I can't fathom how Bala kept his job while Dedevbo got fired. But I would like the NFF to give our former Super Falcons more shots at coaching jobs. We should not have casted away Florence Omagbemi, she proved herself worthy and at the least she should be understuding our current coach. Most countries have female coaches for their female teams and the NFF should be working towards that.

North - South politics in Nigeria.

Shithole indeed.

OPC is a group populated by shameless cowards who thought Lagos is heaven on earth. It is very unfortunate that initial subjugation of Yari.ba people by the Caliphate had given the former the false sense of existence.

Okoroawusa is an empty-headed dingbat. Anyway, the blame should be leveled on the moronic Imolites who voted for this patented fool as a governor.

I'm wondering why this logic doesn't apply to the Igbo coup and Kaduna Nzeogwu Chukwuma.
Cos I remember clearly, you hypocritical Nigerians insisting that Nzeogwu remain Igbo, despite his Northern alcuturation ,just to drive home your Igbo coup agenda.

Achebe was roundly condemned by hypocritical Nigerians for trying to suggest that Nzeogwu was only Igbo by name.

Bros most Nigerians are polished fools. You have made nonsense of their hypocritical stream of thought.

An Igbo never changes his ancestral surname without a good reason, and even when he does, it wont be to an English surname. My coisin changed his surname from that of our ancestral great grand father to that of our grand father. So ask this general why he took an English surname over his ancestral Igbo surname

Most people from Nigeria tend to be cute with their names. I guess the Gen. never forgot where he hails by adding Ibe to name profile. By the way, why are certain goons completely out of human form because an Igbo chose to append an English name to his profile?

Sincerely speaking, we Ebonyians are not benefiting anything being in south East with all those callous Igbo brothers, even when I knew I'm better than you but because u are from Anambra or Imo state then I should fuckkk off.
Dave Umahi is on his own, we Ebonyians will take up arms when the need arise.

I guess you should be careful what you wish yourself. Dave Umahi will only last for 8 years as governor but Ebony State will never cease to be Igbo land. People say prevention is better then cure. When the need arises for the Ebonyians to take up arms, the entire Igbo land will not look the other way.

It depends on the consumption rates of the 400 properties. 85kW could be typo too.

No State Should Enact Anti-open Grazing Law Without Provision For Fulani Else… – Herdsmen

STATES in the country has been warned, in the interest of peace, not to enact and implement anti-open grazing law without provision for Fulani herdsmen.

This warning is coming from the coordinator of the Benue State chapter of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Alhaji Garius Gololo.

Gololo gave the warning in an interview with Sun Newspaper while detailing the genesis of the recent crisis in Benue State.

He said the state governor, Samuel Ortom, used, by raising the hopes of Fulani herdsmen while soliciting for their votes during his pre-election campaigns, and dumped them after he rode partly on their support to the Government House.

“I am saying that no state should enact or implement anti-open grazing law without making proper provision for the Fulani; if provisions are made, they can go ahead. For now, that is the condition and there will be no end in sight to the problem unless they make provision for the Fulani because they are citizens and have nowhere to go. It appears they want to deny Fulani their legal rights; their business, and from where they were born and bred; it’s not possible,” Gololo was quoted by the publication as saying.

He also asked former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, to apologize over a statement credit to him that herdsmen should be moved to Sambisa forest where they can openly graze their cows.

“I didn’t expect him to make such a comment that herdsmen should go to Sambisa, Obasanjo is against Fulani and we won’t take it. Why doesn’t he carry his cows to Sambisa forest? Obasanjo should apologize to us,” he said.

When asked wether it is true that rather than God, the Fulani worship their cow, he said, “Ah, ah, why won’t you worship what you are gaining from? They worship God, but they depend on their cow. If you want to marry, it’s from that cow; if you are going to the hospital, it’s from that cow, if you want to eat, it’s from that cow. So, for people to say Fulani worship cows, its clear; they must, because it’s from it they eke a living. Fulani does not need road, they don’t need electricity, and they don’t need a big house.”

