In response to a question posed by a journalist enquiring if he intended to go into partisan politics, following his suspension and sack as CBN Governor, former Emir Lamido Sanusi Lamido responded that he was focused on being appointed as the next Emir of Kano. When told by the journalist if it wasn't better for him to go into partisan politics and run for the office of the President, Sanusi replied that ; "anyone can be President of Nigeria but not everyone can be Emir of Kano".

Obasanjo might not have been privy of that interview when he made that careless and reckless statement that he being a former President enjoyed seniority in protocol over every Oba or king in Yoruba land.


Now that the Yoruba Council of Obas has rightly stripped Obasanjo of all chieftaincy titles and traditional office roles, Obasanjo should reflect deeply in those very wise words from Sanusi Lamido.

The British came and left . The Obas are still there.

We have had several leaders from Prime Minster to Head of States to Presidents that come and go as the political situation dictates but the Obas are still there.

I am begining to believe the rumour that Obasanjo's real roots are not of Yoruba but from that blighted region across the Niger where respect for elders are absent.

No other former General , HoS and President whom Obasanjo imbibes all titular nomenclatures will dare ridicule and dismiss the traditional authorities of their forefathers.

The Obas respected Obasanjo as an elder and chief in Yoruba land by obeying his command for them to standup and never imagined he would insult their position.

To me , this last display by Obasanjo proves he was and is never a Yoruba man or even a Nigerian for that matter as no person from Nigeria will dare publicly insult their cultural elders in public .

We know the people who have this trait in them and they refuse to identify as Nigerian.

Blakjewelry:
Julius is Augustus grand uncle so you see they are related by blood.

Is that the same as a direct blood line ?

HardBishop:
Respect respect hen hen hen........
You should respect a military general who has the capability of leading an army. You bloody civilians who don't know to defend yourself will be ranting ..............
20 yrs old ko or no...... Respect trash trash....

The only people who should have permanent reverence for Obasanjo are those who submitted their surrender to him.

Caesar a mad dog? Really?

Yes .


He saw himself above the Senate and wanted to be crowned supreme ruler above his pears .


The glorification of Julius Caeser is only done by monarchs or communists who both abhor democracy .

Blakjewelry:
Las Las his dreams were achieve via his bloodline.

Julius Caeser never had any surviving blood heir .


His own son with Cleopatra was murdered by the orders of his appointed heir, Augustus Caeser.

FG should not spend a dime on any Biafran road.

I've heard about him being a homosexual from someone residing in the US who knows him very well. The truth is that Reno is not who he projects himself to be. Man is deceitful in nature.

I also heard Obi is a homosexual as well.

Malroux:
Focus on the message and leave the messenger.

That advice should be applied to you idiots that are attacking Reno's person instead of his take on issues.


Rebut Reno's recollections of the civil war and not his person.

Ewu Biafra pig

Corridon:
You truly knows who that charlatan called Reno is. I don't doubt a bit of everything you said about him. Someone that claims to be a pastor yet he used Leah Sharibu's name to defraud many people of their hard earned money. This man is a big fraudster.

All these personal attacks on Reno will not change a damn thing about your sordid history and current attempts to instigate war and chaos in Nigeria .


Zionist heathen pigs

Malroux:
I only pity the people who takes Reno Omokri aka Wendell Simlin serious. Only if they know who exactly he is in real life. A 'pastor' who abandoned his legally married wife with three children including twin boys for an Ethiopian hooker whom he impregnated out of wedlock. A randy man that sleeps with both males and females. Do you think his three children including twin boys will ever forgive him in this life for putting their beloved mother in a family way and abandoning them to impregnate an Ethiopian prostitute that houses and feed him? A so called pastor that keeps preaching hate against a particular ethnic group simply because they refused to support his choice presidential candidate. God is indeed a merciful God by still allowing this deceitful being to be using his name to deceive the gullibles. A closet homosexual.

Reno is doing well exposing you vipers to this current naive and ignorant generation.


Rebut his claims and stop attacking his person .

You idiots attacking him shows the world that Reno is telling the bitter raw truth.

ictplotter:
Paganism is still far better than Christianity because Christians are people without faith but miracle manufacturing business centers, Africa hav the highest number of Christians on earth because of poverty. Remove poverty away from Africa, nobody will go to church.
In Christianity alone we hav four different type of Bible with different books and content.
1. The Catholic Bible
2. The KIng James Bible
3. The slave Bible
4. The orthodox Bible.
Jesus is from middle east but Rome in Europe is the headquarter of Christianity.

Heathen pig.

You hate Christianity and think Satanism aka Judaism will be your saving grace.

