nickxtra: PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly directed Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State to issue a fresh proclamation for inauguration of the state House of Assembly.
This came as Edo State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, weekend, rubbished claims that Governor Obaseki was at loggerheads with his predecessor and National Chairman of the party, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, over control of the state and leadership tussle in Edo State House of Assembly. Edo State APC chairman, Mr Anselm Ojezua, who made the disclosure during an interactive session with newsmen in Lagos, blamed the crisis on the deceptive nature of players in the state’s political space.
Meanwhile, sources disclosed to Vanguard, weekend, Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, who is a member of the committee set up by President Buhari to resolve Edo State crisis, declared the stand of the president at the first re-conciliatory meeting of the group in Abuja, last week. The committee, headed by Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, has el-Rufai and business magnate, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, as members.
Both the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, and Governor Obaseki are members of the committee. The initial meeting of the committee, presided over by Fayemi, was held at Ekiti House, Abuja. A source said el-Rufai informed the meeting as they commenced that he had information from President Buhari. He hinted: “The Kaduna State governor told the meeting that President Buhari wants Obaseki to issue a fresh proclamation for re-inauguration of the House of Assembly, and that anybody interested in the speaker’s position should contest it. Obaseki’s position “Governor Obaseki interjected, saying he thought they were looking for peace, but having seen the handwriting on the wall, even before the meeting, he said he would want to appeal to Oshiomhole for a situation where the self-worth of both sides would be accommodated in the final resolution.’’
Vanguard learned that the governor argued that if the present speaker, Mr Frank Okiye, would be sacrificed, then Oshiomhole should also shift grounds on his preferred candidate, Mr Victor Edoror, for a neutral person, Mr Emmanuel Okoduwa. It was learned that el-Rufai demanded to know what Obaseki meant by accommodating the interests of both sides, saying if the governor wants anybody in the new dispensation as speaker, he should ask him to lobby his colleagues and he (Obaseki) should also lobby the lawmakers for him. The Kaduna governor, according to the source, made reference to the recent inauguration of the National Assembly, where the president and the party settled for the incumbent Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan, while Senator Mohammed Ndume insisted on his rights to contest, with everybody lobbying the senators-elect.
This is clearly a very biased report with intent to pass the buck n deliberately tarnish the image of a particular section of the country, it's very doubtful if the said chukwunka is actually the ring leader of the group,he could be a medical practitioner formerly trained or not,based in katsina that was either lured by financial inducement or forced to offer his services to the bandits n now been use as a scapegoat to shift blame because of his people's rejection of RUGA,why single out his name for mention?, well the security can go ahead n kill him if that would end the banditry n make RUGA a reality Nationwide.
MelesZenawi: In this interview first published by Sunday Guardian of February 17, 2008, Lt-General T.Y. Danjuma, who led the troops that killed then Head of State, General Aguiyi Ironsi, who was visiting Ibadan, and his host, speaks on the events of that day.
You were quoted as saying that your memoirs would be one grenade of a book, why?
You know; there are so many versions of some the critical events that took place over the years in which I was involved. Some of the versions are sanitized; some of them are slightly inaccurate, which I will endeavour to correct. And in correcting them, there will be a few explosions. You know what a grenade is- it explodes. Unfortunately, for me, each time I pick up my notes and try to write, I have to relive some of those very tense periods and I am so worked up. So, what I have decided to do is oral history- tell the story to a writer who’ll record, transcribe and so on and the book will bear his name and mine.
Will you, in the book correct, for example, the many stories around the coup in Ibadan in 1966 and your alleged role in the killing of Aguiyi-Ironsi and Adekunle Fajuyi?
The interesting thing about the Ibadan coup where Ironsi was arrested is that the full story is already in print. If you take the book written on me by Lindsay Barrett, the account given there with General (Yakubu ) Gowon’s biography written by Professor Isawa Eliaugu – if you read that part of the book, the account thereof what happened – if you put them together, a lot of the grey areas will be clear.
Well, you still have to clear some speculations here concerning your role. It is said that you broke Ironsi’s famous swagger stick, which was thought to be his magic wand. Did you? Did your people drag Ironsi on the road? Did you take him to Iwo road and shoot him?
