[b] Your own very link ( http://
www.nairaland.com/1289101/bayelsa-worst-
exam-malpractice-record ) punctures your claim
that people are rushing from Delta to Edo due to
conduciveness for Exams malpractice. It reads:
For the zonal Exam Ethics Golden States, it said
FCT,Yobe, Kano, Abia, Oyo and Edo States ranked
number
one in Exam Ethics Index in their various zones to
emerge the leader in their respective geopolitical
zones.
How come Deltans are rushing to Edo for exam
malpractice opportunity when Edo leads in Exam
Ethics Index in the region to which both states
belong? See your inability to recognize fine details
between the lines rearing its head again?
As per schools derecognized for exam malpractices
Edo does not appear but Anambra (a Middle East
State) had four. The report reads:
The statistics also showed that Bayelsa State has
thehighest number of de-recognised schools(13),
followed by Delta (12), Ondo (eight), Kaduna
(seven),Cross River (seven), Imo (seven), Plateau
(six), Rivers(six) Kogi (five) Lagos (five) Nasarawa
(five), Sokoto(four) and Anambra (four).
On the overall situation on examination
malpractices the same report had this to say:
The 2012 Exam Ethics Report, by the Exam Ethics
Marshals International, has identified Bayelsa,
Sokoto,
Ekiti and Imo, as the first, second, third and fourth
worst states with exam malpractice records.
Edo is absent but a South East State, Imo, features
there. Remember our contest is Edo versus the
entire Middle East?
Are these not confirmatory enough that exam
malpractice culture is far more at home in the
Middle East than in Edo State?
Your claim that the SW emerged the worst in the
South and NW and NC nationally once more
betrays your inability to read between the lines.
The reports actually reads:
It named the North-east geopolitical zone as the
most ethics-friendly zone in 2012 with an EEI of
87.05%.
The North-central zone came second with and EEI
of 84.09%, while South-west came third with EEI of
83.26. South-east, North-west and South-
southemerged fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.
Please read it over again. It is your own referenced
site. Here it is: ( http://
www.nairaland.com/1289101/bayelsa-worst-
exam-malpractice-record ). [/b]

Lol! Yes! Honest mistake on my part. I mistook the EEI for the EMI. For that I accept my mistake.

I mentioned the story of People tripping to Edo from Delta to write Exams to exactly show you that hear say will always be hear say, only stats matters.

Now on the stats:

It would appear that when it suits you, you single out states from SE to compare with Edo, and when it suits you, you compare the entire SE with Edo. You can't have it both ways.

On the EEI, SE ranked higher than SS where Edo belongs. Edo coming first in SS is akin to a fat Person coming first as the slimmest amongst a group
of fat people. The truth remains that he Still fat, regardless.

"It named the North-east geopolitical zone as the
most ethics-friendly zone in 2012 with an EEI of
7.05%
. The North-central zone came second with and EEI
of
84.09%, while South-west came third with EEI of
83.26. South-east, North-west and South-south
emerged fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.
Yobe State emerged the 2012 National Exam Ethics
Golden State with Exam Ethics Index of 89.57%"

A SE Ebonyi was amongst the States in the federation with no case of deregistered centre, Edo wasn't among them, only Anambra and Imo featured high in number of closed centres, Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu didn't.


"highest number of de-recognised schools(13),
followed by Delta (12), Ondo (eight), Kaduna
(seven),
Cross River (seven), Imo (seven), Plateau (six),
Rivers
(six) Kogi (five) Lagos (five) Nasarawa (five),
Sokoto
(four) and Anambra (four). No school was de-
recognised in Taraba, Ebonyi, Borno, Niger,
Adamawa"

This explains why in the greater scheme of things, SE as a zone had the second least Number of closed centres for malpractice, but you dubiously ignored that and instead focused on Anambra and Imo, whose numbers were cumulatively watered down by low numbers of Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi, bearing in mind that Abia is the best performing state in SE and Nigeria in total.

"It indicated that South-south has the highest
number
of de-registered schools (35.1 percent), followed
by
South-west (19.3 per cent), North-central (15.7
percent), North-west (15 percent), South-east
(13.2
percent), and North East (1.7 percent)"

Honest mistakes? Ahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahaha........ ! Ahahahahahahahaha....!
Ahahaha hahahahaha........! Ki ki ki ki ki ki ki ki.......
Do you have any flair for honesty? Rather than confess your were caught in your track of lies and poor comprehension ability which I have been pointing out, you hide under "honest" mistakes! You should have better been more honest by terming it a honest lie or come out clean by accepting poor comprehension as. responsible after obviously searching the dictionary for the meanings of "ethics" as used in the context of the link. Whaaaaaaat?! Biafraudians! You thought I would not open each and every one of those links and read between the lines unlike you?
Your new excuse on why you mentioned Delta-Edo exodus is another face saving volte face. Going by the context of the whole paragraph you were aiming at ridiculing Edo as a miracle centre epicentre. You now claim you merely said so to underscore the reliability of only stats? Was it not after you posted a link with the stats (unknown to you courtesy of poor comprehension) that had Edo leading the SS in EEI that you vomited that trash? If you could not study the stats in your own link before making assertions then how really true is your claim that you rely on only stats and not conjectures based on hearsay?
Our comparison of Edo with the Muddle East is in the sense that no single one of them outdoes Edo on its own. And so far that has been validated by your own stats. I am not trying to have it both ways but for your poor comprehension, you know. Edo, by the stats, remains a very slim person among very fat ones as it topped the chart on overall slimness with all the fat and slim put together.
As long as it is Edo vs Middle East then your theory on schools derecognition would have been valid if Edo had recorded just one case. Yes Edo was not mentioned among the Zero incidence states. But it was equally not mentioned among those with incidences. After all you've interpreting Nzeogwu's words with a similar premise too. Recall you said that since Nzeogwu did not say it verbatim that Igbos perpetrated tribalism in the coup then it must not be logically deduced as such. Same here now. Watered down or watered down, if you find the average closure for Middle East - i.e. adding Anambra's 5 to Imo's 7 and dividing by the five ME states you get 2.4 per state. Edo had zero. So it is.
I can see that, for the fact that it suits your wish right now, you now labour to place Edo in the SS after having been barking like a mad dog that Edo is not a SS state on various NL threads. Find one of such threads below where you argued that Edos are Yorubas and have no cultural similarities of riverine culture, language sameness, etc with the SS and therefore belongs more to the SW than the SS.
https://www.nairaland.com/2603582/­view-biafra-edo-perceptive#38066350
Even on page 9 of this very thread you had already declassified Edo from the SS. Here is your comment:
"Why do you want to hide behind an artificial grouping like SS .......... Edo man why are you hiding behind SS when Igbos in SS are still trumping you there? ............
Yes in School enrollment, both primary, secondary and
Every SE state has a state university and polytechnic and the private university industry here is warming up.
How many does your Edo have? or you want to hide behind SS again?"
But now you've placed Edo in the SS again in quest of your fraudulent attempt to play down her superlative WAEC performance as a single state. Like I said before, you are a monumental fraud walking on four legs. Unrepentant turncoat!
I hope you won't call it a "honest" mistake again?
When it suits him, he claims Edo is a SW state, but when it does not suit his fraudulent narrative he groups Edo with SS. This is reminiscent of their "One-Nigeria" sloganeering when they were benefitting from their friendship with the North but suddenly turned round to " Give us Biafra" when Arewa outdid them. Inconsistent clowns

