In a statement by the office of the Press Secretary, White House on December 16, Obama said he was honoured that Oriola and ten others appointed to serve on the council have decided to serve the country.

“They bring their years of experience and expertise to this Administration, and I look forward to working with them,” Obama stated.
According to White House statement, Oriola, has served as an independent consultant, speaker, and author on human trafficking issues since 2009.

She founded The Entian Story in 2013, a non-profit organization which advocates for survivors of human trafficking and domestic abuse after her personal experience when she relocated to the US from Nigeria.

“In 2009, Ms. Oriola published her book Imprisoned: The Travails of a Trafficked Victim and began producing Imprisoned Show. Ms. Oriola has owned and managed Bukola Braiding and Beauty Supply since 2007. She was a reporter and researcher for Century Media Limited in Lagos, Nigeria from 2003 to 2005. Ms. Oriola received an A.S. from The Polytechnic Ibadan, Oyo.”

She began her journalism career in Nigeria in 2000 at Common Interest Communications, Publishers of the defunct National Interest Newspapers and later joined the defunct New Age Newspaper.

In 2005, Oriola won the Cadbury National Award for Education Reporters and is a fellow of the International Institute for Journalism, Germany.

Responding to her appointment, Oriola who was in Nigeria in September on sensitization campaign against human trafficking, said she was grateful and humbled.

“Please join in thanking God on my behalf. I regard the appointment as an opportunity to do more than I have been doing in advocating against Human Trafficking in the United States and in other parts of the world.”

Now Ogbemudia is claiming superman!
Last time it was adekunle who narrated how he beat back the biafrans along Benin-Ore road, now Ogbemudia says he beat them back inside benin.

I didn't hear him call adekunle or even the other dude that was shot in the buttocks while running away!

Lordave:
So Biafran troops used Chemical weapons as far back as 1968, this fable kinda gives credence to the claim that Igbos are the most industrious and technologically savvy people in Nigeria.

If you don't agree, tell us the country that sold chemical weapons to Biafra.

palladin:
Later dem Ibos will tell us they were massacred like they didn't attempt their worst also. Is Bendel (midwest) part of Biafra land?

What happens to the communities that claims Tompolo swindled them regarding the land sale to the Federal Government?

Comparing Abuja to the village of Milton Keynes is a gross insult. Kindly retract.


What exactly does it mean for a place to ''lack character''? It's one of those terms bandied about that signify little. Washington DC is the US capital. It's a very serene city, not bubbly like NY or LA. Not every city has to be bubbly and congested to be worthy.



Name us ONE city that is an emblem of decency, probity and honesty.



What did you expect? A capital city filled with slums, in order to reflect what you consider to be the ''plight of the people''?



It only ''empties out'' in your head.



There we go again. What foreigners do is always better than what Nigerians do.

You forgot to list Paris, Milan, New York, Rome, Genoa, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston.



Ghana was doing what?



First of all Abuja was not ''copied'' from Brasilia any more than Lagos was 'copied' from London. Just because both cities were purpose-built does not imply that one was ''copied'' from the other. They both have very different masterplans and objectives for their development.



Why don't you start by labelling yourself a thief? Afterall you are living middle class and surfing online while your countrymen are 'starving'. Kindly return all the money you stole to do all that. (Surely you don't think you have the monopoly on blindly labelling other Nigerians 'thieves'?)

You people make me sick. What do you profit from this nonsense?? Just imagine how you guys have turned best buddies to Muslims, all of whom you call terrorists, over the Shiite issue, simply because it reflects badly on the president. Now this, you can't stand a coalition between Nigeria and Muslim countries (even if it is for our own good) because it promotes "Buhari's agenda to Islamise the country". The same president you berate for "ordering the killing of Muslims".

You guys are bloody hypocrites and the darkness in your hearts could overwhelm even the floodlights in Wembly.

omenka:
Rubbish. That is what you and your fellow bigots like ffk would like the people to believe. I bet if this had been Nigeria joining a league of "Christian nations" headed by the US to "fight terrorism", you lot wouldn't think he's "christianising" the country.

