Dialogue will not help matters
For every igbo that grew up in igboland,.this might be their experience too
as little kids we were meant to see massob members and people shouting biafra as miscreants, we were taught to believe in one nigeria
we held this belief until we came of age.
discrimination stared boldly at us
I was signing the NYSC book of life wen i noticed that most corpers there were born in that region and schooled in that state, something that is hardly seen in the south
I came to discover that the tune for 9 o clock news sounded like an hausa or fulani song
I came to discover that south has the least number of senators and House of reps members there
I came to discover that most of our soldiers are hausas
i came to discover that most of our leaders and politicians were of northern extraction
As an Igbo i found that i will never be the president of nigeria
During NYSC i found out that Hausa corpers were treated with respect while we were treated as rags
I might not support ipob and kanu because of their strategies
Outwardly am called a nigerian, but inside i know i am not just part of this country.
Almost all the major roads in the north are in good condition but i spend up to one hour from oyigbo to eleme
Change my mindset (which is ultimately very difficult) and i will drop biafra

Armless man and his group making a just and legal demand is a predicament? May I know which part of the cesspit you come from so that I may join yours in enjoying the fruits of their able leadership? No wonder Utomi said, "Nigerians are idiooots". Pity.

Deltagiant:
Are you referring to me or the man who made the comments whom I'm sure is grounded in knowledge more than you?

If u had read him and comprehended well, you would have smelled his fears about Kanus of this world and history; how they ended up truncating tyrannical bondage called laws and stupid national security. Umar was a student of politics and military history who spent time in some of the best schools in the US.

The morbid fear you guys have for a man without arms has exposed a sort of cowardice that is unprecedented, and which Umar has subtly highlighted. Funny enough, all these are coming at a time you are faced with the atrocities of armed and uniformed groups ranging from herdsmen to Hisba and Boko haram etc..without them being a headache to you. The energy you people expend on this man signals only but one thing on you people: psychological defeat.

deomeelo:
This is not about emotions, sentiments or some military man's worries, this is about the rule of law and national security.

Of what relevance is any country or society with you, me and every clown breaking laws left and right, trashing bail conditions, setting up militias, private police, and other ridiculous nonsense?

Is this the kind of lawlessness and rubbish you'd love to see in your so called biafra?


Be careful what you support and wish for.

A former Military Administrator of Kaduna State, Col Abubakar Dangiwa Umar, Rtd, has advised the Nigerian Government against the plan to re-arrest the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, and other agitators behind him, saying, ”It will be a tragic mistake to treat them as common criminals.”

Umar gave the warning on Wednesday in a statement he signed and made available to DAILY POST.


The former governor buttressed his point by quoting Shiekh Usman Danfodio’s famous speech where he said that “One of the swiftest ways of destroying a kingdom is to give preference to one particular tribe over another, or to show favour to one group of people rather than another, and to draw near those who should be kept away and keep away those that should be drawn near.”

Umar further described the move to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu as dangerous and politically unwise, adding that the IPOB leader is not a common criminal and should not treated as such.

Umar, now Chairman, Movement for Unity & Progress, MUP, said, “Reports in the media indicate that the Federal government has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to revoke the bail granted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and have him rearrested.

“This is both dangerous and politically unwise. Mazi Kanu is not a common criminal as the government appears to think. On the contrary, he is a bitter young man fighting for a fairer deal for his Igbo kinsmen.


“His seeming militant approach is the result of the strong arm tactics with which the Federal Government deals with him. His long incarceration before a court granted him bail testifies to this.

“Like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, many Igbos genuinely feel marginalized since they belong to the category of those who gave Mr President only 5% of their votes and appeared to have fallen out of his favour.

“President Buhari’s insistence that the unity of Nigeria is a settled issue is a nationalistic wish and is no surprise coming from a veteran of civil war fought to keep the country one.

“However, this does not take into account the mood of the nation as indicated by the growing agitations for self determination, restructuring and many other similar demands.


“If indeed the President is able to ignore and silence those agitators, it will be a case of suspended animation. All indications are that Nigeria has become so polarized that it requires a strong personality like General Buhari to sustain its fragile unity.

“Needless to say that this does not bode well for the survival of the nation.

“Most Nigerians are convinced of the need to maintain Nigeria’s unity, cognisant of the enormous benefits all sections drive from a large, diverse and resource rich country.

“The Federation also provides a security umbrella to all the federating units which enhance their survivability and prosperity.

“It is difficult to see how any of them can fare better out of the federation. But the fact that there are growing agitations for self determination, restructuring and other similar demands speak gravely of the way the federation is being governed.

“Nigeria’s unity can only be guaranteed when all its citizens feel they are getting a fair deal; when all its component parts are treated justly and equitably. When none feels oppressed.

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Adeyanju and other similar agitators might seem like felons or even anarchists. But as often happens over humanity’s turbulent history, appearances can be deceitful.

“One man’s terrorist could well be another man’s freedom fighter. In any event, despite what the security agencies might feel, there is nothing to fear from Mazi Kanu.

“He and his compatriots are people who love their country dearly and are willing to take a risk with their lives while blowing a whistle on some of our bad habits.

” It will be a tragic mistake to treat them as common criminals. It is evident that they are fighting a cause millions consider entirely legitimate.


“Until our democracy learns to accommodate dissent, vigorous, robust, even if inconvenient, it will be incapable of serving our common good.”

Finally southeast governors have accepted kanu as one of igbo leaders that needs to be handled with care.

Power truly belongs to the people and he has the needed support to call the shots.

GTL Registrars Limited (formerly Union Registrars Limited) is the pioneer Company in the share registration industry, having commenced operations as a department in the then Barclays Bank DCO (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas).

Since the commencement of its operations in the late 1950’s, the Company has evolved into a strong player with a robust clientele consisting of leading Nigerian corporates and subsidiaries of multinationals. The company serves as an intermediary between its clients and their shareholders by providing a complete range of share registration and data management services. These services include the payment of dividends, organization of shareholders’ meetings, management of shareholders’ records and management of shareholders’ enquiries. Over the years, the Company has grown to cater to the needs of its well diversified clientele and their shareholders, handling both simple and sophisticated portfolios.

Following the nationalisation of Barclays Bank DCO by the Federal Government of Nigeria in 1979, the Bank was renamed Union Bank of Nigeria (“Union Bank”) and the Registrars department continued to carry out its functions as a department within the Bank. On the 6th of February 2003, the Registrars department was restructured and incorporated as a private limited liability company thereby becoming a full-fledged subsidiary of Union Bank.

In June 2014, Union Bank divested from the Company in compliance with the Central Bank of Nigeria’s requirement for Banks who do not want to structure their business as a Bank Holding Company, to sell their Non-Banking subsidiaries. The name of the Company was also changed to reflect the identity of its new owner.

GTL Registrars Limited has over the years built an enviable reputation in the industry as evidenced by the awards received from reputable institutions. Some of these awards include;

The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Nigeria award as the “Most Innovative and Customer-Focused Registrar” in 2011.
The Lead Africa Award for “Registrars of the Year” in 2012.
The African Governance & Corporate Leadership Award for “Best Share Registration Company” in 2012.

Doctrine, ritual, and myth are crucial, too, and on these, writes the College of Arts & Sciences professor, there is no meeting of the religious minds. For example, Christians who think they’re doing non-Christians a favor by saying they too can be “saved” ignore the fact that Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and Confucians either don’t believe in sin or don’t focus on salvation from it. (Hinduism, Daoism, and the African religion Yoruba round out the eight.)