pazienza:
Isn’t it rather funny that your link reports that
ASUTECH was founded in 1980 and established in
1979? Which comes first between establishing and
founding? That chronological defect alone makes
that claim fraudulent. Wikipedia is open to just any
Tom, Dick and Harry to write on and update.
On the other hand Ambrose Alli (The then governor
of Bendel State) was taken to court by the
Arewnistan-Biafra government of Shagari-Ekweme
(NPN) challenging the right of a state governor to
establish a university since such was
unprecedented as of that moment. Ambrose Alli
floored Shagari-Ekweme in court. Would NPN have
taken him to court if ASUTECH had already been
established and running before then? Find below
one of the numerous links to that.
http://dailypost.ng/2015/02/05/sunny-okoro-anti-
corruption-crusade-buhari-style

Lol! Anyone can post anything anywhere.
See for example:
https://nigerianscholars.com/2015/09/settling-down-in-esut-for-first-year-students.html
The writer claims ESUT is the first state University. His claims doesn't make it true or false.
Okoro Sunny is entitled to his oan opinions not facts!

Here is a quote from AAU official website puting the school establishment at 1981 but it wasn't until 1982 before the school kicked off.

"As
he often stated at different occasions in the
planning stages and the on set of the
University, Prof. Alli was very optimistic that
posterity would justify his many decisions in
the establishment of the University. There
cannot be a better vindication of his optimism
than the fact that the University which he
established as Bendel State University, Ekpoma
in 1981 (which after the creation of Edo State
in 1992 had its name changed to Edo State
University) has gone through an Act passed by
the State House of Assembly and signed into
law by the Executive Governor of Edo State,
Chief Lucky Nosakhare Igbinedion in 1999 been
renamed (Professor) Ambrose Alli University,
Ekpoma, after the founder."
https://www.aauekpoma.edu.ng/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=103&Itemid=172


Ambrose Alli might have fought the FG to permit the establishment of state universities, but the take off of AAU for some reasons was delayed. Hence making AAU not the first state university in Nigeria.


Here is a quote from
ESUT official website:

"It is with delight that I welcome you to the
Enugu State University of Science and
Technology, a top-ranking University of
Technology in Nigeria and indeed the nation's
technological pride.
Established in 1981 as the very first state
University, the University has grown
tremendously, stretching its academic disciplines
and research across six different Schools and
thirty academic departments. ESUT is located at
Agbani in Enugu State, Nigeria and its vision and
mission are not only clearly stated, but very
vigorously pursued"
Prof. Luke O. Anik

Notice it was clearly stated that the school
was established as the first state University.

Still denying the obvious facts even as they get clearer by the day. Do you still need to be schooled anymore that the retrogressive and reactionary Arewanistan-Biafra FG of Shagari-Ekweme's action of sueing Ambrose Alli over a state's right to establish a university logically means that Ambrose Alli pioneered the sponsoring of bill on state owned university and that the Bendel House of Assembly also pioneered the idea and of signing such a bill into law, and that the Bendel State Government was first to approach the NUC for approval and licence for a state university?
Does that therefore not equate to AAU being founded first on account of being the first to have its bill approved by a legislature? A university comes into existence the day it is founded.
Ambrose Alli successful disgraced the Arewanistan-Biafra FG in court to validate the earlier passage of the BENSU (now AAU) bill, and the Biafra state of Anambra copied Bendel immediately, then whose own came first? The originator's or the copy cat's?
Of course Alli Ambrose Alli could not commence the actual building of the structures immediately because the Arewanistan-Biafra FG held Bendel allocation while the litigation lasted, and while in the protocols of getting the refunds and interest your Anambra quickly went ahead to sponsor a similar bill and started building. Yet you are celebrating the false sense of an achievement you made in an uneven field of play where the actual winner was held down by your own biased umpire brother at the centre. Shameful! That was a manifestation of the Biafran attitude of shamelessly celebrating victories and achievements made through dishonest and fraudulent means. That spirit still live in you lots till today.
If not for sheer wickedness, envy and anti-progressivism which defined and still defines Middle Easterners, why would an educated, well read and exposed Ekueme join a relatively illiterate and education-hating Fulani man to resist the establishment of a school? Was Ambrose Alli going to use their salaries as president and vice to fund it or he begged their Arewanistan-Biafra government for financial assistance towards it? Was it on your heads he planned to build it? What the heck was your problem with the man's innocent and masses-oriented decision to build a university? How was the decision supposed to affect you biafrauds negatively? That is how wicked, envious, vindictive and covetous you people are, yet you keep pointing accusing fingers on others who have actually suffered more in your hands. Playing the victim card when they are actually the oppressors and saboteurs and have always partnered with Arewanistan to victimize other Southerners. Hypocrites

tete7000:
Buhari blinked first and the militants have the last laugh. Where are all the special advisers to Buhari on Niger Delta on nairaland advising Buhari to wipe militants from the surface of the earth? APC and Buhari gradually coming back to kowtow Yar'adua/Jonathan solution to militantd' problems in the NigerDelta. The world is ruled by compromise not by force and true justice will have to wait until Jesus returns.

