Nairaland and fake News these days, maybe until DSS arrest Seun nothing will be done

Oh my God, Khobe Bryant was an enigma, competing with Michael Jordan for best dunks

This is nothing but killing an ant with a sledgehammer, Man U shining against League 1 relegation zone team Tranmeeeee whose name sounds like the bleating of a goat

The attitude of some military personnel brings nothing but shame, you see them flogging civilians mercilessly because the civilian is not expected to retaliate against the man on uniform who did not respect himself and that uniform.

Ask some men who married the so called beautiful girls you are imagining, they get tired of them at short notice if her character is bad, they won't even notice the beauty anymore because of the hell they are passing through in their hands, it is people outside that will be reminding them that their wife is beautiful.
Haven't you seen on Nairaland throwback pictures of wives of celebrities looking so ugly and now they are transformed by money into stunning beauty?
Make money, spend it on her if she has the qualities you need and you will be shocked at the amazing transformation you will see in her.
As Igbos would say, Character is the Beauty of a Woman not current looks. Good women are hard to come across these day's.

Show love to the Muslims as a good Christian, Christianity means LOVE, Islam means PEACE even though some of the adherents don't keep to it

There is a woman in your neighbourhood finding it hard to buy milk for her baby, just surprise her and see the joy you will receive from her response, you will feel happy for the rest of the day

Biafra war was a conventional war fought in 1967 while Boko Haram war is Guerilla war in 2020. The tactics should be totally different and he should be seeking help from UN, but like he said to Lam Adeshina, why are your people killing my people, he is not ready to punish any Boko Haram but rehabilitate and release them to the society.

By equating Boko Haram with Biafra rebels I can conclude that Buhari is clueless about the fight against religious extremism.
Biafra had nothing to do with religion, Biafra represented tribes in the old eastern region. The international community sat down in Ghana and Ethiopia with Biafra leaders who were known both locally and internationally and easily reachable for talks unlike Shekau and Al Barnawi.
I feel he is sending a message to Yorubas on Amotekun with this comment

And this is news?

I am the man himself survived some days in courtesy of drinking gari
Nothing wey Ekaete no go see for Madam kitchen

Too many sissy Indomie generation on Nairaland who can't make simple decisions about relationships on their own.
Some will start with this line, 'I have to open this new moniker' to talk about my wife, we got married two weeks ago and I just discovered that she likes snake stories like Lalasticlala, please what should I do...,..

Back to your story, you don't like the girl, so why are you disturbing us and yourself, you want us to advise you to start liking her by force? Make una see me, see motorcycle o

NwaAmaikpe:




What happened to wives being submissive and the man being the head of the home?
Today's wife now wants to compete with the man.

She is a foolish woman who does not want peace in her home.
She knows what the problem is yet doesn't want to solve it and is out on radio seeking answers.
How much more confused can she get?

As long as that man paid her brideprice, everything she owns first belong to him and as long as her establishment did not dictate that the car is strictly for her use.
She should overlook his past wrongs and let her husband use it.

Because if she won't give it to him.
There are many other single but aged women willing to give him better cars in exchange for his surname.

One fact must remain awake even in the subconscious thoughts of a woman who is in coma and it is that,
Husbands are scarce, hold your own tight.

You are right, what is car compared to peace at home, give the man the car, let his conscience judge him, it may even turn him into a better husband

Awol1:
Kwankwaso is paying the price of fighting GEJ.

Again, he's a religious fundamentalist and a Fulani hegemonist just like Buhari, if not worst.

Aside that, Kwankwaso would have been PDP's shortest route to the Presidency in 2023.

Pair him with Peter Obi or Umahi, and PDP is ready.

He is a bigot with mass followership in the core north

I have observed that Igbo people value talent a lot, they would rather spray a talented Mad man singing than give money to a lazy beggar singing and begging for alms as we have here in the North.

Muslims here should please tell us the Ruling on Arresting cows for open grazing since every Friday, most of the topics on FP has to do with rulings, today there is even a ruling on how to Sh1t in the toilet.