Your atheist Marxist parents found out the hard way .

Obi that thought he could fool God by abusing the church ground for his bigoted sectarian political campaign found out the hard way.

Now you think Satan can grant you your Biafra ?

You are free to sell your condemned souls to the devil but henceforth , keep Christianity and the church out of your latest madness.

This 49years old man have never hidden his drinking problems as an Alcoholic and his adultery problems can be seen from the number of wives he has.

He has never spoken against Yahoo menace or against ritual killings or against Islamic terrorism. He has never spoken against gays or homosexuals. Let him dare speak against same sex marriage his sponsors will cut off his allowances. But Christians the most peaceful people on Earth are who he hates and they are his prey.

From Christian burial Ceremonies to Christian women he condemns , our Christian religious leaders he doesn't spare them, our Churches too he attacks. He condemns payment of tithe and offering in Church, but supports Christians endulging in alcoholism, polygamy and divorce. Most of his writings check in-between the lines the motive is he wants to make the Muslims and Atheist happy. The same people Jesus is bringing thousands of them into Christianity. This man is doing everything to frustrate the gospel of Love and Forgiveness from spreading into the World. IF JESUS SAID THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST MY CHURCH WHO IS HE?

I also criticize Government but the day this man insulted former President Buhari "Olori buruku" I cringed and I said this is the hieght of madness to insult the President of a country no matter how you hate him.

THIS IS THE YOUNG MAN WHO WANTS TO REDEFINE CHRISTIANITY

Copy the entire first post and paste it on Google search and see if it won't return you to Achebe .

Raskimonojendor:
That's what they do all the time. Rex recorded the "goats are crying" song in his mother tongue.

I have seen publications done in 1904, 1913, through to publication during the first and second world war. Using Google will reveal these publications, including cartoons. Why is it that this so called drawn cartoon done in just recent 1966 cannot be validated with evidence. Can you post any of such cartoon here so we all can see it>

Those words were from Achebe himself.

Besides, after the pogroms, any 0koro having one in his possession was not told before he destroyed it.

Raskimonojendor:
Rex Mother is from Owerri, Imo state. He loves the Igbo part of himself just like GRV that can speak Igbo but can't speak Yoruba.

They are denying their hit song and it's artiste .

You see these ewus from the yeast .

No truth can come out of them.

EmperorCaesar:
Really?
Even the most succesful Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar(Closely followed by Marcus Aurelius) wasnt celebrated either

Just google "Tacitus on Augustus"

Augustus forced history to be rewritten many times to hide his flaws and negative characters so much that aside Tacitus account(He lived barely 50years after Augustus died), other accounts made him appear like a true Augustus(Divine Chosen)


Julius was a dictator, thats fine but i struggle to admit that he wasnt celebrated after his death


July was named after him
Caesar was incorporated into the names of like 10 Emperors after him, in a span that lasted over 100years yet even Julius himself wasnt an Emperor


He couldnt have been celebrated more...Not even Marcus Aurelius was so immortalized

The Plebs celebrated him for his generosity and exploits in conquering Gaul.

The wise Senate knew him as an over ambitious tyrant who was heavily in debt.

Caeser only took Rome to get to her treasury to repay his lenders who financed his military campaigns in Gaul and whom Caeser could not offset his debt to them owing to the fact that there was no loot in Germany .

gidgiddy:
Laughable historical reprobates.

Gowons Decree 14 and 15 are already plastered all over the internet to tell the present and future generations the truth

The rest of you can keep talking nonsense

Ibo historian that has a very bias recollection of events between 1966 to 1967.


This is your only field of expertise - spewing handed down Biafra propaganda and IPOB lies.


History my ass.

Racoon:
The simple moral lesson of this gory incident is the saying "absolute power corrupts absolutely" Hence always give rise to desperate intra-institutional power tussle. Brutu's being part of the conspiracy is justifying of the saying "a man's enemy is of those of his own household."

Brutus acted in the interest of Rome and did the right thing in putting that mad dog down.

EmperorCaesar:
Julius wasnt an Emperor


He was just a Gov/head of a Roman Province


He wanted to become an Emperor but couldnt actualize the dream

His godson/ grandcousin Augustus Caesar was the First Roman Emperor....


Its still all fair as Caesar was added to the names of all Roman Emperors just to honor Julius, Plus, Augustus live to fulfill the livelong ambition of his Granduncle and mentor

He wasn't a governor but a Senator and part time General or rather a war lord seeking fortune and glory for himself.

An extreme narcist and a tyrant who thought himself to be like Alexandria the Great.

Caeser was a failure and was not celebrated by Romans.