Which yaradua's solution? His massacres in Gbaramatu and Oporoza with the instrumentality of JTF or the amnesty offer which does not fundamentally address the Niger-Delta question in line with Ken Saro Wiwa's demands?

pazienza:
1. This is now bordering on schizophrenia coming from you. When exactly did you show any stats during the course of our discussion? What stats are you talking about? Are you drunk? What finer details do you speak of? What indices?


2. Where is your stats on the number of private owned schools in the East, how exactly did you arrive at this conclusion? Is this part of your regular conjectures concocted to fit an already predetermined conclusion even when facts point differently?

Where is your stat of SE lagging behind overall on school enrollment? Is your head touching?

3. Nzeogwu already made himself clear, his words are also simple, it read "Misguided considerations and incompetence", your schizophrenic mind manufactured that to mean "Igbo coup and Igbo tribalism", how am I supposed to help you with that? am I a psychiatrist?

Of course you are inebriated and bewitched. Have your ouwn stats not proved you wrong so far?
Are you that silly and retarded not to have known that the least WAEC registration figures paraded by Middle East indicates poor enrollment and high drop out incidents?
He apportioned the factors to the regions and the Middle East got misguided considerations on tribal perspective.
"In the North, no. In The South, yes." Do you understand that at all? If you do, then in which part of the South had none of their politicians as a victim of the lopsided killings? Buffon!

pazienza:
Is it not simple? Are you that dense not to figure it out? Perhaps Ibadan operations met Nzeogwu satisfaction to large extent or he didn't feel like talking about it for whatever reason, seeing that he Still talked about the Northern operations, even though it met his expectations. Either way, only Nzeogwu knew why he didn't and he didn't say why he didn't in that interview, only your deranged mind is giving you ideas on what you believe Nzeogwu would have said or implied. It's all in your mind, not on Nzeogwu interview, that very much is obvious.

Still exhibiting stupidity and devil's advocacy. The North had only one point of action which was kaduna over which he was in charge. We are talking about North and South and this imp is trying to change the narrative to North versus Ibadan (Western) Region alone. Pure balloney!
Answer the simple question. If all the South failed his expectation then why did he leave Ibadan off mention?

pazienza:
Ok, I am just seeing this now. Obviously you edited it.

Available information on Wikipedia show that that ASUTECH( ESUT) was established in 1979 and founded in 1980 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enugu_State_University_of_Science_and_Technology ESUT website claim
the school was the first state University and was established in 1981. http://www.esut.edu.ng
Where as AAU was founded in 1981. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambrose_Alli_University

If you have better proof of AAU being first state University in Nigeria, you are yet to tender it here, other than your usual conjectures that you insist must be accepted as the truth, Lol!

What evidence do you have of malpractice thriving more in SE than in Edo or anyother part of Nigeria? Any stat to back this up? Or are we supposed to take you conjectures because you are a bitter Edo man? Actually, the information reaching me is that Edo state has high number of miracle centres and that everyone in Delta is rushing their to make it!
Anyway, on the available info on Exam malpractice,no link could be established between exam malpractice and high performance of states in WAEC. SW has the highest rate of exam malpractice in the South and NW and NC has the highest rate of exam malpractice in the country, yet none of them is leading WAEC stats on
performance.
https://www.nairaland.com/1289101/bayelsa-worst-exam-malpractice-record





No. We can't limit it to Federal government colleges because not all of our children school there. You are only angling for Federal government colleges because you felt Edo did well there. Well, unless you can prove that there are more incidence of exam malpractice in SE than in Edo, the total performance of all schools in the state still remains a better assessment tool than just few Federal government colleges.
Furthermore, there is no evidence whatsoever showing that exam malpractice can't take place in federal government colleges, a colleague who scored in the North informed me that exam malpractice is an institutionalized practice in government schools in the North. The School authorities help the students cheat to encourage them to further their education to tertiary level as most of them show apathy towards tertiary level of education.
Here is a list of top 50 secondary schools in Nigeria by WAEC 2016 performance, SE has many schools there, debunking your lies of SE not having many good private schools.
https://www.myschoolgist.com.ng/ng/best-secondary-schools-in-nigeria-by-waec/

States with high Unity cut off marks show high rate of performance amongst indigenes of such states. The higher the overall performance of indigenes of that state, the higher their cut off marks to ensure they don't exceed their quota number. It also go without saying that states whose indigenes perform poorly would also have low cut off marks to fill in their quota number.
This is common sense, but I guess it's not common these days.


WAEC stat you posted does not take cognizance the state of Origin, but just state of residence. Many Igbos are not resident in SE and so swell up the Number of other regions. If state of Origin rather than that of residence is taken by WAEC like JAMB did before Igbophobic Nigerians got angry and stopped it, SE states would still come up tops in the enrollment figures.
This is JAMB e https://www.nairaland.com/237534/look-going-school-nigeria-statistics nrollment figures over some years before it was stopped.
Note that state of Origin rather than that of residence was used by JAMB, so that an Anambra student in Lagos state that was added to Lagos numbers by WAEC would instead be added to Anambra number by JAMB, notice the big difference it made.

Isn’t it rather funny that your link reports that ASUTECH was founded in 1980 and established in 1979? Which comes first between establishing and founding? That chronological defect alone makes that claim fraudulent. Wikipedia is open to just any Tom, Dick and Harry to write on and update.

Please read it over again. It is your own referenced site. Here it is: (https://www.nairaland.com/1289101/bayelsa-worst-exam-malpractice-record).
How does coming first (NE) and second (NC) in Exams ethics friendliness translate to being the leaders in exam malpractices? How does the South West’s coming third in EEI friendliness translate to being the leader in exam malpractice in the South? You obviously don’t know the meaning of exam ethics. I knew you are so daft and dense at comprehension. But I will help you this time around. Going by the report, the EEI (i.e. abhorrence to exam malpractices) ranking can be correctly interpreted and arranged as follows.
Nationally speaking:
North East - First
North Central – second
South West – third
Middle East – Fourth
North West – Fifth
South – South – Sixth
In the South:
South West – First
Middle – East Second
South –South – Third (This however does not invalidate the thrust of my argument because we are on Edo alone versus the Middle East and Edo is a clearly departure from the General SS trend as already seen).
The SW is well ahead of the Middle East but in your characteristic pursuit of tribal agenda you lied that the SW is the worst in the South. See how unreliable your claims and how poor your analyses could be?
Your claim that there are incidents of organized exam malpractices in Unity Schools is unsubstantiated with any link. It therefore remains a face-saving conjecture by you. On the other hand read this link in which WAEC lays the blame of exam malpractices squarely on private schools and not Unity Schools: http://sunnewsonline.com/waec-blames-private-schools-for-high-rate-of-examination-malpractice/ Therefore I am very much in order to have limited the sample space to Unity Schools in which Edo has always won the gold medal.
On the best 100 schools judged by other factors here http://nigerianfinder.com/top-100-best-secondary-schools-in-nigeria/ Edo alone has five schools while the entire middle east has just two


