EastGold:
Nigeria?

Say it as it is, Easterners celebrate mediocre in government.

But they will be the one calling for good governance at the federal level

Are you willing to wear not to have seen these silly empowerments staged by politicians from parts of Nigeria other than eastern part?

That was an act of aggression committed long before the Nigerian Forces dispatched troops to retake Biafra .

You Igbos keep playing the victim when you were the aggressors from the very beginning.

You deserved the punishment you got as you were the ones that touched the tiger's tail.

Another foolish crap from a so-called Nigerian. Most Nigerians do not even know that date Nigeria\Biafra war started. What drives most of the goons is simply tribalism.

IamWonderful:
No one integrate igbos, Gowon fought against biafra not because they want another country but because they want to take over Lagos the Nigeria capital then, initially Ojukwu had lot of pranks and scam in his sleeves, he have seen the viability of kagos, because he schooled there, he knows Lagos will be bigger than all the Eastern region, so he wanted to take over Lagos that was why Gowon waked him up from his delusion, if Ojukwu is genuine, he shouldn't have accepted shagari's pardon and also run under the Northern party, Ojukwu was just filled with bitterness and hatred, he thought because he and Gowon were the same rank, he should have been the military head of state rather than Gowon.

The above post is a display of inherent ignorance. There would not have been a war if the defunct western region of Nigeria had opted to secede. Therefore Lagos never factored in what precipitated Nigeria\Biafra war.

Esan are not benin but benin controlled their territory in the past.

The Oba of Benin never controlled any area beyond the boundary of Benin and Igbanke. Any Oba who attempted anything southeast-ward regretted such dream. Agbo is still loaded with captured Benin people.

The Rivers State Police Command has rubbished reports that the armed operatives who attempted to arrest the former Managing Director of NDDC, Joi Nunieh were not sanctioned by the Inspector General of Police and the Commissioner of Police in Rivers State.

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike had shortly after rescuing Nunieh claimed in an interview that the officers could not show a warrant for her arrest neither was the police hierarchy aware of their presence.

But the Rivers Police Command in a statement released by SP Nnamdi Omoni, the Public Relations Officer, said the operatives were on legitimate duty.


Omoni confirmed that the personnel at Nunieh’s residence were from the IGP Monitoring Team in Abuja and were in Port Harcourt on official assignment.

NEWS: Reps order arrest of NDDC boss, Pondei
The statement added that before the officers proceeded to her residence, they observed due protocols and requisite standard operating procedures, including going through the processes of arriving themselves at the Headquarters with their Investigation Activities duly signed and approved by the Commissioner of Police, CP Joseph Mukan.

“The attention of the Rivers State Police Command has been drawn to an Online Publication, credited to Vanguardngr.com, where it was erroneously reported that ‘the MOPOL presence at the residence of Joi Nunieh was not the directive of the Command’.


“Ordinarily, such a phantom report should have been ignored but due to the potential danger inherent in keeping silent, the Command is minded to react and state the true position as follows: That they went to her (Nunieh’s) residence with Mobile Policemen, suggesting of course that they were there on official duty and not illegal duty as speculated.

“That, the reference indicating that the Officers were there without the directive of the CP nor the IGP is preposterous and most unfortunate, hence should be discountenanced and disregarded,” the statement read.

Lalasticlala

Nigeria is a police state without iota of rule of law. Whether fools were from heaven or the so-called IGP crap in Abuja, no reasonable and intelligently managed state police outfit will attempt to arrest a lady without court issued arrest warrant and definitely not with team of armed riot policemen. Sometimes I wonder if there is no single soul in the zoo called Nigeria that can initiate a civilized change.

michoim:
Some names like JJ Okocha, Genevieve,Elumelu, Godwin Emefiele are not complete Igbos. They mixed with Niger Delta. And some names like Former Imo state governor Okorocha , Ken Nnamani are missing while Nnamdi Kanu is negatively influential. My take though...stand to be corrected.

You are one of the reasons Nigeria is regarded as a shithole. I heard that Urhobo, Itsekiri and Ijo are mixed with Niger Delta and are not complete Urhobo, Itsekiri and Ijo.

martineverest:

The roar of a tiger is more powerful and aggressive than that of lion. A lion's roar though powerful sounds like a dying whale. (I am not talking about distance but the sheer monstrosity of the roar)

Even in the movie "Lion King" the roar of a tiger was used for the lion's.