It is a good thing to be proud of one’s country, and I am – most of the time. But it would be impossible to scan the centuries of Britain’s history without coming across a few incidents that evoke not pride but shame. Among those I would list are the creation by British officialdom in South Africa of the concentration camp, to persecute the families of Boers. Add to that the Amritsar massacre of 1919 and the Hola camps set up and run during the struggle against Mau Mau.

The northern and western regions were swept by a pogrom in which thousands of Igbo were slaughtered
But there is one truly disgusting policy practised by our officialdom during the lifetime of anyone over 50, and one word will suffice: Biafra.

This referred to the civil war in Nigeria that ended 50 years ago this month. It stemmed from the decision of the people of the eastern region of that already riot-racked country to strike for independence as the Republic of Biafra. As I learned when I got there as a BBC correspondent, the Biafrans, mostly of the Igbo people, had their reasons.

The federal government in Lagos was a brutal military dictatorship that came to power in 1966 in a bloodbath. During and following that coup, the northern and western regions were swept by a pogrom in which thousands of resident Igbo were slaughtered. The federal government lifted not a finger to help. It was led by an affable British-educated colonel, Yakubu Gowon. But he was a puppet. The true rulers were a group of northern Nigerian colonels. The crisis deepened, and in early 1967 eastern Nigeria, harbouring about 1.8 million refugees, sought restitution. A British-organised conference was held in Ghana and a concordat agreed. But Gowon, returning home, was flatly contradicted by the colonels, who tore up his terms and reneged on the lot. In April the Eastern Region formally seceded and on 7 July, the federal government declared war.

Biafra was led by the Eastern Region’s Oxford-educated former military governor, “Emeka” Ojukwu. London, ignoring all evidence that it was Lagos that reneged on the deal, denounced the secession, made no attempt to mediate and declared total support for Nigeria.

I arrived in the Biafra capital of Enugu on the third day of the war. In London I had been copiously briefed by Gerald Watrous, head of the BBC’s West Africa Service. What I did not know was that he was the obedient servant of the government’s Commonwealth Relations Office (CRO), which believed every word of its high commissioner in Lagos, David Hunt. It took two days in Enugu to realise that everything I had been told was utter garbage.

I had been briefed that the brilliant Nigerian army would suppress the rebellion in two weeks, four at the most. Fortunately the deputy high commissioner in Enugu, Jim Parker, told me what was really happening. It became clear that the rubbish believed by the CRO and the BBC stemmed from our high commissioner in Lagos. A racist and a snob, Hunt expected Africans to leap to attention when he entered the room – which Gowon did. At their single prewar meeting Ojukwu did not. Hunt loathed him at once.

My brief was to report the all-conquering march of the Nigerian army. It did not happen. Naively, I filed this. When my report was broadcast our high commissioner complained to the CRO in London, who passed it on to the BBC – which accused me of pro-rebel bias and recalled me to London. Six months later, in February 1968, fed up with the slavishness of the BBC to Whitehall, I walked out and flew back to west Africa. Ojukwu roared with laughter and allowed me to stay. My condition was that, having rejected British propaganda, I would not publish his either. He agreed.

Harold Wilson
‘Weapons and ammunition poured in quietly as Whitehall and the Harold Wilson government lied and denied it all.’
But things had changed. British covert interference had become huge. Weapons and ammunition poured in quietly as Whitehall and the Harold Wilson government lied and denied it all. Much enlarged, with fresh weapons and secret advisory teams, the Nigerian army inched across Biafra as the defenders tried to fight back with a few bullets a day. Soviet Ilyushin bombers ranged overhead, dropping 1,000lb bombs on straw villages. But the transformation came in July.

Missionaries had noticed mothers emerging from the deep bush carrying children reduced to living skeletons yet with bloated bellies. Catholic priests recognised the symptoms – kwashiorkor or acute protein deficiency.

That same July the Daily Express cameraman David Cairns ran off a score of rolls of film and took them to London. Back then, the British public had never seen such heartrending images of starved and dying children. When the pictures hit the newsstands the story exploded. There were headlines, questions in the House of Commons, demonstrations, marches.

As the resident guide for foreign news teams I became somewhat overwhelmed. But at last the full secret involvement of the British government started to be exposed and the lies revealed. Wilson came under attack. The story swept Europe then the US.