Your reference to this link https://www.myschoolgist.com.ng/ng/best-secondary-schools-in-nigeria-by-waec/ is a fraudulent diversion or else how does a list showing the best performing 50 schools in 2015 WAEC become same as a list of total number of schools per state? In your warped reasoning we have only 50 secondary schools in Nigeria? You are just a mighty fraud walking on four legs.
In addition to that, on a close study, the list features 8 schools for Edo State alone and 9 for the whole Middle East meaning an average of 1.8 per state in the ME. Your own evidences have always been substantiating my claims even more solidly that I myself do, so need I bother myself getting any more evidences as you demand? See your miserable life? If you had good comprehension ability you would not deliberately be referencing links which only advance your opponent’s position.
Again you claim that high cut off marks are an indication of performing states. Pure rubbish! Even a fool knows that the concept of cut-off marks came into Nigeria courtesy of the phenomenon of more admission seekers than the available spaces in the universities which in turn necessitates the use of cut-off marks to justify the denial of admission to other equally qualified candidates. Same goes for unity schools. That still substantiates my position that the number of Middle Easterners seeking admission to Unity schools are relatively very high on account of relative non-availability of other forms of schools in their home region.
Hear yourself:
“WAEC stat you posted does not take cognizance the state of Origin, but just state of residence. Many Igbos are not resident in SE and so swell up the Number of other regions. If state of Origin rather than that of residence is taken by WAEC like JAMB did before Igbophobic Nigerians got angry and stopped it, SE states would still come up tops in the enrollment figures.

Was the bolded not what I meant when I earlier on said:
“The Middle East is a region of one of the two largest tribes yet in 2006 census came last among the six regions thus her people run away from home to compete for infrastructure and educational facilities with the natives of other regions on account of their region not having anything to offer them”?
You denied it with your strange and preposterous population density theories. Now here you are, returning to your two day old vomit just to get a premise to defend a new lie? So which do we believe now?
You are simply beyond salvage!

"But the other three who were

incompetence and misguided considerations in the
eleventh hour" ~ Nzeogwu



No No, Nzeogwu you are wrong, the coup was an
Igbo coup and failed only in the East and not south,
because it's an Igbo coup! Nzeogwu you must have
it somewhere in your mind that the coup was an
Igbo coup, and since you refused to say it, I, a
bitter pained Edo Igbophobic being having been
given the power of reading minds by Edo wizards
and Witches, had read it from your mind, four
decades after the coup and your death.
Nzeogwu, you implied that the coup was an Igbo
coup and was carried out of tribalism by Igbos.


~ The Lamentations of a Pained Edoid Igbophobic
bitter being, March 2017.
Hehe!

You have refused to answer why Nzeogwu however did not include the Ibadan operation in his specific explanations of the failures in the South as he did for Lagos, Benin and Enugu.
"All the four stationed in the South failed" is poles apart in difference from "The other three stationed in the South failed".

pazienza:
Honestly speaking, I think our discussion had come to an end, as you have nothing new to contribute.
It's almost like a drowning man hanging unto a tree branch( mis interpretation of Nzeogwu plain words) to survive.

It's almost impossible to make him let off the tree branch as that would mean death.

You want the discussion to end so that I'll stop exposing more and more your poor comprehension ability.
You that got carried away by mere headline of a report on WAEC performance statistics and started celebrating your Middle East without first reading between the lines to grasp the finer details which ironically exposed your region as lagging behind in all genuine indices of assessment as I later pointed out to your consternation.
You celebrated leading figures of Unity Schools enrolment for your region when such actually indicates relative non-availability of private and state-owned ones there.
You celebrated a statistical report which finer details expose your zone as the least in overall school enrolment but leading in drop out rate.
Should I therefore be surprised seeing you also harping on Nzeogwu's introductory line in a response without giving any cognizance to the finer details of his explanations?

pazienza:
Lol! Conjectures, conjectures and more conjectures!

"But the other three who were
stationed in the South failed because of
incompetence and misguided considerations in the
eleventh hour".

This was Nzeogwu statement.


Your mis interpretations and extrapolation of it to reach an already pre determined conclusion is at best pathetic.

It was me who said "..... he had a whole brigade to himself and could command it anywhere......But in the East nothing was practically done, they let us down", just to reach a predetermined conclusion, right?

If he was referring to all of the South in his admittance of tribal conception as you would have us believe, then which Yoruba person killed Igbos in Lagos or Ibadan and refused to kill his own fellow Yorubas?
Logical/scientific reasoning is not same as conjecture. Use your dictionary.

pazienza:
Lol! Conjectures, conjectures and more conjectures!

"But the other three who were
stationed in the South failed because of
incompetence and misguided considerations in the
eleventh hour".

This was Nzeogwu statement.


Your mis interpretations and extrapolation of it to reach an already pre determined conclusion is at best pathetic.

There were four points in the South. Nzeogwu in the next lines mentioned only three areas of failure meaning one area was successful - Ibadan.
For the other three areas of the South he then apportioned incompetence and misguided considerations with Lagos getting incompeence while the East got misguided (tribal)considerations.

Still manifesting poor comprehension. Nzeogwu listed the factors of incompetence and misguided considerations for the South and then proceeded to apportion each of the factors to each of the Southern regions specifically.

Hear him:

"The most senior among them was in charge of a whole brigade and had all the excuse and opportunity in the world to mobilize his troops anywhere, anyhow and any time. He did it badly.

In Lagos, even allowing for one or two genuine mistakes, the job was badly done." -----------Note that the full stop here restricts the mention of genuine mistakes (contextual synonym with incompetence) to only the Lagos operation.

Then he continues:

"The Mid-West was never a big problem." ------- meaning it was inconsequential whether any action hapenned there or not.

