The prophetic landscape has never been as clear as it has been right now!

Global events are reaching a great crescendo and the perfect prophetic storm is about to break out!

Wars and rumors of wars are out of this world..
More virulent pandemics of both known and unknown diseases.
Increasingly more devastating earthquake activity.
Unprecedented and escalating volcanic eruptions, Abnormal weather patterns, global drought, Worldwide famine.
Round the clock total surveillance of every person on earth
Loss of all personal freedoms, personal property, and all civil liberties
Increased violence, breakdown of law and order
So-called “alien” disclosure and “contact”.
Nuclear conflict.:
It’s all coming, and it’s all converging right now in real time.

The next prophetic event to occur will be the sudden snatching away of the Remnant Church “when the impossible to believe becomes impossible to ignore.”

Be Ready Folks! Be Ready! Make Peace with JESUS Christ by Surrendering the totality of your life to JESUS Christ and Live in Preparation of HIS imminent Coming.

On the day the trumpets sounds, a lot of people are gonna wish they listened to this Crazy JESUS/ Endtimes preacher.

The people who believe in the so-called Jesus of bible are the ones causing all the troubles in the world. The whole of the west have bible as their guide, add Russia and Israel to them. They are all Bible thumpers. Yet they ask us to look the other way towards the few Muslim criminals they created by themselves, so as to denigrate the Muslims. The true antichrist are the Christians themselves. Because they are not following the true teachings of Jesus Christ, but rather, their own whims and caprices.

Sir/ma,

I guess you know we all can choose to help whomever we desire to help. No man can help everyone.

This man has done his bit by helping this family. We cannot force him to help any other person. Rather, we should call on other philanthropists to arise to the occasion.

Let's not turn this into a religious debate.

The pastor does not owe anyone any apology for helping Deborah's family. Neither does he owe anyone any apology for not helping other victims of violence.

Your post lacks gratitude. He is not obligated to do anything for anyone. It is the government that owes us all such an obligation.

I think it's better we thank the man and move on whole hoping that others arise to help other victims of violence and all.

I am not condemning the assistance he gave them. I am only condeming the hypocrisy behind the assistance. Let him search his conscience if he truly was helping or making a statement of bias.

PAGAN9JA:
May more of them die until they become extinct from Nigeria.

That’s good news to a wicked soul.

Verdict16:
You call a good deed hypocrisy? Your FOOLISHNESS is inborn. You have no conscience, you have a wicked heart hence you can't see the good in what the man of God deed. It's difficult for you to appreciate good thing. You are a demon, people like you don't deserve to be among humans

You can call me all manner of names for all I care. Truth is golden. There’s no good deed in hypocrisy and showmanship. We all know his intention. His intention is to paint some people in black. I am against jungle justice whether for a Christian or Muslim. To treat a group differently is hypocrisy. The poor pregnant woman and her 4 children are human beings too. They were killed near his backyard in the east. Why is that not evoking any humanity in him? Conscience is an open wound. Only the truth can heal it…. Uthman Dan Fodio.

I have a big probem.

I'm always peeping on my neigbhours/friends unclothedness when ever they are taking their bath.

It all started six years ago during my ND in school, & up till now, i'm still living with it.

During my ND, there is no famale tenant that i didn't see her unclothedness to more than a million time, even when i went back for my HND, i did thesame thing.

I'm currently serving right now, and i'm still doing thesame thing here. I peep on my neigbhous and fellow corps member here.

I've been doing this for six years, and i've never being caught. Sometimes i ask God; why was i not being caught all those times in school, why didn't GOD want me to get caught.

I've tried every possible means to stop it, but all failed, even when i don't want to do it, my spirit will keep pushing me & if i don't do it at that time, i won't rest.

It seems i can't live without it.

I know someday i will be caught and embarrassed and get my pictures uploaded online for this crime.

I'm afraid, i need help.

Go and marry. Your problem will be solved.

And what will he donate to the family of Fulani Muslim killed by Christian IPOB members, including the unborn baby and the 4 children? Hypocrisy stinks everywhere.

