Again there are Hausa enclaves in the east from Onitsha all the way to Abakaliki, Okigwe and so on. Ask anybody in the east why there is an Ama Hausa? Again when you want to accuse someone you should first ask how many Yoruba live in the east? Also has any Yoruba ever stood for elective positions in the east and he was not voted? Again History will always say it that at one time a Fulani prince was the first mayor of Enugu he stood for election and was voted by Igbos of NCNC in Enugu for two terms his name is Mallam Umaru Altine.

Forget NCNC that is a long time ago,we will be sending Men and women with Yoruba mother and Igbo fathers to contest all the local Govts by 2023 in the East.

Politics › Many Nigerians Risk Sliding Into Extreme Poverty – Buhari by cocolacec(op): 8:07am On Jul 02, 2020

THE President, Major Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has expressed concern that a large percentage of Nigerians currently live in various stages of poverty.

He said the prospect of the population sliding further into extreme poverty was real.

According to a statement on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the President spoke in a recorded video message to a virtual high-level United Nations’ meeting on trends, options and strategies in poverty eradication across the world.

Buhari said his regime was working hard to reverse the trend.

The President cited the recently developed Economic Sustainability Plan, aimed at stimulating the economy amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as one of the ways his regime intended to reverse the trend.

He said the plan would extend protection to very poor Nigerians and other vulnerable groups through pro-poor spending.

Buhari warned that COVID-19 pandemic had the potentials of reversing decades of progress achieved in the efforts to eradicate poverty globally.

He said that was why his regime was taking steps to revive the nation’s economy in the wake of the pandemic.

You OP will die like a dog for seeking the failure of the noble cause of Biafra. Nnamdi Kanu has not killed any of your family or tribal member so why the hate? Majority of Igbos have rejected Nigeria and they've shown it whole heartedly to the world. From all continents they've lifted up the Biafran flag proudly. What can you little devils do? We're just waiting for the right time before judgement will be brought against Nigeria.
You OP is shameless. Poverty is ravaging you yet all you think of how to stop Biafra. Meanwhile, descendants of raiders from Futa Djallon are enjoying the riches you're suppose to partake from but you've been left to do the dirty job for them. You'll just die for nothing if you persist in attacking those who have no business with you.

Why swear for the op,i think that is unfair.He only stated his opinion.If the biafrans work hard for their nation you can achieve it with the help of allies, if you leave out Niger delta.Yorubas, hausas and Niger Delta are not the problem of the Ibos.
British Govt will not want their company(Nigeria) to disintegrate so other departments (Yorubaland and Niger delta) dont seek succession too.The Op is neither the FG nor British Govt or her agent.

Politics › Rigging Nigeria Before Independence by cocolacec(op): 1:18pm On Jun 30, 2020

A FATHERLAND INTERVIEW - RIGGING NIGERIA
An interview with Harold Smith, an Oxford Graduate, who was recruited by the British Colonial Office and was posted to work in Nigeria. The interview also features Harold Smith’s wife, Mrs Carol Smith.

It followed an interview of Mr. Smith on the BBC Radio 4, by Mike Thomson, on 30th of July 2007 on a programme entitled “Rigging Nigeria”.

A FATHERLAND INTERVIEW – RIGGING NIGERIA (Explained)
This interview was done at the recording studio of Passion TV in London before Harold Smith's death on 3rd January 2011. It has never been broadcast until now. It was initially scheduled to be aired at the “FATHERLAND VISION 2020 CONFERENCE: LOOKING BACK FACING FORWARDS”, which was scheduled for 1 – 3 May 2020, but which was postponed due to Covid-19 pandemic.

As our contribution to the Black Lives Matter cause, in the wake of the public murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, we are releasing this recording to tell the story of sinister events that have wasted the lives of millions in the most populous black country on earth.

Harold Smith and his wife Carol sacrificed a lot for Nigerians and the reputation of the British people and they suffered in consequence.

They did not have to take the stand that they did; they could have kept quiet, as many of us do, and focused on enjoying their lives.

Many Nigerians say we should stop blaming the British government for Nigeria's ills. THEY ARE RIGHT because this interview shows that we should instead be giving them credit for the following:
1. Fake census figures
2. Fake elections
3. Fake Independence
4. Fake Constitution
5. Fake Federalism
6. Fake Union

The only way we can show appreciation is to let every NIGERIAN, every AFRICAN and the entire WORLD know Harold Smith's story, so please be selfless and share this widely.

Politics › The Looming Fiscal Crisis And The Wisdom Of Obafemi Awolowo by cocolacec(op): 10:12am On Jun 30, 2020

By Obadiah Mailafia

IN terms of financial wizardry and sheer genius in economic statecraft, the only master I bow to is the legendary sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. Former Head of State General Yakubu Gowon once observed: “If you know of a man greater than Obafami Awolowo, I would like to meet him.” He is in a position to know. He released Awolowo from Calabar prison in July 1966; making him Minister of Finance and Chairman of the Federal Executive Council.

