Proudlyomonna:


Why do you guys keep doing this degrading pattern of linking any opposing vioce to ipob with govt or fulani or afonja �

Ipob should please lay low for now.
They should disband their esn militia,all we keep getting in Igboland since they came into the picture is trouble upon problems �
You create an illegally armed militia as a secessionist movement and you think the govt will let them be?
It's no secret the bad blood the evil Fg has for Igbo,ipob bringing their militia into the land gives them the perfect excuse to carry out the ill intentions and brutalize the people.
I always knew this ipob thing is heading to no where but trouble,now I understand why the prominent men in Igboland will never support their movement.
All we get is constant call for destruction but zero call for building the region �
If you say ipob do not attack critics then you have made yourself equal with the BMC.
Maybe you don't stay in Igboland �.

Nobody has ever said that getting your freedom from oppressors will be easy. Your oppressors will NEVER give you your freedom because they thrive from it. It is the oxygen with which they live. In getting your God given freedom lives will be lost, parents will lose their children, children will lose their parents. Propagandas will be flying right left and centre. Don't be deterred, as long as you hang in there, and you are doing it for a just cause there will be freedom at last!

AkalaJ:


I am only seeing the struggle for what it is -- a detailed agitation. The moment ipob started arming it's followers to start creating mayhem in igboland, it became a cancer to the people it's supposedly meant to liberate. Personally I have nothing against the idealism behind the agitation, which as I understand it is for the creation of a sovereign igbo state.

But the moment the agitators start turning on the very people they claim to be trying the liberate by making their life in their homeland a living hell, then they've rubbished whatever legitimacy they're laying claim to, and it'll only make sense for Igbos of good conscience to denounce their activities. My commentary concerning the leadership tussle in ipob is but mere objective analysis of the situation.

First, IPOB has not come out to tell you they are the ones causing mayhem in the SE, your claims are faulty. Secondly, can you show me where you condemned in strong terms the killings and illegal arrest of IPOB members for mere peaceful protest. I know you are all government paid propagandists but you guys should try and be objective for once. The Nigerian state knows how to bring peace to the SE but they are too insincere to do this. The current situation can only get worse if the right thing is not done. You and I know this, and again stop playing the ostrich.

AkalaJ:


Context is irrelevant here dude. Are you telling me that ipob would remain leaderless in the event that MNK is sentenced to death (in a worst case scenario) or at best imprisoned for life? You sef reason am. The struggle (which didn't start with MNK) is supposed to be bigger than any single individual. Simon Ekpa is just activating a contingency plan, and I'm sure he's not the only one in the movement that considering or thinking about it, just that he's bold enough to make the move for the top spot. What is happening is not unusual under the circumstances. MNK himself broke from MASSOB due to perceived leadership wahala within the group.

Your comment is now at variance with what you previously wrote up there. You were mocking the struggle and most of your write ups were full of biased conjectures

AkalaJ:
Smh. How the hell did Ndigbo arrive at this juncture, where a bunch of unelected wannabe freedom fighters who have never empowered their kinsmen beyond handing them guns as weapons for the purposes of instilling fear in them are holding them hostage? Hhhoooowwww

We might be witnessing another change of baton in the never-ending Biafra actualisation struggle. Simon Ekpa is merely following in the footsteps of MNK who also felt the previous Baifra agitators incapacitated to do justice to the struggle. He has seen the handwriting; n the wall that MNK could be in prison for a long time, therefore he's positioning himself to assume the embattled MNK position as the authoritative 'Supleme Leader' authoritative. He better be prepared for a me serious competition for that position. Kai Biafra!

Some of you guys are just not smart at all or you are just playing the Ostrich, you write anything to earn your monthly 30k. Just read in between the lines, you will probably understand the context of his write up. And for Meleszanawi aka Osagyefo, his own is worse.

Na on top civilians dem dey get power. Shameless people

Are we to expect same from your parents when they get to his age?

You Igbos on this forum dont know what you're getting your entire tribe into. It's all fun and games right now.

Make una continue.