No, it is not true. What happened was that after we arrested him, I lost control. Remember that I was a complete stranger. I came from Lagos with Ironsi as a staff in the Army Headquarters attached to him. I stayed in the barracks with the Adjutant (the Chief of Staff of the Commanding Officer). I stayed with him in his single officer quarters. And it was there, that at one or two o’clock in the morning – I was in bed – when he came and knocked at my door. He said, “sir, do you know what has happened.” I said, “no”. He said there was some trouble in Abeokuta. He said there was an Igbo officer holding a secret meeting with all the Igbo officers in the Officers’ Mess and our boys went and shot all of them.
Who are the “our boys?”
Northern soldiers! Remember, Igbos did the killings that took place in January (1966). They killed non-Igbo senior Army officers. Only one Igbo officer was killed but Igbo wiped out almost all the senior non –Igbo officers. We rounded up all the people, who did the killings because we all helped Ironsi to abort the January coup. They were rounded up and put in jail, where they were being paid their full salary
They had television, they had everything there despite being detained and nobody was talking about court marshalling them. Instead, the newspapers including the Daily Times wrote to the effect that the boys being detained were national heroes. National heroes because they killed corrupt politicians! He didn’t say anything about Army officers…” they killed corrupt politicians and replaced them with lronsi whom we would call Iron-side”. Very insulting and, in my own opinion, provocative! They were saying that those boys should be freed. Tension started building. Riots broke out in the North and it was because of the riots that broke out in the North that Ironsi started going round to talk to traditional rulers and the Army leaders. I was in his convoy. We got to Ibadan. We had a meeting with traditional rulers and leaders of thought at the end of which everybody was asked to sing the National Anthem. We all sang the National Anthem. In the night, we had dinner and we came back. We dropped him (Ironsi) at Government House, and then went to the barracks to stay with the Adjutant. Then, at one o’clock in the night (there was) gbam, gbam, gbam on my door. I said what happened. He (Adjutant) said there was some trouble in Abeokuta. I said what was it? He said the man on duty – duty officer – saw the Commanding Officer holding meetings in the officers’ mess … all the officer that attended that meeting were Igbos. They left out non-Igbo officers. The duty officer called one or two soldiers; they cocked their guns, went there and rounded up everybody. They thought it was a joke. One of them had his staff machine gun by his side and he bent down and attempted to pick it up; they opened up on him and shot him down. They sprayed everybody, killed everybody there and started telephoning. They rang Ibadan. It was then that this boy woke me up. This was what happened. The press had been calling for the release of the January coup plotters. Now, our boys had created an excuse for the release. After killing these people, it is a draw – they killed Army officers in Lagos and all over Nigeria. Igbos did it. Now, Igbos had been killed in Abeokuta; that’d be the end of it. I said no. I asked the Adjutant, who was in a position to know if the Supreme Commander – at that time lronsi was known as Supreme Commander – had been told? He said, no; he didn’t think so. I said okay; he should get me some soldiers. He brought soldiers. I didn’t come to Ibadan with combat dress. I had to borrow the combat dress of an officer about my size. It was an American combat dress. This officer had just come back from the US. You know, when you travel with the Head of State you have to dress decently, wear service dress and so on. So, I borrowed fatigue, wore it. In fact, I wore it over my pyjamas and left with the Adjutant. I said, “Take me to Government House”. We got there. We asked soldiers who were on duty to ground arms. They all grounded their arms. I told the Adjutant what to do. Soldiers grounded their arms; we disarmed them and armed the soldiers that we brought. Meanwhile, the anti-tank gun (lronsi convoy) was there, the commander was there. The commander was from the garrison in Ibadan. We knew him; we told him. He said we should use the gun to blow down the building. I said no. There’s no need; the Head of State was there; we had to arrest him. We were there and waited. Any time anybody came out from the building, we arrested him. They removed their shoes and we asked them to sit down.
whatever was the intention of chukwuma kaduna nzeogwu n his colleagues,the execution of the Jan 66 coup was bad n ironsi's lack of courage foresight n decisiveness made things worse.
This is where you will see trapezium pegs been placed in triangular holes for political reasons,the ideal thing would have been to assign portfolios to the ministerial designates before their screening by the Senate so that each person will be screened based on competency without any charade of "take a bow n go",but for where!,at the end there will be nothing to show for it.
cokerlino: Sokoto – Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, says states, where Fulani are not indigenes will not be required to implement the RUGA settlement initiative.