Who developed lagos? In your mind tinubu who reaped from lagos, developed lagos right? Please don't fool your self. Lagos should have been more than what it is now, if we lagos still had a governor like late lateef jakande, fashola or ambode. Left for this incumbent governor imposed by tinubu, lagos is in a big mess, lagos was already a fast developing state due to foreign investment which were attractive due to the commercial value, as a result of population and consumption. Don't forget lagos was once the state capital, thank God. State capital was moved to abuja, if not this lagos won't have contained majority of the south westerners. Let's not fool our selves. Lagos already had an existing massive market value. Unlike any other state in nigeria.

I was old enough through all the regimes including Jakande. And I can authoritatively tell you that Tinubu was the best. He was the best when you consider his achievements on the background of not getting federal allocation for 3 years. Show me any Governor in NIGERIA since independence who did not get federal allocation and could still boast of meaningful development. He laid the template for Eko Atlantic City, the free trade zone, the agencies like LAWMA, LASTMA and many more. He employed street sweepers despite no federal allocation. He increased IGR as earlier stated, he reformed civil service and increased teachers salary, and many more. Subsequent governors are using his template to develop Lagos. Yet you are shouting here that he embezzled money. Are you okay at all?

toujurs:
Efcc was dead under pdp. Tinubu stole alot from lagos state, he can't explain the source of his wealth, he is a thieve. A thieve is a thieve.

He stole a lot on your dream. Where did he then get money to develop Lagos? How did the IGR grow from 60 million to 100 billion? Will you stop this wailing? Your claim cannot be supported by facts.

If Wike becomes PDP Flagbearer (God forbids), PDP should get ready to remain in opposition because we must Vote against them during general election until they get sense and start supporting credible Candidate. Everything is not all about money.

Enough of this madness. Wike must go down, same thing with Tinubu..


This country must be clean by force!!!

Will you keep kwayet on Tinubu? You have no evidence against him. He left government over 16 years ago, even PDP government could not find anything against him. Stop witch-hunting against him unless you have your evidence.

The biggest wailing of the century has just commenced. Far greater than that of their junkies on Nairaland. Lol.

It’s the opposite because there’s music and everyone happy. Oshinbajo is definitely losing.

AntonVince:
Nobody owes Tinubu nothing.

Democracy has already made him richer than he could ever possibly be in life.
As we speak, his Alpha-Beta company still dubiously steals about 14.6% of Lagos State's earning EVERY 30 DAYS! in the name of "Tax Consulting" This is besides the tons of other assets belonging to the state that he has cornered for himself and family.
He should rather thank his lucky stars the Nigeria has a virtually non-existent Justice System otherwise he'd be cooling off in jail by now.

We have repeatedly told you lot that the destinies of over 200million Nigerians SHALL NOT be traded for political compensation just to satisfy the greed-driven cravings of one frail and demented octogenarian looter. That man is everything a Nigerian president MUSN'T be.

Anyone who feels indebted to him can go erect monuments in his honour and pay him daily obeisance...that's none of Nigerians' business but the presidency especially at this critical time requires a young, healthy, cerebral and above all relatively-clean leader to take us out of the doldrums.

He was rich before entering democracy. And he enriched democracy. He left Lagos better than he met Lagos. And he spent money on APC far more than your oga who gives you peanuts to shout on NL. He deserves to earn where he has invested. Tell your oga to also invest in APC before wanting to reap anything.

Well his parents died that's the most important thing and the second most important thing is, he made sacrifices and what matters now is that Buhari adopted him ever since and became protective, even if he miss the presidency, Buhari had tried for him, APC owes him that's all,

APC owes him nothing. Rather he owes APC a debt of gratitude for protecting and finding a soft landing for him.

nairavsdollars:
no matter how powerful you are, you can't fight the president. If Buhari says no, there is nothing Tinubu can do

You are wrong. Buhari is not a dictator. And if he betrays Tinubu nobody will trust the north forever. That’s backstabbing and they know it. Wait and see!

nairavsdollars:
EFCC will soon persuade him to do so

If EFCC under PDP government could not find anything wrong with him, even though he has always been their number 1 enemy, how could they find anything wrong with him now.