You can watch videos about it and hear for your self .

The bolded is mere subjective. Again, measured on what scale? I guess you were writing on what you thought. Nigerians and facts seem to oppose each other. If I watch a video will always leave on subjective lane. I need a scale to conclude. The most records indicated Lion's roar travel up to 5 mile and farther than any big cat.

Mercy Chinwo is a Nigerian gospel singer, a talented composer and songwriter. She was the winner of the Nigerian Idol Season 2 in 2012 and named the winner in three categories – Africa Gospel New Artiste of the Year, Africa Gospel Female Artiste of the Year and Africa Gospel Song of the Year (Excess Love).

Mercy is from Rivers State, Her mum is from Akwa-Ibom state... The last time we checked Rivers State is not an Igbo State.

The above post reeks of idiocy. This is one among numerous reasons to disintegrate the shithole called Nigeria. I shall be completely drunk to regard the above poster as a compatriot.

I swear, 5 Yoruba names will beat all these nonsense they wrote.

I won't even go to religion or Activitism

Again, influential people kill them there

MarriagebyIgbo,

You simply cannot help yourself not engage in silly tribalism. The poster did not remotely stopped you from posting the silly 5 Yari.ba peeps who could have beat the poster's list before now. If you are not visionary, please stop your tribal irredentism when other people show their inventive genius.

With coronavirus infections spreading fast and COVID-19 deaths climbing yet again, most Americans say the country is not ready to send children back to school this fall — and they emphatically reject every aspect of President Trump’s new effort to force public schools to fully reopen, according to the latest Yahoo News/YouGov poll.

The survey, which was conducted between July 11 and 14, found a remarkable consensus on the issue of school reopenings that transcended party lines, geographic boundaries and demographic divisions.


A full 63 percent of Americans say Trump should not be pressuring schools to reopen. Only 25 percent say he should continue his push. At the same time, a mere 30 percent of Americans believe the Trump Administration is doing everything it can to stop the coronavirus.

Instead, more than three-quarters (77 percent) insist that America’s priority should be to limit the spread of the virus, even if it means students can’t physically return to schools; just 23 percent think America’s priority should be to fully reopen schools this fall, even if it increases the risk to public health.

Majorities of Democrats (95 percent), independents (72 percent), Republicans (58 percent) and parents of K-12 students (72 percent) agreed that reopening schools should take a backseat to public health. The only category of Americans who disagreed, by a slim 51 percent to 49 percent margin, was those who say they intend to vote for Trump in November.

Likewise, fewer than one quarter of Americans (23 percent) favor a return to in-person classes for children in places where there are large numbers of new COVID-19 cases. A majority (52 percent) are opposed. Again, the only group that wants schools to fully reopen in hotspots (45 percent to 29 percent) are self-described Trump voters. Even Republicans are evenly divided on the issue, with 39 percent saying yes and 38 percent saying no.



Reports have suggested that Trump launched his back-to-school offensive after advisors pitched it as an effective wedge issue that would “play well with the female and suburban voters the president needs to remain in office.”

There is little evidence, however, that the tactic is working.

Trump has blasted as “very tough” and “very impractical” the CDC’s guidelines on school reopening, which recommend staggered class schedules and call for schools to intensively clean surfaces, ensure proper ventilation, spread out desks and provide isolation rooms for sick students. Yet according to the Yahoo News/YouGov poll, only 9 percent of Americans think that the CDC’s guidelines are “too strict.“ Seventy-nine percent think they’re either “about right” or “not strict enough.”

Trump has said that Democrats want to keep schools closed “for political reasons, not for health reasons.” Americans believe the opposite, with 62 percent citing health and only 38 percent citing politics as the reason some officials are reluctant to reopen schools.

Trump has also threatened to withhold federal funding from school districts that refuse to fully reopen. Only 19 percent of Americans would support this.