You and your likes can do nothing to the Igbos. Go take your drugs

FG knows what to do to make peace in the SE. FG should tow the path of equity and justice

First and foremost what ever statement claimed to have been made by Obasanjo was fake but this guy should just keep quiet and stop dabbling into Igbo affairs. He is not Igbo as he wants his zombies to believe

True, dem don mispronounce mine tire but I no send dem. They even attempted to shorten my name to something that sounds English I still refused to accept that. Una must learn to pronounce my name by force

Most of these laws are not fair to the male folks. A female white colleague crossed her hand on my neck sometime back, I did not make a fuse about it neither did anyone else. If na me try am now, maybe dem for call meeting for me. The truth is that always know the place where you live or work, be mindful of their rules both written and unwritten. Most importantly know about the people's culture, this will save you a lot,it will prevent you from putting yourself in trouble

Chimaraoke not Ken. Ken was the senate president, Chimaraoke was a governor.

Rudolf Okonkwo: Why Bola Tinubu lost 2023 presidential election

When it is all said and done, history will record that Bola Tinubu used the first part of his life to destroy the last.

RUDOLF OKONKWO • JANUARY 16, 2022

Bola Ahmed Tinubu

In his article, “Osinbajo’s Road to Abuja: The Untold Story,” Olawale Olaleye told how Osinbajo ‘defeated’ Bola Tinubu to become Muhammadu Buhari’s vice-presidential candidate.
According to the story, early in 2015, as soon as Buhari became the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu set up a committee to come up with a way to justify to the nation his inevitable choice as Buhari’s running mate. That was because the Buhari-Tinubu ticket would have imposed Muslim-Muslim candidates on Nigeria. One of the committee members was Yemi Osinbajo, the current Vice President of Nigeria. As the story went, Osinbajo expressed to the committee members that it would be difficult for him to go back to his constituency and explain the potential Muslim-Muslim ticket. Osinbajo’s discontent got to Bola Tinubu, and he held it as a grudge against his former Attorney-General when he was the governor of Lagos State.

While this was going on, Muhammadu Buhari’s committee set up to shortlist his possible Vice Presidential candidates arrived at three names. One of the names was Yemi Osinbajo. When Buhari took the three names to Bola Tinubu to give him the honor of picking one in recognition of his contribution to Buhari’s campaign, Tinubu flared up when he did not see his name on the list. In the intriguing negotiations and permutations that followed, despite Bola Tinubu’s initial rejection, Osinbajo ended up as the Vice Presidential candidate of Buhari instead of Tinubu.
That was how Tinubu lost out in his quest to be Buhari’s running mate in 2015. Of course, if Bola Tinubu had been Vice President for the last six year

The troubles with Bola Tinubu’s candidacy are enormous. Some are within his control, while others are not. No candidate for the presidency of Nigeria has ever come into the campaign with much political baggage as Tinubu, not even Muhammadu Buhari.

We can find in three folds everything wrong with Muhammadu Buhari in Bola Tinubu. In 2015, there was the myth that Buhari’s abbreviated performance in 1984 as the military Head of State was what Nigeria needed. We cannot say the same about Tinubu. Nobody can say that Tinubu’s abysmal performance as governor in Lagos State from 1999 – 2007 displayed any spark of brilliance that can make a dent in Nigeria’s precarious situation today. In 2015, some thought Buhari was disciplined. In 2022, everyone knows that Tinubu is not disciplined. In 2015, some saw Buhari as incorruptible. In 2022, everyone knows Tinubu as the epitome of bullion-van-level corruption in Nigeria. In 2015, some looked at Buhari as healthy and agile. In 2022, everyone knows Tinubu is ill and sluggish. In 2015, some perceived Buhari as someone that commanded respect within military circles. In 2022, everyone knows that the only military wings that respect Tinubu are the touts, alayes and the area boys.

Unlike Buhari, who had several opportunities to try, Tinubu has just one chance – 2023. It is a do-or-die situation for him. He has no second chance. If he doesn’t win, he goes home without fulfilling his dream. That puts tremendous pressure on the man.
So, we expect a vigorous campaign from Bola Tinubu. And as the first week of his one-shot campaign shows, it won’t be an easy ride for the self-described “kingmaker” who wants to be a king.

The self-inflicted personal baggage of Tinubu is well known to all. His inability to present a straight biography is one of them. Nothing about him is straightforward – his age, his name, his certificates, his schools (primary, secondary, university), his parents, his source of wealth, the state of his health, his ever-changing ideology, etc. Even his classmates are unknown. At least, Buhari has been taking pictures with his secondary school classmates as proof that he went to secondary school.

