How is this related to the post? Most tribes in Nigeria have outstanding people in high places abroad. Nothing special about it really.

DaddyCoool:
Is she Nigerian?

Yes. She is the daughter of Dr Femi and Professor Feyi Adegoke.
She's now British and married to a white British man.

Terrorism and extremism are not tolerated in UAE. That's why they dealt with BH supporters from their side and handed us a list to deal with here. Alas, nothing happened.

Terrible!

@OP
Have they been able to resettle in their villages now?
The post is dated 2021.

He doesn't need any form of intervention if he's not guilty. All he needs to do is to prove his innocence.

Slytiger:
1. Ibos were not the only people in the army, all the counter coup consisted of Northern military officers 😂

2. Ironsi surrounded himself with his kinsmen after the coup.
At the early stage of his tenure, he appointed a three-man advisory team made up of Chief Francis Nwokedi, a Permanent Secretary, Dr. Pius Charles Nwabafor Okigbo (1924-2000) and Colonel Patrick Anwunah, who later became Chairman and Head of the Orientation Committee at that time.

He replaced the then Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr. Taslim Olawale Elias (1914-1991) with Chief Gabriel Chike Michael Onyiuke (SAN), former Director, Public Prosecution, Eastern Nigeria (1960-1965) from Nimo in the present Anambra state.

3. Out of the 22 killed in the coup, only 1 was Ibo. The premier of the eastern region Michael okpara was even spared unlike the premiers of the west and north that were murdered.

4. The handing over of the government to Ironsi by Orizu (the acting president and the senate president who could have called for the formation of another civilian government).

5. The unification decree of May 1966 promulgated by Ironsi, leading to the abolition of regional system of government - Historically speaking, the West and North have always believed in the regional system of government as the best form of government for a multiethnic like Nigeria, however this was taken away by Ironsi, leading to a massive outrage and pogrom in the North. Unification decree favoured the ibos as they don't stay in their region like the others.

6. The coup plotters were kept in Jail but weren't sentenced to death.

You people should stop trying hard to revise history.

That's more like it. Revisionists will always fail.

So proud of Nigeria Police. 👏🏼👏🏼👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
I've always known that they can be very professional and excellent in their duties when given the chance and necessary support. God bless them for bringing peace to Ladipo, Okota/Isolo and other areas that have been tormented by those criminals.

The President of Biafra (in diaspora) speaking. 😃

vanbonattel:
I get the pinshures

Impersonation maybe as stated in the report.

optm:
These people can be very heartless and wicked. I had attended to their victims in time past. They usually deep their fingers in their victim's eyes while trying to get the aboniki on them. Terrible people.

Terrible indeed. So heartless! They deserve some Aboniki in their eyes too.

MufasaLion:
They need to speak out and vote the right people.

Hmmm! A lot happens that is difficult to understand.

So sad that Ogun State with high IGR and potential for more has been so badly run over the years. Ifo and Sango Ota LGs can generate so much more for the state but there seems to be no concerted effort towards physical planning, provision of adequate infrastructure and services in those areas. Ifo extends to parts of Isheri/Ojodu/Berger areas of Lagos just as Agbara is a border town. Akute is another area that has been grossly neglected to the detriment of the state. The roads are terrible with lack of proper drainage in some areas...the CDAs need to wake up too.

It's disgraceful that there are still many villages with no access to potable water, decent schools and functional health centres as seen in a report by a newspaper. Those are basics expected to be seen in a progressive state, moreso, Pa Awolowos place. A man whose focus was the uplifting of the poor unlike today's pretenders.

Anyway, Gov. Abiodun should at least ensure that the Lagos -Papalanto - Abeokuta road is completed before his tenure ends. He should apply the same energy and focus given to the cargo airport.

What I know is that we have Ugbos (in Ondo state today) who fought the Ifes. Moremi, an Offa princess married to the Ife king saved the Ifes from the Ugbos. That's how Ife became peaceful and they made progress.

The Olugbo of Ugbo kingdom has stated the history from their own perspective. It's not so different except that they claim to be the original settlers in the area.

Ugbos are different from Igbos. Ugbo is bush in some Yoruba dialects.

This is so disheartening and frustrating. Too many years down the line and there's no abatement.

Sophia could as well have taken a mortgage to own a house if she can afford to pay 23m rent p.a. IMO that's not a wise way to spend money except if it's a temporary solution while constructing hers in the same environment. Expecting David to fund that lifestyle is unfair while he too shouldn't have stopped paying her child's school fees which is a fundamental duty.

There's Chaplaincy School for the Christians too.

TheSuperX:
Pastors are the real culprits because imams or Alfas don't collect tithes.

The Alfas collect in their own way. There are donations towards building of Mosques and social welfare too.

Words of wisdom. He forgot to mention multi level marketers. They always target retirees with business ideas that quickly nose dive and they become losers.

By the way, he didn't say they shouldn't give at all to the Church/Mosque. Just that they need to apply wisdom.

No big deal. They have Churches and train their Priests too.

If you have a good job and can afford to stay on your own, it's okay. Ideally, you could stay at home for a while and save towards settling down well later. I think that's what your parents want. They truly care for you.

People are so flippant, rude/uncouth and stupidly intimidating these days. Maybe we should allow the legal system to make a few examples so that others can learn to be decent while expressing their views.

Slavery happened all over Nigeria anyway.

maasoap:
Useless family. Like they checked up on him when he was going through whatever he went through. A lonely man who took time to write messages to everyone who mattered to him is the one they're claiming he didn't commit suicide. Were you there for him?

You obviously didn't read the story!

TechCapon:
I believe that he committed suicide and the family is hiding it. How else would you explain to me that he jumped down from the balcony of his apartment if not to kill himself.

Reading a lot of novels (especially on crime) when I was young has made me understand the complex world we live in. How are you sure that it's not a disguised murder?

Hmmm! Seems the invaders are here. The Ogere area probably also needs close monitoring...

cjudy:


I already predicted a thread to be open and tag igbo name Stanley Ikechukwu. For your information, no Igbo man answer Stanley Ikechukwu. This thread is just to balance the calamity committed by our drug brother yesterday.

Una go tire

What's there to defend? Who really cares about the tribe when we know that drug addicts reflect federal character. There's no point playing victim.

OriOko88:

He's not dead but incapacitated!! Joke let this man go rest now.

Is she God? Do you really think looking after him is easy for her? Still, she'll rather do her best for as long as God chooses to keep him alive. May God's grace abide with them both till death do them part.

blamingthedevil:
It is great to see @saglev
has commenced the production of electric cars at its state-of-the-art assembly plant in Ikorodu, Lagos.

It's commendable. Hope they'll plan towards building affordable cars for the generality of the people in due course. That shouldn't be a problem if our steel industry thrives.

Sleekfun:
We still prefer to buy second hand Toyota Corolla ....

Affordability issues! 😔

cyphaAhmed:
The real position here is that I am professionally a social researcher and I validate conclusions from the population I engage in my studies. I have been in Okene, Ajaokuta and Adavi for the past couple of days. Previously, I was in Ankpa, Dekina, Ijumu and Kabba Bunu. These milieu are comparatively the three senatorial districts inherent in Kogi state. All I am saying is Kogi state Fed allocation is about 3 to 4 Billion, multiply that by 8 years, deduct government runs and as yourself if that kind of amount can be stolen.

Federal allocations are not the only source of income for states. There's IGR and states take loans.
