How could Port Harcourt and the creeks for that matter look so filthy when Abuja and its surrounding look pristine? The Niger Delta and South-south crap need to be revisited. It is unacceptable that a teenage girl from one of creeks was cover hair to toe with crude oil because she was trying to eke out a living while the sons and daughters of northern region political elites are jetting around the world in style.

Oba Samuel Afolabi, the Onilua of Ilua in Kajola Local Government Area of Oyo State is dead at age of 141.

Oba Afolabi who is believed to be the oldest king in Oyo State, died after a brief illness in the early hours of Saturday May 23.

The late monarch who was enthroned as king in the community at the age of 102, succeeded Oba Majaro in 1981.

141 years old!!!!! Yari.ba!! Yari.ba!!! Yari.ba!!!! When one thinks life is turning corners with these people, they throw another curve ball.

Everything we need is in this country, we just need to harness our potential and achieve our apotheosis.

Some students from a college in Ogidi, anambra state have come together and manufactured this “walkthrough full body disinfectant” and the move has been endorsed by the state govt.

I pray our people keep pushing the envelop of development and put us at the zenith of our potential while paying no mind to detractors and naysayers

The only way to harness the potential is through disintegration. Oduduwa cannot seat still while Republic of Igbo land continues to gain ground in inventive arena. Nigeria has retired the inventive spirit among Nigerians and turn them into embezzlers.

Godfullsam:
Ojukwu is very wicked. He started what he could not finish....

@ d end, he ran away leaving thousands of igbos to die.

Ranting of an ant!!! Ojukwu did not start the Nigeria/Biafra but defended his people from onslaught masterminded by northern and western regions of Nigeria along with so-called minorities. Nothing defines Nigeria to me more than Nigeria/Biafra war.

Abagana victory.

Biafran troops annihilated an entire Nigerian battalion in one quick sweep.

Few loudmouthed dingbats who pass as narrators had branded it as an act of lucky shot.

SouthNigerian:
Doppy write up.

But the question is, will Nigeria ever rise again?
Will the 3 Giants be willing to join forces and become Great again?

I think 2023 will determine the future of Nigeria and Africa.

I agree the write-up is goofy and illogical. I do not know if the author implies that if Nigeria disintegrates, Africa shall disintegrate too. I have found out the problem of Africa lies with Africans. Africans wear inferior mentality hence cannot think logically. They alien to critical thinking and fall prey to liberal wings of political class in USA and Europe. Due to inferior mentality, goofy Africans are more attracted to the liberal wings who cunningly smile at them than conservatives who would want them to put a mind into the business of the day an leave the laugh matter to the jackass.

Abagworo:
But posterity has proven Awolowo wiser than Zik. In this world you start from your root not the other way round.

Which posterity are you on about? Do you mean Nigeria as the posterity? The two individuals have different bases of educational enlightenment. Zik's background was USA which has shown Zik was right after all. While Awo's was UK which has been overtaken by my countries.

Senator Dino Melaye took to Instagram to state that
Nigeria is "in trouble" as there are alot of people waiting to
steal public funds.

He wrote: "In Nigeria, the population of people waiting to
steal is higher than the population of people currently
stealing. We are in trouble."

Ode you no go learn now, Dey do strong head. Ibadan is larger than Anambra State. Take it anywhere okay

Ibadan metropolis is 3,080km2 whole urban and semi urban is 6800km2 which total as 9,880km2. Is anambra up to 9,880km2?

Ode you are born again dingbat must learn. Lagos was made state yet no sane person can say Lagos is bigger than Enugu State talk less Anambra State. However loudmouthed ninnies would miraculously find their ways to this forum spew crap about a backwater called Ibadan is bigger than Anambra State. I have being Ibadan and it not compete with Enugu city talk less of Enugu State.

Strikethem:
Accepted, but that doesn't change the fact that oyo state is bigger than South Eastern Nigeria and Ibadan bigger than imo, ebonyi, anambra and abia States.

I wonder why the sticking backwater known as Ibadan was not made a state when the Yari.ba were in the lockstep with their Fulani and northern political elites masters.

That was the wickedness the "Sons of Belial " unleashed on [b]Wellington Duke U Bassey of Calabar who was the "father" of the Nigerian Army.
They even went as far as trying to kill him in Jan 1966 , just to be 100% sure they had finished frustrating his destiny, but God Almighty in his wisdom granted "Baba" Wellington Duke Bassey of Calabar long life despite all the scheming and intrigues of those who had no respect for their elders .

Please shut your putrid mouth. No one person is the "Father" of Nigeria army. This is how you sow the seeds of falsehood. I guess the correct Duke Bassey made the rank of major after 1956 and could not have being on the rank for 8 to 9 years without being promoted. If the army found he was not longer needed, it would have retired him instead of keeping him in the army.

