Apologies or not, one thing i know for sure is that Biafra will and can never see the daylight.

Well equiped tenth of thousands of people try it years back, it never came to past not to talk of just unit of persons trying it.

Kanu should just go on his knees and beg Nigerians for forgiveness and move on with his life.

NB: If you quote me wrongly, i will swear on your family. This is just my view and i have right to it. Share your views and let mine be.

bro don't be afraid of mentions, like you said it's your view but this is a forum where people read your opinion on issues and comment do you think seun who put the quote option is daft? if you don't want to be mentioned kindly leave your views in your head no one will ask for it.

mazzi:
we are not talking about soft or hard targets here,we are talking about what made it possible for bokoharam to cordinate an attack in the metropolitan town lilke maidiguri do you know how many villages the might have passed through before entering maidiguri?

now what's this one saying

All armed robbers, petty thieves, kidnappers, fraudsters, etc also deserve respect until found guilty by a competent jurisdiction.

since bokoharam has been reduced to carrying out soft target or pockets of attacks it means they have been greatly weakened and fast running out of ideas unlike before where they can stand face to face with our military collect weapons and claim territories. However this does not mean Bokoharam cannot restrategise to create another major attack, hence the word "technically"

Legion of illiterates abounds this thread

So Muhammadu Victor Buhari is now President of Britain ... He talks more to BBC than he talks to his countrymen


Instead of our President talking to us directly, he takes his yarns to Foreign media, who in turn tell us what our President says

Instead, he sends Mr Lie and Garbage Shehu to feed us expired dogfood, without even showing our collective intelligence some respect by making the lies and silly propaganda a bit plausible

Thank God he even presented the 2016 National Budget to our National Assembly.... I won't be surprised if the 2017 budget is presented to the British Parliament,in order to avoid his being 'misquoted or 'misunderstod'

what exactly did he say that has not already been communicated to the Nigerian public??

Can folks like you who enjoy supporting every lie from APC or PDP just close their mouths and think clearly for once??

you are not making sense if you can't dispute the lie

This man is the most annoying human on Earth
I wish i cud padlock that his stinking mouth n throw away the Keys into the atlantic ocean.

Ok, we agree he is the most annoying human on earth but kindly point out the lies in his update above you know as a non annoying human that you are.

Just read the supposed interview on one of the links the Op provided. The prof only talked about the Kogi and Bayelsa governorship election, he also answered few questions on the judiciary arm of government completely different from what the Op wrote up there.

The military has commenced a major invasion of terrorist camps deep into the Sambisa Forest.

The Acting Director, Army public relations, Col. Sani Usman,
said in a statement on Sunday that the invasion was a combined operation between ground troops and the fighter
pilots of the Nigerian Air Force.

He said that various units of the Army had advanced into the
forest and had cleared many of the terrorists’ camps.
He stated further that the troops rescued some people held
captive by the Boko Haram, arrested some of the insurgents and
destroyed most of their weapons and equipment.

According to him, some women and children recovered were
being treated while 2000 rustled cows were on their way to
Kanwuri. Usman said that the terrorist camps destroyed in the combined operation were located at Shuari, Adembe, Yerimari Kura, Yerimari Gana, Gonin Kurmi, Kore, Mainya Kore, and Lopere.
He added that the Multi-barrel Rocket Launcher Regiment also
destroyed some terrorists’ camps at Dure, Dure Kore, Jokwa,
and others.

Usman said that the troops also destroyed Boko Haram camps
at ‘Bulagaije and Disa, Gwoza Local Government Area, Borno
State and recovered motorcycles, Dane guns and ammunition
apart from those destroyed in the Sambisa operation. The Acting Army Spokesman said that the troops also made
serious discoveries including tunnels of the terrorists, weapons
and equipment.

He said that while several of the insurgents were killed in the
massive operation three soldiers were killed with two others
injured. He said that the advancing troops also cleared some
Improvised Explosive Devices planted along their route by the
insurgents.