He continues again:

"But in the East, our major target, nothing practically was done. He and the others let us down.------- Recall that Nzeogwu' began by saying the Southern commander had under him a whole brigade which he could moblize to anywhere he wanted. This clearly means that they deliberately refused to do anything here and not on account of incompetence.
Incompetence can't be an issue where no job is done. Only a job done could be described as badly (incompetently) done or not. Where no job is done the issue of incompetence in doing it does not come in at all. You can't make mistakes in a job you did not do. In fact the cluase "they let us down" means a deliberate betrayal. When people dishonour agreements by mistake it can't be described as a let down. But if it is deliberate, then it is a let down and betrayal. And that was what happened in the Eastern Region hence Nzeogwu describes it as a let down. Use your dictionary.
The above analysis leads therefore to the conclusion that Nzeogwu's ".. in the South, yes" assertion was in reference to the Eastern Region alone.

Also note that Nzeogwu did not mention Ibadan at all in the interview because the job was perfectly done there. That indicates further that he did not generalize over the whole South in his mention of incompetence and misguided considerations.
.
.
.


Verdict:
Kaduna: competence
Ibadan: competence
Lagos: Genuine mistakes (incompetence)
Benin: insignificant
Enugu: No action due to tribal (misguided) considerations.

pazienza:
And then "incompetence and misguided
considerations", became Igbo coup, isn't it?

Lol!

You are a joke!

You have lost steam.
Ejindu: ... .was the coup tribalistic in conception?
Nzeogwu: "In the North, no. In the South, yes.....in the Eastern Region nothing was practically done....they let us down."
Incompetence does not really arise because the same guys were very competent in the killing of Balewa, Akintola, etc in the West.

pazienza:
Still bleating as usual. Nothing new I guess! Lol.

In comprehension and summary it is said that the main thrust of the argument is found at the beginning or end of a piece.
From the very beginning of the response to that question Nzeogwu made it clear that there was tribalism in the Southern execution, then went further to substantiate his claim in the next lines. Read again:

"Ejindu: All right. A lot has been talked and written about the January coup. But how tribalistic was it really in conception and execution?
Nzeogwu: IN THE NORTH, NO. IN THE SOUTH, YES."

Then in the lines that followed he gave the details to substantiate his affirmative stance as regards the South. Why you expected him to repeat the affirmation while giving the details remains a puzzle.
Please which secondary school did you attend?

pazienza:
No. We are talking about conjectures on your part.

Nzeogwu mentioned "Incompetence and misguided considerations", a human being with brain saw "Igbo Coup". Lol

Where exactly in that piece did Nzeogwu call the coup an Igbo coup?

Can you see what your desperation is doing to you?

Hehe!

An intellectually deficient individual like you would obviously not wonder why they left their own region unvisited coupled with the fact that no Igbo politician was killed despite some of them were right in Lagos and could be killed that very night. Nzeogwu started by saying "at the beginning tribal considerations were out of our minds". For him to have stated as such could only mean that tribal considerations later came in thus the reason why they ended up leaving their own Eastern Region unattended to. Why finding it difficult to apply here the philosophy and logic you took in 100 level assuming you ever saw the gates of a university? So logical deductions are the same as conjectures? Biafra education!
You Middle Easterners' dishonesty is disgusting.

legislatively:
nothing like evidence university as it has not been accredited by NUC. You see your list is a bit crappy

is accreditation the same as license award? A university is given licence not accreditation. Accreditation is for courses being offered. It begins to happen after the university has taken off and each time the university adds a new department. An old and already existing university like Unilag may decide to add a new department today and will therefore call on NUC for accreditation of that course. It is of no use engaging you because you don't even know the differences between some fundamental concepts relating to the establishment and administration of tertiary institutions:
Take a look at your blunders
1. A technical college can't be upgraded to a university
2. I have never heard of Uniben, AAU, AP, BIU. Then later, "I know them all as secondary schools"
3. A university that is not accredited can't exist.
I only engage people whom I believe I can learn from. Thanks and bye.

legislatively:
now I see your problem, FSTC is a federal secondary school. Maybe its the "technical college" in in that is confusing you.
Go make your findings, FSTC, its a secondary school. I also attended a unity secondary school, so I know the school.

I would not like to school you for too long. Open these two links and study their contents side by side.

Go make your findings, FSTC, its a secondary school. I also attended a unity secondary school, so I know the school.

You are talking trash. When last was this site updated?
You attended unity school and yet you argue that a technical college can't be upgraded to a university? Then what does upgrading mean?

legislatively:
so why did you list a secondary school as part of the institutions in Edo state?
Which is the institutions listed below:

Lambill
Iyamoh
Ekiadolor

I thought you said you never heard of these schools till now? Then how come you know they are secondary schools?
FYI Ekiadolor was an over 25 years old College of Education upgraded to a university just two years ago. It is on the left hand side when you are departing the outskirts of Benin to Lagos. Edo University was built afresh and completed by the administration of Oshiomnole. You can check google for the ongoing admission. Evidence University (private) was awarded licence three years ago. On your way from Lagos to Abuja it located near the boundary between Edo and Kogi but in Edo. Please do your research well before you argue.

legislatively:
its not any university, its called FSTC uromi and its a federal unity secondary school like FSTC found in almost other States in the country. FSTC, yaba/ FSTC ohanso/ FSTC ijebu mushim etc.

It can't be upgraded to a university, its a secondary school.

Auchi polytechnic was a a technical college upgraded to a polytechnic. FUT Minna was even a teachers college upgraded to a university of technology and not even a university of education. Any institution can be upgraded to any type.

legislatively:
its not any university, its called FSTC uromi and its a federal unity secondary school like FSTC found in almost other States in the country. FSTC, yaba/ FSTC ohanso/ FSTC ijebu mushim etc.

It can't be upgraded to a university, its a secondary school.

You first said it is a federal science technical college. Now you call it a mere secondary school. So secondary school and technical college are synonymous? My own alma matter was a technical college upgraded to a university. So from where did you get you theory that a technical college can't be upgraded to a university?

legislatively:
bros, there's nothing like that. The only thing in uromi is federal science and technical college.

Don't mislead us.

already being upgraded to a full university - a move initiated by the outgone regime.

legislatively:
I'm hearing this for the first time, federal university of science an technology, uromi? Where did that one come from?