AlexBells:
What you are saying is tantamount to cajoling a widow wife of a soldier who died fighting for his country, you call Amechi a political orphan whose parents died making sacrifices for APC, well Mr. President Adopted that orphan, the joke Is on you

You are wrong. His parents died while making sacrifices for PDP, not APC. He was only rescued in APC. Everyone knows this.

AlexBells:
That's where you get it wrong you over emphasise your own importance, so in your book Amechi became a political refugee, are you not saying same thing I said with laced language, how come a former governor of Rivers state can go all way low, if not becuase he didn't look behind while giving all his best for APC, If APC is reasonable, Amechi should be compensated with something meaningful

Answer my questions and stop meaningless rhetorics. These questions are valid. Amaechi was a political orphan looking for safe landing after being lynched in Rivers by Wike. He was brutalised and he knew his days in PDP were numbered, he had no option than to commit political harakiri. Then found a safe landing provided by APC. That’s his story, we know this. We were alive and old enough to know the true story. I don’t forget things like most people.

Revealed: U.S Federal Agents Link Bola Tinubu to drug Trafficking Ring in Chicago

Facts have emerged that the erstwhile Governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu may have been involved in a white heroin trafficking network which operated in Chicago and some parts of Indiana and led by one Adegboyega Mueez Akande between 1988 and 1993. The source of the white heroine was identified as one Mr. Lee Andrew Edwards who was incarcerated for attempting to murder a federal agent while the agent was executing a search warrant on him.

According to the Verified Complaint for forfeiture in case No. 93 C 4483 which was filed on July 26, 1993 before the Hon. Judge Nordberg of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the United States Government urged the Court to order the forfeiture of funds in accounts Nos. 263226700 held by First Heritage Bank in the name of Bola Tinubu, funds in accounts 39483134, 39483396, 4650279566, 00400220, 39936404 and 39936383 held by Citibank N.A in the name of Bola Tinubu and funds in accounts 52050-89451952,52050-89451952, 52050-89451953 held by Citibank in the name of Bola Tinubu because there was probable cause to believe that the funds in Tinubu’s bank accounts represented proceeds of narcotics trafficking or were monies involved in financial transactions in violations of 18 U.S.C, sections 1956 and 1957 and therefore, was forfeitable to the U.S Government.

However, in a tacit defense of the ownership of the funds, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu averred in Court that the funds belonged to himself, his wife, K.O Tinubu and his surrogate mother, Alhaja Mogaji and warranted that they had exclusive right, title and interest to the funds.

In an affidavit sworn to by Kevin Moss, a Special Agent with the United States Internal Revenue Service, criminal investigation division in support of the verified complaint for forfeiture of Bola Tinubu’s moneys held in various Bank accounts, the agent gave a vivid account of how he came to the conclusion that the funds were proceeds of narcotics transaction in violation of the U.S law.

Mr. Moss averred that prior to and during 1988; the government became involved in the investigation of a white heroin trafficking network operating in Chicago, Illinois and Hammond, Indiana. The investigation disclosed that an individual known as Lee Andrew Edwards was a source of white heroin. The government sources provided information about Lee Andrew Edwards including the identity of a telephone number which activated in electronic pager. This pager according to him was to be called to place an order for white heroin. According to Mr. Moss, this pager was subscribed to by one Adegboyega Mueez Akande who at that time was a resident of Chicago.

Mr. Moss further averred that during February 1988, an individual named Abiodun Agbele arrived in the U.S from Nigeria and during investigation by the government, Agbele disclosed that Akande was his uncle who provided him an apartment in Hammond, Indiana.

According to Agbele, Mr. Akande returned to Nigeria in1990; however, before he left, he instructed Agbale to serve as a source of white heroin for Mr. Lee Andrew Edwards as a result of which Agbele sold white heroin for Lee Andrew Edwards on numerous occasions. Following a tip off, Agbele sold one ounce of white heroin to a law enforcement agent undercover on November 28, 1990 for $7,000 and was subsequently arrested. After his arrest, Agbele agreed to cooperate with the law enforcement agents regarding the white heroin distribution and network of Akande.