I think this belongs here for I see the 0koro of an OP is subtly promoting a dictator just as the Buharist Zombies wanted to give Buhari fiat powers early in his dreadful adminstration.

Just like the zombies of wretched memory, our 0koros are now glamourizing coups and clamouring for one in Nigeria.

This topic by the insuferable Obidient OP is a subtle way of promoting dictators and I believe he wants to draw parallels with Ironsi's rightful execution to that of Julius Caesar.

There are similirities between Caeser and Ironsi for both were controlled by Jews and were above their heads in the affairs they had ventured into and the aftermath of their foolishness cost Rome her democracy and led to her decline.

So this repost below is very relevant to counter the rubbish of glamourizing Caeser which the OP is doing.

ImadeUReadThis:
The Worst Democracy is better than the best dictator.

We owe Shakespeare a lot in re branding the wannabe dictator Julius Caeser into a Roman martyr.
According to Shakespeare, whose plays were bankrolled by the British Crown, Brutus and Cassius were not only traitors but treacherous fellows of the worst kind who assassinated Julius Caeser in cold blood.

While Shakespeare did acknowledge Brutus' motives in assassinating Caeser (for Brutus stated that Rome must remain a democratic Republic) Shakespeare failed to portray Caeser in his true colors. Caeser's ambition to transform the Republic to his personal Kingdom was doused by Shakespeare who wanted us to believe that the Roman proletarian class were the ones urging Caeser to assume maximum powers as Rome's first despotic ruler.

When Caeser crossed the Rubicon river, he did this not as a showcase of his military conquest of Gaul in a victory parade in Rome but as a final putsch towards assuming supreme powers and authority over Rome.
This is how the idiom "Crossing the Rubicon" came about which means to pass a point of no return. Julius Caesar uttered the famous phrase "alea iacta est"—the die is cast as his army marched through the shallow river - an act which was considered an insurrection and treasonable offence. Caeser's deliberate act of treason which he committed by Crossing the Rubicon was premeditated and well planned towards seizing power for himself and bringing to an end the Roman democratic tradition . Even the word "cease" owes it's origin to Julius Caeser.


Now why will Shakespeare distort history in his plays? Well, Shakespeare happened to have enjoyed a very generous annual pension from the British Crown and patronage among the English nobility during his time. There are even speculations that Shakespeare may not have authored most of his plays. Around 230 years after Shakespeare's death, doubts began to be expressed about the authorship of the works attributed to him. Proposed Yvette's candidates include Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, and Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford.

The Elizabethan era began the erosion of monarchial powers with mounted pressure by some members of the political class demanding the Monarchy assume ceremonial roles. It is thus, not coincidental that Shakespeare will rewrite the history of ancient Rome in an attempt to portray the Roman Senate as treacherous. Shakespeare's caricature depiction of Cassius as sickly and bent was a personification of democracy and the legislative powers of elected officials below that of the Monarchy. Hence the need to depict Cassius, a standing Senator of Rome, as a sickly angry leach!

The final outcome of Caeser's attempt at assuming full maximum powers is that Rome ceased to be a democracy, a civil war ensued and the man Caeser died and with him the glory of a democratic Republic of Rome.

Just like Shakespeare (or his nobility muse) we have today a very active propaganda machinery desperate at un-bundling the Senate and ushering in a despotic ruler.

Racoon:
Caesar, who had been declared Rome's dictator for life the previous year, entered the Senate Meeting Room in the Pompey Theater at about 11:30 a.m. and took his seat, unaware that among the hundreds of senators assembled there that morning, there were about 50 who were conspiring to murder him.

Caeser's assassination was justified because he had staged a coup on the Republic and declared himself supreme ruler over Rome - a title and position that was foreign to the Greeco-Roman democratic tradition.

Caeser's treason was buoyed by his need to settle humongous debt he had piled up in his vain ambitions to aspire to the heights of the Greek General, Alexandria .

His campaign in Gaul and Germany had been financed from Jewish money lenders and after finally conquering the northern lands, there was nothing to plunder to repay his loans to his Jewish lenders.

Caeser will do the unfanthomable thing and set his eyes on Rome and for the treasury.

Caeser was despised by most Roman scholars .

He was only rehabilitated by Shakespeare which we now know was not the real author behind his plays but a certain Jew who courtered the English court.

There were growing anti monarchial sentiments in England and a call for another charter for more democracy.

Shakespeare's rendition of Julius Caesar as one who was unjustly murdered by a bunch of conspirators was meant to sway sympathy towards the reigning King and the monarchy.

Julius Caesar is only remembered in good light because of Shakespeare and the. English nobility .

To the average Roman back then he was a tyrant and deserved what he got.