It was established by Jonathan.

legislatively:
all these school you are mentioning here sound like glorified secondary schools to me. O have never heard of them

You mean Uniben - 5th in Nigria, Ambrose Alli - First state owned in Nigeria, Federal Polytechnic Auchi - First in Nigeria, Edo State Polytechnic Usen, University of Education Ekiadolor, Benson Idahosa University - First missionary one in Nigeria, Igbinedion University, Federal University of Science and Technology Uromi, the new Edo University - Iyamoh, etc are glorified secondary schools? Do you think they would have got NUC's licence to operate if they were?
You mean you have never heard of UNIBEN, Auchi Poly, AAU Ekpoma at least? You were obviously born and brought up overseas.

pazienza:
Lol! In what world does Misguided translate to tribal? Don't you think you are pushing it? Lol! The desperation is real.

Playing the devil's advocate. Did you ever learn about contextual usage? Nzeogwu even went as far as admitting the Eastern Region was deliberately avoided in the execution despite being their major target. What else do you want as evidence to the tribal intent of the southern wing of the participants?

pazienza:
And here I am, looking for the part of the post where Nzeogwu said the coup was an Igbo coup. You need help.

And here I am wondering why you lack comprehension ability and synthesis. Nzeogwu said that at the initial stage tribal considerations were out of their minds but that at a later stage misguided considerations came in at the south. What do you think "misguided" means in that context in relation to "tribal" used in his preceding statement? Your case is very serious.

pazienza:
Those are non entities and it's an insult mentioning those names when the likes of Okonjo and Okocha are being mentioned. Are you well at all?

Can you see that your minority Edo can not even compete favourably with Anioma, yet you think you can compete with SE?

Can you now see your delusions?

Ironically a nearly 50% of Aniomaland was in Benin province of the defunct Midwestern Region. What happened to logical reasoning?

pazienza:
Please go check 2006 Census figures an see for
yourself that the Middle East is least populated in
Nigeria despite being home to one of the two
largest single tribes.
You need to go back to JS one to learn the
difference between population and population
density. Your explanations above would earn you
an F9 were it an examination.
If Landmass is inconsequential then why trying to
grab the South-South Benue and parts of Kogi into
your Biafra rather than go it alone? Haven't you
ever seen Kanu's map version?
The coup was an Igbo coup not by the composition
of the planners but by the ethnic composition of
the victims.
Who and who were assigned to Adegboyega to kill?
Mention just one.

Nigerian Census figures are manipulated. They are as good as tissue paper.

I'd rather look at stats from JAMB, WAEC as well as Unity school enrollment stats and Colonial population estimations which Ndiigbo had always topped.

No one is trying to grab anyone! Referendum had always been the key word!
But I understand, why you see expansionism in everything, seeing as you come from
a blood sucking empire that her expansionism plans were put on halt by the British.

Why should I listen to what an inconsequential person has to say and not on what the coup plotters themselves had to say?

Your question is irrelevant!

Interview with Major Nzeogwu
By Max Siollun on February 20, 2008

Nzeogwu
Another nugget from Nigerian history. This is the text of Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu’s famous interview with Dennis Ejindu in May 1967. This interview took place just before the start of the civil war. It is probably the most detailed question and answer session with Major Nzeogwu. Enjoy….

Ejindu: I am glad to meet you, Sir. How would you feel if you knew that you are being regarded as a hero?

Nzeogwu: Very pleased naturally. But the truth is that I am not a hero. If there was any famous Major Nzeogwu, I have never heard of him.

Ejindu: It is rumoured that you have just finished writing a book, what is it like?

Nzeogwu: Good gracious! Ninety-nine per cent of all the stories you hear in this country are false. I have not written any book because there was nothing to write about. You can only write about a finished job. It would have been a useful means of warding off boredom though, but one did not do it for the fear that the authorities might seize the papers. However I had enough time to make detailed notes on what happened, and one might use them if in future there was any need to write something.

Ejindu: Before you went into prison, the cloud was so clear above this country that one could see very far into the future. Now that you are out, what do you see?

Nzeogwu: A job very badly done. If I may borrow your metaphor, the atmosphere is admittedly somewhat cloudy. But I don’t think there will be rain. Indeed if you look steadily up you will find that the sun is not yet set and might still peep through. The trouble is that people generally can’t tell which is a rain cloud and which is not, and as a result they tend to be confused. As you know there is too much bitterness at present in the country, and in the past people had imagined that they could conveniently do without one another. But the bitterness will clear in the end and they will find that they are not as self-reliant as they had thought. And they will long to be together…. The .same applies to the Northerners. It may take ten or fifteen years for them to come together again but there is no doubt, as far as I can see, that they will. You see, in this world of imperfection, it is sometimes very difficult to capture the ideal. But we can, at least start with the second best.

Ejindu: What is the second best?

Nzeogwu: A Confederation.

Ejindu: Before I come back to that, may 1 take you back to January, 1966. What exactly happened at Nassarawa (the premier’s residence at Kaduna) on the night of the 14th?

Nzeogwu: No, no, no; don’t ask me anything about that, I don’t want to remember it.

Ejindu: All right. A lot has been talked and written about the January coup. But how tribalistic was it really in conception and execution?

Nzeogwu: In the North, no. In the South, yes. We were five in number, and initially we knew quite clearly what we wanted to do. We had a short list of people who were either undesirable for the future progress of the country or who by their positions at the time had to be sacrificed for peace and stability. Tribal considerations were completely out of our minds at this stage. But we had a set-back in the execution. Both of us in the North did our best. But the other three who were stationed in the South failed because of incompetence and misguided considerations in the eleventh hour. The most senior among them was in charge of a whole brigade and had all the excuse and opportunity in the world to mobilize his troops anywhere, anyhow and any time. He did it badly. In Lagos, even allowing for one or two genuine mistakes, the job was badly done. The Mid-West was never a big problem. But in the East, our major target, nothing practically was done. He and the others let us down.

Ejindu: You must have anticipated that Gen. Ironsi would let you down in the end. Why did you surrender to him the way you did?

Nzeogwu: I was being sensible. The last thing we desired was unnecessary waste of life. If I had stuck to my guns there would have been a civil war, and as the official head of the Army, he would have split the loyalty of my men. Again, you must remember that the British and other foreigners were standing by to help him. Our purpose was to change our country and make it a place we could be proud to call our home, not to wage war.

Ejindu: It has been said that Gen. Ironsi set out to complete your job for you. Was there anything you did not like in his administration?

Nzeogwu: Yes, everything. First he chose the wrong advisers for the work he halfheartedly set out to do. Most of them were either mediocre or absolutely unintelligent. Secondly, he was tribalistic in the appointment of his governors. Thirdly the Decree 34 was unnecessary, even silly in fact.