According to Agbele, Akande controlled the operation of white heroin from Nigeria in conjunction with other individuals in Nigeria and the U.S. One other individual who worked with Akande according to the affidavit was identified as Bola Tinubu who later became the governor of Lagos state from 1999 to 2007.

The investigation also revealed that in December 1989, Akande took Bola Tinubu to First Heritage bank where Bola Tinubu opened an individual money market. In the account opening application, Tinubu, gave his address as 7504 South Stewart, Chicago, the same address used previously by Akande and his company, Globe-Link. This is the same address used as the drop-off point for packages from Nigeria that contained the white heroin. According to bank records, Bola Tinubu also opened a joint checking account in his name and the name of his wife, Oluremi Tinubu. Mrs. Tinubu had previously opened a joint Bank account also in the same bank with Abdrey Akande, the wife of the heroin kingpin, Adegboyega Mueez Akande.

Upon opening the account, Tinubu deposited the sum of $1,000 in traveler’s check. However, five days after opening the account, specifically, on January 4, 1990, Tinubu deposited the sum of $80,000 into the account.

According to the federal agent, in a credit application dated January 6, 1990, Bola Tinubu disclosed that he resided at 7504 South Stewart and that Mueez A. Akande was his cousin. Tinubu further stated that he was an employee of Mobil Oil Nigeria Limited, Fairfax, Virginia and his take home pay was $2,400 per month. Additionally, Tinubu stated on the application that he had no other sources of income and listed his wife, Oluremi Tinubu as co-applicant for the application for automobile loan. The loan was secured with the certificate of deposit in the amount of $10,000 which Tinubu had purchased with a withdrawal from the $80,000 deposit in his checking account.

According to the federal agent, Bank records from First heritage Bank disclosed that in 1990 alone, Bola Tinubu deposited $661,000 into his individual money market account and in 1993; he deposited the sum of $1,216,500 into the same money market account. The agent further avers that in 1991, Tinubu began opening accounts at Citibank in the section known as the world-wide personal banking unit where he transferred the sum of $560,000 from his money market account at the First Heritage Bank.

This development prompted the Federal agents to interview representatives from Mobil Oil regarding Tinubu’s employment status and his take-home pay. The Mobil Oil representatives confirmed to the investigators that Tinubu was employed by the Mobil Oil as a treasurer. Mobil Oil further told the federal agents that this position did not involve the transfer of large amounts of money between banking institutions. Mobil oil representatives also stated that under no circumstance would Tinubu be permitted to retain money belonging to Mobil Oil in accounts bearing Tinubu’s name. Finally, Mobil Oil confirmed that the corporation never had any accounts in banks in the southern suburbs of Chicago.

On January 10, 1992, the federal agents obtained a court Order freezing Tinubu’s accounts at First Heritage Bank and Citibank respectively. Thereafter, Tinubu contacted the First Heritage Bank to transfer money from his accounts and was advised that the accounts had been seized by the U.S Treasury.

On January 13, 1992, Mr. Moss, the Federal agent contacted Bola Tinubu in Nigeria by phone using a number provided to the First Heritage Bank by Tinubu himself. Mr. Moss averred that during the course of the interview, Bola Tinubu confirmed that he knew Mueez Adegboyega Akande. Tinubu further admitted during the interview with the federal agent that he had wire transferred $100,000 to Akande’s bank account in Houston and that the $80,000.00 of the funds used to open the account at First Heritage Bank had come from Akande. Tinubu further admitted that he had other accounts in Fairfax, Virginia and London.

Concluding his affidavit evidence, Mr. Moss stated that with all these evidence, there was probable cause to believe that the funds in the accounts held by First Heritage Bank and Citibank, N.A in the name of Bola Tinubu represented property that was involved in narcotics transaction in violation of the U.S law. He therefore, urged the Court to issue an order of forfeiture of the funds.