Through prudent management of cocoa revenues, he invested in human capital, in industry, agriculture and rural development and in basic physical infrastructures. He created several institutions to drive the process of social and economic transformation of the region. Among them were: The Western Nigerian Development Corporation, WNDC; the Finance Corporation; and the Western Nigeria Housing Corporation.

The old West had the best civil service in Africa, if not in the emerging Commonwealth. Economist, lawyer and philosopher-king, Awo did not suffer from the inferiority complex of the inferior minds who call themselves leaders today.

He was able to bring into his inner circle men of distinction such as Simeon Adebo, Rotimi Williams, Ojetunji Aboyade, Samuel Aluko, Hezekiah Oluwasanmi, Banji Akintoye, Sam Ikoku, Anthony Enahoro and Alfred Rewane.

While seeking the counsel of wisemen, he was always master of his own brief. In his own words: “While many men in power and public office are busy carousing in the midst of women of easy virtue and men of low morals, I, as a few others like me, am busy at my desk thinking about the problems of Nigeria and proffering solutions to them. Only the deep can call to the deep.”

Great men are always misunderstood. Our Igbo brethren accuse him of having spread hunger during the Biafran War which led to one million dead, most of them children. They also blame him for the policy of allocating a paltry 20 pounds to all Ndigbo as part of the post-bellum settlement. They also attacked him bitterly for advocating the banning of Okirika, an area of business that is still dominated by Igbo traders to this day.

History has absolved him. He insisted that it was not up to him to feed his adversaries in war so that they would wax stronger to fight him. He also revealed that the 20 pounds policy was a collective ministerial decision rather than that of a single minister. As for Okirika, those who still believe in it should be ready to receive the next consignment of the clothes belonging to Chinese COVID-19 victims rumoured to have been shipped to our shores.

With Awolowo as Finance Minister, Nigeria did not borrow a single dollar from the Washington Institutions, bilateral partners or the international capital markets during 1967-1970. Same goes for the post-war rehabilitation and reconstruction of the war-torn East.

Awolowo was a man of fastidious discipline. The British colonial administrators used to complain that Awolowo would not deign to share a bottle of wine with them. Awo conquered the baser passions to allow himself focus on high and noble goals: “I will, more than ever before, subject myself to severe self-discipline. Only men who are masters of themselves become easily masters of others. Therefore, my thoughts, my tongue and my actions shall be brought under strict control always.”

He also led by example. It is remarkable that he never lived in a government building throughout his career, unless you characterise his three years in Calabar prison as being residency in a “government building”. As Premier of the West, he lived in his own house at Oke-Bola, Ibadan. While serving the Federal Government, he resided in his private house in Apapa. He took financial accountability very seriously.

And most crucially, he always did his homework. Confronted with challenges, he was not one to seek advice from Babalawos or from the crooks that go by the name of “prayer contractors” nowadays. Rather, he would retreat to the inner sanctums of his study: thinking, analysing and developing original solutions. He had this big thing about “Mental Magnitude”.

Himself a philosopher, one of his life-long friends was the Austrian-British philosopher of science, Karl Popper, with whom Awo used to spend some of his vacation at his home in the outskirts of London discussing issues about truth, logic, freedom and the prospects for democracy.

According to the philosopher Akin Makinde, Mental Magnitude derives from a combination of the thinking of Plato, the Roman Stoics and René Descartes. It is, in his words: “A philosophical doctrine which derives from a theory of mind and body, with the assertion that the mental is superior to the physical element of a person, and should take control over the emotions, desires, and actions”.

Mental magnitude demands that we embrace the discipline of thinking while using our mind and rational faculties to solve humanity’s manifold challenges. It is the antithesis of superstition, ignorance, incompetence, solipsism and stupidity. Awo thought deeply through the issues of economic planning, development strategy and policy management; coming up with highly original and creative solutions.

The late sage was a man of supreme confidence. He was not arrogant, although many of his foes misinterpreted his self-confidence as hubris. He did not suffer fools gladly, if truth be told. He was so sure of himself and of his own God-given endowments that he saw himself as inferior to nobody. This is why he was loathed by a Northern Caliphate that was steeped in feudalism and the false mythology of “born-to-rule”.

Addressing the youths recently, one of his protégés, eminent historian Banji Akintoye, reminded us: “Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s success was due to his confidence that the British White rulers of Nigeria were not superior to Nigerians, and that Nigerians can indeed achieve great things…You are much stronger than you think.

ednawande2580:
A short film released by Dubai police detailing how it tailed and arrested a gang of online fraudsters including socialites, Hushpuppi and Woodberry has sparked outrage from many Nigerians on social media.

