most times disillusioned, dismayed, dispirited, dejected and depressed. When will change come to this land? Our hearts are getting weary.
Last December, I wrote that Ojukwu should be buried like a hero. I’m glad at the rites of passage so far, culminating in the interment today. Yes, bury him like a true hero. An icon, an avatar, deserves no less. This generation will surely not see another like Ojukwu. He fought not only for his own people, but for a true federation founded on justice, fair play, equity and rectitude. Unfortunately, he did not see the Nigeria of his dreams. Will we? Adieu the Ikemba, the Eze Igbo Gburugburu. May your soul rest in peace. Ka nkpur’obi gi zue ike n’adukwa.

Hopefully he takes Mason with him.

You're now my Darling for pointing out this fact. Your perspective is on point here.

Before Lampard selects his matchday squad, Mason Mount is sure to start and every other team player will be jostling for the other positions, the goal is suppose to win games not hand people passes, whether deserved or not.

Mason Mount is not our best player, if he had removed that idea, he would have seen how boys will be hustling to do their best to secure his goodwill, but Mason was a big Mount(ain) he couldn't and wouldn't want to see moved.

Mason is English and will never do wrongs to him because he needs a star Englishman at an English big spender like Chelsea.

It's pathetic! And now it has cost him his job, after costing us our happiness in a long while.

Governors (especially in SW/SE/SS) should proscribe herdsmen from their domain for good.

If you leave them freely grazing, you'd think they're peaceful until the hydra they call evil head starts to spring up menacing criminalities in the areas they are found.

Wow!

The dragging continues...

But for those dating/marrying for money, e good but you see someone like Aliko, he's been married 4 times and all divorced him, this relationship of 9yrs crashed and here we are.

No be only money dey keep women o. E plenty. Your goal in life is to continually resolve challenges as they come with women, else you risk losing them.

This man again?

Is like you're the only one with sense on the cyberspace.

Abi na! Side chicks are disgusting to me! If the present woman isn't good, legally divorce her than torturing her with cheating.

[s]I have been reading some psychopathic 'Yoruba' comments regarding this incident and I just laugh... I have also noticed how they label every dissenter 'a Fulani' or 'Hausa slave' - I was also called 'Fulani' and then 'Hausa slave' by same persons for daring to share my own opinion...

I laugh at the hypocritical Yorubas cos when the kasala wey them dey run cast, e go do them like film... Once the war starts, my brother, na only una go fight because me and my people go mind our business.. Even if we go side any party at all, it would be Nigeria cos it's obvious the Yorubas expelling and persecuting Northerners(not only Fulanis) are the same people calling for Oduduwa Republic, which makes it obvious they're intentionally causing crisis to further their own selfish interests.. They sponsored the EndSars protests... It failed woefully. They attempted a second one which was resisted by well-meaning Nigerians. Now they are going about extrajudicially evicting people from their home in gross violation of the constitution.. Maiming, looting and dismembering hapless civilians...

But we are watching.. If they think we will side them, then they've got another think coming...

Cos Nigeria is my country; my allegiance is to Nigeria and I am ready to die for Nigeria.

God bless Nigeria.
Long live Nigeria[/s]!

Copy and Paste no dey tire you.

Stop abusing the great legacy of Larry Tesler.

Hmmm true talk
And what they call law is nothing but lawlessness

They show think of ways to irrigate the Sahel and herd their cattles, they market should be anywhere they want it to be but using gorrill format to ascend and dominate is wrong and unlawful.

Make them back off.

istina:
Can you imagine?
And the fulani herdsmen/ kidnappers/killers/ terrorists have never been arrested not to talk of brought to book.
Nepotism of the highest order

Forget justice, Fulanis are not just above the law, but rather they're the law.

Lolzzz @ dullards that litter about in Nigeria.

I no lie na, see the people we have as leaders, it reflects the larger proportion of people they leader.

Sensible people are rare in our national affairs.

Legend!

I just love Reno because on the days I don't like his nuggets, I eventually find something to like about him on the next ICBM he drops, whether on Politics, Relationships (or Marriages), Social and even Economics.

Baba is well grounded.

Keep enlightening the dullards that litter about in Nigeria.

Happy 47th Reno!

Good morning,

I’ve been thinking and watching on this for few months now, I notice my wife is no longer the damsel I met and dated. She will be 35 in few months, and we had only two kids together, so why she suddenly start looking older than that age is what I don’t know. I’ve seen ladies and colleagues of her age group still killing and rocking it, and going with the trend of fashion and lifestyles, No my wife won’t try to take fashion serious anymore. She will just wear any random cloths, not minding the occasion. You all won’t understand me on this, as In she use to be in line with all these before we had our first child. She’s not going through any stress, we living okay enough to be well fed.
So what’s happening?? Men, do you also feel like this? I mean those married for 5-10yrs and over.



A story of a young man who got married 11yrs ago

Her priorities has changed, she's not drawn to social environment like when she was younger, stop making it a problem (before you justify your cheating on her with it), you're suppose to age together, I wonder why you're in denial of the apparent fact of life.

Kalatium:
Omo the man is an alpha male

Alpha Males don't behave stupidly like this bloke.

Rather than fix his home and finance, he went to bring in another woman.

The woman accepted a co-wife but the idiota wants eject her? Why na?

On Saturday night, I was in a cab and the only thing I recalled about the man sitting next to me was when he told another passenger who had 2kids with her, and her husband that she agree to him marrying another wife.

With the amount of disgust in my head that day, I knew something is wrong in Nigeria.

To be sincere, some people, especially some women have no shame.

I don't blame guys who talk ill about ladies because sometimes the way some ladies behave ehnnnn...


How would sleep with your father-in- law??


We are here still trying yo recover from the stigma placed on good women by women who have affairs with other men, yet this woman was cheating on her husband with her father-in-law??


OMG

This is touching sincerely, women are getting stigmatized because of their fellow women and more are creating room for more stigma to develop.