After a protracted litigation in which Bola Tinubu claimed that the monies legitimately belonged to him, his wife, Oluremi Tinubu and his surrogate mother, one Alhaja Mogaji, Bola Tinubu finally opted for a stipulated settlement with the U.S government. According to the settlement Order dated September 15, 1993; Hon. Judge John A Nordberg ordered that the sum of $460,000 held by Bola Tinubu in The First Heritage Bank account be forfeited to the United States Government. The Court also ordered the release of the funds held in the Citibank account and any money held in excess of $460,000 at the First Heritage account to Bola Tinubu in line with the agreement and stipulation reached by Tinubu with the federal agents.

Ironically, this case came up at the peak of the struggle against the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election by the Gen. Babagida-led military junta during which time Tinubu as a member and one of the leading financiers of the National democratic Coalition (NADECO) made several “pro-democracy” trips to the U.S ostensibly to press for U.S sanctions against the Nigerian junta. It is, therefore, doubtful whether most of those trips were actually connected with the June 12, struggle after all.

OP well done for your fake information. You must look for another straw man news. Tinubu was not involved in any crime. Read the Vanguard news item below:



10 FEBRUARY 2003 Vanguard (Lagos)
By Kenneth Ehigiator
Lagos — THE United States of America (USA) has cleared Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State of involvement in any criminal activity in that country or its territory. The US Consulate in Lagos in a February 4, 2003 letter to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Tafa Balogun said there was nothing in the records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) indicating that Gov. Tinubu had, at any time in the past, been arrested or wanted for crime in the US. The letter signed by the Legal Attache in the Consulate, Michael H. Bonner reads: "Our sincerest greetings to you and all of the law enforcement personnel in the Nigeria Police Force, whose continued assistance is very much appreciated. In relation to your letter, dated February 3, 2003, reference number SR. 3000/IGPSEC/ABJ/VOL. 24/287, regarding Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a records check of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) National Crime Information Centre (NCIC) was conducted.

"The results of the checks were negative for any criminal arrest records, wants, or warrants for Bola Ahmed Tinubu (DOB 29 March 1952). For information of your department, NCIC is a very centralised information centre that maintains the records of every criminal arrest and conviction within the United States and its territories."

To withdraw soldiers so that they can finish the rest of their people. Imagine that?

AlexBells:
When it comes to who made the biggest sacrifice to APC and Buhari's emergence, Chibuike Amechi is the man, he had lost more than anyone else for APC and while other former PDP members who decamped to APC later left the party, Chibuike Amechi had remained loyal to the party and to Mr. President.

Recall that people like Saraki, Atiku had jumped ship since the formation of APC, but Amechi remained. Now let's look at some sacrifices of Chibuike Amechi.

1. Losing his state Political Structure: This is one of the biggest aspect of Amechi's loss, given that his state of Rivers is a core PDP stronghold, Amechi lost the state structure immediately after his tenure and now nearly becoming exiled to Abuja especially as his successor Nyesom Nwike had vowed to torment him.

2. Made political enemies at home: We must not forget that Chibuike Amechi had justification for abandoning then president Jonathan especially after some injustice was then meted upon him regarding Governors forum, that not withstanding Amechi was very instrumental in bringing the defeat of Jonathan, in fact Amechi played more role in the defeat of the PDP back then than any other individual.

3. Financial Support to the APC: Real Men don't kiss and tell but it is visible to the blind that Chibuike Amechi made and continues to make sizable financial contributions to the APC.

4. Total Loyalty to the Party and Mr. President: A man of Amechi's Calibre is not to be taken for granted, former two term governor of Rivers state, the second most valuable state in Nigeria is not a child's play, a super minister yet had not been heard to be making trouble, I give it to Amechi on loyalty.

5 Ministerial Sacrifices: Amechi was the super minister of transportation and he used his office as unbiased as possible, building railroad across the country especially the North, that is great sacrifices given that the North needs more rail than the South given much land, the South on the other hand needs more Seaports given ample sea access and we are seeing some reopening of some ports.

I know Amechi deserve whatever consideration and when it comes to capacity to deliver, he is not also lacking. I hope we don't miss Amechi for APC.