Where is the sense in your comment. the commenter you quoted was talking intra-tribal while you went inter-tribal.

oyesjoy:
Am not taking side with anybody, honestly Buhari is interfering with judicial process, a man is not guilty until proven , we are gradually moving into dark age and our foolish youths are clapping for him. A man who does not pay salary as at when due is that not corruption ? Buhari is also corrupt.

where is your brain

Brilliant move by the 8th senate

ARIZONA123:

lolz,.. go hang yourself then.

martineverest:
They are mostly the south easterners in asaba and not the delta igbos(ika and anioma).asaba ppl don't see themselves as ibos... Waiting for them to come to Benin and Warri. That will be the end of ibos in those cities...

Bro, you are 100% correct, am an Ika

Onegai:
Proudly Deltan, married Delta, keeping the bloodlines pure

For those Ika with Igbo names, please check History: our grandparents answered names corresponding to Bini. But by the mid-60s, when Deltans came to Lagos, they didn't want to be a small group and named their children Igbo names and joined Igbo communities. My 104 year old grandmother and Father mapped our family tree and showed me all the names and explained this to me. So with your kids, find old Ika names like Utomi, Irabor, Isioma, Osadebey, Sombiri, Bienose, Arimolo, Onyiwelehim, Ikubor, Mekihien, Nosareme, Eronime, Erumoh, Nwaka, Ahagbulem, Ehimen, Iziegbe, Eterumeh etc and keep our traditions alive and pure.

God bless you....

pleases nlanders. I want to know if Gotv works in Bida, Niger state.
Or please if you're a Gotv dealer drop your contact so I can enquire more from you.
urgently need this info...... thanks

There is a state in Nigeria whose people I find mystifying. That is Delta State in South-South Nigeria. There is something special about the state. One wonders if it is the land that makes the people special or the people that make the land special.
For example, even though there are Ijaw in other states of Nigeria, the Ijaw in Delta are unique. And even though it is only the River Niger that separates the Igbo in Anambra and the Igbo in Delta, the Igbo in Delta are unique. There is a daring spirit that a Deltan possesses that may shock or amaze other people.
The Pidgin English expression “Warri no dey carry last” (Warri never comes last) best describes Delta State. Even though Warri is not the capital of Delta State, it is the major city of Delta. Delta is Warri and Warri is Delta. Indeed Delta never lags behind on any issue – whether positive or negative. Put succinctly, Deltans never do things by halves. It is either they do it fully or they don’t do it at all. When you think of Deltans, you think of Texans.

There is hardly any field of endeavour that one can mention in Nigeria and Delta is not among the top three in it or at least the top five. Delta is among the top three oil-producing states of Nigeria. If one dismisses that as the work of nature, then let us move to education. Annually, Delta is usually among the top three states in terms of the highest number of applicants that apply to institutions of higher learning in Nigeria. In the exams conducted by NECO and WAEC, Delta usually performs well to be among the best.

Delta State has given the world writers like John Pepper Clark, Buchi Emecheta, Ben Okri, Isidore Okpewho; historians like Elizabeth Isichei, artists like Bruce Onobrakpeya, to mention but a few. In sports and entertainment, Delta rules. The first Nigerian that touched a World Cup in football is a Deltan: Nduka Ugbade. In 1985 he captained Nigerian youths to victory in what was then called FIFA Under-16 World Championship, which was later named the FIFA Under-17 World Cup. The second time Nigeria won the cup in 1993, another Deltan (Wilson Oruma) was the captain of the team. The next year when Nigeria’s Super Eagles won the African Cup of Nations, another Deltan (Stephen Keshi) was the captain. Are these feats mere coincidence? Which state
can produce the magical skills of Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, or the sprint skills of Blessing Okagbare? A Deltan (Stephen Keshi) just handed over to another Deltan (Sunday Oliseh) as the coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles. What about Nduka Odizor of the tennis fame?

In acting, can anyone ever forget the Thespian skills of Richard Mofe-Damijo, Justus Esiri, Enebeli Elebuwa, Stella Damasus, etc? In production and directing, Deltans hold sway too. What can one say about Zeb Ejiro, Chico Ejiro, Jeta Amata,
Fred Amata, Zack Amata, Ruke Amata, Opa Williams, etc?
In music, one remembers Omawumi, Dr. Sid, Kefee, Oritsefemi, and the rest. But the part of entertainment that seems to be tailor-made for the Deltans is comedy. And they have made a killing in it, since Ali Baba turned a field that nobody took seriously into a lucrative profession.