Ejindu: But you wanted a unitary government?

Nzeogwu: No. Not a unitary government as such. We wanted to see a strong centre. We wanted to cut the country to small pieces, making the centre inevitably strong. We did not want to toy with power, which was what he did.

Ejindu: Tell me, what do you think of him as a soldier?

Nzeogwu: I am afraid I cannot tell you that. But I will say that as a person he was very well liked and as the Supreme Commander, his orders were promptly carried out.

Ejindu: If he joined the Army as a gunner, he must have progressed as a military strategist?

Nzeogwu: Yes, if he had, he could have done so. But he actually joined the Army as a tally-clerk and was a clerk most of the time.

Ejindu: From the present chaos, what type of Nigeria do you envisage?

Nzeogwu: In the first place, secession will be ill-advised, indeed impossible. Even if the East fights a war of secession and wins, it still cannot secede. Personally, I don’t like secession and if this country disintegrates, I shall pack up my things and go. In the present circumstances, confederation is the best answer as a temporary measure. In time, we shall have complete unity. Give this country a confederation and, believe me, in ten or fifteen years the young men will find it intolerable, and will get together to change it. And it is obvious we shall get a confederation or something near it. Nothing will stop that.

Ejindu: Do you think there will be any war?

Nzeogwu: No. Nobody wants to fight. The East which is best equipped and best prepared for war, does not want to attack anybody. The North cannot fight. And Lagos cannot fight now. If they had attacked the East in August or September, they would have had a walk-over. Today, I think they will be ill-advised to try.

Ejindu: An Englishman said to me the other day that the best thing Ojukwu can do is to take over Lagos. Do you think he can do it even if he wanted to?

Nzeogwu: Yes, I think the East is strong enough to do it if they want to. But it will serve no useful purpose. It can only serve to destroy life and property. You see, the effective power does not lie in Lagos but in Kaduna, and if you remove Gowon somebody else will take his place. If you capture the South against the North, all you can achieve is civil war, disintegration and border clashes.

Ejindu: Finally, let me come to the controversy over your release. Much as it has been a popular action you have been released by the east government against the wish of the federal government. What do you say to that?

Nzeogwu: All I can say is that I am happy and grateful to be out. We feel grateful to the Nsukka students for their persistent demand, and to the boys in the barracks for their pressure on the authorities in the east. And to the Nigerian public in general for their concern over our welfare.

Those were the words of one of the very few honest and sincere particpants confirming a tribal execution pattern by the South by Ifeajuna and other Igbos.

pazienza:
What superiority do you speak of? Enugu is Igboland. It doesn't exist in isolation. Your Edo is a minority amongst minorities and are many places behind Igboland in all aspects of development.

WAEC list just came out. Edo is still behind Abia and Anambra!

Here is unity school enrollment stats:
outh East:
Abia – Male (130) Female (130)
Anambra – Male (139) Female (139)
Ebonyi – Male (112) Female (112)
Enugu – Male (134) Female (134)
Imo – Male (138) Female (138)
South South:
Akwa-Ibom – Male (123) Female (123)
Bayelsa – Male (72) Female (72)
Cross-Rivers – Male (97) Female (97)
Delta – Male (131) Female (131)
Edo – Male (127) Female (127)
Rivers – Male (118) Female (118)
South West:
Ekiti – Male (119) Female (119)
Kwara – Male (123) Female (123)
Lagos – Male (133) Female(133)
Ogun – Male (131) Female (131)
Ondo – Male (126) Female (126)
Osun – Male (127) Female (127)
Oyo – Male (127) Female (127)

Edo could only beat Ebonyi in the entire SE

Like I said before, You are no match for Anioma, let alone the entire SE.

By the way, your AAU first state university claim is bogus, considering that it was established in 1981, the same year as Abia state University.
While ESUTH formally known as ASUTECH was founded in 1980!

You obviously lack knowledge of the difference between founding and establishing. AAU was built and began to function before ESUTECH. Go figure.
On the WAEC statistics: Performance figures across all categories of schools are generally not a true reflection of the intellectual prowess of the states due to examination malpractice culture which is known to thrive briskly in private secondary schools of the SE. A more accurate idea can however be got by limiting the sample space to Federal Government Colleges which are known for zero tolerance to exam malpractices. Find Below the WAEC 2016 FGC statistics in which Edo leads the pack........... Punch Newspaper.


Performance register for the 104 Federal Government Colleges:
1. Federal Government Girls’ College, Benin, outshined the others with 230 of its 232 i.e. 99.14% pupils getting the university admission yardstick.
2. Federal Government Girls’ College, Kazaure came second with 98.10%
3. Federal Government College, Rubochi, came third with its 146 candidates out of 156, i.e. 93.59%, beating the university admission yardstick
4. The Federal Government Academy, Suleja; FGC, Okigwe, and the FGC, Nise, came fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.
5. FGC, Ijanikin, which occupied the seventh position in the rankings, emerged the best in the state with 357 out of its 387 candidates - 92.25%
6. Occupying the eighth, ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th positions are the FGC, Okposi; FGC, Ikole-Ekiti; FGGC Efon-Alaye; FGGC, Minjibir, and the FGC, Jos, in that order.

Unity schools are not the only schools in existence, so your use of their statistics alone is misleading. States with high Unity Schools enrollment obviously lack alternative schools relative to others. Moreover it is the total number of enrollment for WAEC that can be relied on to know which state has the least incidents of drop out along the way. Find below the 2016 WAEC enrollment figures for some states:
WAEC Registration 2016:

State Registered Candidates
Lagos 141, 963
Oyo 78,896
Ogun 75,944
Kano 62,511
Edo 62, 327
Abia (SE) 52, 801
Anambra(SE) 46, 385
From the above it is clear that most students in the Middle East drop out before getting to SS3.
It also lends credence to the credibility of 2016 census in which the MIiddle East came out least.

pazienza:
Enugu.