Overall, just 41 percent of voters approve of Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic; 57 percent disapprove. Huge majorities think Trump should be doing things he has resisted doing, including wearing a face mask to set an example (75 percent); encouraging others to cover their faces as well (78 percent); and meeting regularly with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert (61 percent). A plurality (44 percent) say the COVID-19 situation would be better right now if Joe Biden were president. Just 30 percent say it would be worse.

If Trump wants to alter perceptions of his pandemic response, he could start by pulling a 180 on school funding. A full 67 percent of Americans favor increasing federal aid to public schools to keep students and staff safe from the coronavirus this fall; only 16 percent are opposed. The policy is even popular with Trump voters, who back it 59 percent to 24 percent.

In March, less than one percent of Congress’s pandemic relief package went to K-12 schools. In May, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called a $3 trillion, House-approved relief bill containing K-12 money “dead on arrival.” More recently, McConnell has said the Senate is likely to consider an additional relief package that would prioritize money for schools. A report Wednesday in the Washington Post indicated that the White House and Senate Republicans are developing plans to prod schools to reopen by attaching incentives or conditions to tens of billions of dollars of new aid as part of the next relief.

By this silly argument, if it takes 20 years to stop Wuhan virus, schools should remain closed for 20 years. I now realize that Liberal wings in USA and Democratic Party are goons. It takes time, sometimes years, to develop antibody or vaccine for virus. The best to do to practice the measures that will slow the spread not close down schools and business. Wuhan virus, like other before it, shall years to combat.

Foolishness still trails most Africans regardless the level of so-called education. Please edit this idiotic thread to reflect the real African. Black is not synonymous to African. Change it to "Anambra Govt Congratulates Dr. Egbu - First African, Nigerian or even Anambrian Vice Chancellor of A British University". Why are most goons from Africa intoxicated with label given to slaves by the idiotic colonialists?

How long have this Joy Nunieh worked as a civil servant or entrepreneur to own such a plush compound with numerous vehicles? Nigerians should focus on the real subject matter not idiotic shenanigans.

APCNig:
There will never ever be that. Presidency oooo, you wont get. Restructuring oooo, you wont get. As for Biafra Republic of Drugs, that will be after the coming of Jesus.

The above post came from a low level intellectualism.

MetaPhysical:
South-east Governors

The truth is that no vice president has ever become president. Anybody thinking that becoming a vice president will automatically translate to becoming a president may be referring to another country, not Nigeria. Even when Jonathan eventually became president, he was an executive president; we went into the election as an incumbent for two years. Once you have that in mind, you may want to think about stretching your luck or optimism so far. We are looking at eight years and don’t forget that PDP has never made any commitment to Ndigbo since 1999.

In 2015, they didn’t hesitate to zone to the North; so, why can’t they now say they have zoned to the South-east in 2027? They are afraid to make commitment because they made the decision that no Igbo man will become president until 150 years. That is the original policy of the PDP. If people don’t know, let me say it again that president Obasanjo called me into his study in April 2003 and we discussed so many issues. One of the ones that I took away with a heavy heart was when he told me that Nigeria is a very tolerant country for allowing someone from an area that wanted to break away to become vice president barely nine years after the way.

Should anything had happened to Shehu Shagari, Alex Ekwueme would have become president and that it could not happen in other countries. Now, look at me, Chief Okorie, you went and brought someone who led the secessionist programme to become the presidential candidate with all entreaties – by doing that, you have committed a political sin. The moment you did that, your party APGA became a national security issue.

So, every problem in APGA emanated from that very discussion. Then he asked me this rhetorical question: do you know that it took 150 years before somebody from southern part of America became the president of America after the American civil war. I said yes, the person is Jimmy Carter and he is still alive. He said okay, you are conversant with your history; so you should be able to know where your people belong.

This was Obasanjo and he was talking about the script of the PDP and our people don’t see it. So, if I am alive and know what I know and allow myself die and be buried with it, even God will not accept me in Paradise.


Have you divulged this information to your people at any forum?

I have done town hall meetings in many parts of the country. There is hardly any Igbo Congress I have not presented a paper – in America, Europe and other parts of the world. That is why they feel the only one they have standing is now going the other way. But many of them are seeing that it is in their best interest. It is too late in the
day for me to go against my people. I have fought the Igbo cause for 42 good years since Ohaneze was founded. I was there from the very beginning.