Delta people in real life do not look comic or funny. They look every inch serious. They play hard, love hard, work hard, sleep hard. But they can be cheeky. Because of their demonstrative way of speaking, others easily laugh when they speak. Their Pidgin English rolls like music: you want to always hear them speak it. It seems to have been created by them or for them. But why not?
Delta is perhaps the only state where no local language is dominant. Right inside Warri – which is the heartbeat of Delta – Urhobo, Itsekiri and Ijaw all mingle freely, in addition to other Nigerians and foreigners. If the Urhobo man wants to have fruitful communication with the Itsekiri man, then both of them must speak a neutral language, since none of them would accept that the language of the other is superior. Even though English is Nigeria’s official language, it has many rules that even those with university degrees find to adhere to, which leads to
grammatical errors. So Pidgin English became the lingua franca in Delta. Having spoken it for such a long time, the Deltans have personalised it, continuously adding new words and styles to the language. So when a Deltan handles the microphone and talks without any jokes, the audience find the flow of his words interesting and funny. Because Delta people are very demonstrative, expressive, passionate and daring, their mere use of words, facial expressions and gesticulations makes other Nigerians burst into laughter. The Deltans themselves sometimes don’t even understand what is funny
to have made the people laugh. So comedy comes to them naturally. That is why most jokes in Nigeria today seem to be about Akpos the Warri guy.

If you go into banking and finance, they hold the aces. From Mr. Tony Elemelu of the UBA, to Mr. Jim Ovia of Zenith Bank, to Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala of the World Bank, to Mr. Godwin Emefiele of the Central Bank of Nigeria, to Mrs. Cecilia Ibruand to Olorogun O’Tega Emerhor, they stand out.

In business, they are too numerous to name: the Ibru business dynasty (Olorogun Michael Ibru, Sir Alex Ibru, Mr Goodie Ibru), Chief Sonny Odogwu, Deacon Gamaliel Onosode, Senator David Dafinone, Chief Peter Okocha, Chief Newton Jibunoh, etc.
In the media business, they are strong: The Guardian by Ibru, Vanguard by Mr Sam Amuka-Pemu, etc.

In pastoring, the Deltans are not missing: from the Most Rev Nicholas Okoh, Primate of Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion); to Pastor Ayo Joseph Oritsejafor, founder/Senior Pastor of Word of Life Bible Church; to Archbishop Emmanuel Chukwuma of the Enugu Diocese; etc

In politics and national prominence, they are visible: Chief Dennis Osadebay, Chief Edwin Clark, Obi (Prof.) Chike Edozien, Prof Sam Oyovbaire, Mrs. Mariam Babangida, Mr. Felix Ibru, Dr Abel Ubeku, Prof. Pat Utomi, Chief Philip Asiodu, etc.

In the military, they hold sway: Maj.-Gen. David Ejoor, former Chief of Army Staff; Lt. Gen. Alexander Ogomudia, former Chief of Army Staff; Air Marshal Paul Dike, former Chief of Defence Staff; Vice Admiral Dele Ezeoba, former Chief of Naval Staff, etc.

In law, medicine and engineering, like any other field, they shine. The Deltans never lag behind, among Nigerians. Even though I have no kinship with Delta State, some two decades ago, I noticed the spirit of excellence of the Deltans and took an interest in them. Following them closely revealed that there is something striking about the Deltans. Deltans never get anything on a silver platter, yet they excel wherever they are. No matter how few they are in a group, their impact is easily felt. They are neither timid nor shy.
You cannot intimidate them. You cannot easily take them for a ride. Nigerians need to pay more attention to the Deltans to find out what makes them tick. Is it in their genes? Is it in their land? Is it in the air they breathe or in the water they drink or in the food they eat? Do they grow up in a difficult environment
that gives them no other option except to excel or suffer?

Nigerians need to copy the Delta spirit, so that like Warri (Delta), people would start to say positively about Nigeria: “Naija no dey carry last!”

op please tell us about buhari's mal-administration in the following areas

¤ The improvement in power supplies
¤ The new respects and good image Nigeria enjoys now
¤ The seeming rebirth of Nigerian airways
¤ The new attitude of government workers to their jobs
¤ The sanity that has been restored in EFCC and ICPC
¤ The weakness of the bokoharam terrorist group and their exit from areas they've claimed in the past
¤ The agreement by the US government to sell arms to us
¤ The turnaround to resume the purchase of Nigerian oil
¤ The high hope and trust Nigerians have now in NNPC
¤ why oil marketers can no longer hold the country to ransom
......................

to think that this same Okorocha wanted to run for president. he is making a mockery of that seat. what's so wrong in declaring your assets to the public when it's same public that put you there?.