Donations flooded in. The money could buy food – but how to get it there? Around year’s end the extraordinary Joint Church Aid was born.

The World Council of Churches helped to buy some clapped-out freighter aircraft and gained permission from Portugal to use the offshore island São Tomé as a base. Scandinavian pilots and crew, mostly airline pilots, offered to fly without pay. Joint Church Aid was quickly nicknamed Jesus Christ Airlines. And thus came into being the world’s only illegal mercy air bridge.

On a visit to London in spring 1969 I learned the efforts the British establishment will take to cover up its tracks. Every reporter, peer or parliamentarian who had visited Biafra and reported on what he had seen was smeared as a stooge of Biafra – even the utterly honourable John Hunt, leader of the Everest expedition.

Throughout 1969 the relief planes flew through the night, dodging Nigerian MiG fighters, to deliver their life-giving cargoes of reinforced milk powder to a jungle airstrip. From there trucks took the sacks to the missions, the nuns boiled up the nutriments and kept thousands of children alive.

Karl Jaggi, head of the Red Cross, estimated that up to a million children died, but that at least half a million were saved. As for me, sometimes in the wee small hours I see the stick-like children with the dull eyes and lolling heads, and hear their wails of hunger and the low moans as they died.

What is truly shameful is that this was not done by savages but aided and assisted at every stage by Oxbridge-educated British mandarins. Why? Did they love the corruption-riven, dictator-prone Nigeria? No. From start to finish, it was to cover up that the UK’s assessment of the Nigerian situation was an enormous judgmental screw-up. And, worse: with neutrality and diplomacy from London it could all have been avoided.


Biafra is little discussed in the UK these days – a conflict overshadowed geopolitically by the Vietnam war, which raged at the same time. Yet the sheer nastiness of the British establishment during those three years remains a source of deep shame that we should never forget.

Justice Tanko should keep quiet, we have moved on, but then the judiciary has lost public trust under this regime

What will Tinubu do now, it seems the North is not ready to keep to the unwritten gentlemen agreement for power rotation with the South.
This is the reason it's difficult to trust a Fulani man with power and the reason behind their fight against Amotekun, they want to be in control of every aspect of our security and use it to dominate.
America is as strong as Somalia without its military and weapons under their control which can be deployed against those whom they think are against their interest, same way Python Dance can be used to crush any part of Nigeria that disagrees with them.

I wish to commend the SE for putting aside their demand for 2023 presidency to support Amotekun, the level of intermarriage between Yoruba and Igbo means that they should be concerned about each other's security for the sake of their children, Uncles, cousins etc across the divide.
That's why Igbo vs Yoruba fights end in the media and no fear of physical attack, but quarrel with the Fulani can see them deploying Boko Haram, Herdsmen, Bandits, repentant Boko Haram, kidnappers, beheaders, Nigeria Army, DSS, Police, under their control and command to attack and burn down any community like the did last week in Bayelsa under the cover of FG legality.

Kudos to the SE for openly supporting the SW on Amotekun despite subtle offers of 2023 presidency by Miyetti Allah, it shows that the SE and SW have concerns for safety and protection lives and properties in common

Picture of Papa Ejima manhood or he should be arrested and charged for false accusation.
Enough of this nonsense

In Kano every key politician has his own cap and colour, you can easily identify where each person loyalty lies in the streets of Kano

kjhova:
Nigerians are indeed a most callous set of people going by the comments above!

You know the part of the country most of the commenters come from, they want everyone to join Amotekun but won't help a fellow citizen to clear himself

They created a fake crisis just to trend in the news and many here stupidly fell for it, with MODs Pushing the fake News severally to FP

If they can't come together and decide on a highway that's just 130Kmrs , then who would do it for us ?.

This is the difference between Igbo and Yoruba politicians, the average Igbo politician will never stand in the middle like Tinubu, they take a side and stand by it. This is the reason a lot of Nigerians find it hard to trust Yoruba politicians

Gabkosh:
This will pain some people from E side.

To your dissapoint, the East actually supports Amotekun

Tinubu: A Little to the Left, a Little to the Right.
Tinubu is frantically trying to be in the middle by blaming both the Fulani and Yoruba extremists

Nothing seems to work in this country, even fake demonstrations dey explode.