Bashir Ahmad is a huge disgrace to his family, the society and to himself. Someone kidnaps and rapes a young girl in the name of religion and you wanna use your contact to assist him? 2023 is by the corner, enough of this charade, impunity and abberation constantly exhibited by this government.
With people like this in power, why won't young Nigerians wanna leave, virtually all threads in Nairaland's travel section is about leaving for Canada, Austria, Australia even Mozambique . I think we deserve better in this country.

Bashir Ahmad, may your daughters be kidnapped and raped like Ese Oruru, you better allow Yunusa face the weight of the law.

Caveat emptor: I have no political party affiliation.

They have waited too long to unleash their acts of impunity on the society. Suddenly the help came from northern and southwestern regions of Nigeria. It is a shame a vote has been wasted on these goons in APC.

Ghana has qualities in the criteria Nigeria lacks thus unity, readiness and discipline.

Dr. O. S. Peter, a behavioral psychologist expert in Obafemi Awolowo University has insinuated that there may be more traits of Insanity in Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra and Radio Biafra director. 

Dr. O. S Peter said the that Nnamdi Kanu, the Biafra Leader requires urgent medical and mental assistance.

Dr Peter explained that a person is described as insane if the person’s state of mind or behaviour is different from normal perception as discovered in Kanu’ s public statements.

He stated this position in an interview with selected journalists.

According to him, Kanu by some of his public statements over a prolonged period of time clearly shows signs of mental disorder and serious illness.

He said: “When he says things like the VP was forcefully Injected COVID-19 or that the VP and Femi Adesina were kidnapped or under house arrest or that Aso Rock is empty, these are signs of insanity because they are a fabrication of his imagination.”

Mr Peter explained that another trait of insanity found in Kanu’s confused thinking was demonstrated in his perception about President Muhammadu Buhari

He said, “Kanu is confused in his perception and thinking, for example he has raised this view about the President of Nigeria, Jibril of Sudan, Buhari is a clone, Buhari using silicon mask or that Buhari is a doppelganger”.


Peter also said that the denial of obvious issues like denying Igbos are Nigerians or assuming Igbos are Israelites or Jews and denying the place of southeast politicians and leaders are all fulsome signs of Kanu’s insanity.

Analysing Kanu further, the psychologist said delusions or hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not really there) are other signs of insanity, saying that the symptoms of mental disorders found in his behavior and public speeches lately indicate excessive bouts of anger.



SOURCE: https://authenticng.com/more-traits-of-insanity-in-nnamdi-kanu-psychology-expert/

There has been no self determination fighter or nationalist who has not being accused of insanity. Definitely the accusation of Nnamdi Kanu as being insane shows he is with the correct class.

THE LAST STATEMENT OF KEN SARO WIWA AT THE MILITARY TRIBUNAL IN 1995


My lord, since my arrest on the 21st of May, 1994 I have been subjected to physical and mental torture, held incommunicado and denied food for weeks and medical attention for months. My seventy-four year old mother has been whipped and arrested, my
wife beaten and threatened with detention, the three telephone lines to my office and residence cut and the they remain cut to this day, my office and home have been ransacked on three different occasions and personal and family property, official files and documents taken away without documentation. I have been calumniated in the press and on satellite television before the whole world by a Rivers State government anxious to prejudice the mind of the public and to convince that public of my guilt even before trial. Only recently, before the United Nations Committee for the Eradication of Racism and Discrimination in Geneva, an official delegation of the Federal Government which included the Special Adviser on Legal Affairs to the Head of State, Professor Yazudu, declared me responsible for the murders which are the subject of this Tribunal, even before Tribunal has found against me or anyone else.


The fact that a case of homicide is being charged before a Tribunal set up under Decree No. 2 of 1987 speaks for itself. I am aware of the many strictures laid against the decree and this Tribunal by local and international observers. All the same, I
have followed the proceedings here with keen and detailed interest, not only because I am charged before this Tribunal, but also because, as a writer, I am a custodian of the conscience of society. I regret that the legal counsel I freely chose, Gani Fawhimi, the human rights hero and pride of this country, was forced to withdraw. His withdrawal has denied credibility to this trial.


With the permission of the Tribunal, I would now like to make a filmic representation which will graphically demonstrate all that I have said here and amplify the details thereof.


My lord, we all stand before history. I am a man of peace, of ideas. Appalled by the denigrating poverty of my people who live on a richly-endowed land, distressed by their political marginalization and economic strangulation, angered by the
devastation of their land, their ultimate heritage, anxious to preserve their right to life and to a decent living, and determined to usher to this country as a whole a fair and just democratic system which protects everyone and every ethnic group and gives us all a valid claim to human civilization, I have
devoted all my intellectual and material resources, my very life, to a cause in which I have total belief and from which I cannot be blackmailed or intimidated. I have no doubt at all about the ultimate success of my cause, no matter the trials and tribulations which I and those who believe with me may encounter
on our journey. Nor imprisonment nor death can stop our ultimate victory.