You guys make me sick. What you do with your utterances poses even more threat to the security of this country than Boko Haram or any other terror group.

Imagine what you people would have said had Dasuki been a Christian.

Imagine what you would have said had the Shiites been a christian denomination.

What a pack of wolves.

False news

hod898:
Nearly 200,000 Muslims of the Yazidi tribe are fleeing Northern Iraq due to the current atrocities of ISIS. Many of these fugitives are turning to Christianity after seeing the stark contrast in behavior of the members of the two religions, true to the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 7:16-20 that they will know us by our fruit.

The refugees report finding their neighbors turning on them and persecuting them. They see fellow Islamists executing many Christians and Muslims and taking their wives and daughters as slaves or for sexual purposes. One recent convert states, “The kindness and generosity of Christians creates a gap between their faith and Muslims as great as that between earth and sky. While our fellow Muslims betrayed us, the Christians showed us real humanity and love.”

“While our fellow Muslims betrayed us, the Christians showed us real humanity and love.”

Just because it is on video does not mean it cannot be rumor.

[size=13pt]If I had said "Only an Igbo man can designate recorded video evidence a rumor, it would have seemed I was only being antagonisitic . Now you have proven it here.

Whereas your responses here have earned you a lot of disrespect in the eyes of readers anywhere on the planet, you are completely oblivious of that.

In fact, you probably are beaming with smiles on account of the no-bearings-with-logic responses you have put up here.
You see why it may be true that you can't be helped?

Ok then, Keep listening to other people about Igbos (LOL) ==>

Only an ibo man can claim he is being marginalized and is getting the worst deal in Nigeria, but thinks the same Nigerians are jealous of him

Only ibo.

Ha ha ha! Interesting
On point.

ahaz:
op this the more reason I say Nigeria's are jealous of the Igbo's....as far as am concerns they are the most peaceful people in nija..tje northernas that are responsible for nearly fourty thousand deaths im nija you didmt bother to raise such threads regarding how i hated the hausas or too afraid to right about the fulani who has committed murders in every part of nija...but you people only has the guts to hate an igbo man making his money in ur town while u lazy about.
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE.......JELOUSY.

Uchan4u:
The main reason the Igbos are hated by other tribes in Nigeria is their "never say die spirit". They are domineering and can survive in any kind of situation.

jarkata:
I have been pondering over this question for a very long time, even before I got transfer to the east.
The fact still remains dat Ibo people are good people with good mind and they are accommodating.
Their industrious spirit actually boost my morale.
An average Yoruba, isekiri,or urobo man would rather confine or believe in Hausa/fulani man than Ibo man.
Nigeria government should allow this people to have their biafra , Nigeria is not united with one mind since 1914, do you know how many Ibo people have lost their lives in northern Nigeria due to religious crises even b4 d Boko Haram insurgency, burning of churches and killing of Christians in the north. I could remember during my NYSC in yobe state, five of us were posted to d same school ,2 Yorubas ,3 Ibos and one idoma boy called ' bobo' by name. Despite d fact dat d proprietor of the school didn't see the wall of even primary school he instructed d principal to reject d 3 Ibo's, in my mind I said why ,are we not one Nigeria? Since dat time I kept asking myself WHY IBO PEOPLE HAVE MORE HATERS FROM OTHER TRIBES .with d kind of mindset I was having towards Ibo people before now I realized Ibo land is one of the most peaceful land to stay, u hardly experience mayhem and pandemonium we do suffer in some area in Lagos like harm robbery, ' agbero ' problem e.t.c. I have been staying in Aba for d past seven month, there is no presence of govt. here, bad road everywhere even d major federal government road, aba to porthercourt is nothing to right home about. government should extend their tentacles in d level of capital project to the east, dat is why they are clamouring for biafra. though Their state government is also corrupt ,I see no reason why t. orji will spend eight years as a governor in abia and no sign of democracy Atal, he still emerged as a senator again na WA oooo .d fact still remains day, abia state received more allocation from federal govt than many states in south west and north yet no significant improvement here. I don't know of other states in the east. wait first, let assume t.orji becomes d president of Nigeria in 2019 WHAT MIRACLE CAN HE PERFORM.