Ganduje made the clarification shortly after attending the wedding ceremony of the son of Sen. Kabiru Gaya, Ibrahim Khalil in Sokoto on Saturday. The governor told newsmen that the RUGA settlement initiative was for states who could cater for the Fulanis, and was targeted at making herdsmanship a socio-economic investment, not a socio-cultural issue. “So States where indigenes are not Fulani cannot be asked to implement RUGA, as such it is for states that can cater for the Fulanis and wish to improve their herdsmanship. “That is why we are developing RUGA in Kano state, so that Fulani people can be in one place and enjoy all the social services like other people of the state. “The type of herdsmanship the Fulanis are doing now will be improved, so that they can produce more cows, more milk and ensure more economic prosperity to themselves,” Ganduje said.
The governor, however, said the best way to improve the living standard of Fulani people was by banning their seasonal migration to the central and southern parts of Nigeria. “No better way to improve their lives if you don’t prevent their migration from the north to the central and southern parts of Nigeria.
“Fulani migration should be banned otherwise they would continue to suffer and the security challenges in the country would continue to exist,” he added.
In this aspect Ganduje made a lot of sense,the northern elites are making a big mistake in the way they most times insist on a practically unrealistic agenda just because their feel they control political power,the answer to the pervasive poverty in the north is education n agriculture,one would expect the north to be so eager in taking advantage of the northern comparative advantage in agriculture n always insist that the north should come first in any agricultural scheme,this RUGA scheme for instance is not a bad idea for the northern states as it has the potential of creating so many economic opportunities eg vetinary personnel, livestock rangers,new schools n hospitals,transport business,marketers, labourers, diary business etc,it is very dangerous for the north itself to think like Junaid Mohammed often give the impression that they can make the north Africa's headquarters of fulani n use them to threaten the other parts of the country,the north will always suffer the consequences as it is now, large population can be an advantage politically but it can also be a serious threat to socio-economic well being if not well managed,the northern elites need to think beyond today's political ambitions n act wisely,I commend Ganduje for this.

Ostrogoth: Bros, I respect your insight. You got it all perfectly right. What Nigeria needs is restructuring and I believe the current herdsmen crises is finally opening our eyes to this truth.
adioolayi: Sincerely, I don't really understand what you are talking about...maybe because I am not a Muslim.....but then, the FG proscribe MASSOB when their wahala was much too. so...anything goes as far as it is for the peace of the larger populace
So you are just supporting the government to proscribing any body just because such body is insistence on a right,why do we have laws n the court then?, this issue of IMN is all just a smoke screen to achieve a hidden pre-planned agenda, which is the desire by the sunni Muslim majority to crush the minority shi'ite in all their territories,the crisis in yemen, Syria n even Iraq all centres around this sectarian Islamic struggle, buhari can decieve the uninformed only,Nnamdi kanu calls for secession was wrong n no government will accept that without a fight, personally I wished kanu had agitated for political n economic restructuring of the country which would have gain more acceptance,at least that was one area the whole of the south n middle belt were on the same page but the opportunity has been lost,if the government wish to proscribe any body,the government should go to court n state her reasons n let the court allow such body to defend herself,were such body refuses or failed the court can then pass her judgement,what is happening now is very questionable n dubious, buhari has succeeded in pocketing all the arms of government n using them in pursuing his assume self righteous agenda but this is very dangerous fort the country going forward.
So if the shi'ite are terrorists then the killer fulani herdsmen are what?, those who are cheering buhari on should have it the back of their minds that history is taking notes of everything.
jlinkd78: Who now weighs d scale to know where d pendulum points btw public peace and human right. The issue with this govt is that while they love lies they do not know how to lie. It is d duty of d state Attorney to furnish d court with fact to buttress their arguments of public interest vs individual rights and it is d duty of d judges to weigh on d justice scale and give verdicts. That is why there is room for appeal of cases to a superior court if u loose out at a lower one. Malami is not in d position to superimpose his master's selfish interest in interpreting a clear court pronouncement that once bail is granted it must be obeyed and possibly appealed
Thank you very much for this wonderful contribution, buhari/Apc generally believe they alone know best n their decisions should not be questioned no may how weird,so it now means only the APC government now can decide how the laws of the country should be applied!,,now with the daft of a cjn n band of zombie supporters Nigeria is in for suprises,in reality however buhari is just setting a very dangerous prescedence in the country all in the euphoria of his false n deceptive righteous belief but tommorow is pregnant only time shall tell.