Though possession of a crooked biography has never stopped anyone from being the president of Nigeria, the case of Tinubu is so egregious. They are coming at a point when Nigerians are less tolerant of such character flaws. It does not help that more and more Nigerians are beginning to see the correlation between such flaws and the performance of the bearer, as Muhammadu Buhari exemplified. It does not help Tinubu that Nigerians are coming into a new awareness of how personal things affect professional things and how individual faults impact the collective interest of we, the people.

Of course, in Nigeria’s crooked democracy, the people have little say on who will ultimately become their president. The power brokers are the most significant determinants of who will emerge as president.
Here is what is working for Bola Tinubu.

If APC fields Tinubu as its presidential candidate, APC is finished. If APC does not field Tinubu as

If Tinubu were to become the presidential candidate of the APC, his first challenge is finding a Vice Presidential candidate that will be satisfactory to Northern leaders. As we have seen in the past, a Northern Christian is not satisfactory to the North as a vice presidential candidate when the presidential candidate is a Southern. It doesn’t matter if the Southern is a Muslim because, in the North, a Southern Muslim is not seen as authentic as a Northern Muslim. The North would rather have a Southern Christian president with a Muslim vice president than a Southern Muslim president with a Northern Christian vice president.

While a Muslim-Muslim ticket could win the presidency in 1993, it was unacceptable in 2015. And that was why Bola Tinubu was not named the Vice President to Buhari then. Buhari’s performance makes it ten times more difficult to sell a Muslim-Muslim ticket to Nigerians in 2023. Of course, Bola Tinubu thinks he can sell it, another indication that he lives in a world of those who have taken mkpurummiri. Tinubu thinks his Southwest base, known to care less about whether their leader is Muslim or Christian, will abide by him. This is so 1993.

But the truth is that the power brokers in the North are not going to take that chance. They instead back another candidate that will not bring about so many complications to their interest. And that is why they are leaving the room for a Northern candidate to be the presidential candidate of the PDP, just in case they need to default to supporting the party in 2023.

Another thing not working for Bola Tinubu is that in northern power circles, nobody trusts him. He is not an Obasanjo. In the past, he had expressed his distaste for one-Nigeria.

Coming out of NADECO, he once flirted with the campaign for a radical restructuring of Nigeria in ways the North detests. The bottom line is that Tinubu does not fit into the character that either the North or the South will want for president. No wonder the Southwest-based cultural group, Afenifere quickly disassociated themselves from his campaign for president.

When it is all said and done, history will record that Bola Tinubu used the first part of his life to destroy the last. He was not the first to do so. And he will not be the last. That realisation should console

Apt, for the unbiased and discerning mind!

We knew all the while. FG is shopping for public sympathy by churning out lies for their zombies. Bunch of scumbags, they know they have no case against MNK.

Wike dealing with IPOB front and back.

God bless wike

Some of you just come online to spew thrash. So in your small brain, you believe their are no indigenous Igbos in rivers state

He should continue sitting on the bench till ad infinitum

Lukaku should be on the bench, I never wanted him in Chelsea in the first place. I blame Timo Werner for all this, if he wasn't misfiring, who would have thought of bringing a player like Lukaku to the club. Someone that can't even trap ball. Horrible first touch and he is now claiming superstar

Omicron spreads faster than the previous variants. It is not just in Nigeria, for us in the diapora as well. For the past two weeks, it's been off and on fever, body pain and fatigue even with double vaccination. Lots of Nigerians think it's malaria because of similarity of symptoms

Bunch of unity beggars. Na una go tire, the typical Igbo man is resilient, you can't break us. Never!

Ohaneze Youth or whatever thats an empty, baseless and incomplete, statement

A government which will kidnap someone from Kenya knows that is illegal so you don't need to remind them, what I expected was that so and so would happen If you don't release him, but if you have nothing to say, then leave the legality to the lawyers.

You don't tell everyone what is an open secret and that makes it feel like an insult to the sensibility of reasonable people.

What I expected was an "IF" statement, like If Kanu is not released from this illegal incarceration that so and so would be done, otherwise the statement above just feels like a kindergarten kid reading from the playbook

I totally agree with you. All this playing to gallery by politicians should just stop

Has Nnamdi Kanu complained he doesn't want to see Orji Uzor Kalu?

Did you read the article before commenting? Has Nnamdi Kanu come to inform you that he was happy with the deceit by Orji Uzo Kalu and his DSS partners in crime

Good he realized on time. When Nnamdi Kanu told them that the Lower Niger guy, Tony Nnadi was a fraud, they didn't listen

RIP Lad. Too much pressure on a male figure