He also debunked insinuations in some quarters that the spike in herdsmen attacks was because the country has a president from the Fulani extraction, saying not all the attacks in the state were carried out by herdsmen.

He, however, urged the federal government to intervene and take decisive action that will curb farmers and herdsmen clash across the country.

The dumbass fool named Alhaji Garius Gololo had simply exhibited the arrogance granted to them through the idiotic actions of certain goons during 1967 Nigeria/Biafra war. How can a person blame a dirty ninny who suddenly woke up on the corridor of power for his/her rascality?

The type of corruption worse than embezzlement of fund is the idea to weaponize a government agency such as EFCC. Muhammadu Buhari is corruption personified.

Ndigbo have failed woefully in the choice of their governors. They tend to choose individuals who are more desperate to make money and cut name for themselves than good governance. If the Fulani herdsmen ever attack any community where these silly governors have agreed to grazing colony, the revenge for so attack must be directed toward the governor's or ex-governor's family.

“If someone goes to take loan from a bank and presents forged documents, are we saying it is a civil matter between them? It is a case of alleged forgery and obtaining money under false pretence. We have a responsibility to investigate, and from our investigations, we can prosecute,” he told the committee.




Proper investigation should be carried out.

This case has been adjudicated by some of the highest courts in Nigeria. EFCC has no jurisdiction in a case or cases being adjudicated by courts or still pending in the courts of the land. The manner of idiocy being exhibited by the Nigerians who could have known better is the reason certain quarters of humanity called Nigeria a shithole.

You are very childish and ignorant. There is nothing such as ceremonial president in the 1959 and 1963 Nigerian constitution. Azikwe was Nigerian constitutional President, Head o State and C in C of the armed forces.

Good job in your studious endeavor to trace Igbo land. I suggest you keep it up and reiterate the facts whenever some goons are in doubt. In fact, large section of Ika L.G.A in Akwa Ibom is native to Igbo. The same could be said about Obubara L.G.A. in Cross River State. Under 23 above, I guess you meant Ndoki and Eleme. Elele is Ikwweere. However, some goons think that Eleme is Ogoni. Eleme is not Ogoni.

So he switched his Igbo surname "Ibe" to "Nicholas" in other to get ahead in the Army

Maj Gen. Rogers Ibe Nicholas was born on 12 June 1962 to the family of Chief and Lolo Nicholas Ibe in Kaduna. He hails from Umuaku in Alaeze Autonomous Community in Mbaitoli LG of Imo state.

You deceitfully forgot that his father's name is Nicholas. He chose to take to his father's name instead of his grandfather's name which is Ibe.

u font know the threat level north Korea has installed in the minds of its neighbours.the reason Egypt is in trouble with the u.s.a is because it bought military rocket launchers from n.k.
the reason why China is running is because n.k tested a hydrogen bomb at the China border.
someone has nukes you say it is prooanganda even the e.u gas woken up to reality

There are more things to secure than mere developing a nuclear weapon. I remembered when Iraq was touted as fifth largest army on earth yet it took only three divisions of mechanized army to destroy it. If not for the sake of humanity, in this case hapless North Koreans, the little misguided punk and North Korea would cease to exist in nuclear showdown with a country such as USA.

antiflathead:
Founder and leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, has described the Igbo as foolish.

The MASSOB founder insisted that Igbo may not become Nigeria’s president because they only fight for their pocket.

Speaking with Punch, Uwazurike recalled how Igbo was pushed aside after forming the former ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 1999.

He insisted that anyone calling for the unity of Nigeria does not mean well for the already troubled nation.

His words, “Remember, it was the Igbo man that formed this PDP but they snatched it from him. Then, it was clear that an Igbo man would be the President of Nigeria. But in Jos, it was the Igbo who robbed themselves of that opportunity. The Igbo at that political event in Jos started speaking Hausa.