1. University of Nigeria ( first indigenous University in Nigeria, produced the likes of Dr Benneth Omalu, renowned professor of Pathology)

2. Enugu state university of Science and Technology

3. Caritas University

4. George Okoye University

6. Institute of Management and technology

7. Osisatech Polytechnic


Anambra

1.Nnamdi Azikiwe University

2. Odumegwu Ojukwu University

3.Tansian University

4.Madonna University

5. Paul University

Based on the above, Enugu, the most educationally developed state and Eldorado of the Middle East and also the national capital of the proposed Biafra Republic has:
1. UNN
2. ESUTECH
3. Caritas
4. Renaissance
5. Geoffrey Okoye
6. IMT
7. Osisa
Only UNN and ESUTECH are first generation.

Edo State has:
1. UNIBEN
2. AAU
3. BIU
4. AP
5. Midwestern
6. Usen
7. Ogwa
8. Lambill
9. Okada
10. Uromi
11. Iyamoh
12. Ekiadolor
13. Wellspring University
I don't even want to add B/C Technical college, B/C Nursing Institute, and others.
Four of them are first generation.

Now be the judge yourself as to which is superior to the other between Edo and the Middle East's best state of Enugu. QED!

pazienza:
Zik did all that? Wow! Zik must have been a super human with Seven heads and 1 billion standing army in his time on earth. Zik the super human that forced one Nigeria on Arewa-oduanistanis and their Edo conspirators, Ironsi the God who from the grave made Gowon to dissolve the regions, and created dysfunctional entities called states. Ironsi as a God also from the grave, possessed the bodies of Yolobas and Edos who supported Gowon every move, including hatching out the indigenization plan that handed the Nigerian private and public sectors to Yolobas which their ran bankrupt with their incompetence and nepotism, setting Nigeria perfectly up for the recession of early 80's.

Choi, Zik and Ironsi, Gods on earth and in grave! Lol! See delusions.

They( Eastern minorities) had to open up the shoreline or face the firing squad of Nigerian soldiers. It's either they opened it up, or the Asaba treatment be meted on them.

Ojukwu was always open for plebiscite on Eastern minorities areas, if Gowon felt there was enough anti Igbos minorities to win the plebiscite in favour of Nigeria, he would have taken the option of UN supervised plebiscite Ojukwu offered to him. He didn't, and we know why.

Lol! No SE governor supports Pro Biafran rallies either, but they nevertheless hold in PH and SE, including Asaba. You are the pained delusional Edo one.

Zik did all that with British support which needed only one dissenter to retain their grip on Nigeria.

The early 80s recession was caused by the profligacy and misrule by the Arewanistan-Biafra partnership government of Shagari-Ekweme which mirrored the earlier Balewa-Zik hegemony that equally mismanaged the economy, rigged censuses and elections massively in the first republic, caused simultaneous riots in Okrika, Tiv land and Yorubaland.
If Ojukwu so genuinely believed in plebiscites as you would have us beliebe, then why didn't he conduct a plebiscite for Ijaws to determine their opinion on NDR before he attacked Isaac Boro? Why could he not advise Ironsi to go for plebiscite before altering the constitution? Plebiscite apostle indeed!

On the other hand no Middle East governor has openly come out to condemn the hosting of pro-biafra rallies in their domain as did Wike and Okowa, and none has ever banned same in their states as did Wike. None has ever visited a Northern Emir to pledge loyalty to One-Nigeria as did Wike recently in Sokoto. You are the Sad Middle Easterner.

pazienza:
Lol! Enugu as much, if not more higher institutions of learning than Edo.

You are not mentally stable. SE is densely populated, it has just enough population for its landmass. First you say SE is deserted, I showed you that it is more densely populated region that most Nigerian regions, now you have shifted your little brain to landmass, as if landmass had helped Afghanistan or Kazakhstan to better the likes of Austria, Switzerland and Belgium.

No independent non biased analyst had ever branded the 1966 coup an Igbo coup, not even the Yoruba plotter amongst them like Ademoyega had done such.

Only frustrated Edo and Yoloba people do so, for obvious reasons.

Yes,Igbos had mastered the act of peaceful resolution of conflicts, something your expansionist Edo ancestors couldn't.

Unfortunately you have refused to substate your claim of Enugu's superiority to Edo as per higher institutions number. Edo has as follows:
1. University of Benin
2. Ambrose Alli University (The first state-owned university in Nigeria and the establishment of which was fiercely resisted by the Hausa-Igbo FG of Shagari and Ekweme.
3. Federal Polytechnic Auchi (The first in Nigeria)
4. Benson Idahosa University - One of the first private universities in Nigeria and also the first missionary one.
5. Edo University, Iyamoh - making Edo the first state to run multiple state-owned universities as obtains in the USA.
6. Ekiadolor University of Education
7. Samuel Adegboyega University, Ogwa
8. Midwestern University, Ehor
9. Evidence University, Lambill
10. Edo State Polytechnic Usen.
11. Wellspring University Benin City.
Now provide a similar list of tertiary institutions in the Forsaken Enugu or the entire Sad Middle East.

Please go check 2006 Census figures an see for yourself that the Middle East is least populated in Nigeria despite being home to one of the two largest single tribes.
You need to go back to JS one to learn the difference between population and population density. Your explanations above would earn you an F9 were it an examination.
If Landmass is inconsequential then why trying to grab the South-South Benue and parts of Kogi into your Biafra rather than go it alone? Haven't you ever seen Kanu's map version?
The coup was an Igbo coup not by the composition of the planners but by the ethnic composition of the victims.
Who and who were assigned to Adegboyega to kill? Mention just one.

pazienza:
You can hit your Igbo head against the rock if
you are so pained of the existence of the SS. I
guess illustrious SS sons like AIG Imokhuede,
Amaju Pinnick who just won CAF seat, Enahoro
who pioneered independence motion, the Imafidons,
Ita Giwa, PA Imodu, Sagay, Late Amodu Shuaibu,
the owner of Channels TV - are Edo son, Ben Bruce
the owner of Sylverbird TV, Dokoesi - another Edo
son owning a TV station, and countless others
from the SS are igboids?

Nobody know these entities outside Edo state. Lol! How can you compare these people with just Okonjo? Forget about Okocha, that will be overkilling it.

And yes, those names I mentioned are proud Igbos people, you can go and do the needful, if you feel like.

Your claim that Nobody Knows these people outside Edo suggests that Ita Giwa, Ben Bruce and Sagay in the list are known only in Edo and not even in their own Cross River, Bayelsa and Delta States respectively. You have goofed and disgraced yourself. No one knows Enahoro, Dokpesi, the owner of Channels TV outside Edo even though these TV stations started and have their headquarters in Lagos?
You are confused.