Only four original founders or foundation members of Ohaneze are alive today. They are Chief Uwazurike amechi in his 80s, elder Onyeso Nwachukwu, 95 years old, Anayo Ezukpe, a medical doctor, in his 80s. I am in my 60s because I joined at a young age. I was the one running the errands. I have been a member of the elders’ council
or Imeobi of Ohaneze from the inception of that Council. Till today, that is the policy-making body of Ohaneze. There is no way they can decide anything and I will not know about it.

If the bolded is remotely correct, it shows the difference in the level of intellect between a citizen of USA and Nigeria. It is on record that many southerners from the confederacy sought the presidency of the Union immediately after the war. As of today, the number of southerners who have become the president of USA dwarfs the number from the northerners yet the northerners won the war. Bath and comb a pig, it shall always remain a pig.

NDDC will break the Guinness book record on corruption

Is it not what silly entity, NDDC, was created to do? Why have idiotic Nigerians not create commission and ministry for agricultural food belt in Nigeria? I hate Nigeria because everything about it shows imbecility.

valentineuwakwe:
The former Managing Director of the Interim Committee of the Niger-Delta Development Commission, Joy Nunieh has thanked the Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike for coming to save her from an attempted arrest by security operatives.

Governor Wike had moved Nunieh out of her residence at Herbert Macaulay Street, Old GRA, Port Harcourt, to Government House Port Harcourt.

Speaking to newsmen on telephone, Nunieh said she was surprised at the invasion of her home by Police officers, who came without an arrest warrant.

The former MD of NDDC, therefore, thanked Governor Wike for living up to his promise of protecting her.

Senator Magnus Abe called me after a while that the CP in Rivers did not really know about it and that the CP was going to reach me. The CP did reach me and said he was not aware of what was going on.

“The CP asked that I send him my address and which I did and then I saw the cars come in. So, I asked if that was the CP, and they said no. Fortunately, I was just wise enough. I stayed by the door, and they wanted to drag me, so I just banged the door, so they can’t come in.

So, I now left the front door to call my governor to tell my governor that this is what has happened, and he said no, I should not go anywhere that he was on his way. They kept trying to pull down the door and then I asked them for a warrant of arrest and I said I can’t go anywhere without a warrant of arrest.

“I needed to see the warrant. We are not in a Banana Republic. So, as they were still trying, my Governor came and sent them out that why would they come to arrest a woman like an armed robber that they should leave the compound.

The Governor then said I should enter the car with him. So, I am now with my Governor in Government House, Port Harcourt.

“I really want to thank the Governor. I really don’t know what to say but my Governor is a man. He is a man. He didn’t just say it that nothing should happen to me, he came to my rescue. I want to say thank you to my Governor,” Nunieh said.

Sources say Joy Nunieh is being invited for questioning by the Police, an information yet to be confirmed by the Rivers state Police Command.

The Minister of Niger-Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio and Nunieh have been embroiled in war of words over allegations of corruption in the NDDC.

Nigeria is a piece of childish joke. How could it be possible that a team of rogue policemen ventured into Rovers State to arrest the former MD of NDDC and CP did not have a whiff of it?

Anything less than total and unconditional disintegration of the shithole called Nigeria is an act of idiocy. I religiously want Republic of Igbo Land.

The issue is not the traders but the management or lack thereof. The traders can stay as long as they not encroach onto the passageway. In addition, the government must establish after hour activities. When all traders have gone home, the area must be swept and all the rubbish cleared. If the Douglas road with its activities were in hands of people with brain, the place will be very handy for shoppers.

All the ethnic bigots who wish to split Nigeria: SEE THE BIG PICTURE and quit being dumb.

Only an idiot will think Nigeria will last past 10 years from now. Whoever spewed the nonsense that Nigeria will surpass Togo in the next ten year is a dummy. These funny fools forgot what drives Nigeria is crude oil. if the developed countries achieve slightest success with current assault on internal combustion engines, Nigeria will be worse than Benin Republic in the next 15 years with unmanageable population. Nigeria must disintegrate in order to have a genuine grass root industrial base within the geographical expression.