“The Igbo started sponsoring (Olusegun) Obasanjo against (Alex) Ekwueme; giving N100 million and all that to another tribe to emerge. Let me tell you, the Igbo tribe is the most foolish tribe I have ever seen in the world.

“While the Yoruba embraced unity, the Igbo man was the person speaking Hausa in Jos; the Igbo man was the one donating money against his own brother in Jos to another candidate.

“Is that a wise tribe? Then, who should I apologise to for using the word ‘foolish?’ Then what have we achieved from the PDP? For how many years have the Yoruba people used the PDP? Eight years! Now, when it was the turn of the South-East, they sent it to South-South.”

"igbo are pigs" nnmadi kanu
"igbo are fools" uwazurike

pls how true is this?

It is clear who is more foolish than the other, Igbo or Chief Ralph Uwazurike. Any day the Sun rises from the east and sets in the west, I shall rather fight for my pocket than the presidency of the zoo called Nigeria. What an insult from a demented and imbecilic dolt.

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday warned Nigerians not to revenge attacks by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

Buhari, stated this while commissioning Comprehensive Special School, Lafia, Nasarawa State.

While condemning the attacks on Nigerians by herdsmen, Mr. Buhari noted that his administration would not tolerate the barbaric acts.

He added that the federal government was working hard to ensure that peace and stability returned to the North Central region which is mostly the recipient of the deadly attacks.

“I also want to assure the people of the north central and indeed all Nigerians that the federal government is working day night to ensure peace and stability returns.

“We have deployed additional resources to all the affected areas to maintain law and order.

“The attacks by suspected herdsmen and other bandits will not be tolerated.

“I appeal to all Nigerians to refrain from reprisal attacks. The security agencies have standing order to arrest and prosecute any and all persons found with illegal arms

“I will once again express my condolences and sympathy to all the affected victims of these barbaric acts,” he added.

since when calabars understand igbos...?....that doesnt make sense...ijaws...??...forget asari...asari is half igbo and cant represent all ijaws....it will not work....

The above statements portray you as a low life. According to you, there are "none igbotic deltans", there are "deltans" and probably there are native Igbo people in Delta State. When people are ashamed of their forefathers, they brand themselves as "deltans". No moronic slowpoke who has the effrontery to denigrate his or her forefather should be a Biafran. Biafra has never and shall not be the land of idiotic fools. There is no vacancy to for empty brains.

we felt insulted for including us in their dreams...

and when their moroonic leader named cownunu disappeared we rejoiced...

What makes you think that Ipobians are done from dreaming and the so-called deltans have shredded the idea of joining them in Biafra? Most Nigerians are irrevocably idiotic.

Igbos and pettiness.

What is this supremacy battle with the Yorubas?
I think both groups are confused.

Igbos have an inflated view of themselves and hardly live in peace with people outside their group. Get easily envious, runs to Dibia to truncate the progress of others. Have strong opposition to change except they are the creators or drivers of the change.....very hard working but legitimately and illegitimately. Igbos have great taste though unlike the Yorubas.

The Yorubas, have slippery relationship with the truth, they have phobia of all kinds and shapes. Very educated and can easily adjust to change and modernity.
Anyone can live with them without the fear of intimidation unlike the Igbos that scare people with the dropping of white substance in front of somebody's door......

I guess you meant to write about Yari.ba. Unlike most Nigerians, Ndigbo do not have time for juju and fetish crap. However, they will not back down for anybody. I use to destroy Omo Yari.bas' juju with a single leave of a certain plant.

This is a case of misplaced priority. I shall not even laugh for the cesspit called Nigeria.

It saddens me to see the deployment of soldiers and interrogation of a DPO because few Fulani people were killed in Gboko. The Fulani herdsmen have been created with numerous sacking of villages and communities in Nigeria without deployment of soldiers or quizzing a DPO. By the same token, I am equally saddened the Nigerians tend to slaughter each other on slightest provocation. There is no doubt Nigeria cannot continue to stand in this hateful form. Every Nigerian must strive to disintegrate the dilapidated and inconsequential country known as Nigeria.