Julius Caesar gave us the English word : "Cease", that is to bring to an abrupt end.

The reign of the Caesers saw to Rome's terminal descent into decay and eventual end.

Jewish usury and one man's grand delusions saw to an entire democratic empire collapsed.

Same thing is happening now in the JewSA.

Okay.
Even in times of extreme war, NCOs cannot fly fighter Jets? Even if it's senior NCOs?

There are war time commissions that will see to an NCO being promoted to an officer but this is always due to a shortage of manpower and mostly from ground forces mainly infantry where a platoon or company officer is either KIAed or severely wounded and FOB will comission the highest ranking NCO to continue the mission under a new war rank. Usually after a mission or the end of the war, the NCO reverts back to his pre war rank and cadre.

Commissioning NCOs to fly combat missions has never happened because of the skill requirement of manning the equipment and doing combat sorties.

This will be like asking a nurse assisting a surgeon to continue an operation after the surgeon suddenly passes out mid surgery. Not going to happen.

GreaterFuture:
Okay.
Even in times of extreme war? NCOs cannot fly fighter Jets?

No.

As I said only in the US armed forces are NCOs allowed to fly aircrafts but not in a combat role.

NCOs can only fly MedEvacs , transport cargo aircrafts and in some low rated intelligence gathering , recon flights.



I don't know of Drone aircrafts but I believe ground pilots are usually NCOs but under very strict command supervision of a superior commanding officer in a mission situation room.
The command to initiate a direct strike from a Predator drone will come from a joint task force headed by a mission commander usually a one star ⭐ Briggs and above.

gidgiddy:
This a lame attempt to blame Ironsi for what he did not do. So a civil servant in the Eastern or Western Region will stop doing his her duties to tye Region thst pays him or her because their was unification? The only way Ironsi could have denied the Regions control of their resources or appropriated what was due to them was by decree. Which decree did Ironsi pass altering the revenue shearing formula agreed at independence? None

But Gowon came after Ironsi, used decree 14 to dissolve all 4 Regions, created 12 new states, then used decree 15 to end resource control. Woukd Gowon be ending resource control with decree 15 if Ironsi had already done it

Stop spreading falsehood and lies, Gowons decree 14 and 15 are on the internet for all to read

For years you people kept spreading lies about Ironsi, not knowing that the age of social media would come when lies can be debunked at the click of a button

Google Gowons decree 14 and 15 and cure your ignorance

Keep spewing your saliva tainted lies about Gowon being the one who destroyed the regions.

It was your useless Ironsi that reduced regions to provinces .


Gowon reverted that nonesense and instead created states.


Do only hangover from your Ironsi decree 34 was resource control especially concerning oil nationalisation that put the oil wealth in the hands of the federal government and this was Obasanjo's doing .

Stop blaming Gowon you this inebriated 0koro palm wine drunk.

Areas and states that obey and comply with IPOB sit at home curfew have since spoken.

These are the five current SE states. No more, no less.

Tell your leaders to move a motion for Biafra seccesion citing the sit at home compliance as a valid referendum and arrived decision to leave Nigeria.

Goodlyhrt:
With time the earth will purge itself from your kind for the sake of humanity and its prosperity.

Is this how you will remain in Egypt and be doing Zion by zoom in your Alaigbo Goshen ?

We are now fully committed to your exit. Why should this be a problem ?

The people you say hate you so much have agreed that you go your seperate ways. Why not start packing to your heavenly Alaigbo ?


Pathetic cretins.

Openfortruth:
I greet you all Nairalanders.

Please permit me to share this thing my brother is doing to me.

As my life was about to become useless in the village, I came to the city to stay with my older brother and learn phone repairs.

My plan is to have this handwork so that when i gain admission, i wont rely totally only on education which has failed many in the country.

But my blood brother I'm staying with is behaving unkind to me as though i am a total stranger to him. Even total strangers deserve better treatment.

I'm only an apprenctice and yet to start making money. Most of the days, i trek to the place and return because I dont have transport.

He leave house first before me and return before me too. Before I would come back, he would cook noodles and finish it, washed the pot and everything and keep them clean as though nothing happened. Sometimes he eat outside and come back home and ignore me.

Except there's another way for me, that is how I would go hungry throughout the night and as early as possible in the morning, he would leave the house without reasoning anything food.

I'm seriously starving. I thought he would share the little he has with me till I also start making money. Is this how a senior brother should behave with the junior one?

He's being unkind to me and now I feel like hiding the Garri I brought from the village from him.

But is this how we should behave as blood brothers?

He can't even be there for me to free from this apprenticeship.

Ibo amaka