I wonder oh my brother, those guys just hating n giving C Ronaldo negative press all the time just to his image,if it were Messi now you will see a headline like,",,K league all stars beautifully recreates Messi's fantastic goal celebrations", there's too much bias against Ronaldo if not he would have gotten 6 balloon d'ors now, clearly Ronaldo should have won last season ahead of Luka modric but hatred n bias would not allow the powers that be,but despite all the negative energy c Ronaldo keep defying the odds to stay strong n shame his enemies, like Bob Marley said,'who Jah bless no one can curse'.
stagger: Did you watch Alloy Agu in USSR '85? The U20 tournament where we won a bronze? Did you watch him lose 2 teeth saving the Super Eagles in Ghana? Or saving us from collecting a basketful of goals in Yaounde when Njonkep Bonaventure and Omam Biyik ran us ragged in a World Cup qualifier for Italia '90?
Then let me come down to late Wilfred Agbonavbare. He was a star goalkeeper at New Nigerian Bank, one of Nigeria's top clubs that produced Stephen Keshi, Humphrey Edobor, Henry Nwosu and co. He also did exploits as Abiola Babes goalkeeper. Watch Nigeria's World Cup quaifier against CIV here in Lagos in 1994 when we won 4-1. He saved us from collecting several goals in that game. Then watch his performances in La Liga playing for Rayo Vallecano.
When his death was announced, the entire stadium rose and applauded him for several minutes and raised a banner in his honour, stating that he will never be forgotten. Even Nigeria did not do such for him.
I don't think you really followed football in the 80s.
Of a truth I didn't follow football in the early 80s,I first football at Mexico 86 as a kid,but at Senegal 92 Alloy was not sharp he could have been a junior level with over age,the match in younde you mentioned,I believe David Nghodiga was the first choice Alloy came in when the cameroun player Benjamin massing injured Nghodiga in the neck in a collision,as for Agbonibare he was making so call waves for Rayo vallecano in Spain when he was drafted into the national team he showed some flashes n later became a flop,I remember vividly how the press later Nick named him AGBONIBASKET,we always have good things to say about the dead,look at uzoho,it was the same case of a teenager making waves,how has it turned out for our 19yrs old now, years down the road somebody would say uzoho was a great keep abi?,Alloy can enjoy his present position but need to sit up n do better or he should be ship out
References: Super Eagles Goalkeeper Coach, Alloy Agu has revealed that there are efforts to bring in new goalkeepers by scouting “both home and abroad” to bolster the team, reports footballlive.ng.
Addressing questions on Nigeria’s challenge with finding a formidable goaltender since the exit of Carl Ikeme and the inconsistency with the three goalkeepers selected for the AFCON 2019, Agu said: “A lot of things have been said about that department and that department has also lived up to expectations.
Before I took up the job of the Super Eagles, Enyeama was the fourth choice goalkeeper of the team,” Agu said.
“Enyeama became the first choice under my watch. He has a record since the inception of our World Cup campaign that none after him has been able to break until date.
“When Enyeama left the show, I brought in Carl Ikeme. Ikeme did so well for Nigeria that goalkeeping position was solidified until he fell sick, and I had to bring in the same Daniel Akpeyi.
“At one time we played against Algeria in the World Cup qualifiers, the same Akpeyi rescued us and we beat the Algerian team that was number one in Africa at the time.
“So, this is the situation, now we’re working and I can tell you categorically that I have embarked with the scouting team on a search within and outside Nigeria to make sure that we get reliable hands that can solidify that goalkeeping position in the Super Eagles.”
On the goal that sunk Nigeria at the semifinals of the just concluded African Cup of Nations, Agu said it would be “consciously” brought to the goalkeepers’ awareness on how best to take charge in free-kick situations.
With the score tied at 1-1, Akpeyi was beaten by Riyad Mahrez, the goalkeeper was standing behind the wall, gifting the Algerian dead-ball specialist a lot of room to pick his spot and curl it past the wall.
That error shouldn’t have happened and Agu is determined to eliminate the chances of that embarrassment reoccurring.
“In the near future when we have that kind of situation, what we need to do as we continue to advance is that you form your wall and ensure you’re in contact with the ball.
“Also you take your action the moment the ball is kicked, then you react because you can see where the ball is headed." He said.
Akpeyi was not even standing behind the wall,he simply hadn't good reflexes,he can't lift n dive sharply,he is always looking confused n indecisive, between Akpeyi n ezenwa,the later is much better but it's the coaches call to make,by the way Alloy Agu just like Agbonibare were not excellent keepers,I watch Alloy at Senegal 92 were he was always diving late now he is forming expert,the great keepers I personally watched were Peter Rufai,David Nghodiga,n Vincent Eyeanma.