According to the narrator in the four-minute film released on June 25, the operation which led to the arrest of 12 fraudsters was for about four months.
Six raids were carried out simultaneously while some of them were asleep in their Dubai apartments.

Dubai police was able to track down Hushpuppi and his gang after months of investigating and monitoring their social media activities.

Little did Hushpuppi know that while he was flaunting his luxurious cars, clothings, and other items, Dubai police was taking note of all his activities.

The film narrator stated that fake pages for existing websites were created by the gang to redirect any payments to their bank accounts.

They also hacked corporate emails and sent fake messages to victims, redirecting financial transfer and important documents.

Hushpuppi and his fellow fraudsters have defrauded 1,926,400 victims over the years.

He has since been the topic of discuss, making the No 1 trending topic on Twitter.

Dubai Police arrested two ringleaders of a multi-million dollar cybercrime operation, along with ten of their operatives in a special operation dubbed ‘Fox Hunt 2’.

Raymond Igbalode Abbas, also known as ‘Hushpuppi’, and Olalekan Jacob Ponle aka ‘Woodberry’, along with ten African cybercriminals for offences that were committed outside the UAE.

Dubai Police said the crimes includes money-laundering, cyber fraud, hacking, criminal impersonating, scamming individuals, banking fraud and identity theft.

Major General Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri, assistant commander-in-chief for Criminal Investigation Affairs said the suspects were caught in a series of synchronised raids by six SWAT teams from Dubai Police.

"The operation was carried out in a highly professional manner in terms of planning and execution as well as setting a zero hour to take down all gang members in the same time," Al Mansouri said.

Speaking about the operation's details, Brigadier Jamal Salem Al Jallaf, Director of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) at Dubai Police, said that upon receiving the security intel about an African gang involved in money-laundering and cyber fraud, an investigation team was formed to track down the suspects and arrest them over their illegal activities which targeted bank accounts and credit cards of individuals and companies overseas.

Suleiman I (Ottoman Turkish: سلطان سليمان اول‎ Sultan Süleyman-ı Evvel; Turkish: Birinci Süleyman, Kanunî Sultan Süleyman or Muhteşem Süleyman;[3] 6 November 1494 – 6 September 1566), commonly known as Suleiman the Magnificent in the West and Kanunî Sultan Süleyman (Ottoman Turkish: قانونى سلطان سليمان‎; "Suleiman the Lawgiver" wink

in his realm, was the tenth and longest-reigning Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1520 until his death in 1566.[4]

Under his administration, the Ottoman state ruled over at least 25 million people.
Suleiman succeeded his father as sultan in September 1520 and began his reign with campaigns against the Christian powers in central Europe and the Mediterranean.

Belgrade fell to him in 1521 and Rhodes, long under the rule of the Knights of St. John, in 1522–23. At Mohács, in August 1526, Suleiman broke the military strength of Hungary, with the Hungarian king Louis II losing his life in the battle.

Suleiman became a prominent monarch of 16th-century Europe, presiding over the apex of the Ottoman Empire's economic, military and political power. Suleiman personally led Ottoman armies in conquering the Christian strongholds of Belgrade and Rhodes as well as most of Hungary before his conquests were checked at the Siege of Vienna in 1529.

He annexed much of the Middle East in his conflict with the Safavids and large areas of North Africa as far west as Algeria. Under his rule, the Ottoman fleet dominated the seas from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea and through the Persian Gulf.[5]

At the helm of an expanding empire, Suleiman personally instituted major legislative changes relating to society, education, taxation and criminal law.

His reforms, carried out in conjunction with the empire's chief judicial official Ebussuud Efendi, harmonized the relationship between the two forms of Ottoman law: sultanic (Kanun) and religious (Sharia).[6] He was a distinguished poet and goldsmith; he also became a great patron of culture, overseeing the "Golden" age of the Ottoman Empire in its artistic, literary and architectural development.[7]

Breaking with Ottoman tradition, Suleiman married Hürrem Sultan, a woman from his harem, an Orthodox Christian of Ruthenian origin who converted to Islam, and who became famous in the West by the name Roxelana, purportedly due to her red hair.

Their son Selim II succeeded Suleiman following his death in 1566 after 46 years of rule. Suleiman's other potential heirs, Mehmed and Mustafa, had died; the former had died from smallpox, and the latter had been strangled to death 13 years earlier at the sultan's order.

His other son Bayezid was executed in 1561 on Suleiman's orders, along with Bayezid's four sons, after a rebellion. Although scholars no longer believe that the empire declined after his death,[8] the end of Suleiman's reign is still frequently characterized as a watershed in Ottoman history.

In the decades after Suleiman, the empire began to experience significant political, institutional, and economic changes, a phenomenon often referred to as the Transformation of the Ottoman Empire.[9]