Hidden sources, some sources in a close door meeting, some online comments, in a report.

Nigeria journalists need autoreset.

Man of the century

Jimwalex:
For crying out loud why all this brouhaha again when the statement clearly states that ''... the
verification of the President’s and the Vice
President’s assets was ongoing and that the
forms would be released to the public after
the CCB’s verification.''

you seem to be the only one with working brains on first page.

LoveMachine:
Before you go crowing her check out the BS she said about us. I'm not co-signing the statements from the author but I'm definitely not going to praise someone who paints with a broad stroke to bring shame to the Igbo name.


[size=14pt]Woman Who Denounced Her Nigerian Citizenship To Become Spanish Insults Igbos[/size]


By Igbo General Assembly Spain

Igbo General Assembly (IGA) Spain hereby condemn in strongest terms the series of hate speeches and posts going viral in social media directed towards Igbos in Spain by one Mrs. Helen Mukoro (Helynn Harper). Mrs. Helen Mukoro in her articles posted on facebook and other media outlets accused igbos of bringing bad name to Nigeria.

She wrote that all Nigerians in Spanish jails are Igbos, that Igbos never put off their eyes in quick and dirty money

.

Contrary to her claims, the assembly reiterated that Igbos in Spain and the world at large have always been peaceful, law abiding, blessing and light unto the Nigeria nation and the entire human race. It regretted the dissemination of "malicious and derogatory" rumours which the assembly see as serving solely to involve the tribe in baseless scandal. Mrs Mukoro is not only insensitive, she has displayed her ethnophobia, racial and tribalistic naivety towards Igbos in Spain and the world at large.

IGA is saddened by these articles, some of which are intended to cause harm and to incite hatred, the only aim of which is to implicate the people in supposed infractions that have not been the case. It is surprising that such hateful attack is coming from a woman, from a section of a tribe that believes in making money through prostitution, human trafficking and it's related ritualism. Undoubtedly she is also involved in these nefarious acts.

This same woman claims she is now a lawyer and is contesting for the office of mayor in the Spanish city of Denia and she believes that the best way to run her campaign is by inciting hatred against an ethnic group. Such a person has no place in a democratic world and do not deserve a public office.

The IGBOS have worked hard to build their credibility in the world community. We are outraged that such irresponsible allegations were made by the likes of dubious Helen Mukoro(Helynn Harper). Mukoro tell the people of Denia how she came to Europe and what she has been doing in Padova,Italy before she came to Spain.

It is important for us to separate facts from fiction and point out the numerous discrepancies in the allegations laid against the leadership of the Nigerian mission in Spain by Mrs. Mukoro.

Firstly IGA is not in position to speak for the Embassy, but we must remind Mrs. Mukoro that Nigerian Embassies are not tribal institutions, rather national establishments saddled with the responsibility of catering for the needs of Nigerians abroad and representing Nigeria in the host country. Nigerian Embassy in Spain is not exception to this. In the past three years, Nigerians in Spain have witnessed changes for good in the way the embassy treat Nigerians. Citing reference to the case of a Nigerian who was illegally deported without due process, the embassy compelled Spanish authority to bring him back and till date he still lives in Spain.

Secondly, the case of two Nigerian families who their children were seized by Spanish authority, through the dynamic leadership of her excellency at the embassy they were released and sponsored them back to Nigeria.

Finally, the case of a Nigerian woman who was murdered by her Spanish boyfriend or client in Bilbao, the Embassy stood tough until justice was served.

All the people involved in the three cases above are not of Igbo descent, so how can someone in her right mind say that Nigerian Embassy is favouring one particular ethnic group?

The dissemination of these false allegations is irresponsible and absolute display of stupidity and ignorance, therefore Mrs. Mukoro owe Igbos unconditional apology.

Signed.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you saying the emboed is false?
even the unborn knows that Igbos makeup 95% of Nigerians serving jail terms in the world outside Nigeria.

the igbos general assembly denouncing this statement is like saying Buhari is not the president of Nigeria.