I repeat that we all stand before history. I and my colleagues are not the only ones on trial. Shell is here on trial and it is as well that it is represented by counsel said to be holding a watching brief. The company has, indeed, ducked this particular
trial, but its day will surely come and the lessons learnt here may prove useful to it for there is no doubt in my mind that the ecological war the company has waged in the delta will be called to question sooner than later and the crimes of that war duly punished. The crime of the company's dirty wars against the Ogoni people will also be punished.

On trial also is the Nigerian nation, its present rulers and all those who assist them. Any nation which can do to the weak and disadvantaged what the Nigerian nation has done to the Ogoni, loses a claim to independence and to freedom from outside
influence. I am not one of those who shy away from protesting injustice and oppression, arguing that they are expected from a military regime. The military do not act alone. They are supported by a gaggle of politicians, lawyers, judges, academics and
businessmen, all of them hiding under the claim that they are only doing their duty, men and women too afraid to wash their pants of their urine. We all stand on trial, my lord, for by our actions we have denigrated our country and jeopardized the future of our children. As we subscribe to the sub-normal and accept double standards, as we lie and cheat openly, as we protect injustice and oppression, we empty our classrooms, degrade our hospitals, fill our stomachs with hunger and elect to make ourselves the slaves of those who subscribe to higher standards, pursue the truth, and honour justice, freedom and hard work.

I predict that the scene here will be played and replayed by generations yet unborn. Some have already cast themselves in the role of villains, some are tragic victims, some still have a chance to redeem themselves. The choice is for each individual.

I predict that a denouement of the riddle of the Niger delta will soon come. The agenda is being set at this trial. Whether the peaceful ways I have favoured will prevail depends on what the oppressor decides, what signals it sends out to the waiting
public.

In my innocence of the false charges I face here, in my utter conviction, I call upon the Ogoni people, the peoples of the Niger delta, and the oppressed ethnic minorities of Nigeria to stand up now and fight fearlessly and peacefully for their rights. History is on their side, God is on their side. For the Holy Quran says in Sura 42, verse 41: "All those who fight, when oppressed incur no guilt, but Allah shall punish the oppressor." Come the day.

You lived a false life and got slammed with false charges. This is the way the cookie crumbles

TripleOh7:
Actually, this makes sense. I'm surprised.

But the truth is, it is the same button that Nnamdi Kanu has been pressing that these two thieves are also pressing.

Nnamdi Kanu said 99.9% of Igbo women are prostitutes. Yet his followership keeps growing daily.

The reason is not far-fetched.

Most Igbos hate Buhari and the moslem North. And very many of them hate Tinubu and the Yorubas.

Just insult any of these and you have their remote control in your hand.

This is your silly stream of thought. I should appreciate if you could provide the video where Nnamdi Kanu made such pronouncement and the context in which the crap was said.

Nigeria is a piece of joke.

1 . Wellington Duke U Bassey of Calabar was Efik.

2. NPC/NCNC Coalition Government took over from the British at Independence in 1960 that was the prime Minister Tafawa Balewa and Governor General Nnamdi Azikiwe Government.

3 . . If the coalition government formed by NPC, NCNC, at INDEPENDENCE appointed the Army GOC contrary to any given RECOMMENDATION.
It would have been Wellington Duke U Bassey of Calabar who was the most Senior and most experienced Nigerian Army Officer and from the NCNC controlled Eastern Region at Independence in 1960.

Duke Bassey was not Umoh Bassey.

Duke Basset = Efik

Umoh Bassey = Ibibio

seunmsg:
You’ve really done well. Dedetwo is either trying to be mischievous or he was misled by the obvious mistake in Max Siollun’s book (extract attached). Duke Bassey is the same person as Wellington Bassey from all indications. It was Ugbonma and Sey (surname unknown but I suspect Bassey) that left the army after they were commissioned. Sey was a Ghanaian.

Another Wellington whose first name I don’t know was commissioned in 1952 and left the army in 1953 with Ugboma. The Bassey that was still in the military after independence was definitely the one that was a senior to Ironsi and Ademulegun.

No army will keep a person as a major from 1959 to 1966 without being promoted. If Duke did not leave the army before Nigeria's independence, he would at least become a Colonel. Duke Bassey was Efik while Umoh Bassey was Ibibio. Umoh Bassey who had been wrongly touted as N1 was commissioned in 1952 not the Duke Bassey commissioned in 1949.

My friend, Ojukwu did not even know what Apapa port looked like...much more to own or operate any part of the complex. Stop mixing apple and oranges. Long room did not exist in his lifetime.

Have you heard about Nnewi Building?

How do you jump from jetty to long room?

Stop this nonsense. I hope you have not been selling this long room story to your people in village.

Ojukwu was dead a long time before long room came about.

Did you not ask about warehouse? Sometimes, it is waste of time dealing with certain Nigerians.