OP you must have smoked heavy weed with mkpurum mirin this morning. Who is Amaechi when it comes to emergence of APC? How much did he contribute? Did he have any stable home base before leaving PDP in Rivers? What achievement did he make in his state before joining APC? The truth is that Amaechi had no political capital that he brought to APC. He was fleeing political suicide in Rivers and found a safe landing in APC which was provided by Tinubu and Buhari alliance. That’s the summary of the story of Amaechi. Please keep quiet OP, else I get angry with you. There are so many liars, opportunists and betrayers in Nigerian politics. Otherwise, Tinubu should not even be contesting with any of these shameless idiots in government that are contesting the primary with him.

Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance.

Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;

Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
The University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!

Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!

Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.

Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!

We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.

*What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"*

Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.

*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then. Today, he is shouting restructuring that he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*.

WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF THEIR WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY:

The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation. The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the average Igbo man is fond of narrating.

However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.

Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.

To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.

But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.

After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe

Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.

For those in doubt, here is a link of one of the numerous instances in which Nnamdi Azikiwe fought against the secession clause proposal for the future Nigeria constitution.

It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.

Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university graduate is the Binis). As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are some quotes:

"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Nnamdi Azikiwe (1945).

"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma. (1949). Anascopeterson: As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the Southern Protectorate. Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in Nigeria. With that situation the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand in any democratic bargain.

But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these areas should fall in the future Eastern Region. But against common sense, the colonial masters decided to gerrymander them into the Northern Region. While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by landmass.

Anascopeterson: While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo for his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist. A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy chasing rats in a far away land.
Anascopeterson: When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that frustrated the attempts. Here is how:

In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address. But when the D-day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard. Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government. However, the British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for treasonable felony. Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance.

On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.

Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint". After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC, and moved over to Awolowo's Action Group.

Anascopeterson: The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo army officers. That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years.

Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day. In addition to the killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every region except their Eastern Region.

In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heroes. This was actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. On the 23rd of February 1966 (i.e. a month and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup, an Ijaw born Army officer called Isaac Adaka Boro who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, declared the secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people from the monumental marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region.
But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to the military high command under him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal.

Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his previous rank.

Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria and without consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic for which he fought against him and killed his soldiers. Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession declaration 15 months earlier.
Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of Biafra. But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But from the facts as above, who really betrayed the other in all honesty? Be the judge. Why Gowon fought against Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra was as follows:

After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging. Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession, he was reminded of the Anti-secession Decree made by him and his brother Ironsi.

Deadly Truth: Igbos frequently reference Aburi Accord to create the impression that the rest of Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.

First and foremost Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle. Secondly, those civil servants and military men in attendance were not elected by their federal constituencies to the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy the only universally acceptable way of making laws is through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi the peoples' representatives duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process. Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the people? Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. Aburi Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have been allowed to stand.

Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the Independence constitutional conference. Those representatives all resolved and agreed on federalism marked by regional autonomy and resource control in the Independence Constitution which they brought back home and everyone accepted it.

In that constitution, Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power. It was also clearly stated in it that ammendments to it could be done by only democratically elected representatives.

That constitution was the first ever agreement between all Nigerians. On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence constitution regardless of the circumstances that may later arise. But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees, and ended up dismantling the federalism and resource control therein, and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. That was the height of Irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement. That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements.

So Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence constitution agreement.
Anascopeterson: Obasanjo removed history from the school curriculum hence the reason why many of what we know of the eventualities in Biafra war were altered to suite their narratives.

Convicted for drug trafficking without evidence. Yet British and US ambassadors visit him in his house? Rubbish!!! Try another dirty digging. This one doesn’t work.

So, when you open the case, was Tinubu part of the accused, was he convicted ? Show us the details, not links. You are hiding something by not showing us the details.

Gozac:
APC is firmly in the hands of PMB and where ever his headed, PGF of northern extraction will surely follow. Badaru, ElRufai and Zulum have already given the hint if you're truly following the political machinations so far
PMB has absolute support of PGF

If Buhari behaves irrationally they will not follow him.

They are no more fulani? Toh! IPOB unna wedone oh! Continue to tell lies, instead of owning up to your atrocities. Are you cowards, that you can’t own up?

Buhari cannot force consensus down the throat of any aspirant. And as massive as Tinubu support is, Buhari’s popularity will be put to test if he should slug it out with Tinubu by naming a preferred candidate against Tinubu.