Atiku: I know your problem... Maybe e for sweet you if Dem name am coast guard instead of SBS
No he is correct,SBS is the Navy's equivalent of the army's SPECIAL FORCE.be that as it may,I don't think we need the coast guard as a separate branch of the armed forces,a unit can be created within the Navy for that if necessary.what Nigeria urgently need to do now is to restructure the police n civil defense corps,I will suggest the police act is repealed n reenacted in which the appointment n dismissal of the IG should be subject to Senate confirmation n his term of office should be fixed (a single term of four years),let the operational units of the police like PMF,SPU,CTU be given basic military training n their weaponry increase to handle substantial challenges instead of engaging the military in all sort situations,the civil defense should take over the provision of security in civil settings like schools, hospitals, government civil offices, civil factories, palaces, markets,etc while the conventional police should concentrate on patrols, essential guard duties, investigation, intelligence gathering, prosecution etc.the security manpower may not be enough presently but the situation is made worse by poor planning, priorities n utilisation.
gaetano: All of you sophisticated morons that supported this useless Islamic government, na thunder go fire all of una. You can imagine how deep Buhari has killed this country with nepotism. Imagine tanko that studied Islamic law is head of CJN, man even had the most terrible subject combination at waec to be even admitted.
Show this dismal academic credential to sagay n ask for his impression,he will quickly tell you that it's irrelevant what Branch of law Tanko studied but most importantly Tanko is full of integrity n honesty unlike the other justices mostly of the south Whose life styles questionable n are of dubious characters so buhari is very right in picking him
Tanko said, technicality is the state of something been unusual, therefore it will require someone with the technical knowledge to understand it sometime there will be the need to seek the assistance of technical expert, buhari's appointment of Tanko is full of technicalities n only technical people can understand it,but I have to point out that there is technicality in every aspect of life so we can't completely do away with it but we should do best to always have some technical abilities to understand the technicalities.
ogunsj: no, you are the zombie here. political appointment is fight and settled on before releasing and it's not a tea party.
You are just the real zombie, already inventing a justification for the unnecessary delay in making the ministerial appointment, calling it a fight n not a tea party as if it's only in Nigeria such appointments are made,like kperogi said n it's quite true that no one support buhari/Apc that doesn't sound stupid.
CuriousMynd: A Nigerian Lady based in the US, has shared photos showing the amazing transformation her body went through in less than a year and it has wowed everyone on social media.

Her body transformation in the last couple of months has shocked social media users with some people expressing utter disbelief.
Her words; “It’s still the beginning of the week and you can start over or keep pushing , As long as you are doing something about it, that’s all that matters, we all get discouraged at some point but never ever give up. These pictures are less than a year apart, imagine how much progress you can make in months with clean eating and exercising , I hope this helps someone a little this week to motivate them to make changes”

Chelseaplus: Lady Shares Her Story After Finding Out She Was Carrying 5 Months Twins when she started her graduation problem in which her program director told her to come back next year, Below is what she wrote:
nototribalist: Tho all terrorist groups in the world are all Sunnis not Shiite. Nigerians shouldn't be deceived it's Saudi Arabia that ask Buhari to suppress Shiite in Nigeria. Saudis couldn't convince Goodluck about suppressing them.
The reason why international community especially the United States won't mind Elzazaki dying in jail cos Shiite originated from Iran, and Iran and the US don't agree with each other for decades now.
Let's not forget that it's the same Nigerian Police that created Boko Haram after killing their leader Yusuf.
The award-winning most corrupt police in the world want to create another terrorist groups.
The most Corrupt police in the world need to buy sense for once and stop putting Nigeria in problems
it's a big lie for you to say the NPF created BOKO Haram by killing Mohammed Yusuf,I was in maiduguri around the period n witnessed first hand what happened.mohammed Yusuf is originally from your state,his father was killed in the maitatsine uprising of the Early 80s n he was brought up by his uncle, Mohammed Yusuf led that Taliban uprising in 2004-2005, most if you are not even aware of this,his Taliban group were crushed by a detachment of mopols n soldiers in gwoza after the group launh attacks in yobe n borno finally culminating in the death of the police area commander of bama in 2005,the northern elders specifically borno elders knew everything about Yusuf,in fact it was the late shehu of borno mustapha ibn shehu elkanemi that gave markas to Yusuf,when Yusuf launch his Boko Haram fight in July of 2009,it took four days of complete war by the special forces of the army for Yusuf to be captured n . ...... don't l make false claims about what you don't know about n thereby condemning other people unnecessarily.
